The audience saw Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film in 2014. Before the movie hit the theatres, many people were skeptical if Pratt could pull off the superhero look. However, the Parks and Recreation actor surprised the skeptics with an insane physical transformation. Since then, the MCU actor has become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading men. Now 43, Pratt has developed a love for working out like his father-in-law Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Earlier the Hollywood superstar posted a bodybuilding workout video on Instagram. Besides looking ripped, the Guardians of the Galaxy star also had a motivational message for his 41 million followers.

Motivating everyone to reach a common goal

In his latest video, Katherine Schwarzenegger’s husband does dumbbell rows on a bench. Pratt’s ripped physique is apparent as he busts out multiple repetitions of the one-handed dumbbell rows with a massive 70 lbs dumbbell. When the set ends, the MCU actor drops the dumbbell with a thud. The phone that Pratt used to shoot the video shakes from the impact.
