Amid his array of tailored workouts and specific exercises, Zocchi highlights one exercise as a non-negotiable part of everyone’s fitness journey.

So according to Luke, shoulder health is extremely important, and strengthening the shoulder muscles with the hanging and moving through the pull-up is going to benefit everyone. Zocchi agrees with the fact that there needs to be proper training in body weight exercises before progressing to free weights.

He said, “Chris and I do a lot of bodyweight movements: chin-ups, push-ups, squats—they’re the base.

Luke had earlier shared that Hemsworth used functional workouts and focused on recovery rather than weight training for his role in ‘Extraction 2.’
