The Mighty Thor workout plan

Thor - being god requires godlike body, for which Chris Hemsworth needed to bulk up. He trained for 6 months under experienced eye of Duffy Gaver (former NAVY seal).
"It's pretty simple bodybuilding," Gaver says about the workout, which was used prior to last summer's Thor and this month's Avengers.  "We benched, but you'll notice that there's not a ton of chest work. Once you develop huge pecs, you look like another gym rat, and it makes everything else look smaller."



According to Gaver, Chris didn't touch single muscle-enhancing substance (yeah, right) - the key to gaining those 20 pounds of muscle was red meat, heavy lifts, and his complete dedication to this program:

  1. Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared
    to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware
    of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed
    while people think about worries that they just do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top
    and also defined out the whole thing without having side
    effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
    Thanks
