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

Scroll to top

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. (Monday Workout)


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.
