Ryan Reynolds has a knack for not only cracking jokes on accurate timing but also bringing perfection in everything he does. And being a Hollywood celebrity, the Spirited actor knows well the importance of presenting oneself out in the world. One key aspect every actor has to look forward to is their physique. They habitually start working out months ahead of their new gig and carve their muscles per the requirement (This is not to omit their everyday fitness workout).

And it seems like Reynolds achieves his fitness target through what his longtime fitness trainer, Don Saladino calls “performance physique.” In an exclusive interview with entertainment outlet, Tom’s Guide, Saladino, who trains many A-list celebrities for a living, said “He’s not strictly an athlete, but he’s not a bodybuilder,” of the Canadian actor who has got immense arm strength.

And when the interviewer Jane McGuire from Tom’s Guide asked what a ‘normal’ training week looks like for the actor, we surprisingly found out that it is truly a ‘normal’ workout week for any person. They just change the splits for the requirement- starting with breathing exercises and a few warm-up exercises, they slowly tune into the dynamics. Furthermore, Saladino believes that the Deadpool mercenary’s secret to success lies in the fact that he understands “that his body needs different things” throughout the year.

Speaking of Deadpool, the celebrity PT also revealed Reynolds’ secret arm workout for his upcoming superhero gig.

Here’s how Ryan Reynolds trains his arms for Deadpool 3

Although his workout schedules may change from time to time as per the requirements, some things, as any smart physical trainee would do, remain unchanged. Don Saladino explained the dynamics of his client’s workout by taking examples of his two gigs, Spirited and Deadpool. While the 46-year-old is working to achieve the goal of hypertrophy (and increased growth of muscles), he will tune in to allow him to still maintain the movement. But when he trained for the Apple TV+ movie, Reynolds did a lot of dance and training.

Saladino then talks about his average arm workout, providing a list of exercises that they do when the actor is wearied either from hard training or filming week. Here is the list of exercises Saladino shared with Tom’s Guide:

They go in heavy, and they do two sets of this without any rest

1. Close grip bench press: 6-8 reps

Four sets with two back-to-back reps

1. Dumbbell overhead: 8-10 reps 
2. Dumbbell hammer curls: 8-10 reps 

for the third superset also, they do four sets of these two exercises:

1. Triceps rope push downs: 10-12 reps 
2. Preacher curls: 10-12 reps
