Get shredded like the young fitness influencer
Fitness influencer Alex Eubank has gained some serious popularity over the last few years at such a young age. Alex can often be seen hanging out with other influencers, but is mainly known for his insanely shredded physique, as he stays at pretty low body fat year round and holds onto a good amount of muscle mass, and this has led to many people questioning if Alex Eubank is natural or not. Despite all of that, for being in his early 20s, he looks incredible. That being said, we are going to take a look at Alex Eubank’s workout routine.
Let’s dive in.
Who is Alex Eubank
Alex Eubank, also known as “Andrew Eubanks” as this is what another popular influencer by the name of Sam Sulek refers to him as, is a very well-known individual in the fitness industry.

Alex Eubank Workout
Now that we have established who Alex Eubank is, let’s take a look at his workout routine that he uses to stay lean but maintain muscle mass.
Monday: Leg Day
There’s no better way to start the week than with some hardcore leg exercises. The first exercise that Alex starts with is leg extensions, and he uses these primarily to warm up the knees before moving on to hack squats, a heavier compound exercise and favorite of bodybuilder Tom Platz. Being that the hack squat is a great compound to go heavy on, this is the main exercise he will do. After that, the workout routine will move on to two leg curl variations, a leg press, and some seated calf raises.
Alex uses a progressive overload scheme to continue adding volume and weight during his training sessions, typically after a week or two.
| Exercise | Sets and Reps |
| Leg Extension | 3 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Hack Squat | 3 sets x 8-10 reps |
| Lying Leg Curl | 3 sets x 10-12 reps |
| Leg Press | 3 sets x 10-12 reps |
| Seated or Standing Leg Curl | 3 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Seated Calf Raise | 3 sets x 10-15 reps |
Tuesday: Chest and Triceps
The second workout of the week for Alex Eubank is chest and triceps, and he prefers to begin his chest workout routine with a pre-exhaust, such as a flye movement. Pre-exhausting a muscle group means that you would train an isolation exercise before a compound exercise, as it not only gets the blood flowing but also helps to fatigue a specific muscle group, leading to a better mind-muscle connection.
Alex starts with the flat dumbbell fly before moving on to the incline dumbbell bench press. After incline Hammer Strength machine presses and cable crossovers or pec deck, Alex performs three sets of bodyweight dips to failure (something the 7x Mr. Olympia champion Arnold Schwarzenegger used to do).
| Exercise | Sets and Reps |
| Flat Dumbbell Fly | 3 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Incline Dumbbell Bench Press | 3 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Incline Hammer Strength Press | 3 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Cable Crossover or Pec Deck | 3 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Dips | 3 sets x to failure |
Thursday: Back and Biceps
As you can see, we skipped covering a workout on Wednesday, and this is because Alex uses that day to rest and recover. On Thursday, Alex is back in the gym for back and biceps, and he starts the workout routine with the classic barbell deadlift, a great strength and mass builder. He performs deadlifts primarily for strength, utilizing low reps.
After the deadlifts, Alex does an underhand grip pulldown (a Jay Cutler favorite) followed by a machine pullover. You don’t see many people doing machine pullovers, however they are great for really stretching the lats. Moving on from that, Alex does two rowing variations before finishing the workout with two biceps movements.
| Exercise | Sets and Reps |
| Deadlift | 3 sets x 1-5 reps |
| Underhand Grip Pulldown | 3 sets x 8-12 reps |
| Machine Pullover | 3 sets x 10-12 reps |
| Seated Cable Row | 3 sets x 8-10 reps |
| Wide Grip Chest Supported Row | 3 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Machine Incline Curl | 3 sets x 8-12 reps |
| Machine Preacher Curl | 3 sets x 10-15 reps |
Friday: Shoulders
Alex has used to combine shoulders and arms in one workout, but now he splits the two up, with his dedicated shoulder day being on Friday. Alex Eubank begins his shoulder workout with heavy seated Smith Machine shoulder presses, a great compound movement.
After that he performs some lateral raises to target the side delt, but Alex prefers to do them seated as he feels it allows him to get a better stretch and contraction and eliminates swinging and poor form. Following the seated lateral raises are alternating front raises, which is trailed by two exercises for the rear delts.
| Exercise | Sets and Reps |
| Seated Smith Machine Shoulder Press | 4 sets x 8-10 reps |
| Seated Lateral Raise | 4 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Standing Dumbbell Alternating Front Raise | 4 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Incline Prone Dumbbell Rear Delt Raise | 4 sets x 10-15 reps |
| Cable Face Pull | 4 sets x 10-15 reps |
Saturday: Arms and Abs
Alex Eubank’s workout routine calls for the last workout of the week to be arms and abs. Alex uses a lot of supersets during this day, hitting the exercises back to back. An antagonist muscle is a muscle that opposes the action of another muscle, for example push and pull. The biceps and triceps are antagonistic muscles, making them great muscles for doing supersets to save time and really get the blood pumping.
Alex Eubank’s arm workout begins with dumbbell overhead triceps extensions, which is then followed by a seated dumbbell curl. After that Alex moves on to machine preacher curls supersetted with lying triceps extensions. Wrapping up the arm workout, Alex performs two triceps exercises, combining close grip bench presses with a rope tricep press down. Hanging leg raises, and machine sit-ups are then the ab exercises of choice.
| Exercise | Sets x Reps |
| Dumbbell Overhead Triceps Extension | 3 sets x 8-12 reps |
| Seated Dumbbell Curl | 3 sets x 8-12 reps |
| Machine Preacher Curl | 3 sets x 8-12 reps |
| Lying Triceps Extension | 3 sets x 8-12 reps |
| Close Grip Bench Press | 3 sets x 8-12 reps |
| Rope Triceps Pressdown | 3 sets x 8-12 reps |
| Hanging Leg Raise | 3 sets x 10-20 reps |
| Machine Sit up | 3 sets x 10-20 reps |
