Here we see The Rock's palm. Those blisters look painful, don't they? This is one of the key characteristics that has ensured Rocky has been able to give himself the body he undoubtedly enjoys today, the fact he has become so used to certain types of pain. It's a given that the first time he ever felt that horrible ripping sensation lifting heavy weights imparts on the upper sections of your palms that he doubted that he could continue doing such exercise. However, he obviously gritted his teeth and continued. No pain, no gain, as they say. These traits would have stood him in good stead for his fledgling American Football and wrestling careers as those two sports are not for the weak bodied, so to speak. While he has been known to do some of his own stunts in Hollywood, nothing for the faint hearted either there.
