In this video, I return to the themed "character" videos with a Kratos workout!
Kratos has the physique of a bodybuilder and the strength of a powerlifter/strongman. He exerts this power in an extremely functional manner: wrestling monsters, pulling sleds, and launching his axe.
As you guys know, I like to combine training modalities in unique ways. This way, we can build a routine to emulate pretty much any physique or skillset. My take on a Kratos workout, is to use a "powerbuilding" structure by combining heavy lifts with lighter, higher-rep work. But rather than using powerlifting and bodybuilding, we're going with a slightly more "functional" approach.
Not to say that powerlifting isn't functional, of course! Simply, that we're using tools that are more commonly associated with functional training. Tools like kettlebells and Bulgarian bags... but also logs, rocks, and even cars.
This Kratos workout is less like powerbuilding, then, and more like "strongman high intensity functional training." But that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue...
Hope you enjoyed this God of War workout, gang! It was hotly requested.

I started making videos. What do you think about the ones I made? I’m new to UA-cam and I want to reach 1.000
can tell this is going to be another hit,I've been meaning to ask you,are you planning on doing a video around creating a physique as athletic,strong and functional as the Master Chief? Would much appreciate it,there's alot you can do with the information around him as well.
You have no idea how long i waited for this video
I'm a long time fan of this channel.
I think that Kratos could have benefited from a longer video, going over some aspects that I think this one missed
Those being:
1) Throwing-specific training. All that powerbuilding won't necessarily translate into a better throw with the Leviathan Axe
2) Combat training: I think there are three aspects to Kratos's fighting, those being weapon combat, wrestling, and boxing. I would have loved to see that explored in more depth.
What we got was powerbuilding with some more functional aspects.
The program is nice. Maybe include some more instructions on how to scale it down - eg the pull up/push up reps are pretty high, I don't know if most people can do that many.
Hi bioneer, what are your 1 rep max in the deadlift, back barbell squat, Barbell shoulder press and bench press?
Man you really didn't compromise for your mate's balls. That was a death grip.
lmaoooo
It was the only way we could get the press to work 😢 #crotchgrabforthewin
All about digit positioning, serious and practical. But ooh er missus!
It you are afraid to be hurt, don't live. Or maybe, tell your mate how to grab you, sadism might be 🤷🏽♂️
@@grantstevensma A press using the back perhaps? just looking out for your future and safety
I want to pick up bridges and left hook titans.
So do i
@@nakainorelation4001 You are not ready boy.
@@Darkal_ we're gods... We can do whatever. we. Want.
Sounds great
And flip temples
4:30 the friend lift is an awesome exercise! lol Thank you for putting your balls at risk Grant, we'll never forget your sacrifice.
HAHAHAHAH
"Instead of lifting heavy weights in the gym you can *lift a friend directly from the crotch*"
I immediately came to the comments to see if anyone noticed what I did. He’s giving him the prison treatment.
yo that press is straight up violation :D
It got way intimate 😂😂
When he was lifting his buddy overhead and the sun was shining through the trees, I feel was a missed opportunity to play the song from Dirty Dancing. Lol
😂😂
@@TheBioneer Adam can you do a video about Hanma Yuujiro from Baki
heh,he got a good grip on that groin area as well.
I’ve. Had . The time of my life……
Man even just the footage you've captured is motivating in and of itself. I think a montage of you walking around the woods swinging hammers and fighting Grant with some background music would make anyone wanna lift some weights!! Another great one, as always I appreciate you making these videos!
Facts
Boring
That “friend lift”, now I just need the “friend throw”… true god powers
6:04 love how you are starting to do that. Giving us a complet guide with reps and sets !
“It means if you want to LOOK like a god you better start picking things up and putting them down again.”😂
That buddy lift brought a tear to my eye. Does anyone know if this guy is at his biggest?🍷
Crushed it. 😵
Yeah pretty sure he’s never been this big
The handful lift lol
You don't know how much i've been waiting for you to cover this one, i was so excited when i was this video in my recomendations
Lets go, I was literally searching this up the other day to see if you had done a kratos one, glad to see it's here now.
Inspiring stuff. I love how you are often in nature and outside, not in some stuffy gym, at least for the videos. It's homely, earthy and refreshing.
Yes!! I've been waiting for this!
There are a lot of fitness channels on UA-cam but yours is definitely one of my favorites. It is very creative and unique plus I always leave with new knowledge and ideas for my own training.
I have been waiting for this one for a very long time now. Thank you so much and keep up the great work. Coincidentally, I just started playing God Of War 2018 a few hours ago.
As per usual, fantastic quality and like others have said here, just the captured footage is inspiring as hell! I'm sure Grant was wearing a cup, but if not, thanks for taking one for the team! He is a true partner in crime fighting.
I love the quality of your video. It lookis like a movie. Keep up the great job.
Reminds me of the kind of training Tom Haviland do. Odd lifts, endurance work, strength, hypertrophy and that kind of awesome stuff. Great video Adam!
i was looking for this man thank you !!!
I've been waiting for a video like this
Kratos is fine, but we all want to be Mimir; dude is totally ripped.
You mentioned around 0:45 that it is canon that Kratos lifts heavy weights to build his physique and there is a logical reasoning to it. Unlike scrawny Baldur, Kratos was born a normal human who was granted deific status as the story progressed. Baldur's strength comes from his lineage, and same goes for Atreus.
Basically as a spartan and a general - he relied upon human strength to win in war.
Wasn't he a Demigod originally though?
Gotta love the loose use of “canon”, you know, as in canonical (from the written myth). In the greek mythology (the real canon), Kratos is already a god (actually a full blood titan) as he is the personification of strength.
@@rashakor didn't know that, thanks
I don't have any friends to lift, so just grabbed the nearest passer-by and started repping.
We'll never forget grant's sacrifice 🛐🙏
Awesome Workout friend!
I love this channel man. I have following you for quite a few years now, and you have not aged my man. The older you get, the better you look. You’re knowledge and intuition goes in to that as well as you know. Keep it up!
WOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE BAYBEEEE
Me too
These are the kind of workouts i like
Man I was just about to comment the Bulgarian Bag on one of your other videos!
Great job 👏🏾
That kind of video is why I love this channel. Just as for the video with Geralt, out of a sort of silly question, there is a serious answer :)
RIP Grant's groin 😫😀😅
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
My man shoulder pressed a whole human being
Could you do Chris Redfield, I want to be able to punch boulders.
love both yours and jaxblades videos and the commentary between the both of you
Thanks for the nice feedback.

To replicate swinging Kratos' impressive axe, I would suggest the Macebell, or Steel Mace. They come in different weights, but all have long handles. Can also be swung at tires to simulate attacking or chopping wood.
Really nice form on the benchpress.. awesome dude
Thanks for the nice feedback.

Great video
I mean squats are functional haha but doing a keg sandbag or Atlas Stone lift is more functional than a deadlift and of course doing any sort of floor press is much more functional than a bench press because the only time you'll ever be on your back with your feet below the level of your back is if you were fighting somebody at the top of a stairwell. I train everything really
Love it!!!
Boy ... This is 🔥
Sad to see bio not getting as mutch views on this one as some of hsi bigger hiits,either way the editing and filming work is excellent!
Fantastic and fresh content. However, I think pressing a stranger overhead would be a better core workout.
The mighty bioneer helping men to gain the powers of the old God's.
This workout should be helpful the next time I'm preparing to battle mythical creatures. Thanks!
Great video. Thanks
Excellent
Great workout man.

Nice timing while I'm slowly progressing through Ragnarok. 😀
Damn - that’s one GOOD friend!
This was the exact 'train like' I always wished for... I just didn't know it
Good stuff 👍
Powerbuilding? That has my interests peeked. It might just be what I'm looking for. Thanks for the info.
Would love to see another JaxBlade and Bioneer podcast at some point 😁
Could also include battle ropes to simulate the Blades of Chaos! He even has a move in Ragnarok where he flicks the chain to cause a cascading explosion like with battling ropes. High strength endurance output required. Plus it's in the name BATTLE ropes.
Good physics, nice lower chest
These exercises are general exercises that can be done in the gym, but as I can see, there are also some exercises specifically for boxers
Jus beat the game today so this is perfect
Great video, loved the cinematography. Often I find I start moving while watching- pushups or bar hangs, something that allows me to still hear and watch. Thank you.
Unsure if this is the best place for suggestions, but would you consider Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn? She definitely exercises mind with body, and arguably is well-rounded, needing strength, speed, and agility.
Loads of great ideas.
PS your traps are looking ridiculous!
Great video boi
I swear some day I'm going to start doing all of these workouts in order xD
Great video! Would be cool to see this for other fictional characters too. I would be interested in seeing how a Geralt of Rivia workout would look like. **Edit** Just checked the channel and looks like you've already done one haha
You and grant are like Kratos and boy haha
A Thor's hammer kettlebell. Why haven't I heard of this before they look awesome. I need one.
Great video (as always)! I think the warping of some of the footage was caused by IBIS being on whilst the camera is also on a gimbal. Keep up the great work, videos are definitely getting better and better!
Oh thanks, that's really useful to know!
Great video!!
Thanks for the nice feedback.

I heavily agree with your take on this. Seems particularly very "real world" functional, as you do need varying aspects of strength, but not some huge amount that hits in every possible thing you'd see in your life. It's just a very balanced (as per usual for Bioneer) discipline that covers a laborous and long term naturalist approach, as well as more specific things for weapon control that Kratos himself would need (this type of description applies to every BN video, really, but it's always worth pointing out)
Yeah there really is a massive difference between weight that’s offset versus a gym machine that’s perfectly balanced there’s so many muscles that body builders neglect because the focus on only certain muscle groups for looks rather than functionality not that is wrong to want to look good
@@sporkcunt8100
Yes. Even a lot of free weight movements go in a fairly strict path. With a truly free thing, it really opens more things up that should be moving
i often find, that machines and barbells over long term, increase my strength
but they also make me feel much more akward to move... Real interesting imo
A leisurely walk through a fall forest can become an intense God of War training sessions. Cool.
I clicked like before I watched this one! 😊😊
You should do one of these for gutts from berserk
Kratos the BallCrusher!
Really cool take, I am playing through Ragnarök, looking forward to seeing this video (Commenting before)!
Thanks for the nice feedback.

Finally!
Adam!!!! I've been asking for years!!!! Can you please do Predator training!!!!! Agility, parkour, tendon work, etc.
I'd like to develop thermal vision please
@@MrFredd38 exactly!!!!
Looks like a cool program
I kind of naturally moved onto a powerbuilding type routine. So when I lift, 1/2-2/3 of my session is big compound exercises at lower rep ranges, along with some running specific leg stuff (single and double leg Romanian deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats, etc) then if I have time I do some upper body pump work because it makes me feel and look good.
Loving the tash set the trend
No need to have your top off! It's still winter
Your Bane workout remains my favourite video. Perhaps time for a revisit?
Man, you've got one REALLY good friend to let you pick up him by the giggleberries like that.
The Adam and Grant bromance is the ship that my Bioneer headcanon is crying out for 😂
What a great woodland with all that kit in👌🤣
Damn when you pressed Grant it looked like you were going full Bane and about to break him.
Adam,
The god of bioneer!
Awesome
I assume you could make a replacement of the hammer by putting weight on one end of a dumbell. Provided that you have access to adjustable dumbells of course.
4:35 Bioneer and boi 😆
I think a zoro workout would be very interesting as he does lots of swinging exercises to train his sword skills
Adam sinicki a fitness guru
I would LOVE a how to train like a pro wrestler episode, but based off of Jun Sekibatashi from Kenga Ashura
Hi the Bioneer. Wonderful training techniques and ideas here. I'm a big fan of yours. I hope the book is as good? (I've just ordered it). Cheers :).
I gotta get me those Hammer weights!!!
After the Doom Marine and Batman you finally completed the trilogy of gigachads. Thank you sir!
Have you considered doing a kick up tutorial? You do that move in some of your videos, but I have always struggled replicating the movement.
that hand placement at the friend overhead tho...
Brandon from Buff Dudes did in fact play Kratos in one of the GOW trailers. True story. So there's one example to build a physique of Kratos.
