“Thor” Björnsson is one of the strongest, most muscular men in the world—he placed second at the 2016 World’s Strongest Man contest—but he’s also used his muscles for acting, starring as the brutal and massive Ser Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane in the HBO series Game of Thrones (we think he’s one of the 25 most physically dominating villains of all time). Björnsson loves to post workouts of all kinds on Instagram, including pause squats, barbell skullcrushers, incline dumbbell presses, dumbbell presses, wide-grip deadlifts, hamstring workouts, and yes, even MORE barbell-bending deadlifts.See the post at his Instagram profile.

As the highest-paid actor in the world and one of the most jacked dudes in Hollywood, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson barely has any time to sleep—but he always has time for the gym. (See his best Instagram workout for proof.) Along with photos and videos promoting his top movies like Rampage, Central Intelligence, Jumanji, Fast 8, and Baywatch, Johnson shows off his many workouts: battle ropes, hitting the punching bag, overhand-grip biceps curls, flipping tires with Zac Efron, blasting his massive chest and shoulders with cable flyes, and doing leg curls. Johnson is as ripped as they come.See the post at his Instagram profile.

The Muscle & Fitness cover star and former professional football player—Crews spent time with the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, the Washington Redskins, and the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL—successfully made the transition to acting, but he hasn’t forgotten his fitness roots. Crews is one of the most in-shape actors in all of Hollywood, showing off his sculpted physique in The Expendables and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Crews’ Instagram workouts feature bicep curls, inhumanly heavy deadlifts, and total-body training with medicine balls and cables.See the post at his Instagram profile.

The superstar actor of Terminator and Predator fame has never forgotten his bodybuilding roots and he continues to stay in great shape even as he pushes toward 70. Whether it’s hitting on his upper back, going for hilariously “heavy” barbell curls, pumping up his massive biceps (“biceps can’t be bought”), or sharing his entire morning workout, the Governator is always ready for the gym and loves posting on social media. Check out 10 times Arnold pumped things up on Instagram and 11 amazing things about the action classic Predator.See the post at his Instagram profile.

The badass, legendary Rocky IV villain is well past 50, but that hasn’t stopped him from staying in pretty great shape—and having some massive arms to go with it. Lundgren—who appeared on Arrow as a Russian mafioso—stays busy with appearances in the Expendables series and the Universal Soldier series. Plus, he has a new action-thriller film coming with Jean-Claude Van Damme titled Black Water, which has an action-packed trailer. Lundgren is always posting his workouts on Instagram, including pushups, biceps curls, shoulder presses, medicine ball throws, kickboxing training, and even some beach workouts. Put it this way: The guy can still pack a major punch.Check out 11 times that Lundgren “broke” Instagram with his workouts.See the post at his Instagram profile.

The April 2016 Men’s Fitness cover star (and Mr. Sofia Vergara) is shredded—just see how ripped he was with a ridiculously cut six-pack and huge biceps while strutting his stuff in Magic Mike. He’ll be chasing around Dwayne “The Rock “Johnson in Rampage, and he’s been in the gym making sure he can go muscle for muscle with DJ. Manganiello keeps himself in shape with box jumps, cable workouts, bicep curls, kettlebell workouts, and rope pulls—and he has no problem sharing them with his fans on Instagram.See the post at his Instagram profile.

Instagram/ @vindiesel
The Fast & Furious star has a huge following on Instagram, and he’s a big fan of sharing frequent gym updates with his near-30 million fans on the social media platform. Diesel does most of his own stunts in movies like Fast 8 and xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, so staying in shape is a major priority. The April 2015 Men’s Fitness cover star (who detailed how he builds his signature arms and shoulders) has shown off his ripped and “tattooed” back, hitting his abs with a wheel workout, and doing cable workouts, too.Check out 10 of Diesel’s most muscular posts on Instagram, and see this post at his Instagram profile.

The martial arts master and action movie star played one of the 25 most physically dominant movie villains ever in The Expendables 2, but we all remember his ass-kicking work in classics like Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Sudden Death, Hard Target, and (of course), Street Fighter. JCVD has a new film coming up with his buddy Dolph Lundgren, the CIA action thriller Black Water, and he’s been in the gym making sure he stays ripped. JCVD likes to flash his monstrous biceps on Instagram, along with his upper-body workouts, bicep workouts, sparring, dumbbell workouts, and flexibility workouts. Even at his age, JCVD’s still got it.See the post at his Instagram profile.
