Michael B. Jordan’s training to Adonis in Creed—and the upcoming Creed II—made him a real-life adonis. The December 2015 Men’s Fitness cover star transformed himself into a shredded machine to play the boxer in the latest movie from the Rocky series, and he hasn’t looked back since. Jordan clearly has learned a thing or two from working alongside Sylvester Stallone on the Creed series. Jordan has also shown he knows how to dress for success.
Jordan’s workout—which he detailed here—included a wide range of moves to help the actor add hard-rock muscle, including dumbbell kickbacks, bench dips, triceps pulldowns, dumbbell rows, barbell curls, and much more. Jordan’s style also includes plenty of sharp looking suits, as well as some very cool workout and casual outfits.
The workouts Jordan did for the film were wildly effective, and now he’s doing it again for some upcoming roles. The actor played the villain Erik Killmonger in Black Panther—and he got absolutely shredded once more for Creed 2. Jordan is no stranger to physical roles, with Creed, Friday Night Lights, The Wire, and Fantastic Four on his résumé. Fortunately, based on his Instagram—and his Creed workout—Jordan was more than ready to take on Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa in Black Panther, and now he’s facing off against Ivan Drago’s son in Creed 2.
Much like other stars like Vin Diesel, Kevin Hart, Henry Cavill, Nick Jonas, Joe Manganiello, and Scott Eastwood, Jordan is a fan of posting his workouts and his shredded physique on social media.
