Hugh Jackman is hitting the gym hard as he gears up to step back into the iconic role of Wolverine for the highly anticipated film, Deadpool 3.

Taking to his Instagram, the Logan star dropped a thrilling throwback video of his workout to prepare himself for reprising his character.

Beth quipped while recording the video, “Andy tell him! Tell him, one more [rep],” prompting The Greatest Showman star to stay motivated during the workout.

Jackman dropped the video along with the caption, “When I was #becomingwolverineagain my friend and trainer Beth Lewis was always by my side. And so too was her trusted assistant Andy! #july26th #throwbackthursday.”
