Daniel Craig workout

[DotheDamnTHing]

Hello all;

Was browsing the Mens Health website and came across this. I know celebrity workouts do not necessary mean you will end up looking like said star but was wondering if anyone has a opinion on it? It seems rather simple...missing something maybe?

Thanks

Most workout routines are pretty simple. That one seems to hit everything, though there are a few movements that aren't really worthwhile IMO. Plus, if your goal is to look like Daniel Craig or some other jacked dude, then you need to combine lifting with eating and rest. Ideally, you want to give your muscles about 48 hours to recover and rebuild after working them out... that's why programs like Starting Strength are so highly recommended for bulking.

Arms are hit 4x a week

Its fairly solid for a beginner program and is similar to routines I've done in the past. Lots of people devote a single day to a specific muscle group (legs/back/chest/shoulders/arms). I've also done plenty of Push/Pull and Full Body routines. Good to switch it up once in a while.

Biggest flaw I see with that routine is not enough back work. Chest/Back day is Press, Push-ups, Pull-ups, and Flyes? Where's the heavy bb rowing? T-bar row (though not my fave)? Hell even some alternating DB rows would be worthwhile or a Hammer Strength/Cybex Row.

I like the description of how to do a clean & press:

Clean and Press
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart in front of a barbell. Bend at your knees and hips, and grab the bar with an overhand grip. Push your thighs forward to raise the bar so your legs are fully extended and pull the bar up to your chest. As the bar gets to chest height bend your knees, swing you elbows forward and catch it at your shoulders. Without pausing, bend your knees again and press the bar above your head. Return the same route, then repeat.

So basically upright row to your chest then dip under? Got it.

WTF? Seriously, that's a terrible explanation. There is no way I would ever try to solely explain a clean through text. Needs a video.
