WhilePewDiePie's regimen might not be as intense as that of elite athletes or bodybuilders, what stands out is his unwavering daily commitment to fitness, something I've always emphasized in my training philosophy.

Here's a breakdown of PewDiePie's workout:

Rest and recovery are as crucial as the workouts themselves. Pewdiepie understands the significance of giving his muscles the much-needed downtime to repair and grow.

Beyond just designating days off from the gym, he incorporates specific recovery techniques. From foam rolling sessions that alleviate muscle tightness to meditation practices that rejuvenate the mind, Pewdiepie ensures a holistic approach to fitness.

His Workout Routine Equipment

From what I gathered watching PewDiePie's latest fitness video, he transitioned from working out in his garage to now setting up his equipment in the living room, reflecting a more central role of fitness in his daily life.

Furthermore, he places a mat on the floor before placing his single adjustable bench and uses a newer version of a power block, a dumbbell with adjustable weights.

PewDiePie exemplifies the modern fitness enthusiast by leveraging technology, such as smartwatches, fitness bands, and apps, to elevate his workout regimen and performance.

PewDiePie Workout Routine Principles

According to the PewDiePie workout explanation video, he is not in the habit of putting himself under too much pressure when working out, even with pull exercises.

However, PewDiePie's workout routine avoids making excuses for not working out on any given day, claiming that doing something is always preferable to doing nothing.

"Everyone's canvas is different, but it's what you do with it that matters."

- PewDiePie

He listens to music he enjoys to motivate himself to work harder, especially when doing weight lifting and working out his legs.

Also, it makes no difference to him whether he stays on top of his workouts as long as he remains consistent and keeps going with his pull exercises regardless of the circumstances.

What Does PewDiePie Diet Plan Consist Of?

Alongside PewDiePie's workout routine, PewDiePie's diet plan consists of foods high in protein, such as fish, chicken, and salmon. Also, he consumes foods that are a bit lower in carbohydrates, such as whole-grain foods, green vegetables, and natural sugar from fruit juices.

In most of his videos, PewDiePie appears to have a lean body mass, suggesting that he probably eats less junk food, sweets, and unhealthy fast food.

When it comes to alcohol, he now only drinks whiskey on rare occasions, and he makes sure to drink a lot of water during the day to avoid dehydration and improve his mood [1].

His Diet Principles

As he states in his videos on multiple occasions, lifting weights alone is not sufficient for fat loss and muscle growth.

So, he now consistently eats healthier foods and increases his protein intake because he wants to gain muscle mass and appear bulkier, as he used to be a skinny guy.

PewDiePie Supplements

PewDiePie being a gamer promotes and drinks an energy drink called G Fuel in his YouTube videos.

However, in the most recent PewDiePie workout review, he stated that he's taking pre-workout supplements to increase his energy, strength, and physical performance.

Since he intends to continue working out in the long run, he probably uses whey protein powders for muscle growth [2].
