Ranveer Singh’s latest movie, Dhurandhar, has opened packed houses and is gathering all the critical acclaim. The star, one of the most talented and high-octane actors today, has an unmatched energy which
suits his brilliant acting skills, and is fast establishing himself as a critical and commercial force. While Ranveer never fails to make a lasting impression, his commitment to fitness is worth applauding. With a well-chiseled body, Ranveer beefed up for Dhurandhar and took physical training to higher notches – just another reflection of his total dedication to the art. Entering into an action space - the 40-year-old actor, has gone full throttle with a workout and diet regimen that every youngster today wants to emulate.
Ranveer’s heavy-duty workout
For his six-pack abs and perfectly cut muscles, Singh has adhered to a super-strict and disciplined workout regimen. For triceps, Ranveer has been training consistently on V-bar push-downs, lying dumbbell extensions, and underhand straight bar extensions. And for those steel-cut muscles, Ranveer’s workout routine consisted of standing EZ bar curls and seated dumbbell hammer curls. According to experts, building biceps helps enhance functional strength for daily lifting and pulling, better upper body stability and posture, and even helps in reducing joint injury risk. Strong biceps support daily tasks like stabilizing the elbow and shoulder, and aid in overall balanced strength development, making you more efficient and less prone to strains.
What does Ranveer eat daily?
While he has worked out hard and consistently in the gym to get the body to die for, experts say muscles are not just built in the gym, as your diet is equally important. Even though he is a self-professed foodie, Ranveer has always said he goes on strict bans on food when it comes to diet. While he prioritises a high-protein and low-carb diet that supports his fitness ambitions, Ranveer also believes in portion control. In an Instagram interview recently, Ranveer had revealed that his breakfast is mostly oats with nuts and chocolate chips, immunity shots, detox juice, probiotic drinks, and even shilajit and ashwagandha date balls - a perfect balance of nutrition and indulgence.
How does a high-protein diet help in muscle building?
To build muscles, it is important to make sure your intake of protein is high, as it provides amino acids – the essential building blocks your body uses to repair the microscopic tears in muscle fibres caused by strength training. It also makes your muscles bigger and stronger through a process known as muscle protein synthesis. According to experts, adequate protein intake ensures your body has enough resources to build new muscle tissue and prevents muscle breakdown, especially when combined with regular resistance exercise and sufficient calories. To build muscle, you need more protein intake than what's broken down, creating a positive balance that favours growth. And so, when you are lifting weights, aim for higher protein intake - around 0.5 to 0.8 grams per pound of body weight- to maximize gains. Consume quality protein sources like meat, dairy, and plant-based options like chickpeas alongside carbohydrates after workouts to refuel and repair.
