Picture this: Michael B. Jordan. Now picture Michael B. Jordan [1] working out surrounded by the Caribbean paradise that is St. Barts. In a new cover story for the April issue of Men's Health, Michael B. Jordan discusses his relationship with Lori Harvey [2], his duty as a Black man in Hollywood, and his new film Without Remorse, out April 30, in which he stars as a Navy SEAL. In a video accompanying the feature, the actor gives the world an inside look at one of his workouts — and it's all kinds of intense (he also, apparently, does an aquatic session that involves walking underwater with a lava stone, as mentioned in the intro of the Men's Health story [3]).

As seen above, Jordan completes some fasted cardio [4] in the morning by swimming laps. It's a warmup before his 10-to-one dumbbell ladder workout (10 reps of each move, nine reps of each move, all the way down to one) that consists of bicep curls, overhead push presses, and bent-over rows. Then, he does three sets of 10 to 12 ball slams [5], a true full-body move, and three sets of battle ropes [6] for 30 seconds each and finishes with some meditation to clear his mind for the day ahead.

"You can't skip any steps," Jordan says of training for his role as a Navy SEAL. "To transform myself physically and mentally was the goal." He revealed that he trained with veterans, and then transitioned straight into a continued workout regimen for the upcoming Creed 3. It's safe to say he's doing a phenomenal job!
