Burt Reynolds workout
Burt Reynolds built his movie muscles working out at the famous Vince's Gym on Ventura Blvd, in Studio City, California.
Vince Gironda said about Burt Reynolds "He can talk and joke with anyone. He is an avid sports fan. Burt just loves to exchange facts about sports and athletes."
Burt did not just get his body from choosing his parents correctly, he worked hard for it.
The Burt Reynolds non-stop one-arm workout is split into five different movements. It's a non-stop workout because you're working the left side and then while your left side is busy recovering you work the right side, and so on. The five different and very specific movements, you need a set of dumbbells.
1. D/B curls (right arm only) 1 X 25 reps then swap arms, no rest.
2. D/B Military Press (right arm only) 1 X 25 reps then swap arms, no rest.
3. D/B Triceps kickbacks (right arm only) 1 X 25 reps then swap, no rest.
4. D/B Rowing (right arm only) 1 X 25 reps then swap, no rest.
5. D/B Bench-press (right arm only) 1 X 25 reps then swap, no rest.
The first set on 25 or 20 reps is a warmup, the workout is 5 circuits of the above 5 movements done for one set on each arm.
It needs to be added that the intensity is increased a lot more when you lift your one leg slightly off the floor when doing these one-arm movements. For the D/B bench-press you would lift both straight legs slightly off the floor.
One would use much heavier dumbbells for a dumbbell rowing movement than a triceps kickback movement, so ideally this workout is done in a gym. The decrease in reps for the second circuit means an increase in the dumbbell size lifted. The second set should be 12-15 reps, third set 10-12 reps, fourth set, 8-10 reps and the final set your pushing to the max, looking to reach failure at around 6 or 7 reps.
