If there’s one thing you know about Captain America, it’s that he’s got a mean set of pecs. Whether holding a helicopter to a roof or throwing vibranium robots, the 6’2″ 240-lb hero can hold his own when it comes to brute strength. But his iconic mighty shield — which he’s been shown able to throw at superhuman speeds — owes its form to a particular workout plan.
In an era when pro-juicing is stigmatized, it’s refreshing to see a film that boldly takes on a pro-natural approach to bodybuilding. The new Captain America, starring Chris Evans, shows off a physique that would have turned the head of any scrawny World War II recruit into a flutter.
To achieve the Captain America body, Evans bulked up by working on two muscle groups at a time during each vigorous session. He also ate a diet rich in proteins and fatty acids, with no sweets or alcohol. Evans has since revealed that he continued to work on his body in between movies to maintain his chiseled form.
Jeremy Strong, who plays Kendall Roy on HBO’s Succession and is the voice of Rocket in the new Toy Story 4, almost joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as an Avenger. The actor was asked to be the body double for Evans in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, playing a young scrawny World War II recruit before he was injected with the government’s super soldier serum.
