The Never Back down workout for Cam Gigandet focused on getting him to look as lean and muscular as possible. While Cam didn’t display a “bulted up” physique, the appearance of him was totally believable for someone involved in mixed martial arts.

The training program for this role consisted of a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. He prepared for this role with nearly a year of intensive training. Her diet consisted of four high-protein, low-carb meals, as well as protein shakes to make sure she was getting enough protein to build muscle.

The goal of his exercise program was to increase muscle size while reducing body fat.

His “Never Back down Workout” program consisted of resistance training one muscle group per day (this is very similar to the training programs of Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman). Most of the material I read indicated that he was doing 20-30 reps per exercise, that just doesn’t make any sense. Doing that many reps won’t build any real strength, just aerobic conditioning.

Personally, I like to train one muscle group per day, it allows you to bring more intensity and focus, and energy, to that muscle. Unfortunately, it also appears that Cam Gigandet didn’t train his legs other than all the cardio he should have been doing.

If I were to design the Cams workout, it would consist of using free weights, a few machines, and resistance bands. For most people, the biggest problem would be when to go to the gym to get in this good shape. However, if you can afford to buy some good quality resistance bands, dumbbells or an isotonic home gym… then you can do this type of training at home.

I would recommend doing 3-4 sets of each exercise, 8-12 reps. This will build muscle size and strength. I would also recommend using supersets to add more intensity to your workout.

With a good diet and a strong commitment to follow this Never Go Back workout, you’ll be able to build a lean, ripped, muscular body in no time.
