Michael B. Jordan’s Erik Killmonger Workout and Diet to Get in Supervillain Shape
Drinking a Lot of Water
The actor drank a gallon of water every day to keep in good shape. But the side effect of this was that he often had to go to the bathroom at night when he was trying to sleep.
Strenuous Workouts and Diet
To get fit for the role, he worked out two to three times in a single day and had to have 6 meals in a day.
Different Pieces of Training
To train perfectly for the role, he underwent gun training, weapon training and spent a lot of time in learning and doing mixed martial arts.

As he had to ensure that he ate the right meals constantly, this had a very bad impact on his social life because he couldn’t go out much with friends or party at the club with them.
Preferred Workouts
The star is a huge fan of boxing and likes to shoot perfect punches at the opponent. This exercise also helps him to feel more connected.
Staying Fit Forever
The film personality also said that he is always trying to keep in shape because his roles demand the same. When someone joked that he needs to play a lazy character who does nothing but gained weight by just sitting around all day and having pizza, he half agreed to it.
Trainer’s Help
To get super strong for the role, Jordan took the help of his long-time trainer who took on the challenge by assuming that he was training a bodybuilding marine, not just an actor. He created a program consisting of complex fundamental movements such as dumbbell bench presses to fill out his shoulders and chest. Over time, the California-born was able to push about 110-pound dumbbells up in the air.
