Unless you're bitten by a radioactive spider or injected with the super-solider serum, you're not going get a superhero physique overnight. You have to work at it, and that is exactly what Josh Brolin has been doing.

Since getting cast to play Cable in Deadpool 2 two months ago, Brolin has been hitting the gym extremely hard in order to look like the bionic-armed, straight-faced, time-traveling mutant. And in that time, Brolin has shared a handful of images of his extraordinary progress.

However today, he has shared a workout video that features the noticeable and impressive bulging muscles and veins he has achieved from weight training and eating clean foods. As for the workout itself, Brolin does seated hammer curls.

"The 'Team' is killing it. It takes a small village: [Justin Lovato] at [I Am Built], Jonathon Phillips [at Huntington Beach Max Muscle], [Gold's Gym] and some discipline," Brolin caption the video. "Just saw [Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista] at the gym and he said: 'What the f*ck happened to you?!' Haha. Best compliment ever. Totally clean: no sugar, no breads, no pastas, no drugs, none of it. Fish, rice, eggs, veggies, water, one Bulletproof or Caveman coffee in the morning. I'm almost 50. It's a different time: our access along with some big picture discipline results in always surprising milestones. Get on the train."

Hinting at the on-screen animosity to come, Brolin added the hashtag: "#ryanreynoldsismybitch."

Providing another look at his Cable hairstyle and giving us fans of The Goonies a good laugh, Brolin also posted a photo of himself dressed again as Brand, Mikey's buff older brother. Why'd he do it? A friend of his had an '80s-themed birthday party. And since he didn't know what to wear, his wife suggested he embrace his very first role, so he did.
