Dwayne the Rock Johnson workout and diet

                                                                               

Dwayne Douglas Johnson (born May 2, 1972), also known by his ring name The Rock, is an American actor and professional wrestler who is signed to WWE, appearing on the Raw brand. He is often credited as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He used this workout routine while trying to trim down from 14 to 7% bodyfat for some of his Hollywood movie roles. He trained six pays per week, resting on day seven. 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.

Dwayne Johnson's first movies were mainly action films before he ventured in the world of comedy. With Faster, he's coming full circle. Obviously, Johnson will need to stay in great shape since he plans on tackling superhero roles in the future%u2026Luke Cage, Namor, Martian Manhunter, Captain Marvel, and Race Bannon from Johnny Quest are possibilities.
