Fan edits, screenshots, and scene compilations of Heated Rivalry have taken over the internet, but now fans are showing their love for the show in a whole new way: by switching up their workout routines in the hopes of getting back arches and caked-up glutes like the stars of the gay hockey romance show.
Hudson Williams, who plays hockey star Shane Hollander, nearly broke the internet with his back arch got more than 23 million views on social media after fans saw a scene in the show where he crawls naked across a bed to his rival and lover, Ilya Rozanov.
Ilya actor Connor Storrie has also captured the imagination of gays everywhere after showing off his impressive butt in a particular shower moment and during the explicit gay sex scenes the show has become known for.
Not only are fans hot for Williams’ nasty back arch and Storrie’s unbelievable dump truck, but they’re working out to get the same results for themselves.
@tmurray06 Heated rivalry is proof that we don’t need AI in storytelling. We need human stories and human butts #heatedrivalry #gay #lgbtq
Some people are focused on flexibility so they can master William’s back arch, and other people are hitting the gym to focus all of their energy on glute gains.
The two actors even gave viewers a hint of what workouts they did prior to filming to get those mouth-watering hockey butts. Williams admitted to being “butt obsessed” and using the abductor machine at the gym, while Storrie hinted that cable squats were responsible for how caked up he looks in the show.
@etalkctv HE said it, WE didn’t… 👀 When we chatted with the stars of ‘Heated Rivalry,’ Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, Hudson told us he was “butt obsessed” for the role and shared he used to have a tally of the number of times he mooned people. 'Heated Rivalry’ is streaming now on @cravecanada 🇨🇦 & @HBO Max 🇺🇸 #HeatedRivalry #HudsonWilliams #ConnorStorrie #JacobTierney #Canadian #Hockey #Sports
Envious of their bodies, some fans got to work immediately.

Improving flexibility seems to be the main way people are prepping to arch their backs like Shane.
@terryaunbell0 seeing shane hollander’s arch told me i had to lock in and start stretching! #heatedrivalry #shanehollander #arch

Other fans seem to already have the move down.
@rickyrubio1 can he like… drop the glute routine?🥵 #heatedrivalry #ilyarozanov #hbomax #gay #glutes
And then there are people who are upping their glute routines to get a peach like Ilya.
@pookieschmooks i dont want the booty that bad actually #heatedrivalry #ilyarozanov #connorstorrie #hollanov #hudsonwilliams
While other's have decided it might be too much work when you can just rewatch Heated Rivalry on repeat to stare at the stars instead.

Even female fans are hitting the gym to get Ilya's butt!
