Justin Bieber’s workout routine is all about his upper body. “We all want impressive chest and arms,” Bieber told Newsday, during his recent tour in Asia. And for the pop star’s trainer, it’s all about adding more size to Bieber’s 5-foot-9, 137-pound frame. “Justin was about 120 pounds when we started,” said personal trainer Patrick Nilsson. “I want to put at least 20 more pounds on him.” Nilsson, who’s been training Bieber full time since September 2012, built a workout center inside the 19-year-old’s Southern California home, where the two focus on sculpting Bieber’s body. “I was more excited than anything,” Nilsson told Newsday in an exclusive coast-to-coast interview. “This is what every personal trainer wants -- to train someone like Justin.” Nilsson, 29, who was born in Sweden and holds a bachelors degree in kinesiology, began training Bieber after the two were connected through the pop star’s manager. Bieber was Nilsson’s first celebrity client. Whether on tour or at Bieber’s home gym, the duo train together five times a week, approximately 40 minutes per session. During their training sessions, they target mainly what Nilsson describes as “meat and potato exercises,” involving compound movements which train more than one muscle group at a time. Bieber generally performs 12 total sets per body part, four sets per exercise, with 8-12 (sometimes 12-15) repetitions per set. Shaping the Canadian-born pop star’s upper-body is a priority. “His chest and shoulders -- we need to build those up,” Nilsson explained. “It’s all about looks.” (I found that on a website btw I thought you might like to read that :D) ~bieberswaggybaby
