While filming The Hunger Games in Kentucky, Josh Hutcherson was put on a very strict high-protein diet and workout regimen that often left him feeling quite sore. 
"I had to put on a lot of weight, so I was in the process of eating chicken, eggs and protein and all that fun stuff," the actor said. 
In terms of his workout, Hutcherson trained five days a week with an ex-Navy Seal, Logan Hood. Referring to the workouts as "unconventional," the 19-year-old actor said they often left him "sore for four days afterwards." 
"I worked out with him for an hour and literally I would have to lay down for 20 minutes because I couldn't drive away," Hutcherson said. "It would be dangerous to drive away straight afterwards! I was going to pass out." 
Hood said the training would often include "flipping tires in the parking lot and slamming baseball bats against body bags."
