ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The final chapter in the trilogy.
Deadpool 3 is designed to forge a performance-ready physique that hits hard, moves well, and looks like it belongs in a superhero suit. Whether you’re a beginner easing in or a savage going full send, this program meets you where you are. This is the 2023 plan that completed the trilogy. If Deadpool 1 laid the foundation, and Deadpool 2 brought the heat, Deadpool 3 is the evolution. A 5-day training split hitting lower body and upper body twice per week ensures balanced development and sufficient volume for strength + hypertrophy.

👉 Beginners: Ease in, master the moves, build your foundation.
👉 Veterans: Unleash it. Crank the intensity. Train like the credits are rolling.


🛠️ PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Day 1: Lower Body

Focus on strength and mobility with dynamic hamstring mobilizations and hip airplanes. Progress to compound lifts like heels elevated goblet squats and RFESS (rear foot elevated split squats), while incorporating reverse lunges, squats, and calf raises to target all lower-body muscles for hypertrophy and endurance.
Day 2: Upper Body
Upper body strength is emphasized with exercises like dumbbell chest presses, glute bridge chest presses, and dumbbell pullovers. Incorporate functional movements like single-arm dumbbell overhead carries and scap push-ups, while focusing on shoulder development with dumbbell side raises and flys. Plyo push-ups add intensity to the pressing movements.
Day 3: Arms, Abs & Intervals
A blend of isolation exercises for arms and abdominal work, combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for cardiovascular conditioning. Tricep and bicep variations (cross-body extensions, curls, and kickbacks) are paired with abdominal movements, such as split stance chops, crunches, and side bends. Pick Your Poison intervals will challenge endurance and fat burning.
Day 4: Lower Body
A combination of mobility and strength training for lower body development. Exercises like swings, glute bridges, and dumbbell deadlifts focus on posterior chain strength, while leg press and walking lunges target quads and glutes for overall leg development.
Day 5: Upper Body
Target pressing power and pulling strength with exercises like alternating Arnold presses, dumbbell reverse flys, and inverted rows. Dumbbell bench presses, lat pulldowns, and push-ups build strength for chest, back, and shoulders. Dumbbell side raises and pullover work for shoulder and back stabilization.

Deadpool FAQs

  • Don has trained Ryan Reynolds since 2009. He trained him for all three Deadpool movies.

  • This is the first official Deadpool program that Don wrote in 2014 to help Ryan prepare for the role. Every other Deadpool program out there is just a guess at how he trained.

  • No—absolutely not! Deadpool 1, Deadpool 2, and Deadpool 3 were created in 2014, 2017, and 2023, respectively. Ryan didn’t complete them back-to-back; these were written years apart. Each program stands on its own and does not build on the previous one.

    In my opinion, Deadpool 2 is the most challenging. It follows a 6-day training split, which demands a high level of commitment.
