10 WWE Wrestlers' Gym Routines You Need To Try
4. Randy Orton
The Apex Predator has been referred to as a prototype for the perfect pro wrestler and a lot of that has to do with his chiseled, ripped physique.
As time has gone on, Randy Orton has continually improved his look. Starting out with a bigger, more full body structure, Randy ascended to the top of WWE in record time, becoming the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history. The once injury plagued Orton has worked tirelessly to slim down and become more versatile in the ring as he has gotten older and wiser.
Here is a workout penned by the man himself in 2011 from his official website:
Day 1: Chest/ Shoulders/ Triceps
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Rest
Day 4: Back/ Biceps
Day 5: Rest
I do 3 different exercises for each body part and 5 different leg exercises.
Every 3 weeks I switch up exercises, so the muscle doesn't plateau.
Each exercise I do 3-5 sets. First set is a warm up, last set I go to failure. Sets 2-4 I try for 12-15 repetitions.
Favorite exercises by body part:
Chest: Incline dumbbell bench press; Dips Cable cross overs; Flat dumbbell bench press; Decline push ups; Flat bench fliesBack: Pull-ups; Pulldowns; Seated rows; T-bar Rows; Deadlifts (rep-range: 6-10); One armed rowsShoulders: Lateral raises, front, side, and rear; Dumbbell press; Upright rows; Standing barbell push-pressBiceps: Standing dumbbell curls; Preacher curls; Hammer curls; E-Z curl bar; One armed concentration curlsTriceps: Skull crushers; Close grip bench; Pushdowns; Overhead extensions; Donkey kicksLegs: Free Squats (no weight, 100 reps, push of heel); Leg extensions; Leg curls; Lunges; Straight leg DeadliftsEvery other without core training or abdominals/lower back.
