Hugh Jackman’s Diet

Hugh Jackman’s diet was six meals a day made up of lots of vegetables and lean proteins. He consumed 1000 calories over his normal intake during training.

Hugh Jackman’s Exercise

For The X-men series Hugh worked with Steve Ramsbottom. First phase was focused on building mass by changing the speed of each lift, 3 sec count up and then a 1 sec count down or really slow 4 sec count up and 4 count down. Second phase focused on strength by lifting really heavy weights, without the sec count. Each phase lasted from 6 to 12 weeks, for one to two hours, five days a week. When it was close to shooting time, he lifted weights 1 day and filled the other days with yoga, pilates, running, and stretching. He even did bootcamp training in there too. For the full workout check out below.

Perform 12 reps (pick a weight so the 12th rep is hard); 3 seconds up and 3 seconds down.

  • Push-ups: Do immediately after chest press.Keep head in line with the spine and support lower back by pulling belly button into the spine. Can be done from knees or toes. Perform 25 reps (take a break if you have to, but finish 25). Rest 1 minute and repeat Dumbbell Press and Push-ups for 3 sets.
  • Lat Pull Downs (modular lat pulldown machine required): With palms facing away from the body, grip hands on the bend of the bar. Pull bar down below chin, keeping shoulder blades pulled down and together. Perform 12 reps; 3 seconds down and 3 seconds up.
