“But there are certain exercises I don't think I'll do again, like the flat bench. It just doesn't make sense for me to do that anymore.” Momoa said the decision was made to safeguard himself from over-exertion. “I still get tempted from time to time to go max lift, and to add those extra two extra plates on.
And we all know about the insane rock-climbing Momoa would do to prep for Aquaman 2. He said his maintenance workouts involve an 88-pound and a 106-pound kettlebell he'd swing, do squats with, and deadlifts.
As a Native Hawaiian, Momoa makes a natural fit to play Aquaman, while Hemsworth and his Thor character have become inextricably tied together. Both superheroes, naturally, represent the pinnacle of physical fitness, including bulging muscles from head to toe.
And his muscles are something that simply cannot be ignored. You'd assume the superstar spends hours lifting weights… But surprisingly, Momoa has openly admitted that he doesn't touch any unless he's paid to do so, making his approach to fitness much more intriguing than ever.
I find training with kettlebells and resistance bands very nurturing. The moment I discovered kettlebells, it was a game-changer. I never did any kind of isolated training for my legs, because I'm part Hawaiian, and genetically that means if I train legs even just a little bit, they get huge.
To build muscle effectively, Jason Momoa does five weight training sessions a week. He also practices other physical activities such as climbing or the bicycle. The Aquaman's training program is a bit special.
The king of Atlantis, of course, has a swimmer's physique and Momoa's vitals – 6ft 4in, 108kg, a 50-inch chest and 19-inch biceps – are not necessarily those of a man who can swim with and talk to the fishes.
Early life. An only child, Momoa was born on August 1, 1979, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Coni (Lemke), a photographer, and Joseph Momoa, a painter. His father is Native Hawaiian, while his mother is of German, Irish, and Pawnee ancestry.
The Aquaman actor underwent surgery after the movie's sequel wrapped in March and attended the 94th Oscars one day later. "Throwing bodies around... getting old, bro," Momoa joked at the time. The Dune actor, who presented at the ceremony wearing sunglasses, added of his failing eyesight, "I got to read tonight.
In some behind the scenes videos from the Aquaman 2 set, Jason Momoa showed off his padded muscle suit which provided him with some impressive looking arms!
The strongest celebrity in Hollywood is former WWE superstar John Cena, who can benchpress 210kg, squat 287kg, and deadlift nearly 300kg. How strong is Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson? Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson trains six days a week in his personal travelling gym, 'The Iron Paradise'.
If you build your diet around 80-90% high protein protein low fat foots, complex carbs, veggies, and healthy fats, you have room for a few treats. Here is Jason Momoa's muscle building diet plan. The total daily calories and macronutrients Momoa ate are broken down as follows: Calories: 2445.
“The way that I act, the way that I move, the way that I see the world—this comes from a lifestyle of climbing.” Momoa got his start in the sport after his mom, Coni, took him to the Needles, in South Dakota, where a guide introduced him to bouldering.
Real-life Jason, as it turns out, has a lot of tats across his whole body—and all of them are super meaningful. In fact, the Aquaman makeup team appears to have been so inspired by the real tattoo Jason has on his arm that they went ahead and used it as the jumping-off point for Aquaman's full-body designs.
He then took his bowler hat off to reveal what appears to be a new permanent tattoo. In the status, he tagged Keone Nunes, a master of traditional Hawaiian tattooing. In Polynesian culture, the location of a tattoo is incredibly significant.
Jason Momoa adds another dimension to his naturally curly hair by ombré dying it. By adding a lighter colour to the ends, the hair is lifted and the texture enhanced. Dyed wavy and curly hair will need plenty of TLC and nourishment.
We know that to be a superhero requires a strict diet not suitable for all stomachs. But Momoa's breakfast could be considered “weird”, as the actor himself has stated in the American media. The morning menu consists of a plate of rice with avocado, fried eggs and sardines.
Across the board, the trifecta of proper diet, regular exercise, and good sleep—especially when supported by a team of experts—helps actors achieve their physique goals fast. “The closer you get to your goal, the more important nutrition is.
The actor, who was born in Honolulu, states that his favourite foods in Hawaii include Portuguese sausage, eggs, rice, macaroni salad, kalua pig, lau lau and a large bowl of f---ing poi. Then, jokes Momoa, “it's back to sleep.”
“I was training five days a week. I'd start with benching, and then I'd do my squats and lunges, then I'd do a lot of old-school stuff. I'd literally do a row of machines at the Sports Club/LA.
