Hugh Jackman has kept his physique in top shape over the years to prepare for different roles.
Actor Hugh Jackman is no stranger to preparing his physique for current roles. Most recently, it was to take part in the fourth Deadpool film, titled Deadpool & Wolverine. Following the release of the film, Jackman has continued to keep up with his fitness and showed off his latest deadlift workout.
Jackman, who became known for his role in X-Men, has appeared in many other hits as well. He has starred in movies, such as Deadpool and The Greatest Showman, that have completely solidified his status on the big screen. He has spoken candidly about his training when becoming Wolverine and shared that he does not use steroids.
In his recent workout, Jackman crushes trap-bar deadlifts as his workout of choice.
Is Hugh Jackman Natural?
Hugh Jackman has been open about his status and claims that he is all natural. In September, Greg Doucette discussed this topic during an interview. He referenced an interview Hugh Jackman did with Jimmy Fallon at the time. He shared that he has eaten 6,000 calories to put on the muscle necessary. While he was packing in calories, Jackman shared that it was clean calories, specifically mentioning tilapia and beans.
“So here’s the thing, he’s lying about the 6,000 calories and he’s lying about the steroids. He’s neither eating 6,000 calories not is this man natural.”
How To Do A Trap Bar Deadlift
The starting position begins with you standing in the middle of the trap bar. With a flat back and tight core, bend your knees and grab the handles with your arms extended. There will be a slight pull on your hamstrings before you begin to drive. Pull the bar upwards and extend your hips and knees while squeezing your glutes. Keep your back in the same neutral position and reverse back down to the starting position.
With the trap bar deadlift, the weight is centered within the body as opposed to in front of it which creates a great balanced position to keep strain off of your lower back. It also requires slightly less range of motion since it is higher off the ground also reducing the risk of injury. The trap bar deadlift is great for beginners to build strength quickly and execute solid form as well as for more established athletes looking for a safer way to get the benefits of a deadlift without the added risk of a more conventional one.
