For the Wolverine movie Hugh Jackman worked with Steve Ramsbottom. There were 3 phases to this workout routine: Mass Building, Strength Training, Maintenance. Phase 1 was focused on building mass by changing the speed of each lift, a 3 second count up and then a 1 second count down or really slow 4 second count up and 4 second count down. Phase 2 focused on building strength by lifting heavy weights, without a second count. The first two phases lasted between 6 to 12 weeks, for one to two hours a day, five days a week. During Phase 3 he lifted weights 1 day and filled the other days with yoga, pilates, running, and stretching. Phase 3 was started just before filming.

Hugh Jackman’s diet was six meals a day made up of vegetables and lean proteins. He consumed 1000 calories over his normal intake during training to provide enough calories to build and maintain muscle mass.

If you want to be the strongest man then you will need to have the proper caloric intake and also work out like a super human mutant. Hugh Jackman’s workout routine is great for anyone wanting to add a couple extra pounds of muscle and will set you on your path to being the strongest man
