The Australian actor and model is going to star in the next Hollywood superhero movie, Thor. Marvel is bringing this biggest franchisee to the screen. Epics describe Thor as the Norse God of Thunder who had divine powers and a mighty hammer. Chris Hemsworth lifted a lot of weight at the gym before lifting the hammer of Thor. Let us look at the workout routine and diet plan of Chris for gaining that extra 20 pounds of muscle mass he has in the movie.

Chris Hemsworth Workout Routine

Before getting the role of Thor, Chris did not do many exercises and workouts. He did activities like combat sport, rugby drills, boxing, hitting waves in orange country etc. He was trained by the personal trainer, Steve Walsh. Steve was a professional rugby player before. The training sessions ensured that Chris was agile, speedy and fit, but there were no serious muscle building regimens.

After he landed in the role of Thor, Chris realized that he must gain some more bulk in the form of muscles. For gaining these extra kilos of muscle mass, Chris decided to follow the hypertrophy-oriented workout. This workout has been designed by the well known celebrity trainer Duffy Graver. Graver has assisted Hollywood stars like Adam Sandler, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in their body sculpting processes before.

Along with the workouts, the former Australian soap star, Chris also followed a strict diet regimen to get a body which could resemble a superhero. The task was daunting and challenging but Chris succeeded. Let’s see how!
