Cam Gigandet looked incredibly conditioned in Never Back Down. He sports the kind of look many women are really attracted to.
Many people consider Cam Gigandet to have that refined and defined look which many people want to achieve because he has that slim look without looking bulky in clothes.
Thus Cam Gigandet’s workout program was focused more on the concept of concentrating more time on losing fat compared to building muscles. This is because his goal was to look lean and slim rather than appear bulky muscle-wise. This type of body build is commonly seen in professional athletes like basketball players, swimmers, surfers, soccer players, or tennis players among others. Their muscles are defined but not that big. Sometimes, people are discouraged to start weight training because they feel that it will take ages before they can reap the benefits of gaining muscle mass. But that’s not always true if you know what you’re doing.
Although I think Cam’s workout isn’t bad it isn’t anywhere near as effective as Visual Impact. Top that off with the fact that the principles he based his workout on are outdated and you can tell why I’d rather steer someone to Visual Impact vs the workout below. Anyway, here’s his workout routine:
• Monday. Three sets of push-ups with 25 repetitions each. This is followed by three sets of the nautilus press beginning with 45 repetitions and increasing by 10 repetitions per set. The use of nautilus incline press follows starting from 55 repetitions on the first set, 65 repetitions on the second set, and 70 repetitions on the third set. Three sets on the pec deck machine closes out the day beginning with 40 repetitions with an increment of 5 repetitions per set.
• Tuesday. Five repetitions of pull-ups done for three sets starts the resistance training. This is followed by three sets of seated rows starting at 75 repetitions with increments of 5 repetitions per set. Then comes Lat pull downs with sets of 85, 90, and 95 repetitions followed by three sets of t-bar rows beginning with 50 repetitions and increasing by 5 repetitions per set.
• Wednesday. On this day the concentration is on the shoulders. It begins with three sets of the Arnold press st 35 repetitions per set. 3 sets of Laterals consisting of 15 repetitions per set is done next. Another three sets of front raises is done with 10 repetitions for every set.
• Thursday. Biceps and triceps are the focus of this day. He starts with the nautilus curl with 20 repetitions on the first set, 25 repetitions on the second set, and 30 repetitions on the third set. Continuing with EZ bar cable curls by doing three sets of this exercise starting with 30 repetitions and increasing by 5 repetitions per set. Three sets of hammer curls with 15, 20, and 25 repetitions per set is then done. The day’s routine ends with three sets of push downs beginning with 50 repetitions and increasing by 5 repetitions per set.
• Friday is mostly treadmill for 45 minutes with approximately 65 to 75 percent of MHR. This was done to increase stamina and help cut fat.
• Saturdays and Sundays were generally dedicated for rest and did not really incorporate that much exercise.
So there you go. That’s what Cam Gigandet did to get in shape for Never Back Down. In all honesty I think most of the strength training is garbage and I think that the main reason her looked the way he did was because he was as lean as he was. You’d have much more luck building muscle and getting lean with a program like Visual Impact but I had to show you what he does or I would have been misleading with what I named the website.
