Infographic: Check out the chest and back workouts The Rock did to get into shape for Hercules

We can’t guarantee that these will make you look like The Rock himself, but they’re not a bad place to start.

It’s no secret that the man known as Dwayne Johnson is something of a beast when it comes to the gym and lately he’s been sharing some of the workouts that he got through in preparation for his role in Hercules, which, as the name suggests, required him to be in tip-top nick.

Bye bye pigeon pecs..my HERCULES chest workout. Send me your progress. #FOCUS #FunPain #TeamHercules pic.twitter.com/DLaWN1yI1h — Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) June 14, 2014

Let's roll.. My back workout. Hit it hard, heavy & use good form. Send me your progress! #FOCUS #B2A #TeamHercules pic.twitter.com/Gb9IrP0T06 — Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) June 11, 2014

As you might expect, the workouts weren’t exactly a walk in the park but The Rock didn’t get into the shape he’s in from slacking off and what better motivation to push yourself than some personal encouragement from the man himself, something he's been dishing out in his own style on Twitter in recent days...

Hell it ain't Tiddlywinks. #B2A RT: @jimbosmith729: Rock, I just finished this #TeamHercules workout - it's TORTURE! pic.twitter.com/lfQKLm99aO — Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) June 17, 2014
