Dolph Lundgren aka Ivan Drago reveals his back training at 68!

Actor Dolph Lundgren is not slowing down even as he approaches 70. He recently shared his "rigorous" 30-minute back workout that keeps him in shape even at 68.

Dolph Lundgren is one of the most distinctive action stars ever to appear on the silver screen. His breakthrough role came in 1985 when he portrayed the menacing Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. In addition, he rose to fame with roles in films such as Masters of the Universe, Red Scorpion, and The Expendables franchise.

Over the years, his dedication to fitness has become his top priority. He has trained with legends such as seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger at Gold's Gym in Venice. But his journey has not been without obstacles - in 2015, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer. After careful treatment, he announced in 2024 that he was finally cancer-free. In light of these health issues, he is taking his longevity more seriously than ever as he gets older.

Lundgren's approach is all about efficiency. His workouts last 30 minutes a day, focusing on one specific muscle area each morning before breakfast.

"I finished my back workout. It's part of my holiday program, which is about 30 minutes a day in the morning before breakfast. I'm trying to shorten everything, go more strict and focus on just one muscle group each day," Lundgrenexplained .

Here's a breakdown of his current back workout:

1. Single Arm Cable Rows - 4 sets of 10 reps
2. Lat Pulldowns - 4 sets of 10 reps
3. Chest-Supported Rows - 4 sets of 10 reps
4. Finisher: Shadow Boxing and Stretching

Lundgren stressed the importance of working out, even if you're short on time or on the road: 'Anything is better than nothing when it comes to staying in shape. Especially when traveling."

Dolph shows that even at an advanced age and after serious health problems, it is possible to find time for the gym and maintain health and vitality.
