Welcome to the club. Luckily for all of us, Chris Hemsworth, aka Thor, is extremely generous when it comes to sharing his workouts with us mere mortals. From the bodyweight workout he uses when on the move, to the exact resistance band workout he used on the set of Thor: Love and Thunder, there's nothing I love more than digging into the workout routine of one of Hollywood's most active stars.&nbsp; That said, when I saw his latest workout - a 250-rep dumbbell circuit, which Hemsworth ran through on the deck of a naval ship and then uploaded to Instagram (as you do), I wasn't enthralled.

This one looked tough, but in the name of good journalism, and a quest for killer biceps, I grabbed my yoga mat and a set of weights and gave it a go. Read on to find out what happened.&nbsp; A reminder that what works for Chris Hemsworth, or me, might not be right for you and your body. If you are new to some of the exercises on this list, or you're returning to exercise following an injury, it's a good idea to check your form with a personal trainer before adding weight to the movement.&nbsp; <h2>What is Chris Hemsworth s 250-rep dumbbell workout &nbsp </h2> The only equipment you'll need for the workout is a set of dumbbells.

Hemsworth is using a set of the best adjustable dumbbells in the video, but just select a pair that makes the exercise feel challenging by the final few reps. The 250-rep dumbbell workout goes as follows:&nbsp; Dumbbell burpee curl - 10 reps To do this exercise, hold a dumbbell in each hand in a high plank and drop your chest down to the floor for a push-up, then jump your feet into your hands, and as you stand up, perform a shoulder press, raising the weights above your head. That's one rep.&nbsp; Squat curl press - 10 reps The start of many, many bicep curls.

Dumbbell bicep curl - 10 reps This one is a little simpler than the rest - holding a dumbbell in each hand, perform a bicep curl, thinking about engaging your biceps as you curl the weights towards your torso. Here are 7 of the best bicep exercises for building your arms.&nbsp; Standing shoulder press - 10 reps Start by standing with your legs shoulder-width apart, with a dumbbell in each hand. Raise the dumbbells up to your shoulders, and press them up to the ceiling for ten reps.

First up, this workout is no joke - the first three compound exercises raised my heart rate from the get-go, and was sweating by the time it got to the first minute-long breather. Hemsworth doesn't reveal the weight of the dumbbells he's lifting, but I opted for a set of 15 pound dumbbells to really push myself for the first set.

By the break, I realized I needed to lose the ego, and dropped down to a 10-pound set for the remainder of the workout. As a reminder, the weights should make the final few reps of each exercise feel challenging, but shouldn't force you to compromise your form.&nbsp; This was also a full-body workout - during the squats and lunges, you're still curling and pressing, so your arms are doing a lot more than just holding the dumbbells by your side.

This was tough, and definitely made the workout a lot harder than my normal strength sessions.&nbsp; Even with the breaks, I was able to complete the workout in under 20 minutes, proving that you don't need to spend hours sweating in the gym to get a killer workout. Did the session leave me with a visible six-pack and bulging biceps? Sadly not - the human body isn't that simple, but I definitely felt the workout in my arms and legs the next day.
