Heels Star Stephen Amell Gets Into Superhero Shape With Impressive Gym Video

Heels star Stephen Amell offered a look at his superhero-level workout routine.

In a video shared to his official Instagram account with the caption, "Trix are for curls," the actor curled what is likely between 105 to 120 pounds. Amell is currently in Atlanta, GA filming for Season 2 of the Starz wrestling drama, Heels, in which he stars as Jack Spade.

Heels' second season was officially announced in November 2021. Season 1 premiered on Starz in August of that year after lengthy production delays related in part to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as a back injury sustained by Amell while performing a stunt. "I actually fractured my hip when I did that and didn't realize it," Amell said of the stunt in July 2021. "I got a note from Big Show, 'Nice Coast to Coast. That looked pretty stiff.' And at the time, I felt like I was sitting on a tennis ball. Like, I didn't know what was going on."

Prior to his starring role on Heels, Amell portrayed the titular Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on The CW's long-running Arrow series for eight seasons, from which the Arrowverse would get its name. Arrow would inspire a number of spinoff series, including The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman and Superman & Lois.

In a recent interview, Amell said that should he ever get the opportunity to reprise his role as Green Arrow, he would want to take it to a much different -- potentially bloodier -- place. "Oh, sure. I owe so much to the people of DC, The CW, and Warner Bros. Television," Amell said about a potential return to the franchise.

He continued, "I love the character so much and only love it more now that it's coming up on two years since we wrapped the show….But having a little space now, I saw that I miss it. I do look back very, very, very fondly on it….Listen, I’m the namesake. So if I can ever be of any any help, if I can be of service to the Arrowverse in any way, shape or form, or better still take it to a new place, which I think would be the more interesting route to go, be that in a limited capacity or on a different platform, maybe one where we could show blood, that’d be really cool."

Heels Season 2 does not have a release date.
