Jackman managed to dead lift 183kg for five solid reps, and shared his achievement in a video with his 1.2 million Instagram followers today.

But it wasn’t without a few moans and groans from Jackman, and encouragement from others who watched and cheered him on in the gym.

Just a month ago, Jackman was trying to lift 197kg, but spotters stepped in to assist him, before he called out “Don’t touch it!”

Jackman regularly shares his fitness journey with his fans on social media. His latest news comes after he responded to an Instagram post Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson posted online, asking “What would Hugh Jackman do?” when Johnson went to the gym in the rain.

At the time, Jackman replied back with a post saying: “Hey DJ. It’s 5:45am in NYC. No hurricane .....just time to FOCUS!!!!! @TheRock,” he captioned his video.
