To play Earth’s most advanced soldier Master Chief in the live-action adaptation of Halo (streaming on Paramount+), Pablo Schreiber had to wear a 50-pound armor suit as he kicked alien ass for up to 14 hours a day. “Shooting was an incredibly grueling physical challenge,” he says. “You’re working out more and eating more than anyone would want to.” Here the 43-year-old shares the six gadgets that got him into action-hero shape.

Starter Bundle

Since turning 40, Schreiber has been incorporating more recovery and mobility exercises to his workouts to prevent injury from weightlifting. Enter this Halo-like contraption that strengthens his neck. “It can give your neck more size, and it also bulletproofs your upper spine from being able to withstand punishment.”

Pro 50 Adjustable Dumbbells

“Most adjustable dumbbells use mechanical knobs that can rust and get dirt in them,” Schreiber says. That’s why he loves these PowerBlocks, which have an easy-to-use pin to change weights and are built to last a lifetime. “They’re my go-to dumbbells.”

Shoulder Package

Schreiber stretches his shoulders with these cables to stave off aches and pains due to training. “They’ve really helped me stay in the game and have those bulletproof shoulders you need to not have down days.”

SkiErg

“It’s my favorite cardio and strength machine,” he says of this standing rower. “It gets you into a deep squat while you pull down on the ropes, so it’s really great for a full body workout.”

Cedar Barrel

This cedar barrel doubles as a cold plunge and hot tub. “Monday though Friday I’ll use it as a cold plunge after training,” Schreiber says. “On the weekends I turn it into a hot tub … I get a ton of use out of it.” (From $5,378)

PSO-RITE

Schreiber lays his stomach on this horse shoe-like contraption to relieve hip tension. “It accesses the psoas muscle,” he says. And after using it, “My back pain goes away immediately.”
