Every time actor Jason Statham appears in a new movie, he looks even more ripped than he did in the last one. The Expendables is a case in point – the Stath is quite frankly a monster in it. The top secret programme that got him that way was devised by movie star trainer Logan Hood and here’s a sample week from it. Do it using the same weights Statham did (listed in the workout) and you’lll realise how ‘faaking’ strong the cockney hardman is.
Monday – short circuit
1) 10-minute row.
2) 40kg rope pull (rope attached to a weighted sled), 20m bear crawl. As many rounds as possible in 10 minutes.
3) 10-minute row.
Tuesday – pushing supersets
1) Five-minute row.
2) Three pull-ups, five press-ups, seven squats. As many rounds as possible in five minutes.

Here’s the thing, as much as I like Jason Statham, if you’re simply looking to look like Jason Statham and not perform like him, then you could probably afford to skip the circuit training and intervals. Remember, he’s an action superstar that performs highly physical and dangerous stunts. I’m not saying that circuits and intervals are bad, but they’re probably unnecessary for the average Joe who just wants to look like a badass.
Here’s more on Jason’s diet…
Jason has a couple of rules when it comes to his diet:
- Never go over 2000 calories
- Eat 6 small meals a day
- No refined sugars and carbohydrates
- No alcohol
- Record everything you eat in a journal
Really though Jason, why would go and eat 6 meals a day? Are you trying to stoke your metabolic fire? If you don’t want to live your life eating constantly, then give intermittent fasting a try. Also, why would you completely restrict sugar, carbs, and alcohol? Those are some of life’s greatest pleasures. Don’t you know that a calorie is a calorie and that the only thing that matters is how much you eat, not what you eat.
Don’t get me wrong, Jason Statham is an incredible actor and athlete, but I’m guessing most guys simply want to look like Jason and don’t really care if they have his level of conditioning. Most of us don’t have to leap off buildings, fight 10 dudes at once, and engage in high speed car chases. We guess that’s why he gets paid the big bucks.
