Chris Evans has been hitting the gym for nearly ten years now to get in shape to play the Star-Spangled Avenger, Captain America. The results have been pretty spectacular, with Evans' physique being perhaps the most impressive in the entire MCU (and that's really saying something, considering the cast he works with). With that much time spent figuring out how to best physically embody Cap, Evans and his trainer probably had a preferred method picked out once it was time to get ready for Infinity War. As it turns out, variety is the spice of life if you're trying to transform into Captain America.

Evans' routine doesn't play up any singular exercise over others. It's not a Crossfit workout, it doesn't focus on powerlifting or bodybuilding, and you don't see him forgoing all single-movement exercises in favor of Olympic lifting. Instead, Evans' workout routine consisted of a variety of exercises, ranging from body-weight movements like pull-ups to weighted ones like classic bicep curls. He incorporated kettlebells pretty heavily as well. The most surprising thing about his workouts is just how approachable they are. Sure, they're going to be a little intense for anyone who's never done them, and you won't get to be as big as Cap without plenty of clean eating to go with it, but Evans' workout can probably be done on your own at your local gym.
