At least he didn’t have to do any cardio. He was drilled two hours a day for three months targeting two major muscle groups at a time before moving onto the core. Unfortunately for Chris Evans, the actor who portrayed him, the process was much more painful in reality than a quick jab.
Unlike the new aesthetic that Craig brought to Bond, Evans' portrayal of Captain America needed to be the product of several elements of training, including hand-t0-hand combat, swimming, explosive strength, sprinting and, unsurprisingly, mirror muscle.įew superhero film body transformations are as striking as that of Steve Rogers, who goes from big-hearted wimp to broad-chested warrior after an injection of super-soldier serum. No stranger to the demands of Hollywood's leading men, Waterson was the mastermind behind Daniel Craig's first outing as James Bond in Casino Royale (lest we forget the blue trunks scene), and continued to shape the seventh, and current, Bond's fitness, all the way up to 2021's ' No Time to Die'. In Chris Evans' case, elite Hollywood trainer Simon Waterson was briefed with the task of whipping Evans into Avengers shape. Chris Evans' Captain America Trainerīehind every impressive silver screen body is an equally gifted coach. While impressive, Evans' objective of crafting a frame that would strike fear into even the most wretched Marvel villains was an unenviable one, and would see him supersetting a tough workout with an even more regimented diet plan, making the most of lean protein sources, smart supplementation and a trainer that knew his way around Hollywood's toughest alums.ĭespite these odds, Evans pulled off a remarkable transformation to the point that, unbelievably, Captain America's post-production had to rely on CGI trickery to shrink his body down. Here, we'll be exploring the exact workouts that Evans used to gain upper-body brawn and transform from an affable wimp to a villain-crushing, armed-and-dangerous warrior. Released in 2011, Evans' Captain America physique - and the training programming that built it - still commands tens of thousands of search engine queries every day, but few can pinpoint the exact plan that built his frame. I run the images through a batch encoder with Irfanview to get rid of black borders on the image, rename the files, and conform them to jpg.Ħ.Before we begin, let's get one thing abundantly clear: there are few other Hollywood transformations more admired than that of Chris Evans' hardcore effort of becoming Captain America. and bring down the number of stills to my 60-65 golden number.ĥ. I go through the folder again (immediately)looking at the frames on large preview and try and remove frames that replicate a certain lighting style or framing. I’m then left with usually around 80-100 really interesting frames.
I view all the frames as a slideshow and I remove any frame that there are doubles of (someone might be blinking in first frame and normal in second) or remove any that seem less interesting this time around.Ĥ. So the next step is to edit, usually there might be a week or 2 between the first grab and this edit stage. This usually leaves me with around 200-250 frames per film. Depending on mood I could spend a few hours just doing the grabbingģ. I watch through the movies on VLC, usually between 3x and 4x speed while listening to podcasts, grabbing any frame that interests me. i try to keep a mix of styles.genres/directors and DP’s so I dont get bored while working.Ģ. Make a to do pile, its a combination of recommendations, stuff Ive been enjoying myself, stuff I want to rewatch…. Hi Arturo, Ive considered having a donate button, but I feel bad for asking for money, maybe I’ll post an amazon wishlist so people can contribute in that way sending me movies I want to feature on the site.ġ.
