Chris Hemsworth needs to have a pack fit for Thor’s physique. The movie made him gain 20 pounds with lean arms and shoulders. Since then, he has maintained his figure with the help of his gym trainer, Duffy Gaver, a former Navy Seal. According to Gaver, he used an old-school bodybuilding approach to achieve Hemsworth's physique.
The body fat in this muscular physique accounts for 10-12%. Compared to other muscular men, Hemsworth’s body has a good shoulder-to-waist proportion. He follows a 5-day workout plan, where he focuses on different parts of the body. His workout plan is short and intense and uses traditional workout techniques.
Workout routines should be accompanied by a diet with a specific calorie count to be consumed daily. Foods are weighed to an appropriate diet plan. Sometimes, a protein shake is also included in meals to get toned muscles.
He starts the back workouts with pull-ups. The workout uses a general pull-up bar and does different repetitions. Pull-ups are done at the beginning of the whole workout process since they may also serve as a warm-up for the whole back session. Five sets of 20-reps push-ups follow it.
Deadlifts are also included in his back workout. The whole-body workout includes full-body movement, back, glutes, and hamstrings. Weights are carried on three sets with 8 to 12 reps each.

Weighted dips and cable flies end his second-day workouts. He uses ankle weights and dip stations for the weighted dips workout. A weight belt is also used to add resistance to his chest workout.
To tone his legs, he starts with seven sets of back squats with the help of a barbell and a squat rack. Like the bench press, Chris also adds weight after each set is done. The back squat is one of the most intense workouts in his weekly routine.
He also does leg presses with the help of his trainer. The workout starts with six plates and takes off a plate on each side every rep failure done. Legs and glutes are worked out with walking lunges. While doing this, Chris maintains a tall chest for a good posture.
Kneeling leg curls are done in three sets. It focuses on the hamstrings and prevents muscle imbalances. Leg workouts are ended with a standing calf raise. A box is used for three sets of this workout.
The leg workouts are as intense as his chest and arms workouts. These make his legs proportioned to his whole body.

The use of steroids is unethical for sports because of its effect, yet its use in the film industry remains only controversial. Some actors who admitted steroid use are Dwayne Johnson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke, and Sylvester Stallone.
According to a report, 20% of actors in the film industry use steroids to have a muscular build. The most common PEDs actors use are HGH, Winstrol, Durabolin, and Equipoise. Effects of these steroids are present in less than a year when accompanied by intense workouts and diet.
