He’s glad he did when playing Paxton Hall-Yoshida in Never Have I Ever<\/a>, and his sculpted abs certainly helped his popularity in the show\u2019s shipping wars (Daxton fans were robbed!). Barnet was also eager to pop his top when he took Men\u2019s Health through the workout he did while filming season 11 of NBC\u2019s Chicago Med.<\/p>\n As Dr. John Frost, a pediatric emergency medicine resident at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, Barnet doesn\u2019t have many opportunities to go shirtless; it’s more of a scrubs are mandatory situation. Still, Barnet makes sure to keep up with his workouts, and not just to look good when a role demands he take off his shirt. He’s more invested in the mental health benefits he feels when he gets moving in the midst of a hectic filming schedule.<\/p>\n \u201cA 12-hour shoot day and then going to the gym, it\u2019s not easy,\u201d he tells MH. \u201cBut I regret when I don\u2019t and I notice a difference mentally.\u201d His focus is on consistency and regular movement. If Barnet can\u2019t make it to a gym, he\u2019s not opposed to switching up his strength training and adding in calisthenics<\/a> (bodyweight routines) he can do anywhere.<\/p>\n \u201cDo something. Just get moving,\u201d he says. \u201cBut if you can\u2019t make it the whole way through, try but don\u2019t punish yourself for it.\u201d<\/p>\n Check out the full clip for the workout Barnet uses to keep himself mentally sharp\u2014and be ready to go for any future shirtless scene. In the video, he also discusses his PR in pullups and his honest thoughts on ego lifting.<\/p>\n Darren Barnet’s Full Body WorkoutBarbell Bench Press<\/p>\n 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps<\/p>\n Weighted Pull Ups<\/p>\n 3 sets of max reps<\/p>\n Cable Rows<\/p>\n 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps<\/p>\n Dumbbell Hammer Curls<\/p>\n 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps<\/p>\n Reverse Lunge to Knee Drive<\/p>\n 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps per side<\/p>\n Cable Pull Apart<\/p>\n 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps<\/p>\n Triceps Extensions<\/p>\n 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps<\/p>\n Want more celebrity workout routines?
