Michael C Hall /Dexter Workout Routine Descriptions
In general, you want to do as many reps as you can of each set. Trainer Gregory Joujon-Roche wants you to find your breakout moments. “Breakout Moments” are when your body says you can’t do 1 more, but your mind knows you can, do 1 more. Finish as many sets as you can this way.
Instead of having a certain number of reps in mind, just do sets of each circuit until you feel “you’ve killed it.” Michael C Hall’s trainer, Greg Joujon-Roche, says that if you’re workout routine needs exact numbers, then use the following.
Directions:
- Do 3 sets of each exercise, 15 reps each time.
- Make sure to rest for 60 seconds between each set.
- Find a weight that allows you to complete at least 15 reps.
- Make sure that you use good form, and are fatigued at the 15th rep.
- If you find 15 reps easy, make sure to go up in weight next set.
- Remember to focus on safety throughout your workout.

The are no workouts for his back
Michael C Hall uses Thursday as his arms and back day. There are back exercises, like lat pulldowns and seated pulley rows, on that day (page 2).
Anybody know how long it took him to get into shape and what his calorie limit for everyday was?
I don’t have any specifics. They usually start training about 6 months prior to filming. During filming, Michael C Hall continues to work out with his trainer when he can. For calories, I suggest using My Fitness Pal.
