When you see Jason Statham shirtless, it’s difficult to imagine he’s approaching 50 years old. But he is, and he has explained how he maintains his remarkable setup. Jason Statham has revealed how he keeps his lean physique.

The 49-year-old action star, who is more chiseled than me𝚗 half his age, told Me𝚗’s Health magazine about his gym routine.

Statham told the magazine that while in New Zealand filming a shark movie with Ruby Rose, he put up a makeshift gym in the garden of the house he was renting to keep in shape.

“I had a framework put together in the backyard, this sort of bar workout area where I could mount some gymnastic rings,” he explained to Me𝚗’s Health.

“I’ve been utilizing rings as part of my training for the last 12 months. If you can find a spot to string them up, there’s a lot of advantages in terms of shoulder mobility and real-world strength.”

In addition to gymnastic rings. The Expendables star also works out with kettlebells and claims that one of his secrets to success is giving his body adequate time to heal.

“I tend to combine some kind of Olympic lifts with gymnastic training,” he said.

“And it depends on the intensity of the training. If I do hard squats or deadlifts on Monday, I won’t do them again until Thursday or Friday. Recovery is an important topic that I have always disregarded.”

Statham prefers to train in the morning because “if training’s first on your list of things to do, it never gets compromised”.

And he refuses to work with a personal trainer.

“When you’re on your own, you can do a lot of examination of your movements and how good or bad they are,” he told me.

“There is so much information on the internet now. You may learn how to perform heavy lifts and other exercises effectively while avoiding ιnjury.

“I’m happy to adjust my workouts based on how I feel each day. I’ve learned that the body is like an adaptation machine: whatever you put at it, it finds a way to do it, and you never get any further advantages from it. Every day, I do my own thing at the gym, which gives me variety.

“A trainer sometimes has their own notions, and it’s difficult for them to grasp how I ended up with all of these f**king injuries. By training yourself, you can become extremely receptive to how your body feels and respond accordingly.”
