Chris Hemsworth is known for his incredible arms playing the role of Thor in the Avengers movies.
Always recognised as the dashing hero, it is all but confirmed that Hemsworth will play the villain in Mad Max: Fury Road prequel, Furiosa, making his presence even more daunting!
Best known for playing Thor, a large part of the superhero’s appeal are his muscles, particularly his huge arms. Thor’s arms are built not just for strength and size, but also for functionality to master the gruelling fight scenes required of a Marvel superhero.

The key exercises for this workout vary from a mix of big movements mainly using an individual’s bodyweight with extra load added, and isolation exercises that easily increases the volume.
Exercises like weighted chin-ups and weighted dips and endless variations of curls and extensions starting from the most taxing to the least (even though it may not feel like it by the end of the workout).
Each superset increases in reps covering different mechanisms of hypertrophy. The heavy rep ranges (6 reps) come first, while the individual has not been fatigued.
Heavy reps are used to stimulate an insulin-like growth factor known as ‘mechano growth factor’ a driving force to stimulate muscle growth can only occur through mechanical load.
As the reps get higher (8-10 reps) the exercises become more isolated. The barbell curl and barbell skull crushers are quick and easy to set up with secure positioning.
Then reps increase higher (12-15 reps) covering more metabolic stress on this superset. Lastly, there is a ‘finisher’.
Hemsworth is well known for doing intense workouts, but equally they are workouts that are also goal focused.
So the finisher can be one of two choices – two basic exercises with one end goal. 100 tricep push-ups for every break = 10 dumbbell hammer curls or ‘run the rack’ with dumbbell curls (read the explanation below).
