Using Visual Impact To Get The Body Of A God

The ideal male physique has gone through a major overhaul over the last five or six years, gone are the days of the pumped up, gym body. Celebrities like Ryan Gosling, Taylor Lautner and Daniel Craig are sporting the leaner, meaner look of a gymnast. Programs like the Visual Impact workout, that emphasize muscle density over mass, has transformed a brand new generation of men. Not unlike Thor’s workout, that Chris Hemsworth used to prepare for the role of Thor, the Visual Impact program takes the focus off of the amount of weight you lift, opting for lighter weights with more repetitions. Thor’s workout and Visual Impact training both use a step by step plan that tones, builds density without bulk and burns fat, resulting in a lean, “shrink wrapped” look. Men of all ages have been drawn to Thor’s workout because it gives them a more agile physique that makes anything they wear look great.

The attraction of Visual Impact training and Thor’s workout is something Hollywood insiders have known for years: location, location, location. Rusty Moore designed his Visual Impact program to highlight specific muscle groups while avoiding over development. The four stage workout includes:

*Strategically building muscle with multiple reps, with short rest periods in between sets. Thor’s workout leans toward weighted pull-ups and bench presses.

*Reps are decreased, but the focus is on strength building, so the amount of weight is slightly increased.

*Cardio and fat burning dominate step three. Thor’s workout takes its cues from Visual Impact by including movement oriented exercises like kettlebell swings.

*The final “shrink wrap” phase, that repeats phase two, adds a higher calorie intake after you’ve burned off that excess fat.

Both the Visual Impact and Thor’s workout stress a high protein, low fat diet. The complete Thor’s workout can be seen at http://www.thorsworkout.com.
