DIET

According to Chris “To build muscle mass, it is very important to eat the right kind of food items”. Protein helps in the muscle building process and hence is a must for those who want to increase their muscle mass. Under Gaver’s guidance, Hemsworth started eating more egg whites, chicken, fish and steak.

Chris reduced the consumption of starchy carbohydrates like white rice and potatoes and increased the consumption of fibrous carbohydrates like spinach and broccoli. Apart from these, Hemsworth also took protein supplements to get the superhero figure. The use of amino acids prior to exercise helped him achieve the right anabolic environment that would help in muscle mass gain. After the workouts he had whey protein.
