The Avengers: Endgame workout series — get mighty fit like Thor
If watching your favourite superhero in Marvel’s forthcoming blockbuster film inspires you to get in shape for the summer then here’s how you can do it ...
The Avengers and their lean, muscle-bound physiques are set to dazzle the big screen once again.
With Marvel’s Avengers: End Game opening this month around the world and summer also fast approaching, why not take inspiration from your favourite superhero and forge a blockbuster body for those beach and boat trips.
In this edition of The Avengers workout series, we’re going to look at our favourite thunder god and find out how to get strong enough to wield Mjolnir, his legendary hammer.
Avenger: Thor
Thor has a jacked physique fit for a thunder god, with especially large shoulders and arms for wielding a massive hammer. The superset below makes use of two compound movements that will guarantee hitting your shoulders, back and arms hard.
Training for muscle growth will require moderate loads and more reps, which tend to have a muscle-fatiguing effect. This may create more mechanical damage and stress to your muscles, which leads to a compensation of muscle growth.
Note: This workout is a superset – Go straight from A1 to A2, and repeat for 4 sets in total.
