Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors look the part for their roles in Creed III.
Michael B. Jordan is back on the big screen as Adonis Creed in Creed III as the Rocky franchise continues. This time, he will face Damian Anderson, played by Jonathan Majors, in what is expected to be an incredible fight. To prepare for their roles, both Jordan and Majors shared some of the intense workout routines used to get shredded and ready for their Hollywood roles in CREED III.
Jordan will double as the star of the film and a director. He has shared different physique updates on social media, showing off his progress in the gym. In a recent video posted by Men’s Health, Jordan showed off some of his favorite workouts.
Michael B. Jordan Workout Plan
- Fasted Cardio Warmup: 20 laps swimming

- Push Press: 3 sets of 12
- Medicine Ball Slams: 3 sets of 8-10
- Battle Ropes: Intervals of 30-60 seconds
The workout consists of a warmup followed by exercises to hit back, shoulders, and abs. For Jordan, he makes sure to hit shoulders in order to build muscle where it is important for the role.
“I have a broad back, so doing the overhead dumbbell press and shoulder presses are always a lot of fun for me. Gives you those boulder shoulders that Adonis is known for.”
