Jason Momoa’s Conan the Barbarian Workout

Build barbarian muscle

To get a body like a barbarian, you need to lift more than a broadsword. But achieving Jason Momoa’s physique doesn’t require you to bivvy down in a corner of your local gym for months on end. The Conan the Barbarian star’s colossal physique was built through simple 30-minute, extremely-high-rep sessions with trainerEric Laciste.

“You put on a lot of weight very quickly – and you also burn a lot of fat,” says Momoa. If you really want to test yourself, try to gradually increase the load you use each day you perform the workout. “Pick a heavy weight and it will get you shredded and build a lot of muscle.” Fat slayed. Muscle plateaus conquered. You are content.

Instructions

Each workout should take 30 minutes. Pick three from the following five exercises and take a day's rest between each session. Try to use a weight around two thirds of the maximum load you can lift in one rep.

Squats
Shoulder Presses
Incline Bench Presses
Cable Crosses
Pull-Ups

Sets, reps and rest

With your first move, perform 7 reps. Then take a 7-second rest. Then perform another 7 reps. Take another 7-second rest. Continue in this way until you have completed 7 sets of 7 reps. Rest for 30 seconds. Then do a 6-rep round: 6 sets of 6 reps with 6-seconds rest between each set. Finish with a 5-rep round to bring the total rep count for that exercise to 110. Take a breather. Then do the whole thing again with two more exercises. Bloodcurdling war cries optional.
