Method Man Shows Impressive Strength With a 500Lb Deadlift

Method Man shows impressive strength in latest training.

Legendary hip-hop recording artist Method Man recently showcased his impressive strength in the gym with a 500lbs deadlift. The rap legend has been hard at work in the gym and performing like he’s in his prime.

Looking to stay in top condition at 51, Method Man has been pushing himself hard in the gym. His training consists of the classics: the bench press, the squat, and the deadlift. But the legendary artist also adds traditional bodybuilding movements to his return such as bicep curls, tricep extensions, hamstring curls, and much more.

Having stated in the past that he would love a role in a Marvel movie, Method Man seems to be getting ready for that very day. Rather than being a Kumail Nanjani, getting the call and then getting in the gym, Method Man is choosing to stay ready so he doesn’t have to get ready. As a result the hip hop artist and actor is already in pretty impressive shape, not only for a 51 year old but in general.

His recent training shows a man possessed with improving his overall athleticism. Method Man is tackling all the traditional exercises and is looking pretty strong in doing so.

Deadlift

The legendary Wu-Tang Clan member seems to be in love with deadlifting. Of all the exercises out there it seems to be the one he likes to post the most. His dedication to the lift seems to be paying off. He has continued to chip away at the deadlift, hoping to grow stronger in the movement. It appears that he’s done just that.

Perhaps his most impressive lift in his recent training is the deadlift. Method Man pulled a solid 500lbs during a recent session.

If Method Man continues to train with this kind of tenacity then there’s no doubts that the rap legend will be getting a call from Marvel any day now.

What do you think of Method Man and his strength in his recent training?
