We’ve been through a ton of research for Ben Affleck’s workout and diet in our original article, but now we’re back with a bit of an update.
For a portion of Affleck’s Batman training he was using programming that creator Magnus Lygdback refers to as The Magnus Method.
Magnus hopped on a video with Men’s Health to show off a routine Affleck was utilizing, and says we can utilize it up to two times a week!
We’ve been doing more and more of these updates with specific daily training sessions and other awesome information to add to our Workout Database now that we have over 1,000 workouts there – and this one is another great one.
Magnus mixes in a lot of fun movements that even involve some kicks and advanced techniques, but also sticks to some of the basic compounds with some squats and deadlifts.
Magnus actually tells us:
I’m going to show you guys the workout I did with Ben Affleck for Justice League. Our goals to build Ben as Batman were to build leg strength, stability – you know Batman is carrying around this heavy suit all day on set – so we needed Ben to have the support he needed to carry that suit. At the same time, build some size, he’s a big dude, and obviously there’s an element of martial arts in the movie that we wanted to capture.
From there he gets right into the workout routine, starting with front squats.
I’ll break down each of the movements with the full workout below, but one thing Magnus makes consistent reference to with these compounds is the fact that they’re also working our engaged core.
By the end of your workout you’re going to be hitting your core and abs all the while hitting a full body strength training workout with a flair of mixed martial arts.
Get ready.
