Jason Statham, one of the toughest guys seen on films, is known for his fitness and ripped physique. Ever since he rose to fame in Hollywood with movies such as Lock, StockandTwo Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Crank, The Italian Job, The Transporter trilogy, and Death Race, the English actor has had to reassess his point of view on being fit and healthy.
Earlier he kept active through the characters he played in the films and practiced some MMA, but before the release of Crank 2, he adopted an explosive training program working out 6 days each week. Incredibly, Statham managed to lose 20lbs of weight in just 6 weeks thanks to his immense work ethic. Here is a glimpse at Statham’s complete workout plan.
Jason Statham Workout Routine
The man behind Statham’s lean and chiseled body is an Ex-Navy SEAL, Logan Hood, who started training him from 2008 while filming Death Race. The 49-year-old actor hits the gym 6 days a week, and his workout plan is continually altered. His training program is packed with high-intensity exercises that keep the heart rate up, while burn fat as well as tone muscles. The workout philosophy is designed to use alternative dynamic/static approach with explosive movements while holding the weights at locked out position.
