Watch Brie Larson and Pro Wrestler Tegan Nox Do a Marvel-ous Upper-Body Dumbbell Workout

Brie Larson [1] officially has a brand new home gym fit for a superhero, and she's using it to get moving before Captain Marvel 2 [2] filming commences — she calls it her "Captain Marvel gym." Professional wrestler Tegan Nox [3] from the WWE is one of Larson's first (virtual) guests to work out with her — and it's a session that's all about the upper body.

Watch, or follow along, as Nox leads the actress through some mobility exercises to warm up — scap push-ups and seated face pulls with a band, for example — and then shares the meat of the weighted arm workout. There are shoulder-heavy moves like seated overhead presses and a combination split into forward circles, backward circles, and half shoulder raises. Glute bridge floor presses focus on the chest, and iso dynamic bent-over rows and regular bent-over rows target the back muscles. Nox ends with bicep curls and triceps kickbacks.

Fun fact: Nox's wrestling gear [4] is actually based off of Captain Marvel's costume! "The thing that has just broken my heart open the most has been how many different kinds of people respond to Carol [Danvers]," Larson tells Nox, adding, "Seeing you wrestle with the star was why I chose to do the movie because I was like, 'I want to work really hard to create a symbol that other people can take and wear and feel power in.'"
