An Overview Of Jason Statham's Workout Strategy
by Russ Howe
If you've ever attempted to track down the gym routine of your favorite movie star you will have already noticed how hard your chosen stars train for the physiques you see on the silver screen. When it comes to action movies, however, things generally go to a whole new level. In particular, the Jason Statham workout is among the most brutal around.
This particular workout routine is not your standard 3 x 12 workout by any means. In fact, it is one of the most unusual plans in Hollywood today, incorporating tons of variety and obscure exercises which most people have never performed before.
Exercises included in the session may be unfamiliar, as it borrows from various different styles including power lifting and crossfit, meaning gym regulars are often replaced with new and difficult variations to incorporate more explosive speed or power into the move. Functional fitness is certainly a key ingredient, with a large importance placed upon your core strength.
This circuit style workout is broken down into three different phases, consisting of:
Stage 1: Cardio warm up.
Stage 2: A 15 minute HIIT workout, again using cardiovascular equipment.
Stage 3: A full body resistance circuit lasting roughly 45 minutes.
Stage one is a simple warm up which lasts 10 minutes. You should choose an exercise which prepares you for your chosen exercises in the later stages, such as a rowing machine. Keep the intensity at a moderate level here so as not to peak to early in the session. Once you have completed a 10 minute warm up, it's on to phase two. This stage involves a much more difficult cardiovascular test - high intensity interval training.
The basis of HIIT is to keep switching between a moderate intensity and a very high intensity for a short burst of time. Phase two lasts for 15 minutes using this protocol and ideally you should wait until you are fully recovered from your last burst before you attempt the next burst. That makes the moderate intensity period different for everybody, but try to aim for 2 minutes and a 30 second burst.
High intensity interval training is well known for it's explosive and exhausting capabilities, so by the time you reach the final stage you may already be struggling. Take a few minutes to recover before you begin round three, which consists of six exercises in a circuit. Ensure you pick a good variety here, so as to achieve a full body focus:
Hanging Leg raise x 20
Bench dips x 20 reps.
Rope pull x 5 reps - attach a weight to a rope and pull it towards you from 25 feet away.
Rope climb x 5
Skipping with high knees x 30 seconds
Wide-grip pull-ups x 15 reps
Deadlift x 20
Front squat x 20 reps - using a barbell.
Dumbbell bench press x 20 reps - on a flat bench.
Barbell Clean And Press x 20
Kettlebell Swing x 20 reps - using a kettlebell or a weight.
You form your own individual circuit either by choosing six of the moves above or inserting your own into any of the six available slots. As long as the focus is on a full body workout, the exercises can be changed as much as you like. Push through all six exercises before taking a 3-4 minute rest period and then going through it again. Aim to get through about 5 rounds in total.
While the Jason Statham workout certainly offers the ability to tone you up and build lean muscle, it's primary skill is it's ability to improve your strength and physical performance. Each exercise should be performed with intensity and force, maintaining an explosive but strict form.
