• For four months he had to train twice a day, six days a week.
• Morning workouts were primarily for cardio, while evening workouts focused on conventional strength training.
• Jason gave John a strong foundation of strength by incorporating lots of squats, presses, pulls and rows, finishing any strength/hypertrophy workout with metabolic finishers like HIIT Tabata circuits or sled tugs.
• In terms of food, John lived mainly on the chicken, salad and water. However, his trainer taught him how to time his daily carb intake and explained the importance of a meal high in carbs and protein immediately after an intense workout to replenish tired muscles.
• After playing a seal and training like one,John has outgrown his skinny fat frame and is quite disciplined about training. His newfound knowledge of serious training also helped develop a closer relationship with Chris Pratt, who had undergone a physical transformation himself. The two actors came together on Memorial Day (May 29, 2017) to undertake the #Murphchallenge.
