- Hey guys, what's happening?
Omari Hardwick here, I'm here with Men's Health
and today you're gonna work out with me.
Y'all cool with that?
Cool, let's go.
(hip hop music)
Now this gym, ironically, is not my gym, all right.
You guys are all in Dave Bautista's gym.
That is right.
Dave and I met on the set of "Army of the Dead".
Obviously we became not only cast mates,
but obviously brothers.
He must trust me at a pretty cool level,
if he's allowing me to rendezvous in his gym.
(upbeat digital music)
Today we're doing incline bench.
Open your chest up nice and wide, tuck your ass,
and as so
(weights clinking)
Now, for me I'll do about
three sets.
And remember everyone out there, breathing is
so imperative.
(exhales)
Blowing it out.
(exhales)
I come from the world of football so
we would sort of super set our chest workout with these.
So you just bring in your elbows in,
make sure everything stays tight,
shoulders in, elbows in,
then straight up.
(exhales)
Sometimes you wanna go slow.
When you drop you wanna explode at the top.
(exhales)
Slow, slow down.
Elbows in, tight.
(exhales)
What I do is I think about the things that I wanna execute,
and what I decide is that those things will be executed
based on how well I do in the gym.
Again, that could be cardio,
that could be playing basketball,
that could be swimming,
it could be boxing,
how many reps I do,
or it could be doing curves.
Whatever it may be.
And we're off.
Hold at the top.
Slow down.
Hold at the top.
Slow down.
We're doing 20,
10 on each arm.
Y'all counting with me?
This is five.
Blowing it out.
Breath in at all times.
We're at seven.
Eight.
Nine.
10.
All right guys.
Now we are about to do some dips
of a different kind, all-right?
Chain dips, which in college I called chips.
So, shout out to The University of Georgia.
Shout outs to the dawgs, go dawgs.
But yes, we're gonna do some good old fashioned chain dips.
Chips.
(chains clinking)
Ah!
(chains clinking)
All right guys,
next up, good old fashioned,
I like to say pull-up holds.
So I'm gonna, in a isometric way,
hold my body weight at a stationary position.
Arms extended as so,
holding the bar as you see ahead,
and I'm gonna hold the bar but hold in that vertical way
where my elbow to arm is in this sort of angle.
I'm gonna hold isometrically, holding my weight,
suspended in air, body suspended in the air,
and of course do leg lifts at the top.
Typically people will do abdominal workouts
when doing leg lifts
and they'll bring them about parallel to your belly button
or in that arena.
I'm gonna bring them over my head and up to the same bars
that I'm holding with my hands.
We're gon get it.
(hip-hop music)
Five to the left.
(hip-hop music)
Make sure you keep breathing.
(exhales)
To the right.
(hip-hop music)
(exhales)
(upbeat music)
All right guys.
Y'all just saw when we started this whole thing.
Bringing you to some good old fashioned football workouts.
This is what we call a sled.
Your basic sled.
Push.
Rarely do you pull.
We're gonna push on one side.
On the way back we're gonna push on the other side,
which is gonna bring me down lower.
One time down, one time back is one rep.
One time down, one time back is the second rep.
One time down and back.
So on and so forth until we get 10 reps, all right?
(hip hop music)
(panting)
Whew!
(hands clapping)
I'm feeling pretty good.
I'm doing this for the people.
Doing it for the fans,
doing it for the culture.
Doing it for all those men who have a focus on health.
All those women who have a focus on health,
and all of those people that just wanna to get better.
Good old fashioned growth.
Never did nobody no good
to stay at the same place.
So we got to grow.
(panting)
Push it through.
(panting)
Hey guys, it's been a pleasure.
It's been an honor.
I appreciate you guys hanging out
on behalf of Men's health.
This is Omari Hardwick.
I hope you had as much fun as I did.
Thanks for coming.
We'll have to do this again.
It was a great workout.
Peace guys.
