(Image credit: Instagram/taron.egerton) Earlier this year, my colleague branded Taron Egerton a thirst trap, and he wasn't wrong. Whether or not he's preparing to play Wolverine remains to be seen (here's everything you need to know about those casting rumors), but there's no doubt about it - Egerton is in fantastic shape right now. But how exactly has the Rocketman star built his impressive physique? 
As a fitness editor, I spend my days researching the best running shoes for my readers to buy, or the best ab workouts to get results, but following Egerton's recent Instagram story, which featured the actor dancing in a towel to the Bee Gees hit "More Than a Woman", as a matter of urgency, I decided to stop what I was doing, and research his workout routine.

I know, it's a hard job, but someone has to do it. 
Egerton hasn't said much about his time in the gym, but we do know that he started training with trainer Dalton Wong for his role in the Kingsman 2 movie, and that the two continued to train together for years afterward. As Egerton is still following Wong on Instagram, we can jump to the assumption that the two are still in touch, although Egerton has been tagging trainer, Russell Lee (opens in new tab) in some of his recent workout videos.

People at home can wrap a towel around their bar to imitate a fat grip. For chin-ups, most people's limiting factor is not their back, it's their grip strength."

Wong also revealed that Egerton's diet focused on balance, rather than cutting, "I don't believe in omitting anything" Wong said.

During training, Egerton would eat carbs, proteins, and fats to help him build his shape. When he was filming, Egerton's carbs and proteins were reduced in order to reduce the inflammation in his body.

Everyone likes to do arms after all," he said. Want to work out like Egerton? Read on to find out how to master a chin-up. 
 How to do a chin-up&nbsp 
Similar to a pull-up, a chin-up is slightly different as you grip the bar with your palms facing towards your body; as a result, a chin-up targets the muscles along the front of your body, such as your biceps and chest. 
To do a chin-up, grab the bar with both hands, keeping your palms facing towards your body, and your hands shoulder-width apart (if you can't reach the bar from the ground, you'll want to step up on a box or block for your first go, rather than jumping up to the bar).

Then, pull yourself upwards until your chin is above the bar. Pause for a few seconds at the top, with your elbows fully bent, before lowering yourself back down to your starting position, with your arms outstretched. Be sure to lower down with control, rather than falling. 
If you're a beginner, here's how to build up to your first chin-up:
