Achieving these goals is no easy feat, but the trio has developed a winning formula over the last decade.
According to Luke, a childhood friend of Hemsworth, the secret lies in "consistency, hard work, and also eating the right foods."
Complementing his remarkable calorie intake, Hemsworth relies on a consistent training regimen. This includes heavy weightlifting sessions lasting no more than an hour, often twice daily.
"It's normally an intense, heavy workout," Luke explained, emphasizing the focus on efficiency and pushing Chris to his limits.
To keep things fresh, Chris incorporates a mix of boxing, HIIT training, and other fitness techniques into his routine.
Bobby believes that finding a balance is crucial to achieving the best possible results for each film. "We try and take the best parts of many different styles," he said.
