Too Big For Thor: Switch to Kettlebells
After eight weeks of muscle building, the Chris Hemsworth workout had worked too well. He was too big for his costumes when it came time for filming. Although his director had told him to get as big as he could, Chris Hemsworth was told he was now too big.
In order to reduce his size, he tapped personal trainer Mike Knight of Art of Strength in order to get his body down to size for filming Thor. Mike Knight is known for his Kettlebell workouts, which are known to get you cut while maintaining muscle tone.
Kettlebell Workouts
During his workouts, Chris Hemsworth got his heart rate up to 190 beats per minute, while under the supervision of trainer Mike Knight.

Can’t believe that the surfer dude got too big for his role. Gonna have to try Kettlebell workouts. Though my gym doesn’t have any kettlebells! :(
Chris Hemsworth workout is awesome. So many kettlebells. I’m trying to do these at the gym, its fun having everyone look at you.
So how many reps and sets should I do?
Byron, Chris Hemsworth never revealed how many sets/reps he did for his workout. So, tailor your reps to your fitness goals. Also, you can take a page from the Hugh Jackman Workout, and do the workout based on your goals:
Training for Strength: 2-6 reps for 4-6 sets. Rest 3-5 min.
Training for Muscle Growth: 8-12 reps for 3-5 sets. Rest 1 min.
Training for Fat Loss: 8-12 reps for 2-4 sets. Rest 0 min.
I suggest starting with 8-12 reps and resting a minute between sets. This is just to perfect your form, since form is more important than anything. Good Luck!
so he doesnt do shoulders?
