Exercises

Stretching

Mark always begins his workout with stretching to loosen his muscles. This serves as his warm up exercise to avoid muscle strain.

Chest

Chest Dip is a form of push-up exercise but basically done in standing position with parallel bars. This will shape the triceps, chest and shoulders. It is done by holding the parallel bars lateral to the body and slowly pushing the body up and down by bending the elbows.

Incline Bench and Flat Bench Smith is done by pushing the barbell up with the arms in full extension and down to the upper chest thus giving the chest strong contractions and tightness.

Triceps

Tricep Push Down is done with the use of cable push-down in the form of pulley. It is focused on the triceps brachii muscles found at the back of the upper arm.

The Overhead Extension using the EZ curl bar is a weightlifting exercise for triceps as the primary muscle being developed. It is performed in the sitting position by lifting the barbell behind the head parallel to the point of the bent elbow then slowly lifting the weights up over the head for a few seconds.

Shoulders

Military Smith Front Shoulder Press is also done by lifting the barbell up and down in front of the chest and back up over the head. Military Smith Press Behind Neck is done the same way but the barbell goes down behind the neck.

Legs

Smith Squat is a strong leg muscle exercise done by slowly squatting down and back up to a standing position with the barbell positioned behind the shoulders.

Leg Extension is performed by pushing the weight up and down in a leg swinging pattern. Mark Wahlberg performs this set 10 to 15 times on each leg and another set with both legs to develop strong quadriceps muscles.

Back

Wide Grip Pull-ups This a full back workout routine done by grabbing a horizontal pole and pulling the whole body weight up.

Lat Pulldown Behind Neck is done by pulling the grip pull-down bars until it touches the base of the neck thus making the lat or the flat muscles of the back thicker and stronger.

Biceps

Barbell Curls consist of lifting a barbell in a standing position bringing it up with a flexed arm and down with a fully extended arm.

Seated Alternate Dumbell Curls are done by lifting heavy weight dumbbells in each hand one at a time.

Unlike other workout routines, Mark Wahlberg’s workout routine does not include crunches and regular cardio exercises such as cycling, running, and walking on threadmills. He is into full blast muscle building exercise by hitting each area hard and fast.
