- Hi guys.
My name is Tenoch Huerta.
I'm an actor.
I'm in Gainsland,
this fantastic gym in San Jerónimo, Mexico City.
And this is part of my routine,
just because I love it,
no, because they pay me.
That's a secret.
For different roles, you need different routines.
For example, Narcos.
I need just to look massive,
not exactly fitness,
but now
for Black Panther
for this character, they need
not exactly
like a big guy, like a superhero kind.
More like a swimmer.
This guy is Jeronimo, he's my trainer.
- A big part of his routine was basically a full body.
So, we're gonna
introduce you to the first workout
which was a back squat,
which is gonna help him a lot with the core stability.
Work a lot with the legs and the quads specifically
because, with this role he was using
tight shorts
- Chain shorts
- Exactly.
So he needed to have big quads, strong quads.
And also the core stability and mobility.
- You like this workout?
- No, I hate it.
But it's perfect.
(laughter)
- He may hate the entire routine but,
sorry, I'm not sorry. So.
So the next exercise
that we're gonna do
is a Romanian death lift.
Now, this is a very useful exercise
for hamstring development.
Furthermore,
he needed a lot of glute development.
We wanted to focus more on quads and hamstring.
So this was our main hamstring exercise.
Also, it is very important
that even though this is a full body
these two exercises were separate exercises,
because they're very taxing physically
and also for for the nervous system.
So, it is important that we remember
that we wanted to do these exercises isolated.
And this is gonna be also very useful
for the core stability
and also for power and strength.
So the next exercise is gonna be a sled push and pull.
This is gonna be very useful,
especially for conditioning.
During his preparation for Namor.
he's using a lot of wires
he's doing a lot of physical activity during the sets.
And also because he's an underwater character,
he swam a lot.
So it is very important, this exercise
to give him a little bit more conditioning.
How long were you swimming for?
- Eight hours. Yes.
- Yeah. So it was, it was very taxing.
So this exercise was very useful for power and conditioning
burning a lot of calories
because he needed to lose body fat,
and also to prepare him for swimming lessons,
like the child you are.
The next exercise that we're gonna do
is a inclined bench press.
Now, we prefer this exercise
over the normal bench press
because he has some injuries in his shoulders.
And this exercise gave him a little bit more stability,
and it was painless for him.
And he used mostly dumbbells
also because he was
more comfortable with the dumbbells
than with the barbell.
- This is my favorite part of the workout.
(laughter)
- And now the next exercise that we're gonna do
is we just needed some doubles and the floor.
This is actually, a, more of a stability kind of workout.
And for core,
because he's gonna be sitting on the ground
with his knee pretty much extended,
and doing a shoulder press.
Also for strength and conditioning
and a lot of stability for his shoulders.
You feel good with your shoulders and steady?
- Yeah
- Okay, awesome. Great.
And the final exercise that we're gonna do
is a pike position, leg extension.
And we wanted to do also a lot of stability
for the shoulders.
A lot of core movement
and strength
and a lot of hip hinge.
Also to develop the quads.

- Hey guys, this was my, my workout.
You remember, everybody has different way of life.
Everybody has different level of fitness.
Don't hurt yourself.
Be gentle with yourself.
But, keep going.
See you next time.
