We have seen plenty of Frank Grillo by now, and I’m glad he’s back for more.
Grillo is Crossbones in The MCU, and he also plays a big part in The Purge movies as well as his shows Kingdom, Fight World, or even his newest movie Boss Level.
In his most recent video for Men’s Health he jumped on to give an update on his routine and talks about some of his current training at Fortune Boxing Gym in Los Angeles, California!
Grillo says:
“I don’t do biceps, I don’t do triceps. I do do core, heavy exercise on the chest, squats, deadlifts, shoulders,”
He also talks about how the typical bodybuilding style training to hit what he refers to as “the vanity muscles” is a hinderance to his training when it comes to fighting and mixed martial arts.
Grillo then moves in from his shadow boxing and talks about his heavy exercise in the workout (which is programmed as shrugs below, but he’ll talk about how that swaps around):
So normally we’d do a couple warm up sets and then 5 sets of our heavy exercise. It could be chest, bench press; it could be squats, or deadlifts.
He then continues to go into his training for Boss Level a bit more:
We would box at 6 am every morning and then I would come at night and we would do strength and conditioning. Probably trained about 4 hours a day…And, again, in your 50s you think you should be slowing down — I probably got in the best shape of my life at 52 years old. Which is the message I try to tell people all the time. People much younger than me: there’s no rules. So don’t think as you get older you should get slower. You actually could increase the amount you can workout and feel great.
I LOVE this, especially being that we have so many Superhumans in our Academy and SHJ Community over 50 years old who are KILLING it every single day.
If you guys love you some Frank Grillo training you can also check out:
I didn’t program in the split routine (morning boxing/cardio) because that’s not what Grillo shows in the video, so if you’re looking to do that you’ll have to base it on the above quote to split it up on your own!
Get ready for the volume.
