Liam Hemsworth is the man of the moment in Hollywood. His latest silver-screen outing Land Of Bad may have failed to perform at the box office but Hemsworth’s performance as jacked-up sergeant JJ Kinney was hailed by fans and critics alike.
The Poker Face actor is also all set to replace Henry Cavill and take on the role of Geralt of Rivia in season 4 of the popular Netflix series The Witcher. The iconic role is another character that required Liam Hemsworth further to level up his workout routine and diet plan.
That said, fans were a little sceptical about Hemsworth’s ability to match Cavill’s ripped-up body, but the latest sneak peek of his intense gym routine suggests otherwise.

Since the summer of last year, the Hollywood heartthrob has been diligently following a gruelling fitness routine for Geralt’s character that was evident in his recent Instagram post, where he also expressed gratitude for the love received for his latest release.
Well, Hemsworth’s readiness to undergo a body transformation for a role showcases his commitment to his craft and fitness, which he loves and enjoys.
On that note, here’s deconstructing Liam Hemsworth’s workout routine and diet plan.
Liam Hemsworth’s workout routine details
Actor Liam Hemsworth’s exercise routine is a good mix of outdoor activities and gym workouts.
In a 2021 interview with Men’s Health, the Australian actor shared his workout routine, emphasising the importance of spending time outdoors. He engages in activities like cycling, playing soccer or basketball, surfing, going on long hikes, and incorporating shoulder-strengthening exercises like push-ups into his outdoor workouts.
Striking a balance between gym and outdoor exercise also helps Hemsworth work out when he is on long shoots at obscure locations where going to the gym isn’t possible.
Liam Hemsworth’s gym workout breakdown
Talking about his gym workout, Hemsworth combines various exercises such as burpees, bodyweight squats, pull-ups, push-ups, and dips.
That said, one particular exercise that he loves is Tabata, a high-intensity timed exercise routine. This also helps him strengthen his core, since the actor prioritises functional training more than muscle training. Hemsworth understands that exercises like bicep curls and deadlifts can help develop impressive arm muscles, but he also values the significance of improving posture, back strengthening and reducing the risk of injury.
When it comes to strength training, Hemsworth dedicates five sessions per week, each lasting between 60 to 90 minutes. He focuses on compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses and pull-ups. The goal is to cycle through these exercises and complete as many reps as possible within a 20-minute time frame. Alternatively, he challenges himself to complete 100 reps of each exercise as quickly as possible.
To complement his strength training, Hemsworth incorporates cardio exercises like cycling, and 15 minutes of rowing machine into his routine. He also enjoys sprinting and swimming for a fun and healthy cardio session.

Apart from following a rigorous workout routine, Hemsworth is known for his commitment to a disciplined diet, especially when preparing for movie roles. His diet focuses on lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, and the occasional cheat meal.

His fling with veganism
Interestingly, The Hunger Games star embraced veganism for about four years from 2018 to 2022 and attributed improvements in his energy levels, sleep and overall fitness to the plant-based diet.
In an interview, he mentioned that he enjoyed consuming ‘boring veggies’ as a kid and now he is back to including beans, legumes, lentils, seeds, nuts, and plant-based protein shakes in his diet.
However, Hemsworth shifted back to a meat-based diet in 2023. He still loves his greens for every meal coupled with lean meat.
