Andrew Garfield Spiderman Workout

Andrew Garfield Spiderman Workout

One of the biggest movies planned for next summer is the Spiderman reboot The Amazing Spiderman.

Taking on the role this time is Andrew Garfield, who hit the gym hard before suiting up as Spiderman.

This young actor didn’t have a problem leaning out, but he did have to bulk up and gain strength. His workout was a combination of Pilates, plyometrics, and weight training to get in top shape for what’s sure to be an action-packed movie.

So here’s a workout based on the goals of Garfield’s training: strength, power, and size. Let’s get to it!

The New Spiderman Workout

Plyometrics is essentially a series of high impact, full body workouts (also known as jump training). You can definitely consider signing up for a plyometric class, but for this workout we’re going to substitute plyometrics with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Like plyometrics, HIIT requires the use of multiple muscle groups and is high intensity.

Pilates focuses on your core, so we’re going to be sure to have a day focused solely on core strengthening and training.

This workout is sure to get you pumped and feeling in shape in no time. Plan on dedicating 5 days a week to this workout plan, and at least 45 minutes per workout. Start each workout with 20 minutes of cardio to work on your endurance and get your muscles warmed up. On strength training days, aim for 3-4 sets of each workout at 10-12 reps.
