“The good thing about Cap is that most of his abilities are rooted in what a human being is capable of – he’s not flying, he’s not shooting fire,” Evans told MTV News. “The stunts involved were hand-to-hand combat, so any time I can put the gloves on and get in the ring, I’ll do it.”

Evans appears to have been expressive about his initial reluctance to carry out the role, stating the difficulty in investing in such a high-profile role for what had been at first likely to be nine movies. “nine-picture commitment and it dropped down to six. If all of a sudden my passion changed, if I wanted to write or direct, or leave the career – go live in the mountains, get married, have kids, lead a normal life – you can’t,” he told PopSugar. “I just wasn’t 100 percent positive that my end game was to be a gigantic movie star.”

Making use of the final decision made, the pounds increased, the stunts accomplished, and Captain America: The First Avenger, hitting theaters 22nd of July, there isn’t any turning back. ” All the time is something you can’t conceptualize until it happens, and once you’re there, you can’t turn it off,” Evans said. “There’s no rewind.”

Chris Evans in the past performed another super hero role in the Fantastic Four movies, Johnny Storm, aka, The Human Torch. He appeared to be rather fit for that role however trying to play Steve Rogers, ultra soldier, demanded a Captain America style workout which in fact had him build muscle just a little to around 20 pounds of muscle mass.

Chris did an impressive exercise routine to get ready for performing a super soldier.

Chris wasn’t looking for the bulky legs and thunder thighs associated with a extreme body builder however he definitely needed to increase real muscle bulk to his upper body for this role.

So his program wouldn’t be the standard one you’d see bodybuilders engaged in with lots of hefty leg work like squats.

Whenever you’re attempting to build muscular mass, you do NOT need to workout two hours daily! That’s insane! You will get an effective mass building routine in 30 to 45 minute to an hour per day max.

A great technique to accomplish this is with a bodyweight exercise routine, something Chris has already established success with in the past. And two phenomenal workouts for really serious upper body like Chris demonstrates in “Captain America” is performing pull ups and also dips. These two exercises alone work your whole upper body.

A great idea about movies like this it bring awarness to people that they need to look after their own body and inspires people to take up exercise and get fit.

Chris Evans has uncovered the fact that his particular exercise routine for Captain America nearly made him sick.

He revealed that while he normally enjoys working out,however the demanding training essential for Captain America was “brutal”.

“I normally enjoy exercising. Going into it sucks, but walking out, you’re like, ‘I’m glad I have done that!’” Evans explained.

Evans proceeded to go on to point out the fact that his dietary limitations ended up being actually worse than the workouts.

“Working out sucked, eating sucked more,” Evans said. “You get to a point where you just can’t even look at another piece of chicken. You’re just so bloated, but you just have to keep consuming protein, so that was tricky.”

Captain America movie director Joe Johnston referred to Evans as the ideal actor to play the eponymous super hero, expressing that he provides many characteristics with the Marvel Comics figure.

Captain America: The First Avenger opens in movie theaters on July 21st in Australia, July 22nd US and July 29 in the UK
