WHEN HUDSON WILLIAMS came to MH HQ<\/a> to share his workout routine, he blessed us (and the internet at large) with more than just footage of the pumped-up total-body workout routine he uses to sculpt his physique for Heated Rivalry. The 24-year-old Canadian actor is a man made for this moment, and he paired his movements with some eyebrow raising quotes\u2014like when he was talking about his chest workouts and how he likes to finish every. Single. Set. <\/p>\n

“I’m a selfish hog,” he said in a perfectly screen-cappable moment. <\/p>\n

Thankfully for everyone, there was more footage than we posted in the original clip\u2014which we’re now sharing with MH MVP Premium members. Williams had more to say about a few subjects, like his experience filming hockey scenes, one of his top sports inspirations in creating his character Shane Hollander, and what he has to say to anyone who feels intimidated by the gym. <\/p>\n

Make sure to stay tuned through to the end to see how he claps with one hand. Hint: there are pecs involved. <\/p>\n

Soon as I got those hockey pads on, I was going so fast, I was falling. But I felt like a Ninja Turtle, because you can’t hurt yourself. I shouldn’t say that\u2014I never hurt myself, because the pads were just so cushy. <\/p>\n

Yeah, you play a cushy sport, hockey players. No, I’m gonna get killed. I take that back.<\/p>\n

Hudson Williams Loves His (and Everyone Else’s) Stretch Marks<\/p>\n

I always thought stretch marks\u2014I call them like, tiger stripes\u2014I’ve always appreciated them on women, men. One of my friends who was like my workout buddies for a long time, no matter where he worked out, whether he lost weight or gained weight, he would get them very quickly. So he had them on his chest, thighs, and I always thought they looked really cool. A lot of fitness, health can come in different shapes and sizes. So yeah, I’m happy for my my dimples and my ass stretch marks. I like them.<\/p>\n

On His Hockey Inspiration and Mamba Mentality<\/p>\n

I took a lot of inspiration from [Sidney] Crosby and Connor McDavid. Those are two guys who are not the most sociable seeming fellas, but they just seem kind as hell, true Canadians… they’re just good guys. They’re a little bit robotic, not the most charming\u2014but they seem like the best teammates, and they really just eat and breathe one thing, and that’s hockey. <\/p>\n

[I was] also [inspired] a little bit of Kobe, just in terms of his mentality and his sort of, like hyper-driven focus. I wanted Shane [Hollander] to feel like he could turn into this sort of madman on the ice, even though there wasn’t too much we saw on the ice.<\/p>\n

What Hudson Williams Wants Gym-Cautious People to Know<\/p>\n

I would tell someone who maybe hasn’t gymed before and they want to get into it, maybe they find it intimidating\u2014all the people with sauciest muscles and the biggest thighs, they just want to see you there. They don’t care where you’re coming from. Gym people are happy to be there, happy to see you just show up. So there’s no wrong time to start. Whatever gym you can show up, I’m sure people will take you in lovingly and supportively. <\/p>\n
