Daniel Craig workout exercises

Daniel Craig used the following range of exercises for his workout when preparing for the role of James Bond. Perform the following circuit 3-4 times a week.

Bicep Curls

Use either a straight barbell bar or twin dumb bells. Keep the elbows locked in a stationary position and perform the full range of motion, keeping as perfect form as possible

Tricep Dips

Use a weight support gym machine to assist if necessary, especially on later sets if you’re muscles are tiring. Perform the full dip range movement lowering the body till your arms are at 90 degree right angles. Keep your legs bent and your feet together or crossed as you perform each dip set and aid in supporting for the perfect form.

Clean and Press

Clean and press just like the athletes in the Olympics, use a barbell and ensure you are standing with your feet in a fimly rooted stance, grip the bar with the palms of your hands facing towards you. Perform the exercise in three distinct movements lifting to your thighs, flipping to your chest and the pushing clear above your head, keep good form as you perform the reverse movement back to the start.

Bench Press

Again with your barbell, lie on a Bench flat on your back, gripping the bar just over shoulder width apart above your chest, press the bar up at speed and then lower slowly back down to your chest, try to focus on 1 second for the upward movement and 3 on the way dow. This will help develop that explosive power with the force up and keep good form on the way down to build core strength.

Chin Ups

When gripping the chin up bar grip with the back of your hands facing towards you and palms facing forward. Keep good form by ensuring that you pull all the way up so that your chin is

higher than the bar then back to the start. Again like the tricep dips use a weight support gym machine to assist if necessary, especially on later sets if you’re muscles are tiring.

Squats

Keep a firm stance with feet shoulder width apart and facing forward, keeping your back straight squat so that the knees are at 90 degree right angles

Lateral Raises

Use two dumbbells simultaneously, bend your arms at 90 degree right angles in front with your palms facing each other and raise your arms outwards until your your arms are inline with your shoulders.  It is important to maintain good form throughout the full movement, ensure that you are using the correct weights to allow for completion of all reps.

Option 2: 2 eggs on wholegrain toast

Mid afternoon snack

Protein shake & a piece of fruit

Dinner

Option1: Chicken with green vegetables, broccoli is always a good choice
