Despite all the controversy and rumors that surround the Top G, Andrew Taint Tate (whoops), there are still many interested in his workout, diet, and overall fitness lifestyle.
In the early 2010s, Andrew has rated the second-best light-heavyweight kickboxer in the world, so he definitely knew his way around a training ground.
Let’s have a deeper look at Andrew Tate’s workout routine.
About the Creator – Andrew Tate
Before we get started, let’s make one thing clear. Neither I nor Noob Gains endorse any public statements made by Andrew Tate. We’re only interested in his training, diet, and fitness lifestyle.
Right! So, as we mentioned in the intro, Andrew was — in fact — a professional kickboxer. Kickboxing is quite a physically demanding sport and certainly isn’t for the faint of heart.
Andrew originally started boxing and doing other forms of martial arts back in 2008 (he’s no modern-day Bruce Lee, though). Tate fought as a cruiserweight and a light heavyweight, using the Southpaw stance.
While he was a kickboxer when he lived in England, he wasn’t born in the United Kingdom. He was actually born in Washington D.C. but moved to the UK after his parents divorced. He learned how to play chess at a young age, seeing as his father was a chess champion.
Andrew won his first championship in Derby by winning the British ISKA Full Contact Cruiserweight Championship in 2009. He was then ranked first in his division in Europe. He continued to fight for many years after, scoring various wins along the way.
Andrew Tate’s record stands at 85 total kickboxing fights, of which 76 were wins (23 by knockout) with just 9 losses. He also dabbled in MMA, winning 2 of the 3 fights he competed in.
From there, Andrew transitioned into being a social media influencer and moved to Romania in 2017.
Andrew Tate Overview
The one thing we need to understand about Andrew Tate is that, compared to literally every single other celebrity we’ve covered, Tate is (well, was) a fighter, like Tom Hardy’s character in Warrior.
Fighters train for performance and will rarely (if ever) touch heavy weights in the conventional fashion. Thus, we need to understand that his current workout routine is very different from what his routine was in his boxing days.
When trying to find his old routine, you’ll struggle to find any real information because he was coached. In other words, all of his workouts could look massively different. So we’ll cover a normal kickboxing workout that Andrew most likely did, but we’ll also cover his current routine.
When looking at his current routine, we can make the following conclusions:
Fitness level: Beginner to intermediate Duration: No time limit Workouts per week: 4 – 6 Average workout duration: 45 minutes Equipment needed: Minimal equipment Goal: Build muscle mass
* For someone who’s as socially active as Mr. Tate, there really isn’t a lot of information out there about his current workout routine. That said, we’ll be basing this information on what was done in this video posted to YouTube.
Andrew Tate Workout Schedule & Details
As mentioned, there isn’t a lot to learn about Andrew’s current fitness routine. We also have to understand that he’s transitioned from a fighter to an influencer, and he probably doesn’t spend the same amount of time in the gym as he once did.
We can learn a few things from what has been said on social media, though. For instance, Tate is a huge advocate of bodyweight exercises, like the humble push-up, which he says he does every day.
“I don’t train in the gym too often. I do 500-1,000 push-ups a day. Whenever I’m on the computer, I set myself a little target. So I’m on the computer, every few minutes I’ll drop and do as many push-ups as I can.”
Now, the push-up is a great exercise in its own right. It builds upper body strength while training the core, chest, shoulders, and triceps. For many of us, it’s the first thing we do on our fitness journey. This is also in line with Tate’s physique.
Of course, Andrew Tate isn’t the biggest guy in the room — his weight is only 204 lbs (93kg) at 6’1’’ (1.9m). Those in the know will know this is actually quite light for someone his height.
We’ll discuss this more when talking about his diet, but for now, we can say with certainty that Andrew does seem to rely on (or at least prefer) training like a fighter more than a bodybuilder.
With that in mind, he did share a short workout in a video:
Andrew Tate Weight Workout
Bench Press – 3 sets x 6 – 8 reps Pull-Ups (wide-grip) – 3 sets x 6 – 8 reps V-Bar Dips – 3 sets x 6 – 8 reps
This is a really short workout, and that’s, unfortunately, all there is to find about his current workout routine, but it’s still a decent workout. There’s a complete omission of leg movements, which is somewhat understandable, seeing as fighters do need fast legs above big legs.
Andrew has also shifted to a workout routine that’s more focused on size and aesthetics, which is why he does shorter, more intense workouts that are definitely more focused on weights rather than fitness.
Andrew Tate Boxing Workout
What would an Andrew Tate kickboxing workout even look like?
* Note: This is not Andrew’s actual kickboxing workout. It’s just a representation of what it could have looked like.
Any kickboxing workout will include 10 – 20 minutes of jab and kick work. For aerobic stamina, it might include cardio exercises like jogging and cycling. For anaerobic stamina, it might include fighting, burpees, jumps, and other high-intensity interval training (HIIT) movements.
Most kickboxing workouts will either be focused on the actual fighting or the fitness aspect. Since Andrew also dabbled in MMA, there would’ve also been workouts where he only focused on grappling and other techniques.
How Many Push-Ups Does Andrew Tate Do a Day?
As mentioned, it depends on his workout routine and how much time he spends in front of the PC — since he does most of his push-ups there. That said, Andrew Tate does between 500 and 1000 push-ups on a daily basis.
Andrew Tate Diet Plan
Looking at pictures and videos of Andrew Tate smoking cigars and drinking various kinds of spirits, you’re surely thinking that Andrew’s diet isn’t up to standard when it comes to contemporary athletes.
And you’d be right, according to him.
In a video blog with Mike Thurston, Tate described his diet as “crap” and had the following to say, “You’ll be OK if you eliminate sugar from your diet and consume everything else.”
Now, we’ll be the first to admit that there’s some truth to his idea of cutting sugar. While sugar itself isn’t the culprit behind obesity or fat gain, foods higher in sugar usually tend to be less nutritious and unhealthy in general.
Andrew Tate goes on to add, “Bro, meal preparation, KFC. My diet is not very good. But I believe it is because I worked out so hard when I was younger. You create a foundation and can’t lose it if you’re not an idiot.”
At other times, Tate has mentioned his affinity for two dieting protocols:
Tate seems to prefer the idea of fasting, and he’s publicly said that “Breakfast, in my opinion, is the worst thing that has ever happened to humanity. You will devour a lot of food you don’t have to hunt for when you wake up.” Tate has also mentioned that he had a lot of success with the carnivore diet and lost a lot of body fat whilst only eating meat, specifically red meat.
However, fasting has never been proven to be more effective for burning fat, and when you think about the fact that muscles require amino acids (throughout the day since amino acids cannot be stored), fasting isn’t actually good for building muscle. However, there certainly isn’t anything wrong with fasting.
The carnivore diet has also never been shown to be more effective than a calorie-restrictive diet for fat loss. The only advantage it might have is the fact that you’ll always have enough protein, but then again, you lack fiber…
That said, Tate has loosely been quoted to say that up to 85% of his total calories come from meat. This would mean that most of his calories (50% plus) come from protein, and surely that must be bad for the kidneys, right?
Not really. A study published in 2016 found that even if you follow a diet that calls for more than 3 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (>1.4 grams per pound) for a year, there weren’t actually any negative effects. Kidney function was perfectly fine, and lipid levels were completely normal.
When combining this study with another that was published in 2014 — which showed diets like these lead to more fat loss compared to their lower protein counterparts — it would make sense that Tate is able to maintain his lean muscle despite living an extravagant lifestyle.
Andrew Tate Fasting
As you read above, Andrew seems to love the idea of fasting. Or rather, he seems to dislike the idea of breakfast. This basically just means his lunch is his breakfast since the word breakfast literally means “breaking the fast.”
2 Pros of Andrew Tate’s Workout Routine
Despite being super concrete, it’s also something that can be done quickly. So if you’re someone with various jobs or family members that you need to look after, this kind of workout routine is perfect for you, seeing as the time it would take to complete it is very little. It’s still in line with how a fighter would work out, as there is a complete omission of leg workouts, and most of the movements will directly translate to a better fighting experience.
2 Cons of Andrew Tate’s Workout Routine
It’s incredibly primitive. It doesn’t hit all muscle groups (there are no leg exercises), the reps don’t seem to change, and there are only three exercises. I understand that he’s not giving us the full program, but the idea that this is a full workout is a bit silly. The diet plan is equally primitive and isn’t really based on science. While there’s no doubt it could work, there isn’t any real science to back any of the claims made or support the decisions he makes regarding nutrition.
Andrew Tate Workout Routine Conclusion
Now, there’s no denying that Andrew Tate was a skilled fighter in his day, and he was really fit when he was a fighter. His training has since evolved after he became an influencer, and the focus has now shifted from fighting and fitness to size and aesthetics.
The workout he follows now (or the parts he shared with the world) is pretty decent and certainly something you can follow if you’re in a pinch, but this isn’t a real workout routine. As a single workout, it’s alright — but certainly not something to write home about.
(except for this article…)
The diet advice Andrew Tate gives, such as “fasting” and following a diet in line with the carnivore diet, isn’t really that incorrect. However, his experience does not necessarily mean it’s what we’ll all experience when following those tips.
You should take all the fitness and diet advice he gives with a grain of salt. It isn’t meant to be followed to the T but rather for you to find which parts work for you and which do not. From there, you can create your own plan that helps you reach your own fitness goals.
Again, what works for the Top G of Instagram won’t necessarily work for you and me.
