Today brings your the workout that got Chris Hemsworth into shape to play Thor, The God Of Thunder!
Whilst eating a lot, Hemsworh put on too much size to get ready for the role. He had to trim down so to do so he used these high intensity circuits to maintain his muscle and burn fat which can be a very hard thing to do. Here are the two circuits Hemsworth completed to keep building and shred fat for a body worthy of any God.
Circuit 1:
Side to side pull-ups: Hang from a pull up bar and complete a pull up touching your chin to your left hand, lower and repeat to your right hand. Complete for 6-8 reps each side.
Cable Crossovers: Use a cable machine and complete 8-12 reps to carve a chest of steel
High incline treadmill sprint: Set a treadmill to a 10% incline and sprint for 45 seconds at 70% of your max.
Medicine ball throw: Stand left side on to a wall with a medicine ball in the crock of your right elbow. Bring it back and fling it at the wall turning to land with your other foot nearest the wall. Complete 8 reps each side.
Cable wood chops: Use a cable machine and stand side on with a cable at shoulder height. Keeping straight arms all the way, pull the cable around to hip height for 6-8 reps each side to have the core of Thor!
Farmers Walk: Grab a set of heavy dumbbells and find a space in front you about 5m in length. Hold the dumbbells and walk 5m turn and walk back.
Repeat the circuit 3-4 times resting 60 seconds in between each circuit. You don't need to rest in between each exercise!!!
Make sure you check back tomorrow for the second circuit used by Hemsworth as well. It isn't easy being a god!
