Tom Rhys Harries reaches the incline dumbbell press with a point that doesn't always make it into a movie-body showcase: "It's unsustainable to be in a certain kind of shape all year round."
His Clayface workout was the most-watched of Men's Health's six new uploads, drawing more than 200,000 views. Playing Matt Hagen means preparing for a physically demanding Batman villain, but the session itself is refreshingly recognizable: box squats, incline presses, cable rows and seated shoulder presses. Harries emphasizes good form, admits he hates pull-ups and recalls how playing rugby helped shape his physique.
The discussion underneath picks up on that practical streak. Viewers single out the classic exercises and his acknowledgment that intense conditioning cannot be permanent. Others have casting suggestions, imagining him as Prince Charming or the Crow. A separate clip lets him make the less modest case that Clayface could handle the other Batman villains.
Tom Hopper brings a related conversation to Strong Talk, explaining changes to his eating and training, including bringing carbohydrates back and moving away from chasing heavy lifts. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns' October Gym & Fridge visit remains a substantial daily draw and has passed a million views, with meal preparation and Akuma training sharing the itinerary.
Across the channel, the week brought roughly 1.2 million views and an unchanged subscriber count. Daily viewing is currently below its usual level. Among nearby fitness channels, Josh Bailey had a busier week for total views, while SarahBethYoga had a quieter one. For Men's Health, Harries' straightforward lifting session is the strongest active draw.
