Personal Trainer

Dr. Dre’s workout consists of both body weight and free weight exercises. He said that combining different types of training and exercises helped him to get to this point, where he looks like a monster in each and every shirt. Let’s mention the exercises that Dr. Dre implements in his body training.

Squats – Dre said that he loves doing squats because it activates all muscles of his body, and also because it’s especially good for developing massive legs.

“I love great sculpted legs”

– said Doctor Dre in one of his interviews given to Bodybuilding.com

Deadlift – Deadlift is the second exercise that Dre does when he works his Back.

It’s no wonder why he has back as a big mountain, the deadlifts are the real deal.

Pull-ups – There’s no better exercise for the upper body than the well-known Pull-ups.

Actually, Dre does weighted pull-ups because he’s an advanced-level trainee.

Weighted Dips – Besides weighted pull-ups, Dr. Dre does weighted dips too.

By doing weighted dips, Dre targets the Shoulders, Triceps and Chest.

Biceps Curl – Dre does Biceps curls on a regular basis, that’s why his guns (arms) are always in great shape.

Bench Press – Andre is known for his big upper body, and the chest is one of the best-developed body parts of his body. The reason for that lies in doing lots of bench press training with lower reps and a higher amount of weight on the barbell.

Andre suggests that these exercises should be implemented in each and every muscle-building program because that will provide the best possible results. Repetitions and series depend upon you, but it is suggested that each exercise should be done for no more than 4 sets of 6 to 12 repetitions.
