Build Crime-Fighting Pecs With Tom Hardy’s Press-Up Complex

Build Crime-Fighting Pecs With Tom Hardy’s Press-Up Complex

As if Tom Hardy could get any cooler, he single-handedly apprehended a thief after chasing him down through a building site. You don't need muscles like Bane to chase a crook - but you do need some to collar him. We present Hardy's own brutal Bane blitz to get in super-villain shape. Y'know, just in case. Let the games begin!


The eagle


Start in the same position as above, but this time spread your fingers as you lower and turn them outwards. Take the pain.


The kong

Assume a press-up position on your knuckles, your arms at shoulder-width. Lower your chest to the floor, letting your elbows bend back like a grasshopper’s legs. This is a final killer on your shoulders.


The diamond

Place your thumbs and index fingers together in a diamond shape. Lower your chest to the centre of the diamond, then push back up again. Breathe raggedly.


The square

Position your palms so they’re ‘square’ with your shoulders. Keep your elbows tucked in, moving alongside your torso to detonate your triceps.


The rectangle

Set your hands wide apart, so that when you lower your chest to the floor your arms, chest and the floor form a rectangle.



This punishing press-up routine can be performed in the comfort of your lounge.


Circuit 1

Do 10 reps of each move, performed on your knees

Circuit 2

Do 7 reps on your toes

Circuit 3

Do 5 reps, backside higher than your shoulders

Circuit 4

Do 3 reps, shoulders higher than your backside
