Do you want to have a body like a world movie star? Then carefully study the diet and training of the most famous Hollywood actor. Since childhood, Jason was introduced to art, as his father was a singer, and his mother was a dancer. This predetermined his future life. Although it should be admitted that the actor went in for sports professionally for a long time and most of all he loved diving. He has been a member of the UK national team for the sport for twelve years.
The star's father, in addition to his singing career, was also engaged in gymnastics, having introduced his son to this business. Chance helped him to become a film actor in many ways. In the late nineties, he was invited to take part in the filming of a commercial for Tommy Hilfiger products.
Soon the owner of this company became one of the producers of Guy Ricci's sensational film Lock, Money, Two Barrels. It was he who offered Statham a role in the film. The director appreciated Jason's talent, and the start of a film career was laid. Now let's see how Jason Statham conducts his training.
Statham's workout
Jason trains six times a week, and Sunday is reserved for rest. Statham's training is based on two postulates that he always tries to follow. The first of them says - never repeat yourself. An actor never does the same thing. Of course, the set of exercises has been defined for a long time, but every training day new combinations of movements are used.
Statham himself says that, say, yesterday's set of exercises will never be repeated. Thus, it is rather difficult to talk about any specific training program. Of course, we will talk about one of Jason Statham's workouts in more detail. However, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the program is changing. You must remember that diversity is essential for progress. If your training program does not change for a long time, then it will not end well. You will simply find yourself in a plateau state. Take note of the actor's first training postulate.
The second postulate can also be useful to you in bodybuilding, and it says that it is always necessary to keep track of the training time. This will allow you to see when you are not working at full strength. Note that Jason Statham's training always consists of three phases.
Warm up
You are probably already tired of reading on every specialized resource how important a warm-up is. However, this is so, and you can see it in the example of Jason, who never ignores this element of training. The actor is most often used to warm up the muscles with a rowing machine, working on it for about ten minutes. He himself says that you can use any cardio simulators, he just likes this one more.
Medium intensity lesson
After a high-quality warm-up, the actor works at a medium intensity in order to even better prepare the muscles for the final stage of the session. There are a large number of options and it will not be difficult for you to choose the most suitable one for you.
Let's say you can do several types of push-ups in three repetitions on the same day. A kettlebell can be used in the next workout. Statham himself with this sports equipment loves to perform the following exercises:
- Swings - 15 reps.
- Chest lifts followed by squats - 15 reps.
- Overhead presses - 15 reps.
Also in the second phase of his training, Statham uses basic exercises of five repetitions, a pyramid of pull-ups or push-ups, the exercise "farmer's walk", works with a medicine ball weighing about 9 kilos, etc.
Circular training
This is the final stage of Jason Statham's training, which is also the most difficult. We will provide a list of the exercises that Jason uses in his classes.
- Leg lifts bent at the knee joints - in the hang it is necessary to bend the knee joints and raise them to the ore cage. Pause at the top of the trajectory. Only 20 repetitions.
- Triple blow - the legs are located at the level of the shoulder joints. Begin to perform squats and at the end point of the movement, take an emphasis lying down, then performing push-ups. After that, with a quick movement, pull your legs to your arms and jump out. Jason performs the move 20 times.
- Goose and crab - you need to take emphasis on the palms and feet, face down. In this position, you need to walk about 25 meters in one direction, and return back in single file. Do it three times.
- Farmer's Walk - This movement should be familiar to you, but it must be performed three times as well as the previous one.
- Barbell Squat - 20 reps
- Pulling the Rope - Take a rope that is 16 meters long and tie a weight between 12 and 20 kilos to it. Start pulling the rope towards you and repeat the exercise 4 times.
