Hugh Jackman Quotes

I have worked hard in the gym lifting heavy weights and doing a lot of exercises.

I did weightlifting and bodyweight-focused exercises such as chin-ups, pull-ups and press-ups with my personal trainer.

I don't do heavy weights at all.

I always lift weights very heavy and spend a lot of time in the weight room.

All the normal lifts that bodybuilders do, we didn't do them in basketball.

Mostly, I was into powerlifting when I was in high school. And I just continued to train the same way I was taught - to powerlift. Once I started doing bodybuilding, there were no real differences, just different exercises. A different way of training with more repetitions, but it was still the same lifting of very heavy weights to get stronger.

It's tough, you know, when you're thin and you don't put on muscle mass that easily. What you've got to remember is that you really have to eat a lot and you have to work your body out with basic exercises like deadlifts and squats and the bench press - the workouts that are basic in form but work a large group of muscles.

I don't lift weights.

I basically go to the gym three times a week to do weight training for one or two hours.

Even though the weight I'm lifting isn't what it was when I was playing, it's not like I'm not lifting weights that are heavier than the common person would lift. I think a lot of people look at that and say, 'Whoa!'

I want to get more muscly.

Only recently have I been introduced to the gym and heavy weightlifting and things like that. Before that, when I grew up, I just did a lot of gymnastics and dance. I had more of an athletic background, but nothing where I was in the gym or using any kind of weights.

I don't need to do that many weights but every now and then I do the bar, with 25-30 kilos on either side, which amounts to roughly probably my body weight. I lift this up above my head, then drop it and lift it up again.

If you want to really get in shape and get strong, there's these things called 'sleds.' You take a weighted sled, and you just push it across the floor, and then you drag it back. And, basically, if you do that for 20 minutes a day, you'll look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you put enough weight on it, it's the hardest thing in the world.

I stick to bread-and-butter bodybuilding. I hit my muscles from various angles, work on bringing up any weaknesses, and design workouts that are always challenging and helping me progress.

A lot of guys are starting to get away from trying to jerk these heavy weights and throw all these heavy weights around.

I never lift weights.

I do some weightlifting, a lot of different weight stuff, strength and conditioning stuff, a little bit of everything.

I lift pretty heavy for my body weight, and I don't do any of that girly stuff like cardio or any light weights. I go really heavy, and that intimidates some guys. I enjoy that.

I do cardio. I run. I strength-train using my own body weight. I don't like free weights, because I build muscle easily.

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case.

I was more of a weightlifter.

I work legs, upper body, everything. Legs are very important. I do hang cleans and squats - I do primary exercises. Squats work over 60 percent of your muscle mass in your body. The hang cleans work on my explosive movement, which is essential for success.

I don't criticize weight training - as long as it is not a substitute for aerobic training.

I occasionally go to the gym and I lift free weights, I don't use machines.
