Wolverine Workout

Wolverine Workout

Hugh Jackman talked about his workout to become Wolverine. He does it in 12 weeks by following this workout. In the first 6 weeks he does not workout over an hour and between workout days there must be 2 days to let the muscle repair. Use the maximum possible weights.

For this workout you have to do 3 sets:

§  First set: (8 reps)

§  Second set (6 reps)

§  Third set (4 reps)

A.      Bench press

Lie on a bench with the barbell above your chest and both hands must be slightly wider than your should width. Lower the bar to your chest and push it back up again.

B.      Incline dumb-bell fly

Lie on an incline bench holding two dumb-bells above your chest. Open your arms sideways until they’re parallel with the floor, then go back up again.

C.      Close-grip barbell press

Lie on a bench below a barbell rack. Hold the bar with your hands about 20cm apart. Lower the bar slowly to your chest and then push upwards in a controlled motion.

D.      Tricep dip

At a dip station get into starting position with arms straight . Bend your arms at the elbows until you reach 90 degrees, then push back up.

E.       Press up

Get into press up position bend your arms at your elbows until your nose as an inch from the ground. Then push back to the start position.

After 6 weeks doing this workout it’s time to do some cardio. Hugh Jackman combines the previous with some running or rowing. Instead of lifting maximum weights he takes lighter ones but does more reps:

·         First set (10-14 reps)

·         Second set (10-14 reps)

·         Third set (10-14 reps)

·         Fourth set (10-14 reps)
