Harshvardhan Rane’s workout routine
The session begins with resistance band exercises for triceps activation, focusing on controlled movement and joint stability before progressing into heavier compound work. He then moves into double-row variations using weights to strengthen his upper and mid-back, a key requirement for action choreography and stunt performance. This is followed by overhead shoulder movements designed to improve mobility and build shoulder endurance.
The workout intensifies further with overhand extended back pulls and dumbbell-based rowing variations, targeting deeper lat engagement and improving pulling strength. Harshvardhan also performs dumbbell shrugs to strengthen the trapezius muscles, enhancing neck and upper-back stability.
In the caption, the actor explained why he couldn’t travel to Mumbai for structured gym training, citing over 5 hours of daily commute. Instead, he requested his trainer to set up a functional training zone on location, embracing a no-excuses approach despite limited infrastructure during the shoot.
He even added a playful scientific twist to his fitness routine, referencing Newton’s Second Law of Motion and writing: “F = m x a,” linking force, mass, and acceleration to his strength-driven training philosophy.
Harshvardhan further shared lighter moments from the set, joking about his daily routine: “Vit D from Sunlight, Vit B from Breakfast, and Vit F from Force3,” while posting another clip of himself having a simple outdoor breakfast, relaxing between training and shoot schedules.
