7 WWE Superstars With Crazy Workout Routines

6. The Rock

If you follow the Rock on Twitter, chances are you€™ve heard about his commitment to cardio. The Great One is regularly up at four or five in the morning so that he can balance his gruelling training with a Hollywood acting career. https://twitter.com/TheRock/status/497300349279956992 https://twitter.com/TheRock/status/502300263131000832 And although he didn€™t have to go to such measures back in his full-time WWE days, he was still one of the harder workers the company had to offer. The Rock recognised the need for a balanced physique, likely a knock-on effect of his pre-WWE football career. He wanted to be a true athlete, combining speed, quickness, agility and power in his bid to be the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVuGY70xp40 In fact, the accompanying video looks more like an NFL training camp than that of a pro wrestler. Plyometric training for agility, hurdles and box jumps for explosiveness and Olympic lifting for power all feature in his training repertoire, as well as less usual methods such as running the stairs at Florida€™s Orange Bowl and using towels for pulls up to improve his grip strength. His eclectic approach obviously paid great dividends. The Rock was dubbed the most electrifying man in sports entertainment and for good reason€”very few were able come close to the Peoples€™ Champ€™s energetic blend of speed, agility and power. And his training had much to do with that.
