Chris Hemsworth Workout Plan

Chris Hemsworth is one of the most popular actors today, and he gets into jaw-dropping physical condition for his roles in movies like Thor and The Avengers.

I recently stumbled across a pretty interesting interview with his personal trainer, and thought I would share a few take-aways, since we’re on this topic of getting “Lean and Jacked” on our social media posts this week:

#

Chris Hemsworth Workout Plan – 3 Tips to Get Lean and Jacked

1 – Lift heavy weights most days of the week

If you are trying to add strength, you need to give your muscles the proper stimulus to grow. 

Of course, “heavy” is a totally relative term… YOUR “heavy” is probably different that my “heavy”… the main point is that you’re lifting a load that challenges you and pushes you and takes you *close* to failure on at least some of your working sets.

We do this exact thing with Hybrid Kettlebell Muscle, learn more here:

-> Hybrid Kettlebell Muscle + HIIT FIT KB Conditioning “2-for-1”

2 – Start training at least three months before a movie role

It takes some time to get into peak shape! You can’t do it in 14 or 28 days. This is why Chris starts training at MINIMUM 12 weeks before a movie roll.

Make a commitment to at least the next 12 weeks of doing whatever it takes to reach your goal.

3 – Eat a lot

Chris Hemsworth’s trainer claims that he eats 4500 calories a day when he’s in maximum bulk mode.

You may not need or be able to eat that much, but one thing I do see frequently is that people do not eat consistently and enough quality food to support muscle growth. 

You need to eat on a regular schedule, get enough protein, and make sure that you’re putting healthy foods in your body all day long.

#

I hope these three tips direct from Chris Hemsworth’s personal trainer help you gain more strength and muscle than last time!

KB STRONG – “Lean and Jacked Special” sample workout

This week’s “Lean and Jacked Special” includes TWO full training plans:

1 – HIIT FIT Kettlebell Conditioning (high-intensity KB workouts for extreme conditioning and full-body fat loss)

AND

2 – Hybrid Kettlebell Muscle (my 6-week “hybrid” barbell / kettlebell / bodyweight program for strength and muscle)

Today I’m going to hook you up with a sample muscle-building, strength-jacking, fat-shredding workout from Hybrid Kettlebell Muscle.

The main workouts utilize barbells, kettlebells, and your own bodyweight. HOWEVER – we’ve also built out progressions and options so that you can still complete the workouts, even if all you have is kettlebells. Barbells are NOT required:

#

KB STRONG – “Lean and Jacked Special” sample workout

PART 1

Perform five reps of the back squat. (You could alternatively do a double KB front squat if you do not have access to a barbell).

DOUBLE KB FRONT SQUAT – (demo video here in full program)(recommended weight – 8k/12+k (women); 16/20+k (men)

BEGINNER LIFTERS – work on your form first and foremost, don’t worry too much about weight just yet. GENERAL guideline – we typically load two bars when we do this movement w folks just starting out in our group classes @ FVT with 65 to 95 pounds (women) and 95 to 115 pounds (men). If you have a decent fitness base but little lifting experience, this is a good place to start.

INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED LIFTERS – work up your weight for each of the first two sets; last two sets should be performed at ~75-77% 1RM.

BACK SQUAT – (demo video here in full program)

*Rest ~ 30 seconds, then:

Perform a 20 second side plank hold on each side – (demo video here in full program)

*Rest ~60-90 seconds; repeat rotation three more times for a total of four rounds.

PART 2

Perform three rounds of the circuit below, moving quickly from one exercise to the next and resting as little as possible:

Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Workout #14

– 12 push ups

– 20 one arm KB swings (10 R / 10 L)

– 5 windmills/side

– 8 goblet lunges/side

This workout is done “beat-the-clock” style. So on the minute, every minute, you’ll start a set of a given exercise. Your rest period is the length of time between when you FINISH each exercise and the next 60 second interval starts.

For example – do 12 push ups. If it takes you 30 seconds, you get 30 seconds rest before you start the swings on the next 60 sec interval. If it takes you 10 seconds to do them, you get 50 seconds rest. If it takes you 45 seconds to do them, you get 15 seconds rest. Etc.

Do three to five rounds of the sequence total, using this same work-to-rest ratio.

Sample Personalized Workout: Alan’s Kettlebell Complex

Question:

If I went through YOUR current (or past) kettlebell routine, could you tell me the WHY behind how it’s put together?

For example, could you answer:

– Why (or why not) each exercise is included?
– Why you are doing the specific amount of sets / reps chosen for each move?
– Why each muscle group / movement pattern is getting the amount of total work / volume that it is each week?

If you don’t have a good answer to these questions, it’s not your fault… but I also think this is why my personalized kettlebell workout program shines:

-> https://forestvance.lpages.co/kettlebell-workouts-for-men-and-women-over-40/

Just imagine how much faster progress you could make if I designed a workout plan specifically for you, and you started really paying attention to this kind of detail!

Here’s an example:

– 

Sample Personalized Workout: Alan’s Kettlebell Complex

CLIENT NAME – Alan

AGE – 54

GOALS – Improve kettlebell form / technique; gain strength; lose 18 pounds over next 12 weeks

CURRENT FITNESS PROGRAM – Kettlebell workouts from my “300” KB Challenge program 2-3x per week

PAST WORKOUT HISTORY – Has done several half marathons, weightlifting / bodybulding

INJURIES / LIMITATIONS – Knee issue that prevents high volume / load on heavy knee bending moves like lunges

SAMPLE – KB COMPLEX (this is just one section of a single workout! – Alan’s complete program is FAR more detailed and extensive):

Perform three rounds of the complex below. Rest approx 90 seconds between rounds:

*We’re keeping the rep range moderate (5-10 per exercise) so that we can both preserve / improve muscle strength, while at the same time training at a high enough volume to burn maximum calories

– Snatch x 5 per side (Alan is fairly well versed in kettlebell form, and we’re trying to improve lower body explosiveness and conditioning… also, we put the most difficult / complex KB move at the TOP of the circuit so that we’re fresh and can use the best possible form)
– Clean & Press x 5 per side (here we are simply working on overhead pressing strength, keeping the reps lower so that we can use a reasonably heavy weight)
– 1-Arm Swing x 5 per side (working the hip hinge pattern and also the core with the anti-rotational aspect of one-arm swings)
– Goblet Squat x 5 (working the lower body squat pattern, but keeping the reps fairly low to go easy on Alan’s knee)
– Row x 5 per side (working the upper body pulling pattern that is often neglected but such a key part of balanced development)

I’m still looking for a few more people to join my personalized KB workout program, but we’re down to the last couple of open spots!

VIDEO – Kettlebell Mistakes (and how to fix them) – Part 1

Mastering the basics of good form is SO key to avoid getting injured AND to make the best possible progress towards your goals!

Evatec Hybrid Duffel Offer – Is It a Scam? (my review)

You may have seen the Evatec Hybrid Duffel Offer and thought, is it a scam?

I don’t blame you, there is a lot of fishy stuff on the internet these days!

Well, from my personal experience, I would say NO, it is not a scam. The offer is legit, and gets my stamp of approval.

I ordered one of these Hybrid Duffel bags myself a year or so ago.

I like it a lot and actually use it every day!

I take it to work with me and it fits all of my gym clothes, an extra pair of shoes (separate compartment for those which is pretty cool), my lunch sack, a large water bottle, pre-workout supplements, and more.

It also converts into a backpack (the whole “hybrid” idea) which is a cool concept, and works great if you’re taking it on a weekend trip or something.

​​​​​​​

I have also have referred around 200 customers to the offer over the last few months, and so far so good, they are loving the bags too!

Check out the offer and order now at the the link below (be sure to use this link only if you want to get it for free):
