How does one even write a routine for this much of a badass SuperHuman?
I guess only research will tell…
If you guys haven’t already known this: Frank Grillo has always been absolutely shredded.
I wanted to do some SuperVILLAINS this week, so that’s why I’m featuring Grillo for the men and Delevingne for the ladies.
And, if you didn’t already know, Frank Grillo was an awesome portrayal of Crossbones in Captain America: Civil War!
But, I’m sure you could have figured that out from the title of the article, right…?
Frank Grillo Stats:
Height: 5’10
Weight: (approximate) 172 lbs.
Age: 51 years old
HOLY CRAP BATMAN – this man is over 50 years old and is lookin’ better than me!
I had a similar reaction to Paul Rudd’s transformation (at 45 years old for Ant-Man), but we also have some other pretty stud-ly 50+ year old SuperHumans featured in the Workout Database as well.
We’ve seen Brad Pitt, and Wesley Snipes who are both over 50, and even Jason Statham and Hugh Jackman who are right there about to hit their mark!
Grillo stands right around the average height, standing right there with guys like Matt Damon and Anthony Mackie, below Dwayne Johnson, Batista, Affleck and Momoa, and above Efron, Harington and Holland!

Frank Grillo Diet and Nutrition
In an interview with GQ Grillo says:
“I stick to a paleo-centric diet—wild-caught fish, organic chicken, no grains, rice, or oats. As a wrestler, I was always cutting weight, so I was never really a foodie. My one indulgence is wine,”
Ah ha, that sounds familiar.
The Paleo Diet is something we utilize in the Nutrition Pillars, and something we even like to put together with intermittent fasting, which I have actually used to drop over 50 pounds!
Simple and easy enough for us to understand!
I always like when a diet is nice and straight forward like that.
We see a lot of celebs opt for a sustainable approach like this.
That’s why our Academy Nutrition Classes (Monks, Minimalists, SuperHumans, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Greek Gods, Samurais, & Eat Fat, Lose Fat) revolve around helping you find the specific diet that is right FOR YOU.
Of course, there are a lot of reasons to HAVE the strict guidelines.
We’ve seen a lot of celebs opt for specific restrictions.
For example: Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hopper, and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting(something I use daily as well), Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
And, that’s just to name a few celebs from each, by the way.
You can check out our Nutrition Pillars for more information and articles on all of the above and more.

Frank Grillo Workout Routine Research
I want to immediately start with a video Grillo did with GQ that really shows off exactly what he does, and even has another line about his dieting, which he describes in a bit of detail as well:
For the purpose of this routine, we’re going to base it around an awesome “travel” type workout, which will allow us to fully utilize the shadow-boxing/calisthenic workout that Grillo touched upon in his video.
I think this is even more relevant seeing as how I just published the article titled: How to get better at Pull-Ups, Pushups, Dips, Squats and Calisthenics!
Grillo also adds in his interview with GQ:
“There’s no better workout than boxing,” Frank said. “Short, fast bursts of energy, constant acceleration. You’re burning deep, deep fat cells and using everything you store. There’s never an excuse to miss a workout. I play an MMA coach on [DirecTV’s] Kingdom, so I work in a gym! And even if I’m not in the gym, I can do a 45-minute routine with dumbbells, a jump rope, and shadowboxing that burns a ton of calories.”
So, keep this in mind, as he also adds in dumbbells when doing a quick workout with shadowboxing and jump rope to get a max calorie burn!
