How much does Henry Cavill weigh

#1

Post by aurelius » Mon Mar 22, 2021 9:25 am

I like Henry Cavill. He's a dork. And didn't start lifting until later in his life. He wanted to actually look like Superman and needed to get big.

The interwebs says Cavill is 6'1" and weight 190 pounds. LIES!!! I'm 190 at 5'8".

If he really is 6'1", he's got to be 220 plus. Thoughts?

How heavy would you be if you were as lean as he is?

Also, though I'm not sure how much of a difference this makes to bodyweight, I would expect an actor who works out for professional reasons to be very top-heavy.

190 could be right. He skips leg day.

Those 2016 stick legs have to be holding him back from being an adult male. Joke aside, I don't know what a quadricep weighs on him vs Tom Platz, but I feel (based on no research) he's gotta be losing 10 lbs of muscles with those stork limbs.

Does he? That's probably in the 405 plus range. And yes he is dropping the weight which is annoying. But you are right: probably focuses more on upper body than any of us do.

https://i.blogs.es/f130b8/henry-cavill- ... _2000.jpeg

Had not considered if he is probably around 5-7% bodyfat when shooting films. That would put him in the 190-200 range from a healthier 15%-20% bodyfat.

Read that he stayed at 5-7% bodyfat the entire BvS shoot of 150 days. Motherfucker that is tough. And studio threatened to drug test him. Couldn't have Superman roiding.

Okay Google-Fu gave me this: To promote the film, Cavill and his trainer Mark Twight revealed to Muscle and Fitness that he maxed a deadlift at 435 pounds, a back squat at 365 pounds, and ten sets of ten front squats at 225 pounds.

Probably only does a bunch of high set, high rep stuff at a high intensity. Which I hate. I wouldn't do 10x10 front squat at 225.






I'm bored at work today.

I think if I were a studio that wanted a Superman at 5-7% bf I would probably be drug testing to make sure he wasn't skipping his juice.

EDIT:with what I've seen from you on dick-tok ....

Your legs and ass are 3x moar strong and 2x moar heavily muscled than superman-actor-gui.

guarantee he has hardly as mass down there; its all 75% upper body.

-------------------

leanness goes a long way.

My son is 14. ~5'9" ~127#.
We have been doing some lifting since 11 y.o.
He's totally weak. But runs track, playfootball, sprints, etc all the time .... so lean AF. (has faint.semi sixpack)
He fucks around and jokes by flexing "how jacked he is".... (he doesn't have an ego, he does this kinda making light of the whole thing)

His noodle arms seems grow twice their size tho....

Unflexed, no-pump, relaxed state = soft DYEL stick-bug.

Working out, flexing, screwing around state = semi-jacked-looks-like-athlete-branch-bug.

-----------------------

Also, Superperson is sooooo fucking jacked, he has to wear a costume with fake foam muscles built in ?

Lol, just watched the Snyder League a couple of days ago and he wasn’t remotely close to 7% BF in that. More like 15%.

I appreciate the complement but not so sure that is true. His legs do not look small in this pic.

I 90% sure I could out lift him though. So there is that! (although his work capacity likely destroys mine)

The suit defineitly has padding for contouring. Suit material is thick and overall the suit is very tight. Muscle would not show through. I don't think it has that much padding to create bulk. Probably certain areas (shoulders, chest and abs).

Look at the Shazam guy and the costume he wears. He moves like he is in a padded suit. Cavill doesn't.

My uninformed 2 cents. I'm about to have to do actual work.

He might be sub 10% in Immortals @ 180-185ishShow

10-12%ish **maybe** for the one day of MoS shoot, ~195-205ishShow

15%ish+ off season 2016, probably 220Show

Definitely trains upper body biased, but because Twight is his trainer and he's into it outside of filming season I think he's not as legs+ass lacking as Chris Evans is, for example.

Exactly this - looking good, sure, definitely not Ferrigno Hulk

I'm no expert but I'd buy 190-200... I know a dude like this... way more jacked looking than I could ever hope to be but he's lean as shit and a good 20+ lbs lighter than me...

For sure. I just am not going to throw him into the skips leg days group. He achieved the look he was training for (and got paid millions of dollars for).

He only got 'big' when he was cast in the Superman role. Before that I think he was a bodyweight/runner person. He was significantly smaller in size in Immortals and the Tudors. I became a fan of his watching the Tudors.

A LOT of guys in the various gyms I have lifted at are bigger in size and more jacked than me. They lift half as much. Genetics is a big factor in muscle shape. Take Arnold's chest for example. But I can't really complain about muscle shape as I walk around at 15% or greater bodyfat. Someday I will get to 10%...THEN I will complain.

Fundamentally, for 6'1" tall, I think he is in the 210 to 220 range at a normal, every day (15%) bodyfat.

Am 6’1” and have weighed myself many hundreds of times. Therefore my expert opinion is that he’s under 200 in that pic. I’m ~240. I’d guess I carry a little more muscle than him, plus a whole bunch more fat. Vis a vis, ergo, concordantly - 190

Agreed heretofore nevertheless, or elsewise
