[music] What? Hey, everybody. It's Terry Crews from the new movie, the best action movie of the summer, "The Expendables" with Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Mickey Rourke, myself. It's gonna be great, and you might know me from the Old Spice commercials, and I'm glad to be here with Bodybuilding.com. Let me tell you something. You will never, ever, ever see a cast like this, ever in movie history. It's the Halley's Comet of action movies. I'm trying to say that your testosterone level will jump when you get in the theater. [gunshots and grunting] I play a guy, a guy by the name of Hale Caesar. Best movie name of all time, okay, who's a long-barrel weapons specialist. I'm passionate about my weapons. I have a gun that I literally call my girlfriend, you know what I mean? But that's my character. My specialty has always been my guns...you know what I mean? It's kind of like, that's my deal. And this is one reason why Sly put me in, is that he knew that I had the look, you know what I mean? It was like, the guy holding the gun, and a lot of military guys were like, "Wait a minute, he wouldn't wear anything sleeveless," but I was like, "Hey, man, this is a movie." Check that out. That's the gun show, baby. I'm here to show you an exercise that I do to get ready for most of my films and TV shows and projects, especially "The Expendables." It's called 24's, and basically it's 4 different exercises with 6 reps each, and I'm telling you, this thing will work your core. It works your shoulders. It works your lower body. You are totally done, and because you do so many reps, it's almost like a cardio workout. Let me show you. [music] The first exercise in the set of 24's is an upright row. I'm gonna show you how to do it...grip the weight. Make sure your grip is close together. Bend your knees, come up into it, sit in it, make sure you have your balance, and here we go. We're gonna lift the bar all the way to our chin...six reps of those. [music] And then we immediately widen our grip, and we go do six power cleans without banging it on the floor with metal weights. If you have some rubber weights, go ahead, but with the metal, you always gotta be conscious of the floor. So here we go. Gotta get down and explode on every jump, and we're gonna jerk when we get it up to the top... [music] Explosion is what it's all about. Make it come from your core and your hips. Then you set it and you do six reps. Right after those six power cleans, we close our stance a little bit and then hit a Romanian deadlift. You don't have to go past your knees. Just enough so you feel it in your back...You're working your back, and you should feel it in your hamstrings. [music] Now, directly from the Romanian deadlifts, we're gonna do six jump squats. Take it to a clean, get it up behind your back, rest it on your shoulder, and then you get down and explode right up into the air, keeping your back arched...Explosion. That's six. Bring it down. Hey, guys, as you can see, 24's has you winded pretty quickly, so you have to be careful. Make sure you start with very, very small weight. The whole thing, this is not about how much weight you have. It's about the explosion. Even if you start off with just the bar, that's real cool, man. As long as you get the movement and make it correct, and do all the reps in the sets, you will get burned. It's a wonderful thing. This is an exercise I do every time it's a shoulder day for me, especially with the jerk, and I started out with this so that now that my engine's running, I'll go right into my shoulder exercises and it's got me warm, it's got me ready, because your shoulders can be a really sensitive area. I work out very, very hard. My thing is to always be as hard and as cut as possible, you know, but within parameters. You don't want to be just, you know, just starving and have no strength, you know what I mean? And with a role like this, I knew it was gonna take a lot of energy, man. I mean, you know, just to get through the days and make the physical stuff work. My workout through the week is pretty much cardio every day. And I usually get on the treadmill and I'll do a half an hour at 7.0, which usually ends up with me running 3 and a half miles every day. Monday is a shoulder day, where I do power cleans. I work my shoulders. Tuesday is back day, where I just get everything regarding back. Wednesday is strictly cardio, and I usually double up my cardio that day. Sometimes I'll do 5 miles instead of 3.5 and then call it a day. Thursday is chest and arms, and then Friday is a big, big leg day. I go to endurance and heavy weight, so it's always a good balance of doing that. Get to the gym, consistency, always, and if you have to not do an exercise for a while, just leave it alone, but work on other things, you know what I mean? There's always something you can do. I train very, very hard. I train as if I'm still in the NFL in a lot of ways. I use a lot of NFL-style workouts, tons of power cleans, lots of explosive movement. Get up, apple in the morning just to wake you up, then I take my vitamins. Then I work out, I mean, pretty much on that. Then I hit a protein shake, like, right after the workout. And then about 2 hours later, I'll have some yogurt and granola, that kind of thing, and then for lunch, I usually get a salad. Chicken salad with the beans and the lettuce, no rice, no nothing like that, but with the meat and the whole thing. Then, I might grab another protein shake, and then for dinner, it's a good, like, chicken breast. I'm always adjusting, you know, whatever I see. It's always like some chicken breast you can grab, that whole thing for dinner, and I call it a day. I'm not opposed to having some bread, or some tortilla chips, and you know, because I really burn it off. I have a very, very active lifestyle. To be here and to be in this position and to watch, you know, yourself on screen, man, in the movies, it's great, man. It's like, man, it makes all those years and all that pain worth it. Anybody who trains knows it's 100% pain. It's kind of like the theme of this movie, you know? In "The Expendables," people try to retire you. I look at Stallone, man. They tried to put him out to pasture. They're like, "Dude, you're done. You did your thing. Now we gotta give it to somebody else, and, you know, you should be over." But you always have to come back. It's always about rebuilding. You always have to say, "I'm not going to stop." And the thing is, why? Why stop? I'm gonna never give up. I'm gonna always stay in shape. Forever, if you see me, I'll be the best-looking 90-year-old guy you've ever seen. That's my plan. [music] Let me tell you, for more content like this, you gotta go to Bodybuilding.com. It's the place to be, baby. "Expendables," August 13th, bam. [growling] [gunshots] [music]
