Henry Cavill has been hitting the gym.

In a recent Instagram post, Cavill, 42, shared several clips in a carousel of a recent workout. In the first photo, he’s showing off a six-pack while wearing a leg brace.

“Endure. In enduring, grow strong,” he captioned the post, quoting Dak’kon from the video game Planescape: Torment.

Cavill is currently recovering from a calf injury sustained while training for his role as Connor MacLeod in Amazon MGM’s Highlander remake. The injury caused production to be delayed until after the start of the year.

Though he doesn’t post often on social media, his last update before the most recent came on September 19, showing his leg propped up on a table, wrapped in what appeared to be an ankle bandage.

Since then, he’s working hard to rehab his injury, powering through a leg day workout. Check out the exercises he hit below.
