Leonardo DiCaprio Workout And Diet: For Departed & Gangs Of New York

Leonardo DiCaprio Workout Wednesday Routine = Abs

Here’s the Wednesday Abs Focus weightlifting routine. It starts with the Treadmill Cardio/Abs Routine. Leonardo DiCaprio’s trainer, Gregory Joujon-Roche uses a heart rate monitor to make sure he’s at the correct heart rate levels.

1. Do 20 minutes on Treadmill (@2% Incline)
2. After 10 minutes, make sure you’re heart rate is @75%
3. After 20 minutes, stop and do these three core abs exercises: (Ab Circuit)
4. Accordion Crunches
5. Side Bridges
6. Supermans
7. 2 minutes treadmill @ 85% heart rate (160 BPM)
8. Repeat Ab Circuit: (4 sets: Abs/2min/Abs/2min/Abs/2min/Abs/5min)
9. Do 2 minute sprint between each ab circuit
10. After 4th set of abs, end with run on treadmill for 5 minutes @87%

For the abs, Gregory Joujon-Roche wants you to go to failure. Instead of having a certain number of reps in mind, just do sets of each circuit until you feel “you’ve killed it.”

1. Reverse Crunches
2. Jackknifes
3. Plank Extensions
4. Elbow Side Planks
5. V-Ups
6. Bicycle Crunches

Counting reps isn’t what’s important. Instead, Leonardo DiCaprio’s trainer Gregory Joujon-Roche wants you to reach a breakthrough moment:

In the breakthrough moment, you teeter on the edge of failure, because you’re not sure that you can perform even one more rep. Your muscles say you can’t. Your mind says you can. Who wins?
