The Australian actor Chris Hemsworth has shined on the silver screen in many popular movies. However, he is best known for portraying the role of an Asgardian God in Marvel movies. The character name, Thor, based on Norse legend, has become synonymous with Hemsworth’s persona. His action scenes in the movie franchise pack a hard punch for cinema lovers.

The God of Thunder garners attention for his extremely shredded physique and beautiful face. His muscular shoulders and intense smile have made fans worship the powerful God in reel and real life. Earlier, the 39-year-old actor teased fans with an upper-body workout on social media. The bodybuilding community could not keep cool and smothered the ‘Extraction’ actor with love and respect.

Taking to Instagram, the ‘Men in Black’ actor posted a carousel of photographs of himself working out at the Centr gym. Hemsworth looked like the poster boy for a fitness magazine with his incredibly conditioned biceps, lean upper body, and chiseled face. The photographs showed Chris performing ball slams, push-ups bent over rows, lateral raises, and tricep pushdowns. Each snap reminded fans that Thor won the genetic lottery and reached a godly level of fitness through his hard work and discipline.

Furthermore, Chris has detailed the upper body workout in his Instagram post. The MCU hero added, “Have a go at this upper body session!! Hitting back, chest, shoulders, and triceps @centrfit. He further detailed the entire set, including the warmup, “Ball slams – 10, Rest 30 seconds – 4 sets”. If one is not tired after 40 ball slams, they can pull up the courage to do a superset combining, “Bent over rows (left & right) – 10 reps, Push-ups – 15 reps, Rest 60 seconds – 4 sets total.” If one thinks that the ordeal ends here, they are wrong. The athletic actor includes a Triset with “Renegade row (left & right) – 8 reps, Lateral raise – 8 reps, Tricep push down – 10 reps.”

The almost 40-year-old actor had to downsize for his role in the Extraction 2 movie released in June. The Aussie actor’s trainer, Luke Zocchi, made the actor do a lot of shoulder exercises. Moreover, Zocchi is school friends with the superhero, so he knows Hemsworth’s body well. The trainer further added, “Even when Chris gets lean, he still looks pretty big because you just see how much definition there is in his arms and how much muscle he naturally holds.” Further netizens flocked to the comments section to appreciate Hemsworth’s impressive physique.
