Source quote and limits
“Ford would drop down and do 50 to 100”
In the original interview with trainer Jake Steinfeld, the reporter describes Ford doing fifty to one hundred Jake runs, identified as mountain climbers, after each resistance set and before push-ups. Fifty is the floor of the reported range. The source does not specify whether each leg drive or a two-leg cycle counts as one repetition. No added load or bodyweight is stated. The individual workout dates are unknown; date uses the article publication. This was historical film preparation in the early 1980s. The separate hundred-repetition resistance-set statement lacks an exercise, and the push-up set has no count, so both remain excluded. Dated to 1983: training for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which the page says continued after arrival in Sri Lanka for filming (principal photography 1983).

“I'm not kidding you, man, he'd get down and bang out a thousand sit-ups,”
Trainer Jake Steinfeld recalls it to Bryan Curtis (Grantland, 2012-08-31). The film shot in 1983; the day is not given. Found through a Gemini Deep Research report (2026-10-29). 'He'd bang out' describes a habit, so it is a routine set with no one session described (low, per the README rule).
