If you’re a sucker for a good superhero show, Superman and Lois is probably one of your favorites to come out this year. Tyler Hoechlin took the lead in this series after playing Clark Kent on several other Arrowverse shows, but how did he prepare for it?
Hoechlin recently discussed his fitness routine with Men’s Health and explained how he brought the knowledge from his past workouts to exercise remotely while filming Superman and Lois under strict Covid-19 protocols.
“I love my weights, and I’ve got a little bit of a set-up here to do what I can. A lot of dumbbell work, a lot of bench, a couple cables and things like that. So just pushing as much as I can with as high a weight as I can,” Hoechlin told the magazine.
The actor said his routine doesn’t include a lot of cardio, because he’s trying to build and maintain his muscle mass. He tries to add HIIT workouts and supersets to the mix between his weight-lifting workouts while keeping cardio at the minimum. When it comes to his diet, he mostly avoids carbohydrates and added sugars, and he decided to embrace a vegetarian diet after watching the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy.
