Personal trainer

Dr. Dre’s workout consists of both bodyweight and free weights. He said the combination of different types of training and exercise helped him get to the point where he looked like a monster in any shirt. Let’s mention the exercises that Dr. Dre performs in his physical training.

Squats – Dre said he loves squats because it activates all the muscles in his body and also because it’s particularly good for developing massive legs.

“I love great shaped legs”

– said Doctor Dre in one of his interviews given to Bodybuilding.com

Deadlift – Deadlift is the second exercise Dre does when he’s working his back .

It’s no wonder he’s back like a big mountain.

Pull- Ups – There is no better exercise for the upper body than the well-known pull -up .

In fact, Dre does weighted pull-ups because he’s an advanced trainee.

Weighted Dips – In addition to weighted pull-ups, Dr. Dre also does weighted dips.

With weighted dips, Dre targets your shoulders, triceps, and chest.

Biceps Curl – Dre regularly curls biceps, so his guns (arms) are always in good shape.

Bench Press – Andre is known for his large torso and the chest is one of the most developed parts of his body. This is because you’re doing a lot of bench press with fewer reps and more weight on the barbell.

Andre suggests that these exercises should be implemented in any muscle building program because it gives the best possible results. Reps and sets are up to you, but it’s recommended that each exercise be done for no longer than 4 sets of 6 to 12 reps.
