Hugh Jackman:
Hugh Jackman, who portrayed the role of Wolverine in the X-Men movies, added a lot of muscle mass for his role, which shocked many people. His height is 6’1″ and weight is 200 pounds. It was vital for him to look buffed and ripped for his role as a superhero. Sources say that Hugh can bench press 315 lb and leg press 1000 lb !! He used his upcoming role as a motivating factor to achieve a ripped look for the movie.
Hugh Jackman Wolverine Workout:
Hugh Jackman achieved the look through 2 phases of training:
1.Gaining Muscle Phase: The trainer of Hugh Jackman made sure he followed the 3-seconds up, 1 second down tempo. Although it limited the weight he could lift, but it helped him develop lean body mass.
2.Strength Gaining Phase: It was mainly concerned with moving as much as weight as possible.
These phases lasted 6 weeks each. However, to look super-ripped, Hugh Jackman would lift weight only once per week in the last week of the phase and the rest of the week he did cardio training, which made sure that he shaved off any fat he had gained in the last few weeks.
