Gregg Plitt is an American actor and model. He started off with Men’s Health, doing a modeling job for them. He has also notably worked for Instinct Magazine, Old Navy Jeans and American Health and Fitness, amongst others. He was able to score these jobs because he has always taken excellent care of his body.
He is in that elite group of people who, if they spend time developing their bodies, they will likely create a masterpiece. This is not the case for everyone; some people can toil away in the gym for years and not reach the level of physicality another is able to.
Like Derek Jeter famously once said something to the effect of the fact that he felt he was not the greatest baseball player, but that he was definitely one of the hardest working.
If you work hard at anything, and it matters to you, eventually you will make peace with the level you were able to achieve by challenging yourself to do everything you could to be the best you can be.
Greg Plitt is representative of someone who figured out their body was kind of special, and if they worked really hard, making it the best it could be, it would be a smart investment. In this way, Mr. Plitt latched on, early in life, to a notion it takes others a lifetime to figure out.
When you are a model, your body is your skill. Mr. Plitt has quite a workout regimen he does on a weekly basis to support this machine! He does follow the traditional chest-and-triceps on one day and back-and-biceps on another workout plan of those great developers of muscles who have gone before him. He also works legs and shoulders each on a separate day. Most every exercise he does follows the traditional. Most of this is a 4-set and 8 to 12-rep ratio.
Beginning on Monday, he works chest and triceps as follows: dumbbell flat chest, incline chest bar, cable crossovers, bench presses, lying tricep extensions, cable tricep pull-downs, flat bench press, flat bench flies and push-ups.
It is far more important to know the exercise, so as to incorporate it into your own routine, than it is to try to match your set-rep ratios to those who have achieved a certain level of physical fitness. Maximum set-rep ratios will fall into place in the fullness of time.
Mr. Plitt interestingly does exclusively cardio and abs on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. He does an eclectic mix of abdominal workouts, followed by 45 minutes of high-intensity cardio. This is averysmart move as working out goes, and every person on the planet could benefit from working toward working this into their regimens.
Wednesday he works back and biceps, starting with a wide-grip pull-up, continuing with rows, barbell biceps and preachers. On Friday, he does legs and shoulders. For legs he does squats, dead lifts, curls, extensions and calf raises. Shoulder exercises include military presses, dumbbell side raises, and back to mancuera.
You will notice with every famous person who is kind enough to share their workout regimen, that the more developed a person’s body is, the more time they are spending in the gym, unless of course one is a professional athlete, in which case the very nature of their job is a massive workout in and of itself. That being said, Greg Plitt’s workout regimen is smart, well-organized, and has something everyone can use.
