Chris Evans's Captain America Workout
Chris Evans’ Workout consisted of a heavy split routine. For those that don’t know what a split routine is, it is when you train one body part each day of the week and then rinse and repeat. It’s what I recommend in most of my posts. I wouldn’t say this workout is limited by any gym experience, it is intensive however and if your just starting it may be worth seeking more basic training before attempting this.
Day 1 – Captain America Workout
Starting off the week with a Leg workout involving plenty of compound exercises;
Leg Press
Leg Extension
Leg Curl
Squats
Lunges
Calf Raises
Do each of these exercises for 4 sets with 8 repetitions in each. Keep the rest time to a maximum of 90 seconds. Walking at the end of this should not be pleasant.
Day 2 – Chris Evans Workout
This second day is going to be a shoulder session;
Military Press
Dumbell Press
Lateral raises
Shrugs
Seated Lateral Raise
Seated Barbel Press
Again 4 set of each with a minimum of 8 repetitions.
Day 3 -Chris Evans Workout
Day 3 is going to be a Back day and contains another set of compound movements which aids muscle hypertrophy.
Pull ups
Deadlifts
Seated row
Straight leg deadlift
Pulldown
Bent over row
Lateral Flys
This is an exceptionally intensive day, again aim for 4 set of 8 reps. Pushing yourself to failure on the deadlifts is a must.
Day 4 – Captain America Workout
This can be a rest day if you are feeling a little sore and I would recommend it. However if you are feeling good lets get working our chest.
Flat Bench Barbell Press
Incline Bench Berbell Press
Flat bench Dumbbell Press
Decline Dumbbell Press
Incline Dumbell Flys
Peck Deck
Pullovers
Again an intensive day with 7 exercises, 4 sets each of 8 repetitions.
Day 5 – Chris Evans Workout
Today we are going to purely focus on the guns.
Dumbbell curls
Tricep pushdowns
Barbell Curls
Preacher Curls
Skull Crushers
Hammer Curls
Again every exercise for 4 sets and with 8 reps in each.
Depending on if you have a rest day half way through the exercise you will now have either 1 or 2 days off. You then rinse and repeat and expect to see insane results within a short period of time.
So in conclusion the Chris Evans Workout is an intensive mass building routine. There are plenty of compound exercises put in throughout the week. This makes sure every muscle is constantly being worked out. 2 rest days are in there just to make sure you don’t become a complete mess, it should be intensive enough with them.
