Hollywood stars are making a buzz on the internet with their physical transformation, and Ryan Reynolds is one of them. At 47 he is making a comeback as Wade Wilson in Deadpool 3 and boy, does he look jacked! Especially that well-toned chest. Reynolds’ trainer, Don Saladino, recently shared the secrets of his fitness journey.

See, Reynolds is not just relying on the traditional barbell bench press for his chest gains. Saladino has emphasized a unique approach they followed for Wade Wilson’s chiseled upper body.

Ryan Reynolds’s approach to staying in shape

In a recent interview, Saladino revealed the secret behind the superstar Ryan Reynold’s amazing physique. He talked about how they approached their routine this time. “The name of the game for Ryan is resiliency”, he said. The crucial part of their routine was Reynolds’ resilience and determination which helped him build his body. Saladino explained that to get strong and stay injury-free, he followed a smart workout plan.

While performing bench presses, he slows down, taking three seconds to lower the weight pushing up just as slowly. This helped him use less weight while still challenging his muscles and being kind to his joints. Reynolds also keeps his elbows at a 45-degree angle to protect his shoulders from injuries. This smart move helps him maintain his superhero physique. Mind you, Reynolds needs to be in supreme shape for Deadpool 3, since it will also be the character’s MCU debut and he will be sharing the screen with Hugh Jackman, who is known to get pretty buff for Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman’s dedication inspires others

Hugh Jackman is one of the fittest actors in the showbiz. At 54, he still literally looks like the Wolverine. A while ago he shared a post on his Instagram account with a caption talking about his intense workout session, “Hurts so good.” Even before that, he was seen biking alone in New York City.
