For actors, fitness is more than just looking good on screen - it’s often about physically transforming for a role, whether that means bulking up or slimming down. Ranbir Kapoor is no exception. The actor is currently undergoing intense workouts as part of his preparation for Love and War.

Ranbir’s fitness instructor, Nam, shared a picture of the actor showcasing his strength training. Bare-chested and dressed in shorts and sneakers, the results of his dedication are quite evident.

Ranbir performs a front lever exercise

As seen in the picture, his training includes hardcore body-weight exercises, including the front lever, where the core and upper back play a vital role in providing strength to keep the body horizontal and straight while hanging from a bar. Ranbir looks focused as he performs the difficult move with full strength and precision.

Training in advanced calisthenics

The front lever exercise is part of advanced calisthenics, which relies on body weight and requires no or minimal equipment. Some advanced calisthenic workouts include pistol squats, high pull-ups, and planche, among others. To perform the front lever, Ranbir is seen using a pull-up bar. His trainer proudly shared the photo with the caption, “Airplane mode on #frontlever #calisthenics #airplanemode #ranbirkapoor.”

Earlier, Nam posted a video of Ranbir doing pull-ups—not just regular ones, but ones that included power moves and claps. Admiring his dedication, Nam wrote, “I guess pull-ups are not enough anymore, so today we decided to clap.” This impressed his wife, Alia Bhatt, who dropped fire emojis in the comments.

Upcoming film Love and War

After achieving success with Animal, Ranbir will be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. While he has previously worked with Alia in Brahmāstra, this will be the trio’s first film together. This project is particularly special for Ranbir, as he made his debut with Sanjay’s Saawariya in 2007.
