Jason Bourne Workout

This is not the Jason Bourne you remember. It has been over a decade and a half since Matt Damon first stepped into the role of the rogue CIA asset, but as impossible as it may seem, he’s only getting stronger with age. The evidence came earlier this year, when a teaser trailer from Universal Pictures showcased Damon’s solidly ripped physique.

“It’s definitely more difficult to play Jason Bourne when you’re 45 years old versus when you’re 29 years old, said Damon during a recent press conference for the upcoming Jason Bourne. “Because you still have to run as hard and you have to be just as fit.

Being a brute onscreen does not come easy though, it takes intense focus, hard work, and a trainer who isn’t afraid to get in the trenches with you, like Jason Walsh . The LA-based fitness expert, along with boxing coach Matt Baiamonte, helped Damon make sure that the physicality of this Bourne did not wane with age. You can see the evidence in the first scene where a shirtless muscle-bound Bourne clocks a guy unconscious.

When we were in the gym Matt gave me everything he had, says Walsh. “The character is supposed to look beat up, so admittedly I overtrained him. I beat the shit out of him. We got to the point where he was doing single leg deadlifts with 125lb dumbbells. Even when travel was involved, the two did not let up on their schedule. “I brought a set of power blocks and a machine I love for sprints called the VersaClimber, which we could set up anywhere.

Like any good trainer, Walsh was there with Damon every step of the way, even during a brutal cardio regime on location. This included mornings jogging up the same hills Lance Armstrong used to train on before the Tour de France. “I made us go on some hellish runs in Tenerife of the Canary Islands, but that was after we had built him up with the lifting.

Here’s the sample of what Walsh put Damon through for the latest Bourne installment:

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

How to Gain Weight the Healthy Way - Building Muscle, Curve Shape

An important part of fitness that’s covered much less than weight loss, is weight gain. Gaining weight takes strategy, consistency, and work. It might seem foreign to some people who have differing goals, but saying “just eat more!” to someone who is trying to gain weight is not unlike saying “just eat less!” to someone who needs to lose weight. Relationships with food can be complicated. How to eat to gain weight and muscle the healthy way Eat often - Try to eat 6 times a day; 3 meals and 3 snacks. Try to not let more than 2-3 hours pass in between eating. Related:  What should you eat before your workout?

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
