Meanwhile, Hollywood witnessed superhero films with actors sporting ripped avatars. Eventually, the online fitness community got interested in their training regimen as well. However, Dr. Mike Israetel now evaluates the movie stars’ fitness protocols to bust the fitness myths for enthusiasts.

The Scientist evaluated all the ten exercises of the actor and gave scientific insights. However, he found the battle ropes session futile. “For the 500th time, battle ropes is one of the stupid exercises ever invented. It trains almost nothing.” He retorted in his analysis video.

Giving more information about the exercise, the bodybuilding coach said, “It trains the aerobic and possibly glycolytic ability to use your biceps, triceps, shoulders, and back a little bit. Not through a full range of motion and offers minimal muscle growth.” It isn’t the first time the expert criticized Hollywood training techniques.

The Exercise Scientist once slammed Brie Larson’s Trainer

Brie Larson’s superhero role of Captain Marvel is celebrated for her brilliant performance. People were curious about her training regimen after she shined in the MCU film. Jason Walsh coached Larson for nine months for the role.

Evaluating the video depicting Larson’s training routine, Israetel slammed the coach for his thoughts on the foam rolling session. “I use it before the workout and after before because I can get adjustments down my spine. And then afterwards it’s more for recovery,” Walsh once confessed. “So, foam rolling doesn’t adjust your spine, it just makes you feel nice,” stated the Exercise Professor, negating the celebrity coach’s opinion.
