Chris Hemsworth Workout Routine – Get A Ripped, Thor Like Chest!

When he’s not busy rocking red carpets, or saving the world from imminent doom by conjuring up lightening and wielding his might hammer as Thor in Marvel’s uber-popular box office smash hit The Avenger’s, Australian born actor Chris Hemsworth likes to spend his free time smashing weights in the gym.

Aside from being one of Hollywood’s A-list heartthrobs, Hemsworth is known for having one of the most ripped physiques on the silver screen, sporting a superhero body that even Thor, the mighty Prince of Asgard, would envy.

So how did Hemsworth add twenty pounds of lean muscle for his role, and sculpt the chiseled chest of a Norse god?

By getting back to basics with a good old fashioned chest workout that’s guaranteed to pack on size whether you’re a battled tested gym veteran, or a novice lifter looking to build a superhero body of your own.

Training

When you’re trying to specialize a body part, and turn a weakness into a strength in the shortest amount of time, there are three keys to success:

1. Slow and steady wins the race – Controlling the eccentric (lowering) portion of the movement is the best way to target fast twitch type-2b muscle fibers, which have the greatest potential for growth. Utilizing a 3-4 second controlled eccentric portion of each rep increases time under tension, and helps maximize muscle type-2b muscle fiber recruitment.

2. Stimulate don’t annihilate – Contrary to popular belief, when it comes to building muscle, more is not always better. Too much muscle damage impairs recovery, which slows the growth process. Stick to a solid program and only progress to heavier weights when you’re able to complete your targeted reps in each working set.

3. Frequency is your friend – Training a muscle with a higher frequency leads to more opportunities for growth. This means having a structured training plan is vitally important. If you’re looking to turn your puny pecs into god-like slabs of chiseled granite, training them every four days for six to eight weeks can be an optimal way to maximize both training frequency and muscle growth.

Instead champions are made behind closed doors, forged in the iron fire of excruciating reps, molded by poundage’s that would crush a mere mortal, with intricate details meticulously carved in by hour after hour of sweat soaked, semi-starved cardio that takes drives forces an athlete to push themselves beyond the finite boundaries of limitations – a place where only the Fearless reside.
At last year’s NPC Nationals Middleweight Champion David Paterik’s years of blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice finally paid off in the form of an IFBB Pro card. Recently I had a chance to catch up with David in the midst of preparing for his IFBB Pro debut, and you can catch all of the details right here, in this Fearless Motivation exclusive interview.

Q.) I’d like to start by taking a step back and talking about life before bodybuilding. Before you began training, did have any sort of athletic background, or experience living a healthy lifestyle?

A.)Believe it or not, I grew up rock climbing and mountain climbing. My father is a well-known Mountaineer in the Pacific Northwest and has traveled the world climbing peaks, frozen waterfalls and giant rock faces. He’s 57 now and in crazy good shape. Naturally, he brought me up doing it and I’ve always had some “Spidey” – like characteristics to climb well – some great memories there. I also played baseball and basketball growing up, and for 5’7″ I could jump higher than just about all my teammates, and just for the record, I still can!. I’ve always been a naturally gifted athlete. My folks handed down some pretty awesome genetics and fed us kids well. My sister is a ripped muscular beast, and used to be plastered all over the fitness magazines back in ’03 -’05. So, you could say it runs in the family.

Q.) Like many of us, you caught the bodybuilding bug by getting swept up into old muscle magazines. Who do you remember being the first bodybuilder that really inspired you to begin training?

A.) I distinctly remember as a young teen in disbelief when flipping through MD and seeing black and white Per Bernal photos of Kevin Levrone. I almost did not think it was real. But it wasn’t until over a decade later that I actually started training.

Q.) What made you decided it was time to enter into the competitive side of the sport?

A.) I started fitness modeling around 2004, traveling all over the states shooting for top name fitness photographers, and started getting published. I always handled my own prep and came in great “photo shoot shape.” It wasn’t until 2012 that many were hounding me to compete as they believed I would be very competitive. So, without too much thought, I entered the Washington State Open in 2012 as a Light Heavyweight and took second place to a very seasoned competitor, Dominick Semenza. I thought, hey, if I could come this close, I could win. So I trained my ass off for the coveted 2013 Emerald Cup and with the advice of my then coach, Brandon Lyons, I squeezed into the middle weight class and won. It was an amazing overall stage and I shared it with my best friend, Super Heavyweight Casey Bunce. Shortly after, I went on to compete at the 2013 USA’s in Vegas and took 10th place as a Middleweight. It wasn’t so much a blow to my ego, but a fire to my motivation. I went back to the drawing board, hopped on board with Coach Matt Porter, and competed at the 2014 NPC Nationals in Miami where I dominated a very strong and stacked middle weight class with a perfect score and won my IFBB pro card.

Q.) Let’s flash forward to when you made your first appearance on the National radar, back at the 2013 Emerald Cup. You entered into that show as a relatively unknown commodity, but after winning your class suddenly your name began to generate a lot of buzz in the bodybuilding world. Take us back to that show and talk about what you remember feeling after you walked offstage having won your class at one of the biggest amateur contests in the country.

A.) The Ecup, as I like to put it, is definitely a high profile regional/state show that has had many incredible competitors who have later turned pro. Seattle has some badass bodybuilders! I think after I won my class, I proved it to a lot of people, (my family mostly) that I could make a career out of this. My dad was in the crowd and it was his first show attendance. He told me that after seeing me win, he finally could understand what I was doing and began to really pay attention to my bodybuilding career. It opened his eyes. As far as the bodybuilding community, I definitely made a name in the northwest. It was my first win and I was feeling amazing. The trophy is still displayed in my home.

Q.) A few weeks later you packed up and headed south to take on some of the best amateur athletes in the sport at the USA Championships, where you placed top ten in your very first National level contest. Looking back, what would you say was the biggest lesson you learned during that 2013 contest season?

A.) Biggest lesson learned was, “I’M AMONGST THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY AND I HAD BETTER STEP UP MY GAME.”

Q.) The following year, in 2014, we saw you return to the stage at NPC Nationals, bigger, harder, and arguably the most conditioned athlete in the entire show. What changes did you make during the offseason to spur such dramatic improvements?

A.) Honestly, I just trained with more intensity and had a will to win. I had a taste of glory before and I wanted it again. My training had so much purpose and through it, I just grew and got much better in a little over a year.

Q.) Your offseason work paid off in spades because not only did you take the stage dramatically improved, but you also dominated a very tough Middleweight class on your way to winning your IFBB Pro card. What was the first thought that ran through your head after hearing your name announced as the winner?

A.) The real shock was at pre-judging when I got first callouts. They put 6 of us through all the poses once, put me in the middle, posed us a second time and then told me and one other, Tank Moore, to exit the stage. I didn’t know what to think! I turned to the expeditor and he said, “Dude! You’re done! Go back stage!” Tank and I shared an unforgettable moment as we knew we were in the top 2 spots and soon to be IFBB pros. The next day, I was awarded 1st place at the night show and I can honestly say, it changed my life man.

Q.) Now that you’ve managed to reach the summit of one of the sport’s biggest proverbial mountains, how to you keep yourself motivated to continue pushing to reach new heights?

A.) PRO DEBUT MAN!!! The big leagues! More motivated than ever. I have lots of work to do before I step on the pro stage in 2016. And I love the fact I have something worth working for. That and having a crazy hot wife and precious daughter is also great motivation to kill it and provide daily. We also have a boy on the way due in late November 2015.

Q.) What type of music do you listen during training?

A.)I’m a fan of music in general so quite a wide variety from hard core metal, (Avenged Sevenfold, Five Finger Death Punch) to some classic Van Halen and Boston. Little to no hip hop but if I do, it’s 90’s hip hop….THE REAL HIP HOP.

Q.) Is there anyone you’d like to thank for helping you reach this point in your career? When can we expect to see you take the stage next?

A.) I’d like to graciously thank my sponsors Inner Armour Sports Nutrition, Icon Meals, War Hammer Gym Gear and FitMark Bags. They have believed in me and supported so incredibly. My amazing wife for sticking by my side and seeing my vision and all the awesome fans I have made and met through the years. Love you guys. You can expect me to make my pro debut at the Vancouver Pro in 2016. And Corey, I’d like to thank you for all the support you’ve shown as well brother. Thank you.

Q.) Where can your fans find you on social media?

St. Francis Assisi once said “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”

Once David made the decision to start taking the necessary steps toward achieving his dream, it was only a matter of time before the lines of possibility began to blur and he crossed over into uncharted territory that few have ever truly dared to venture in to. And now that he’s already impossibility into a liar once, it doesn’t seem so far-fetched that we might see him do it again on the Mr. Olympia stage sometime in the very near future.

But even in a world where looking extraordinary comes as par for the course, there exists a handful of athletes who have stood head and shoulders above the rest, earning a well-deserved space on bodybuilding’s Mount Rushmore.

To quote the legendary French general Napoleon Bonaparte “Greatness be nothing unless it be lasting”. And in the long and storied history of bodybuilding there are six athletes whose greatness is so truly transcendent that it has left a lasting legacy that will extend far beyond their days of competition.

Check out this exclusive Fearless Motivation list featuring the greatest bodybuilders of all-time:

Ronnie Coleman

The discussion about who’s the greatest bodybuilder of all time begins and ends with one Ronald Dean Coleman. Coleman’s resume’ will reside in bodybuilding folklore as one of the most staggering displays of absolute dominance that we’ll ever see. During his career King Ronnie rang up a record tying eight consecutive Mr. Olympia titles, a 2007 Arnold Classic title, and twenty-six pro victories – a record that, in all likelihood, will stand the test of time.  And as if his records alone weren’t enough to solidify his greatness, his legacy certainly is. Ronnie Coleman single handedly redefined muscularity in bodybuilding by raising the bar for excellence at the 2003 Mr. Olympia contest, where a 287 pound Coleman stepped onstage and shattered the limits of possibility by bringing a look to the stage that many historians have called the greatest of all time. And even now in retirement, over eight years removed from the stage, King Ronnie still remains the most popular champion the sport has ever seen.

Jay Cutler

We have a tendency in sports to use the number of championships as an athlete has won as metric for measuring greatness. And with four Mr. Olympia’s and three Arnold Classic trophies lining his trophy case, Jay Cutler is without a doubt one of the dominant forces that the sport has ever seen. Had Jay not competed during the same era as the greatest bodybuilder to ever walk the planet – Ronnie Coleman – the argument could be made that Cutler’s reign of dominance would’ve been greater than anything we’d ever witnessed in bodybuilding. And while his legacy on the stage is one that bought him a first class ticket to the bodybuilding hall of fame, his work away from the sport as a global ambassador that helped spread the message of physical culture across the globe as bodybuilding’s first multimedia mogul was the driving force behind the explosion of the sport’s popularity throughout the early 2000’s.

Dorian Yates

The era of modern bodybuilding as we know it today – an era of jaw dropping muscularity and razor sharp conditioning – was officially ushered in by the fiercest competitor to ever take the stage, 6x Mr. Olympia champion Dorian Yates. “The Shadow” didn’t just raise the standard bar, he punted it into the stratosphere, doing what every transcendent champion in sports has ever done by forcing the game to adapt and evolve around his greatness. In addition his dominance on the stage, Dorian’s Blood and Guts training style, which was adapted from the work of legendary muscle mad scientist Arthur Jones, revolutionized the way athletes trained in the gym, and left behind a legacy that has extended to every corner of the globe, far beyond the bodybuilding stage.

Phil Heath

By the time his career is all said and done, current reigning and defending 4x Mr. Olympia Phil Heath could retire as the greatest champion the sport has ever seen. At just thirty-five years old, Heath is already well on his way, and if he successfully defends his title again this year, he’ll join a very exclusive club in bodybuilding alongside Lee Haney, Ronnie Coleman, and Dorian Yates as the only athletes in the sport’s history to capture five or more Olympia titles. Despite his moniker, “The Gift” hasn’t been handed anything in bodybuilding. And his journey to the top of the sport has seen him defeat two former Mr. Olympia title holders, and square off against an athlete in Kai Greene who might just be the best athlete in the history of the sport to never win its top honor. Through his first four years as champion Phil hasn’t displayed any chinks in the armor, or shown any signs of slowing down, seemingly rewriting the records books with each passing year. And if to breeze through unscathed, we could see him collect his record breaking 9^th Sandow Trophy before the ripe of old of forty.

Is Phil Heath the Greatest Bodybuilder Of All Time?

Lee Haney

Following the retirement of Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1980, the sport o bodybuilding found itself in search of the next great star who would take the torch and lead the next generation of athletes. And they didn’t have to wait very long because in 1984 a twenty-five year old South Carolina native by the name of Lee Haney took hold of the title and didn’t let go until 1991 when he retired from the sport with a record eight consecutive victories. Haney’s combination of size, shape, and symmetry remain unparalleled even to this day, leaving many classical bodybuilding fans to dub Haney’s physique as the apex of greatness. During his reign has champion Haney’s face became synonymous with bodybuilding worldwide, appearing on magazine covers, television shows, and even gaining presidential recognition for his efforts when former United States president Bill Clinton appointed him chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Long before his days as the Governator, and before he became an international movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the face of bodybuilding during the height of its popularity in America. In his prime “The Austrian Oak” was nearly unbeatable, winning shows across both Europe and the United States, including an incredible seven Mr. Olympia titles. And while his contributions to the competitive side of the sport have been well documented, it was the overwhelming force of his personality, not to mention his statuesque physique, which helped spark a fitness craze, and the subsequent boom in the rise of the fitness industry, during the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. Even to this day, almost forty years removed from his last competition, Arnold still remains the most revered figure in all of bodybuilding.

Arnold – Is He The Greatest?

Conclusion

The sport of bodybuilding has produced some of the most incredible, awe-inspiring physiques that the world has ever seen. Yet even in in the IFBB pro league, a place that is quite literally a league of extraordinary gentleman, the names Coleman, Cutler, Yates, Heath, Haney, and Schwarzenegger rise above the crowd as true pillars of greatness that will stand the test of time.

The road to the Mecca in female bodybuilding is paved with lost hopes and shattered dreams of all those who came before that weren’t able to endure the struggle, sacrifice, or the relentless commitment it takes to keep plodding ahead when every fiber of your being is screaming at you to pull back and settle for the nauseating comfort of mediocrity. 

Just eleven weeks from now IFBB Pro Melissa Lesage will set foot on a pro stage for the second time in her young career as she attempts to take another step toward reaching her dream, proving all of her doubters wrong in the process. For Melissa the road to the Mecca certainly hasn’t been easy, nor has it been forgiving thus far, but for this rising star of the Women’s Physique division climbing the mountain, and overcoming adversity, are all in a day’s work. Melissa’s physique would put many male bodybuilders to shame, her size and definition is a testament to the hard work she has put in.

Recently I had a chance to catch up with Melissa in the midst of her contest prep, and you can read it all right here, in this Fearless Motivation exclusive interview.

Q.) Before we dive into your recent IFBB Pro debut, let’s take a step back and take a look at how you were first introduced to bodybuilding. Prior to the time you began training, how familiar were you with the competitive side of the sport?

A.) Honestly, prior to getting into bodybuilding I hadn’t ever really even put thought into the competitive side of the sport, therefore I can’t even say I knew a thing about it!

Q.) How had you been training before you decided to enter your first competition?

A.) I was actually training as a competitive triathlete before I decided to enter my first Figure competition. I was the cardio queen, along with doing some light weight training. It was difficult for me to stay out of the weight room, which is why I knew triathlon wasn’t the sport for me.

Q.) Early on, who would you say were some of the athletes that inspired you?

A.) First and foremost, Dana Linn Bailey was my inspiration to train my ass off and to just keep pushing heavier weight! Jamie Pinder inspired me to transition from Figure to Physique after watching her transformation from Bikini to Physique in a year. I knew I could do it. I had the work ethic, I just needed the right coaching. So I contacted her and was referred to Shelby Starnes, who I hired back in October 2012, and now I’m still under his guidance to this day.

Q.) What keeps you motivated every day?

“My biggest motivator each and every day is my drive for success. I refuse to settle and am always looking for ways to better myself in and out of the gym. Success in all aspects of life is not given it is earned through consistency and hard work.”

Q.) Back in 2012 is when you made your first blip on the National radar after entering into the USA Championships. However, unlike your previous competitions where you had a great deal of success, things didn’t quite go according to plan, and you quickly found yourself out of contention. Tell us a bit about your emotions following the show. What would you say was the greatest lesson learned from that experience?

A.) Heading into a national show after only competing locally in Arizona probably wasn’t the best idea, but at the time I was still fairly new to the sport and didn’t know any better. Standing on stage in a class of forty or more competitors and being in the very last call out was definitely hard to swallow. Looking back at pictures I laugh at myself for even thinking I looked ready to step on a National stag. I didn’t diet correctly, I didn’t carb up enough, and it was all just a complete mess!

The greatest lesson I learned from that experience was to never rush the process. Competing at a high level takes time and consistency to achieve the results needed to WOW the judges. After getting under the guidance of Shelby I made some significant improvements to my Physique and felt one hundred more confident stepping on the USA stage in July 2014 when I earned my IFBB Pro card.

Q.) Let’s talk about those 2014 USA Championships. Given the tremendous success that you had early on in your career, why choose to make the jump up into the Physique division?

A.) I love to lift heavy and I love to do cardio. Being muscular and super lean isn’t the look the judges are looking for from Figure competitors. Plus I hate wearing heels, and felt so uncomfortable being on stage in them. Transitioning to Physique allowed me to lift as heavy as I wanted, and present my conditioned physique feeling comfortable with my stage presence.

Q.) Competing at the National level is an arduous task in and of itself. However, considering that your last experience took such a toll on you both mentally and physically, did you feel any additional pressure to come out and rid yourself of the demons from years past?

A.) To be totally honest I felt no pressure at all! I felt mentally and physically prepared the second time around knowing I had expert coaching, (and Shelby was there to dial me in perfectly), and even just looking at myself in the mirror I knew I was ready. I saw tremendous changes from the year I took off competing, and was beyond excited to present a completely transformed package.

Q.)  Describe what you were feeling after walking off stage and realizing that you’d just won your IFBB pro card.

A.) I was in totally shock and disbelief. I couldn’t even believe it was happening. It took probably a good month or so for it to really sink in. Shelby and other teammates had told me after pre-judging that I had won it, the IFBB Pro card was mine, but even then I was like “ No way I can’t believe this…I’ll believe it when it happens”. Then, sure enough, finals came around and I was the last one standing. I still get the goosebumps thinking about it!

Q.) Let’s flash ahead to a few weeks ago when you stepped onstage at the Chicago Pro show to make your IFBB Pro debut. Although you brought the best look of your career to the stage, showing off some hard earned new muscle along with razor sharp conditioning, you didn’t place quite as high as you may have liked. What was it like competing as a pro for the first time? Were you at all disappointed with the outcome?

A.) I wasn’t at all disappointed with the outcome. I knew I was the little fish dipping into the big pond. It’s going to take time to work my way up the ranks, but I’m willing to give it all I’ve got! I will say the IFBB is like one big family; everyone was so friendly and supportive backstage. I knew a few girls from social media that I finally got to meet in person and it was like we had been friends for years. Going to that from the NPC amateur league was a complete 360 – The NPC was full of catty nonsense.

Q.) At the moment you’re a few weeks away from making your second appearance on a pro stage, which is set to take place at the Phoenix Europa. Now that you’ve already gotten your feet wet as a pro, are you approaching this contest with a different mindset?

A.) I know what to expect this time around, the competition is fierce, but that’s what I love about the pro league. My mindset is always going to be being there to win. I mean come on, seriously, those who say they are there for the experience – Really?  Yea, I busted my ass during this prep, but I don’t really care about my placing – that is the biggest lie ever!

So really my mindset hasn’t changed at all. I know I’ve given 100%, and to be in the top 5 would be a dream come true!

Q.) Following the Phoenix Europa, what’s next for Melissa Lesage?

A.) The outcome of the Phoenix Europa will determine what’s next, but at the moment I’m leaning toward entering the New York Pro next May.

Q.) What advice would you give to the young competitor out there who’s grinding day in and day out, trying to become the next Melissa Lesage.

A.) Never settle. Work harder because someone out there is working harder than you! Trust the process. It’s a never ending one that requires consistency and dedication.  Set goals so big they’d take a lifetime to achieve!

Q.) For those who would like to find out more about you, where can they find you on social media?

In the world of bodybuilding success is never given, nor is it earned. Instead it’s taken by those who have an unbreakable spirit, and indomitable will, and a burning desire deep inside their soul to push themselves harder, farther, and longer than any mere mortal could ever dare to fathom.

For athletes like Melissa – those who simply refuse to allow anyone to stand between them and their dream – success isn’t optional. It’s mandatory.

Every superhero has an arch nemesis.
And in the bodybuilding world if we cast reigning and defending four-time Mr. Olympia Phil Heath in the role of Superman, then the dubious role of Lex Luther falls to the man who has been the primary threat to the crown since he ascended to the throne, none other than “The Predator” Kai Greene. And while the deeply insightful, and often philosophical, Greene can hardly be categorized as a “villain”, the divide between the two athletes, their camps, and their fan bases certainly has a bit of a Good vs. Evil narrative to it.

On one side you have King Phil, whose meteoric rise to the top of the sport couldn’t have happened more perfectly if it was scripted. Back in 2003 a raw but talented Phil Heath took to the bodybuilding stage for the first time at the NPC Northern Colorado, where none other than future four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler just so happened to be the evening’s featured guest poser. Right then and there Cutler famously anointed Phil as a future Mr. Olympia – and twelve years, one pro card, and four Sandow trophies later not only has Jay’s prediction come to fruition, but Phil has evolved to become the global face of the sport, and firmly cemented himself as bodybuilding’s version Superman, while everyone else in the sport tugs on his cape and tries to desperately to catch up.

On the other side of the coin we have Kai Greene, whose journey to the pinnacle of the sport has taken him down a long, dark road that played a complex role in developing his Predator persona. Raised on the streets of Brooklyn, Kai was forced to fight, scratch, and claw his way out of a place where only the Fearless survive – using the gym and bodybuilding as outlets to provide small sparks of light in a world that was otherwise filled with darkness. Unlike his counterpart who seemed to have the proverbial stars align and seas part for him to make a direct sprint to the throne, the world placed boulder after boulder in Kai’s path at each and every turn. But instead of breaking his spirit and causing him to give up, Kai channeled his rage, using each rock as a stepping stone on his own personal path to greatness.

Kai v Phil – TIME FOR WAR – Bodybuilding Motivation Video

A few weeks from now these two mighty advisories will find themselves in an all too familiar position as they square off for the fifth straight year on the Olympia stage.

Only this time the stakes will be higher than they’ve ever been before, with both men standing at a fork in the road, their legacies determined by which path they take. With a win Phil will find himself in exclusive company as one of only four athletes in the history of bodybuilding to have claimed five Olympia titles. And perhaps more importantly he becomes the author of his own destiny, continuing his quest to rewrite the records books by becoming the greatest champion the sport has ever seen.

For Kai, this year’s showdown against his arch nemesis might just be the defining chapter in his legacy. Should he managed to do the impossible and pack a Kryptonite punch powerful enough to knock King Phil from his throne he’ll launch himself into the record books as one of the sacred few to ever hold the title of Mr. Olympia. However, if he comes up short and finds himself relegated to the bridesmaid position once again his window of opportunity will officially slam shut, and he will join the ranks of an infamous club in bodybuilding of great athletes who ended their careers one Sandow Trophy short immortality.

Both are champion athletes, and both deserve huge respect for where they are in their sport, but with such a divide in the 2 camps, the question is; whose side are you on?
