How Glen Powell Achieved His Top Gun: Maverick Physique
If you’ve ever watched Top Gun: Maverick and wondered how Glen Powell built that chiseled, action-hero body, you’re not alone. Luckily, there’s one man who can reveal exactly how it was done.
The Challenge: A Dramatic Transformation in Just Seven Weeks
When Glen landed the role of Lieutenant Jake “Hangman” Seresin, he needed a rapid physical transformation for the iconic shirtless beach football scene—a nod to the original’s volleyball montage. He turned to Rabih, founder and CEO of Core and More Fitness Clapham, widely considered one of the world’s top personal trainers.

Glen didn’t have months to train or personal chefs preparing meals around the clock. The pressure was immense—but Rabih thrives in high-stakes environments.
Science-Backed, Time-Efficient Approach
Rabih’s method is designed for busy clients who need fast, effective results without spending endless hours in the gym or obsessing over calories. The mission for Glen: strip body fat, build lean muscle, and unveil abs worthy of the big screen.
Strategic Training Regimen
Rabih started with an in-depth assessment of Glen’s body type, lifestyle, and fitness level. He then designed a program focused on compound movements like deadlifts, squats, and bench presses to maximize muscle recruitment in minimal time.
Training for Strength and Performance
The goal wasn’t just aesthetics; it was about building functional strength and the energy needed for demanding filming schedules.
Nutrition: Simple, Sustainable, and Effective
Nutrition played a pivotal role. Rabih crafted an easy-to-follow meal plan based on whole foods: lean proteins, fibrous vegetables, healthy fats, and strategically timed carbs to fuel workouts and recovery.
Consistency Over Fads
No extreme diets, no starvation—just smart, sustainable eating that delivered rapid body composition changes.
Recovery: Non-Negotiable for Results
With late nights and mental stress from filming, recovery was essential. Rabih emphasized sleep, stress management, and smart supplementation to keep Glen energized, injury-free, and focused throughout the transformation.
