Channing Tatum Routine

As trainer William J. Harris reveals, the focus with Tatum for “Fighting” was to make him athletic looking without making him bulkier. The fact that, while still in an enviable shape, the actor also loves junk food and knocking back a few cold ones every now and then made it imperious for Harris to come up with a routine that would make Tatum lose some weight while also building muscle. After all, the aim was to make him look agile and, at the same time, incredibly strong: and the first step into that direction was to get him to drop 30 pounds in the 3 weeks before shooting started, Harris reveals. Here’s a plan I drew up that you guys can follow to get a body like Channing Tatum: Day 1 (Chest + Back + HIIT) Incline press – 4 sets x 8 reps Wide grip bar dips – 3 sets x 10-12 reps Weighted chins – 4 sets x 8 reps Bent-over barbell row – 3 sets x 10-12 reps Weighted lower back extension – 3 sets x 10 reps On treadmill/bike: Begin with a light warmup for 3 minutes (moderate walking pace) 30 second sprint followed by 90 seconds rest Repeat step 2 for 15 minutes Day 2 - Rest Day 3 – (Shoulders + Arms + Abs) Seated dumbbell shoulder press – 3 sets x 8 reps Dumbbell side raise – 2 sets x 13 reps Dumbbell rear delt raise – 2 sets x 13 reps Dumbbell curl – 3 sets x 8 reps Overhead tricep rope extensions – 3 sets x 8 reps Weighted cable crunches – 3 sets x 12-15 reps Side plank – 2 minutes per side Day 4 – Rest Day 5 – Repeat Day 1 Day 6 – Rest Day 7 – Repeat Day 3
