How does the actor get ripped for his role as a cop in Chicago P.D.? The former child actor reveals that takes a lot of physical training and vigorous workout routine on his part. “I’m playing a cop in Chicago. So I have to look beefier—like a guy who eats steak and potatoes,” he said. How does he achieve this? He said: “I’ve been doing a lot of deadlifting and squatting for overall strength. And then I push a sled on a huge turf track at the end of the workouts. It’s brutal!”

Being candid about his routine, he explained: “You’re doing 10 sets of a few different exercises, 10 reps each, but at lower weights. Right now I’m doing a 5/10/15 program where I start off going heavy for five reps. On the next exercise, I do 10 reps at a medium weight, and then by the end of this superset, I’m on 15 reps of light weight. I can barely get through it.”
