As the hotly anticipated season 3 of Reacher draws near, Alan Ritchson has been offering his fans an exclusive insight into the rigorous workout regimen he has been adhering to in order to prepare for a revealing scene in the show.
In readiness for his role on the Amazon Prime series Reacher, Ritchson has been diligently following a strict routine to ensure that he is in peak physical condition to meet the demands of his character. In a recent interview with Men’s Health, the actor divulged details of his daily consumption of up to 4,000 calories and his rigorous home workout routine, which includes his preferred incline bench. Moreover, Ritchson has been keeping his followers updated on his fitness journey through his social media platforms, providing a glimpse into the dedication and hard work required to attain and maintain his muscular physique for the role.
In a recent video, Ritchson showcased the workout he underwent just before filming a particularly steamy scene as Jack Reacher, explaining that he had to fit in the routine before going to set due to the character’s need to disrobe. The demanding workout consisted of 16 minutes on the stair machine followed by four rounds of 25 repetitions on the cable machine for chest flys, shoulder presses, and cable rows. He then concluded the session with four rounds of leg presses and calf raises for his lower body.
Despite the challenging nature of the workout, Ritchson managed to maintain a sense of humour, confessing to his followers that he was “pretty gassed at this point” and expressing relief at running out of time for more exercises, adding “thank God” as he completed the circuit. It comes as no surprise that Ritchson’s character, Jack Reacher, is portrayed as being in peak physical condition, especially considering that the actor completed this intense session before a full day of filming.
For fans of Reacher, the prospect of seeing a very exposed and muscular Jack Reacher on TV screens in the near future is an enticing one. With Ritchson’s unwavering commitment to his fitness regimen and his dedication to embodying his character, it is evident that the upcoming season is poised to deliver a remarkable performance from the actor.
