10 WWE Wrestlers' Gym Routines You Need To Try
8. Stone Cold Steve Austin
One of the greatest performers in the history of the business also had one of the greatest looks. Stone Cold Steve Austin underwent one of the biggest character changes in history, going from being a long blonde haired stunning stereotype to being a foul-mouthed bald WWE Champion.
Even though his character changed, his body remained in tip-top shape. To this day, Stone Cold keeps a solid training program where "less is more." In this routine, you can get a glimpse at what Austin did to keep his workouts short and sweet, while maintaining optimal muscle on his body. This is a four day routine with a low amount of reps and a large amount of weight. This helped Steve build muscle around a body that was falling apart during the tail-end of his wrestling career:
Monday Squat - 5 or 6 sets, 6-8 reps; Straight-legged deadlift - 2 sets, 6-8 reps; Barbell shrugs - 2 sets, 6-8 reps; Dumbbell shrugs - 2 sets, 6-8 reps
Tuesday Bench - 3 or 4 sets, 6-8 reps; Incline bench - 2 sets, 6-8 reps; 30 minutes cardio
