Charlie Hunnam King Arthur Workout

“I just ate more and did press-ups like a motherfucker” – Charlie Hunnam on his King Arthur workout.

However, he’s got to be a little bit disappointed. Not because of the reviews, nor the box office returns (100M loss!) but the fact that after using progressive resistance and high volume to get up to “1,000 push ups a day” director Guy Ritchie went and put 3 ‘muscle shots’ of him in the movie! THREE! For that, Ritchie, drop and give us 10!

Charlie Hunnam is no stranger to working out, several fitness cover mag shoots indicate he’s a calisthenics fan! He’s been in shape since his early Sons Of Anarchy days through to ‘Pacific Rim’ and now ‘King Arthur’. So, can you do Pull Ups and Dips everyday and get results? Well, an all bodyweight only workout is exactly what Charlie Hunnam did and added 25-30 lbs of muscle in just 2 months!

Pull Ups and Dips Only

Not only did Charlie Hunnam do Pull Ups and Dips only but he also did just Pull Ups and Dips everyday, and the volume was high! Charlie Hunnam describes his workouts as ‘the oldskool stuff’.

To get in shape like a KING you’re going to need to be doing a whole bunch of:

  • Pull Ups/Chin Ups
  • Dips
  • Push Ups
  • Squats

All unweighted so you’re going to need to increase the reps, sets and volume and/or decrease your rest over time to keep making KING SIZE gains.

“I have the eye of the tiger, and I have the sensibility to be formidable. But I don’t have that god-given, raw, physical form. So I need to put on weight and be fit and be as strong as I can, which is why I go and smash heavy weights”.

“It’s a necessity for me to stay in shape. It’s one of the elements of my day to day therapy. I like to stay fit and eat healthy. For this, I had just done a project that I’ve lost a lot of weight for and J.C. wanted me to be as formidable as I could be. So, I just got back to the routine of eating very, very heavily and protein-rich and lifting heavy weights”.

“When you train with heavy weights every day, the physical strength that you get from that gives you an emotional and a mental strength. There’s a deep connection between psychology and physicality”.
