Incredible Hulk Training: Superhero Program Straight From The Trenches!
First and foremost the Hulk would start the day, like any good dedicated bodybuilder with a good hearty breakfast, 100 egg whites to get a good protein buzz and put his body into a positive nitrogen balance, along with 20,000 grams of oatmeal. He would then bounce his way to the local gym where he would begin his weekly workout plan with some lat pulldowns.
Using two warm-up sets and 4 working sets with rep ranges between 6 and 8 with 10,000 lbs for that true mass-building feel. Once warmed up he would then move onto the next exercise, the hardcore bodybuilders favorite, bent over rows, again keeping the reps down to 6's and 8's using upwards of 20 - 25,000 lbs to remain in that mass-building zone.
Then to finish his incredible back workout, he would move onto one-arm rows, where he used his purpose built dumbbells weighing in at 15,000 lbs each.
I heard a rumor from bodybuilding paparazzi Isaac Hinds (who allegedly did a photo shoot during one of these workouts, and we are yet to see the pics - what's the deal with that Isaac?) that written on the dumbbells was "Hulks Weights" just to let Jay Cutler know who exactly was throwing around this type of poundage!
Post workout - to prevent muscle breakdown from excelling past muscle synthesis, Hulk took full advantage of the "window of opportunity" by consuming 5 lbs of his favorite whey protein mixed with 2 gallons of water and 1 lb of creatine and glutamine - he likes them creamy!
Following his muscle-building protein surge, Hulk would then move onto his favorite hibachi steak house where he would have 10 lbs of filet steak, 2 lbs of steamed rice and 3 lbs of steamed broccoli (to maintain his green complexion).
He then returned to his home where he would consume another protein shake, but this time it was a slow release shake with a combination of whey, soy, and casein. Following this he would have his mid-afternoon power nap, all in the aid of increasing recovery to maximize his bodybuilding gains.
Upon waking Hulk would then consume 10 lbs of live chicken breast, 2 lbs steamed rice and a further 3 lbs of steamed broccoli. He made sure to point out and I quote here:
"Hulk need roughage, Hulk need lots broccoli, Hulk like protein for big muscle."

I kind of understood what he was saying because there were a few guys in my school that spoke in a similar fashion, they were on the chess team (we all know that us muscle heads are far more intellectually superior and can easily conjugate sentences with big words like "marmalade" and know what they mean).
Anyway, after finishing his chicken feast, Hulk would prepare for his second workout of the day focusing on a smaller muscle group.
For his resistance training portion of the workout his main focus was on the cardio session where he would perform 45 minutes of intervals, to maximize body fat oxidation.
Post workout - a 5 lb portion of protein was consumed along with the creatine and glutamine, and the day would end with two more chickens and cows before sleeping until the following day where the cycle would be repeated.

I won't make you angry by telling you not to do anything!

So there you have it straight from the trenches - Hulk's Bulking workout! Remember, do not try to consume the same amount of food as Hulk, he has a radioactive advantage over us which also allows him to lift more weight machines in the gym during the course of the off-season.
Stay safe in the gym and maybe use some of Hulk's bodybuilding philosophies to help achieve your training goals. We may never be a comic book super hero but we can sure as h-ll look like one!
