Hugh Jackman Deadlift: How He Got Ripped For ‘Wolverine’

The “””1,000-Pound Club”””

The Hugh Jackman deadlift of 410 pounds put him into the prestigious 1000-pound club.

The 1000-pound club is exclusively for those whose deadlift, squat, and bench press total weight in one day equals 1000 pounds or over.

While he is better known for his movies like The Wolverine, watching Hugh Jackman deadlift is an inspiration for people of all ages.

Especially when you realize that Jackman’s age is over 40, you might find more motivation to get fit yourself.

As of this update, Hugh Jackman’s age was 54 years old on October 12th, 2022.

He proves that no matter what your age, even if you have hit 50 or 60, you can still get stronger.

And if you think that you are too tall to deadlift, Hugh Jackman is 6 feet 2 inches in height and still deadlifting impressive weight.

Watch the Hugh Jackman Deadlift that Brought Him Into the 1000 Pound Club

Here is the video of Hugh Jackman deadlifting 410 pounds which put him into the 1000lb club.

Hugh Jackman called this video,  “The deadlift that brought me into the 1000-pound Club”.

A 410-pound deadlift at any age is impressive, especially at the age of 46.

If you have been trying to improve your personal record for the deadlift, you will understand why.

Watch as Hugh Jackman Deadlifts 410 Pounds and Join the 1,000-pound Club

The X-Men Apocalypse star is not only a winner of Emmy, Tony, and Golden Globe awards.

He is also a winner at pushing himself to get stronger even at the age of 46 in his 410-pound deadlift video.

He did a:

  • 355-pound squat, a
  • 235-pound bench press, and topped it off with a
  • 410-pound deadlift

In one workout routine in one day.

This powerlifting total equals 1000 pounds of weight lifted within a 3-hour exercise workout window.

To join the exclusive “1,000-pound club”, you must complete the squat, bench press, and deadlift within a 3-hour window.

It is true that staying strong and in shape is part of Hugh Jackman’s ‘job,’ but let’s not use that as an excuse to keep sitting on our couches.

If Hugh can do it, so can you, even if you do not have a personal trainer or several hours a day to work out.

Motivation for Couch Potatoes from a Deadlift

Hugh proves that if you:

  • Stay consistent,
  • Eat clean and
  • Focus on the basic compound exercises of squats, bench presses, and deadlifts

You can build a stronger and leaner physique, even over the age of 40.

While it is true that you might not have a personal trainer to work out with two hours a day and to set up your meal plan, you can still get great results.

How?

By following a program similar to Hugh Jackman’s deadlift workout program.

Hugh Jackman Deadlift Workout Program

What is Hugh Jackman’s Deadlift Workout Program?

This is a picture of how Hugh looked in the year 2000 at the age of 31.

Before using the deadlift workout program designed by David Kingsbury.

Now, here is how Hugh Jackman looked for his role as Wolverine in 2015.

An incredible body transformation fifteen years later at the age of 46!

This program was created by Personal Trainer Dave Kingsbury to prepare Hugh for his role as Wolverine in the X-Men movie series.

His workout program included the big compound lifts of deadlifts, squats, bench presses, and pull-ups.

Jackman’s training regimen helped the 6 foot 2 inch Wolverine weigh in at 195 pounds and under 10% body fat.

Hugh’s workout program is also known as the ‘Wolverine’ workout program.

A four-week block and one-rep max is the foundation for this strength training workout plan.

First, you need to determine your one-rep max for the deadlift, squat, bench press, and pull-up.

Not sure how to find your 1 rep max?

No problem!

I’ve got you covered.

Find Your One Rep Max

Based on your information, Hashi Mashi’s One-Rep Max calculator will display your estimated maximum amount of weight and the number of reps you can lift.

The method for calculating your 1 Rep Max is based on Epley’s equation.

Enter weight or reps

1 Rep Max:
Show / Hide Intensity Table
% of 1RM Weight Reps

Instructions:

Step 1: Select your units, pounds, or kilograms.

Step 2: Adjust the amount of weight and reps you tested with.

Warning: Do NOT attempt to lift the absolute maximum weight you think you can.

Estimate your one-rep max, don’t actually lift it!

Once you define your one-rep max for these lifts, then use the following exercise workout schedule as Kingsbury related to Alon Shabo:

First Week

SET REP RANGE WEIGHT
Set 1 5 Reps 60% of W1 RM
Set 2 5 Reps 65% of W1 RM
Set 3 5 Reps 75% of W1 RM
Set 4 5 Reps 75% of W1 RM

For example, if your one-rep max for the deadlift is 200 pounds, then your deadlift workout will look like this:

SET Deadlift REP RANGE WEIGHT
Set 1 Five reps 120 Pounds
Set 2 Five reps 130 Pounds
Set 3 Five reps 150 Pounds
Set 4 Five reps 150 Pounds
For example, if your one-rep max for the squat is 135 pounds, then your squat workout will look like this:
SET Squat REP RANGE WEIGHT
Set 1 Five reps  80 Pounds
Set 2 Five reps  85 Pounds
Set 3 Five reps 100 Pounds
Set 4 Five reps 100 Pounds

Second Week

SET REP RANGE WEIGHT
Set 1 4   130 Pounds
Set 2 4   150 Pounds
Set 3 4   170 Pounds
Set 4 4   170 Pounds

Third Week

SET REP RANGE WEIGHT
Set 1 3 Reps 70% of W1RM
Set 2 3 Reps 80% of W1RM
Set 3 3 Reps 90% of W1RM
Set 4 3 Reps 90% of W1RM

 

SET Deadlift REP RANGE WEIGHT
Set 1 3 140 Pounds
Set 2 3 160 Pounds
Set 3 3 180 Pounds
Set 4 3 180 Pounds

Fourth Week – Deload Week

SET REP RANGE WEIGHT
Set 1 10 Reps 40% of W1RM
Set 2 10 Reps 50% of W1RM
Set 3 10 Reps 60% of W1RM
Set 4 10 Reps 60% of W1RM

 

SET Deadlift REP RANGE WEIGHT
Set 1 10 80 Pounds
Set 2 10 100 Pounds
Set 3 10 120 Pounds
Set 4 10 120 Pounds

Calculate the pounds you will lift for your other exercises of squats, bench presses, and pull-ups using the same percentages.

You can squat and deadlift on:

  • Monday,
  • Wednesday, and
  • Friday,

leaving the bench press and pullups/pushups for:

  • Tuesday, and
  • Thursday.

Then the next week you can change it up by doing bench presses and pullups on:

  • Monday,
  • Wednesday, and
  • Friday and

Squats and deadlifts on:

  • Tuesday and
  • Thursday.

After one week at the same weights, raise your pounds by 5 to 10 percent the next week.

This basic deadlift workout can get you into peak condition, if followed consistently, along with proper food choices.

If you feel that you can only squat and deadlift once a week to recover, so be it.
