Currently Working on New Hollywood Project, Mike O’Hearn Shares Back Workout Amidst Hectic Routine

The 55-year-old fitness influencer and bodybuilder Mike O’Hearn is not only a prominent figure in the fitness world. He has also made quite a name in Hollywood by working in movies like Barbarian and Magazine Dreams. Now, the Titan is back on the set of his upcoming movie. 

The former Mr. California recently uploaded a video on his YouTube channel and shared his rigorous back workout routine, where he explained how, after spending too much time on set, he wants to loosen his lower back for his role in the movie. Let’s find out what exercises the Titan was doing to get this done. 

O’Hearn’s go-to workout to overcome soreness

According to O’Hearn, he has been spending over twelve hours a day on the set, with him also having to fight four to five guys in action sequences as well. After spending so much time on set, he was feeling stiff and went to the gym to hit his back. The former powerlifter started with a proper workout. 

He did pull-ups to fire up his shoulders and back, then moved to hit his lower abs with the abs rolling machine to focus on his core area. The last exercise he did for his warmup was hyperextension rotation and incline sit-ups with extra stretching using a bench. The former Mr. California highlighted, “I’m not doing a lot because I don’t want to blow my load on this.“

For his back workout, he started with weighted pullups, slowly moving on to three sets of lat pull-downs. But in the second set, the Titan focused on pulling right toward his face, making a specific angle. For the last set of the lat pulldowns, he used the v-grip and performed each rep smoothly. His last exercise was the chest-supported cable pullovers, focusing on lats and giving them a proper shape to match his physique.

Earlier, the four-time Mr. Universe shared the secret behind his strength, which led him to the best shape he had in years. 

The Titan’s secret exercise for increasing grip strength

In a previous video on O’Hearn’s YouTube channel, he shared the ultimate workout for boosting his grip strength by doing an inclined bench T-Bar. This exercise focuses on your upper chest development and stimulates your muscles, helping you attain a ripped back. The former Mr. California emphasized the importance of hand strength and said, “Muscles come and go; get that man strength like this guy.“

The four-time Mr. Universe highlighted the fact that one can only lift heavy things if they have stronger arms. “I want the hand strength so besides getting a stronger back and healthy shoulders and elbows and wrists,” says the former powerlifter. He also urged his fans to aim for a functional body with good mobility. 

Despite spending twelve hours on set and doing rigorous scenes for his movie, he still takes out time to go to the gym. Like O’Hearn, are you also committed to your workout? Let us know in the comments.
