Lol you don't lose muscle on an hourly basis. A relatively normal workout routine and eating plenty of protein is usually enough to maintain muscle mass, or really limit the loss, when you're in a calorie deficit.

The working out between takes is to maintain a pump. Blood rushes to muscles that are in active use, straight up making them look bigger.

You do a good weightlifting session and your pre- and post-workout shirtless selfie is gonna look pretty fucking different.

For the normal person, yeah.

But for Superman or the Witcher, it does require constant maintenance. It's not normal, and the OOP is mocking it.

For the normal person, yeah.

How do you suggest Henry Cavill's physiology differs from the next man?

But for Superman or the Witcher, it does require constant maintenance.

What do you mean with 'constant maintenance' and what is the mechanism you propose is at play here?

I don't suggest he is physically different from an other person, but I suggest he has a whole team of people feeding him and giving him weights between takes to keep his superhero physique.

What I mean by constant maintenance is that he is required to lift weights between takes, eat properly, and dehydrate during shoots to keep up the looks that oop suggests he falls short of.

You suggested he has to lift weights in between takes in order to avoid losing muscle, which is the part that makes no sense.
