Kumail Nanjiani shows off the gym that turned him into a beefed-up hunk
Aux Features great job internet
From most people’s perspective, comedian Kumail Nanjiani’s transformation from typecast nerd to ultra-ripped superhero appeared to happen overnight. However, as anyone who has ever tried to get into shape knows, those type of results take a tremendous amount of effort, from long hours in the gym to a rigorously planned diet.
After all, you don’t get to be the face of Pornhub’s “Muscular Men” category by sitting on your couch.
Thanks to a new video from Men’s Health, we can get a look at the gym set-up that facilitated Nanjiani’s Marvel-ready body. The Eternals star answers questions about his evolving attitudes towards health and fitness while walking viewers through an example of his daily workout routine. He also discusses the contents of his fridge, his approach to dieting, and how his relationship with food has changed over the course of his transformation.
As the actor himself has explained on social media, the lifestyle he’s adopted to achieve his new look is extreme and wouldn’t have been possible without the resources provided to him by Marvel. Still, it’s cool to get a look at what it takes to turn an average Joe into a mini-Hulk.

ugh fine i’ll go do some pushups
I swear the weirdest part of watching the last season of Silicon Valley was slowly realizing that Kumail’s shirts were barely containing his shoulders.
Next up: a tour of sedentary lifestyle that turned me in to the opposite of that.*.
* “Here is the beanbag chair. That’s about it, really. Oh! Did I show you the beanbag chair?”
How far is the beanbag to your fridge? That’s an important element.
The closer the better.
I blame Doordash.Fucking Doordash.
My favorite restaurants…delivered.DAMN YOU!!!
Getting out of a beanbag chair really works the core.(You do have to get out of the beanbag chair to make this true.)
I curl my arms a lot by lifting the XBox controller and the bong up and down.
“Kumail Nanjiani shows off the g”Whoever wrote that headline has NO IDEA how fitness works.
He better get buff, because he sure as shit can’t act. That said, I’m fat, ugly, and I can’t act either.
you’re a jerk online though. is he an online jerk? i don’t think so
I’m sure he’s very nice. When you’re that shitty an actor you can’t afford to alienate people by being a jerk online. Me, I have nothing to lose.
sounds exactly like what someone hiding a stash of precious jewels would say…
Nobody better try and get me pot o’ gold!
But what about Jonah Ray’s workout routine? Actually, if DC ever make a movie version of the 80’s Justice League International, Jonah would be great as Blue Beetle.
