Are you looking to get in the best shape of your life? Check out the Men’s Health MA40 DVD set and learn how to completely transform your body — not matter how old you are.

Gettin’ stronger – progress thru pain. 455lbs barbell glute/hip thrusts with 5 second hold at the top with hip circle above knees for greater glute activation. These small gains for me wind up being big gains in the long run considering the multiple injuries over the years I suffered on the football field and in the wrestling ring. Tore both my quadricep & adductor tendons off my pelvis. Five knee surgeries. Torn Achilles’ tendon. Triple hernia (emergency) surgery. Upper body I’ve been a pretty lucky SOB over the years having had just one total reconstruction surgery done on my shoulder when I shredded everything. Waist up, I’m Superman… Waist down, I’m Bionic Man ?*inserts cheesy joke. If you’re going thru injuries or set backs — stay focused, listen to your body and let pain be your guide to come back stronger and better. Remember any and all progress, physical or mental – will always come thru pain. #ProgressThruPain #IronParadise #CauseIFuckingSaidSo ??? Brotha @c.t.ali.fletcher

Prepping for X-Men took Jackman’s physique to the next level.

So many layers to creating a character, but often only the physical is captured in a photo. Deep in thought… what will I learn from this next venture… How will I grow from the process… as always I am grateful for the opportunity to make magic. Blessed. #Bloodshot

Last workout before I head out to promote @avengers .. and that’s what this picture is for! Strictly promoting Avengers Infinity War. It’s not at all a shameless gratuitous ab shot! ?…. ?ok ok!! It is! It’s a cheap, shameless, douchey, pointless, gratuitous ab shot!! I admit it! But in my defense 1-I rarely and I mean rarely post shots like this. And 2-at my age, how much longer am I going to have abs?! So cut me some freaking slack people! and I am already aware that you don’t like my damn tattoos! So save your shitty comments! Have a nice day?…and remember to get your tickets for @avengers #infinitywar #Drax #dcpride

Meet ERIN!!! My new bestie @bestfriendsanimalsociety !!!! This gorgeous gal is READY to get out of the shelter and lay all over you. She’s been there way too long already. Don’t be intimidated by her size. Just so much more of her too love! I spent a good chunk of time with her today and she is truly a mush. If you’re in NYC and want a pal… look no further. All adoption fees are paid for. All you have to do is be as amazing as her and go GET HER. She’s been there far too long, for no good reason. Let’s help her out! #adoptdontshop #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram #rescue
