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.
