- Alicia Vikander's Tomb Raider Lower Body Workout
Taking us outside to "Mazzy HQ", the name she gives her outdoor gym set up, Davis walks us through how she'd be approaching the workout, not being in a full gym set-up. 'I do have a barbell, I have most of the equipment, there's just one thing that I need to alter because I don't have a full hack squat machine in my garden.'
A high volume workout, Davis starts with four sets of deadlifts, at 12 reps per set, mentioning that she wouldn't normally do so many reps in a set. '12 reps is hard, I usually go for about 5.' The reason Davis says her normal sets are much lower is because she trains for strength gains, rather than muscle hypertrophy (trying to build new, lean mus...
Then it was time for front squats, something Davis approaches with a sense of apprehension as, again, the exercise is different to how she would normally train. 'I'm not a fan of the front squats,' she says, explaining the difference between the move and her go-to, the back squat. 'With front squats, you're going to significantly hit your quads [qu...
Next up, the hack squat. An exercise that's usually performed on a hack squat machine and has the person squatting at a 45º angle. A great exercise to hit your entire lower body as well as your core, it's a staple in most muscle-building routines. 'I don't have a hack squat machine so I'm doing a dumbbellvariation,' explains Davis. 'All you have to...
'I'm just going to do alternate static lunges,' says Davis, repping out a few before mentioning that her legs were beginning to cramp. 13 sets into the workout and things had started to get real.
The last move before Vikander's spicy core-finisher and it's something Davis isn't so keen on, skaters. 'You may as well just jog on the spot,' she says demonstrating the exercise. 'My issue with it is that if you do [it] you might slip.' Instead, performing the exercise cautiously, Davis hopped from side to side, landing softly. An exercise that w...
Last but by no means least, Davis sets up for five minutes of plank variations. Moving between a forearm plank, high plank and side planks, Davis chats through her thoughts on the workout as a whole. 'This is, for me, a really enjoyable workout,' she said. 'Fair play to her, this is the hardest one [workout] I've done. Actually no, J.Lo's was harde...
