The five-time All Star, former Hurler of the Year and All-Ireland champion takes no short-cuts in the gym.

Joe Canning was finally rewarded, last September, for a life-time of commitment towards Galway and hurling as he helped them to their first Liam MacCarthy Cup in 30 years.

Canning was the toast of the country after playing a key role in getting The Tribesmen over the line, on the way to and, at Croke Park. Even many of the gutted Waterford supporters would have not begrudged the 29-year-old his long-awaited triumph.

Canning has done us a solid by sharing his gym routine with four go-to exercises that have done wonders for him.

1: PULL-UPS

"It's good for your arms, your back and your chest"

2: HEX BAR DEADLIFT

Canning believes this exercises is great for adding power to your legs and helping with explosiveness, that sportspeople so often rely on.

3: WEIGHTED PUSH-UP

Like your regular push-ups but with some extra tin to shift.

4: RDLs [ROMANIAN DEADLIFT]

"The RDL is really good for hamstring strength. I use it quite a lot as I had a serious hamstring tendon injury last year and it is just good to keep the strength in my hamstrings."

They should certainly see you right.
