Brad Pitt Workout Friday Routine = Chest & Shoulders
- 1 hour cardio on Treadmill (@2% Incline) with Abs Intervals
- 1-2 hours weightlifting: Chest / Shoulders Focus
- 1-2 hours sword-training
Here’s the Brad Pitt Treadmill/Abs Friday Routine. Brad Pitt’s trainer, Gregory Joujon-Roche suggests using a heart monitor to make sure you’re at the correct heart rate levels:
- Do 20 minutes on Treadmill (@2% Incline)
- After 10 minutes, make sure your heart rate is @75%
- After 20 minutes, stop and do these three core abs exercises: (Ab Circuit)
- Accordion Crunches
- Side Bridges
- Supermans
- 2 minutes treadmill @ 85% heart rate (160 BPM)
- Repeat Ab Circuit (x3 more times)
- Do 2 minute sprint between each ab circuit
- After 4th set of abs, end with run on treadmill for 5 minutes @87%
After doing cardio/abs, they would have specific body parts they would work on. Here’s the Friday Chest / Shoulders routine. Instead of having a certain number of reps in mind, just do sets of each circuit until you feel “you’ve killed it.”
- Dive Bombers
- Dumbbell Bench Press
- Advanced Chest Flys
- Cable Flys
- Military Press
- Shoulder Workout Plan: Lateral Flys
- Front Raises
- Barrel Flys
- Rep-Out Push-Ups (as many as you can)
Brad Pitt used the afternoons for sword training. To get ready to fight like Achilles, he worked with Tim Weske. His fitness trainer, Greg Joujon-Roche, watched him train one day, and joked that sword training is an in-itself great workout:
Screw traditional workouts. If you want to get in shape, just do Sword Training!
