The Deadpool Workout shapes Ryan Reynolds into the superhero he plays in the Deadpool movie. The Deadpool workout focuses on 1-2 body parts a day. To get in superhero shape, Ryan Reynolds uses just about every piece of equipment in the gym. Reynolds uses split training to get bigger for his role as Deadpool.

Deadpool Workout Routine
The Deadpool workout routine focuses on one, big body part per day. There is often a secondary muscle group worked, as well. The weekly split is Chest on Monday, Legs on Tuesday, Cardio on Wednesday, Shoulders on Thursday and Back on Friday. Abs are done twice per week.
Chest & Biceps Workout
After a foam rolling warm up, Ryan Reynolds would do a Chest & Biceps workout. Biceps are always a part of Chest day. Sometimes Reynolds and his trainer would work biceps in again, later in the week.

Reynolds says they would sometimes add a superset to the chest workout. Instead of doing just Incline Chest Flys, they would put 2 exercises together. Reynolds would do Incline Chest Flys + Cable Flys (4 x 10-12 reps each) with no rest, until 1 set of each was done.
Legs & Abs Workout
After a Lateral Jumps and High-Knees warm up, Ryan Reynolds does a Legs & Abs workout. Reynolds would also add cardio at the end of each workout, on days where he had time.

Good idea. I’ll get right on it!

How do you come up with the workouts of all these actors? are you piecing together the things you think they would do based on what you’ve read?
I train bjj with a trainer at gym Jones, and that is definitely not caville’s program.
I put the workouts together based on any source material I find. Cavill has multiple programs. I found the Cavill program through marketing collaboration between the Army and Man of Steel. Many workout routines change over time, so I agree that what you’re doing now could be completely different.
How much time did Ryan Reynolds use on each work out, I only have 2 hours a day I can spend on a program. I have a regular job.
2 hours gives you enough time to do this workout completely, eat that sandwich thats leftover in your desk, screw your regular job secretary, and take a 20 minute runny dump in your closet sized bathroom.
