Hugh Jackman had a very intense workout routine indicated in our hit article Most Jacked Celebrities Actors: http://www.muscleprodigy.com/most-jacked-celebrities-actors-arcl-1334.html. This is his routine: In his preparation he trained for 5 months and did 2 phases each lasting of a few weeks, going back and forth. "I'd change it up every 3 weeks," he says. "Three weeks heavy with lots of rest between sets. Then change to lighter weight, slower reps, four count up, four count down. Then mix in fast, explosive lifting, always changing the workout." 1) A Trempo Phase for Mass 2) A Strength Training Phase Muscle Muscle Phase: Hugh Jackman's trainer wanted to force Hugh's muscles to adapt and force them into new growth, so he had Hugh do lots of variations with reps, tempo, and weight. Strength Training Phase: Hugh's trainer made sure that Jackman solely concentrated on lifting as heavy as possible with no rules on tempo. The previous phase primed his body for this phase, making the faster repetitions with the same weight seem like a breeze. "For Wolverine, I ramp it up," he says. "I do an hour and a half a day in the gym and eat a thousand calories more a day than I would normally. And I train really hard. I crank up the Godsmack and Metallica. I yell and scream, which helps me get into the character and have a bitch of a workout." He also ate six meals a day with lots of vegetables and lean proteins.
