Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock Workout
The Rock’s Workout History
From Bulky to Lean
When he started wrestling, Johnson realized that his bulky 280lb frame was not going to create an effective look. He had to get faster and leaner. By focusing on a proper diet plan and a workout built around hypertrophy, Johnson dropped 20lbs. He had a split routine where he worked one body part per day and did 45 minutes of fat burning cardio.
His new look combined with his playful personality helped turn The Rock into the People’s Champ. This helped propel Johnson into the Hollywood scene where he has starred in movies such as The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King, Walking Tall, The Rundown, Doom, Gridiron Gang, The Game Plan, Get Smart, Race to Witch Mountain, Tooth Fairy and earn upcoming roles in The Other Guys and Faster.http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=3879918151097998786Dwayne Johnson’s first movies were mainly action films before he ventured in the world of comedy.
