On July 25, 2023, Hemsworth posted a comprehensive workout on his Instagram page that seemingly attacks every aspect of the upper body (his back, chest, shoulders, and triceps). From weighted medicine ball slams to arm training, Hemsworth filled in almost every niche and offered his fans a similar path to achieving his spectacular upper body fitness.

Here’s an overview of Hemsworth’s complete upper body workout. There is a detailed warm-up, a superset, and a tri-set all involved with the clear design of pushing one’s physical limitations in the gym in a healthy fashion.

Chris Hemsworth Upper Body Workout | July 2023

Warm-up

• Medicine ball slam — 4 x 10 (Rest 30 seconds)

Superset

• Dumbbell row — 4 x 10 per arm
• Push-up — 4 x 15 (Rest 60 seconds before repeating the first exercise)

Tri-set

• Renegade row — 4 x 8 per arm
• Lateral raise — 4 x 8
• Triceps pushdown — 4 x 10 (Rest 60 seconds before repeating the first exercise)

This is far from the first instance Hemsworth has shared his workout trade secrets. As the proprietor of the fitness application Centr, Hemsworth seems to make it a consistent point to stay true to that brand by offering training tidbits that demonstrate his knowledge and his own commitment.

For example, in July 2022, Hemsworth shared a chest-centric workout in advance of the release of Thor: Love and Thunder. He would follow that be sharing a minimal equipment workout on a naval ship in mid-August 2022. That same month, Hemsworth was once again seen on the naval ship issuing a five-round, 50-rep, full-body workout challenge.

Hemsworth has undoubtedly built a reputation for being one of the fittest people in Hollywood. With this latest workout in the account, he continues to spread the gospel of his gym secrets and how others can follow in his footsteps if they so choose.

On August 25, 2022, Hemsworth shared a 50-rep full-body workout featuring a combination of burpees, squats, lunges, biceps curls, and shoulder presses. The actor appeared to perform the respective exercises by a body of water, which may have again been on the deck of a Navy ship from the recent record-breaking blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick.

Editor’s Note: This article covers a workout published by Hemsworth’s fitness application Centr. Breaking Muscle is not affiliated with or sponsored by Centr, nor is beholden to any form of public endorsement.

Here’s a complete rundown of Hemsworth’s 50-rep full-body workout:

Chris Hemsworth’s 50-Rep Full-Body Workout

Grab one pair of dumbbells and run through the sequence once, rest for 60 seconds, and complete four more times for five total rounds.

• Dumbbell burpee curl and press— 10 reps
• Squat curl and press — 10 reps
• Alternating reverse lunge and curl — 10 reps
• Biceps curl — 10 reps
• Standing shoulder press — 10 reps

According to the caption of Hemsworth’s post, the workout apparently becomes more manageable as one shifts from exercise to exercise. However, and this seems like an imperative aspect, he stresses not to rest until all 50 total reps are finished. That could indicate the full-body routine emphasizes both strength and conditioning. 

In encouragement, Hemsworth’s Thor: Love and Thunder co-star, Chris Pratt, appeared to endorse the workout in the comment section of Hemsworth’s Instagram post. 

“Thanks for the inspiration!” Pratt wrote. “Just did it. Great quick workout.”

Pratt also noted that he used “big rocks” he found on the beach instead of dumbbells before telling Hemsworth that he continues to “inspire” with his fitness work.

This full-body workout isn’t the first related to Hemsworth’s Centr application that the actor has shared recently. 

For example, in early July 2022, Hemsworth walked through an intense chest routine predicated on volume in a relatively short amount of time. Then, in mid-August, the actor broke down a functional “minimal equipment” workout that may have taken place in the same naval location as his 50-rep full-body demonstration. A general perusal of Hemsworth’s Instagram will show he makes it a point to periodically post different workouts.

Based on the increasing frequency of the promotion of Centr, Hemsworth might become even more visible in the fitness space very soon. Given that the actor initially started the application as a way to promote healthy habits in the gym and the kitchen, it seems he’s starting to reach his precise and noble goal.

Here’s a rundown of Hemsworth’s bodyweight workout on the navy ship:

Chris Hemsworth’s “Minimal Equipment” Workout

• Squats: 1 x 5 
• Bear crawl: Five meters
• Sit-through: 1 x 10 
• Push-ups: 1 x 10 
• Mountain climber: 1 x 10 on each side 
• Static lunge: 1 x 5 on each leg
• Ice skater lunge: 1 x 5 on each side
• Rest for 60 seconds
• 10 rounds in total

According to Hemsworth, this flexible routine requires limited equipment and can be performed pretty much anywhere. The 38-year-old will share similar workouts in the coming weeks to promote his workout app, Centr.

The Australian actor began the ambitious endeavor to share health advice with people who want to improve their general fitness and nutrition. Per his social media, Centr “has everything you need for your fitness journey.”

This minimal equipment workout is another small sample of Hemsworth’s ongoing project in the growing fitness space.

Hemsworth’s Profile

Hemsworth has an eclectic performance background but is most famous for his role as the shredded Thor in the MCU. Many of his roles feature some necessary physical exertion, so he must keep up his training throughout the calendar year.

After the recent release of Thor: Love and Thunder in July 2022, Hemsworth does not have any other films scheduled for the rest of the year. However, according to IMDB, some of his future projects in 2023 and 2024 will probably keep him in shape.

For example, there’s the high-octane action film Extraction 2 and Furiosa — a prequel in the explosive Mad Max series. Both pending assignments likely mean the active Tinseltown performer won’t lapse in his top-notch fitness soon.

Hemsworth is most famous for his part as Thor, but he has starred in several action films throughout his career. Some of them — including a remake of Red Dawn and Netflix’s recent Extraction — have necessitated that the actor maintains his strength and fitness as he moves from project to project.

This specific chest workout is part Hemsworth showing what it takes to look shredded on the silver screen and part promotion for his fitness application, Centr. In between his acting work, the 38-year-old Hemsworth started the app as a way to share advice on how other people can take care of their fitness in the gym and the kitchen. He also says he uses the app to help him streamline his workout process for his roles.

Hemsworth’s Intensity

Hemsworth doesn’t waste any time diving into the session at full steam ahead. It’s apparent that this routine will feature a lot of intensity.

“We’re about to roll into a heavy chest workout, lots of yelling, lots of screaming,” Hemsworth says. “I don’t care where you are.  Whether you’re at home, on a bus, on a train, or on a plane, I want to hear you yelling! So move it, get involved!”

Hemsworth’s Chest Workout

Hemsworth performed four movements one after the other for four total rounds. This large grouping of exercise is known as a giant set, and it’s a known way to pack a lot of volume (16 sets in this case) into a short amount of time.

The primary and only advice Hemsworth provides for this routine, aside from short clips of demonstrations, is to take a one-minute rest between each round for recovery. It seems Hemsworth may have taken his words to heart as the actor operates at a fast, energetic pace in the footage.

• Incline Chest Press: 4 x 12
• Seated Chest Press: 4 x 12
• Cable Flyes: 4 x 12
• Wide-Arm Push-up: 4 x 10

The gym isn’t the only place Hemsworth went hard for his latest portrayal of Thor. According to Men’s Health, Hemsworth’s trainer Luke Zocchi said the actor ate up to 10 meals a day during filming in 2021 to build enough muscle mass for the role. Given the sample size of Hemsworth’s past work, it’s likely that dedication and diligence paid off.

Hemsworth will reveal his chest and the latest iteration of his stacked build in Thor: Love and Thunder on July 8, 2022.
