Australian actor Chris Hemsworth boasts one of the best builds of any in the industry and never fails to get a workout in no matter how busy his schedule is. The Marvel superstar took to the sidelines for a brief hiatus but did not stop training. In a recent post made on Instagram, Hemsworth got to check an item off his bucket list after getting to train with legendary bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger while in Brazil for a Netflix fan event.
Chris Hemsworth first gained attention for his work in the Australian television series Home and Away in 2004. After leaving the show in 2007, he made his way to Hollywood. He got the opportunity to feature in Star Trek (2009), which was a box-office hit.
In 2011, Hemsworth got tapped to play the role of the superhero Thor in a self-titled film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although he presented an athletic build, he worked hard in the gym to pack on the pounds for the role. He received major praise for his portrayal of the burly superhero and went on to reprise the role in other projects, including The Avengers. His depiction of the ‘God of Thunder’ skyrocketed his star power and established his status as a global superstar.
Hemsworth amped up his training regimen to depict a Black Ops mercenary in the 2020 film Extraction. He took advantage of bodyweight workouts to get ripped for the role and level up his functional performance. In Jul. 2022, Hemsworth left the fans stunned with a behind-the-scenes photo from the sets of Thor: Love and Thunder, the fourth and latest installment of the Thor franchise. He showed off his gigantic arm muscle development and impressive bicep detail.
The 39-year-old issued a series of no-equipment workouts to promote the launch of his fitness lifestyle app called Centrfit last year. He offered a brutal 50-rep full-body training routine made up of five exercises last August. Then, he gave fans a look into his staple core workout that he used to keep his abs ripped. He followed up with an insane 200-rep workout challenge consisting of five full-body exercises that could be performed anywhere.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is widely considered to be one of the best Men’s Open competitors of all time. He dominated the bodybuilding stages in the 1970s, racking up seven Mr. Olympia titles against the likes of three-time champ Sergio Oliva, Frank Zane, and Franco Columbu. His starring role in the docudrama Pumping Iron (1977) elevated his star power and took the sport to new heights.
After moving on from competition, Schwarzenegger used the same work ethic to find success in acting. He quickly amassed a massive following based on his lead roles in cult classic films like The Terminator (1984), Commando (1985), and Total Recall (1990). Along with his work on the silver screen, he also launched a fitness showcase named the Arnold Classic in 1989. His impact transcended bodybuilding and made him a household name.
Chris Hemsworth fulfills the dream of training with Arnold Schwarzenegger
In a recent Instagram post, Chris Hemsworth shared that he got the chance to fulfill a lifelong dream by working out together with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
“Ya never know who you’ll bump into at the gym! What a dream to train with the one and only @schwarzenegger,” wrote Hemsworth.
Schwarzenegger praised Hemsworth’s pump, triceps, and shoulder muscle development as fans chimed in with their reactions.
“Look at how pumped you are. The delts. The triceps,” wrote Schwarzenegger.
“Well played flex, right arm. Well played,” wrote one.
“The two “T”’s: Terminator and Thor! It’s a powerful duo!” Commented a user.
“I grew up watching the man on the right and my son is growing up watching,” wrote a user.
“The Austrian Oak still looks massive against the Australian Cherry,” commented another.
“That chest is just unbelievable!” Weighed in one.
Earlier this year, Chris Hemsworth was in the wild of Kenya when he devised a quick improvised training session to ensure he stays active. Next, he showed off his lean build while crushing a brutal circuit workout routine targeting core last month.
Hemsworth proved his dedication by performing a challenging full-body workout to combat jet lag after a 12-hour flight two weeks ago.
His latest update of training together with Schwarzenegger will be a treat for the fans who follow both entertainers.
