PIC: The Rock provides more proof that he never, ever skips leg day

Or arm day, chest day or whatever day you’re having for yourself.

If you’re ever feeling a little lazy or think that you’d rather skip a gym session, then The Rock’s social media feed is best avoided at all cost, because this guy looks like he’s never out of the place. ‘Beast’ would be a fairly accurate description of the man known to his mother as Dwayne Johnson and if you’re looking for inspiration then there’s plenty to be found on his Instagram feed, including his most recent post. The post was ostensibly to update his followers about his shooting schedule for the year ahead and to ask them if he had gum stuck to the bottom of his shoe, but the one thing you can’t miss when looking at the picture below is the incredible definition of the man’s legs.

Here's a breakdown of my 2016 shooting schedule and why I'm up at 4am everyday to train (aside from being slightly bat shit crazy). Once we wrap season 2 of #BALLERS (4 weeks left), the next day I'll start shooting our “little" beach movie called #BAYWATCH (literally THE most successful TV intellectual property of all time - so the pressure is on - bring it). After a 12 week #BAYWATCH shoot, I'll go right into shooting #FastAndFurious8. We're a family, and playing the character of HOBBS is one of my greatest joys and I'll make the promise to ya right now: I'm stepping on that set ready to rumble and raise the bar on all levels: The intensity, the tactical gear/weapons and especially that "Hobbs' winking fun". Since Fast & Furious 5, you've made HOBBS the highest testing character for a reason - and we're gonna give new meaning to the catchphrase, "Daddy's gotta go to work." After approximately 12-14 weeks of shooting FF8, I'll transition right into the big one... #RAMPAGE. Before we start shooting I'll spend time at the San Diego Wildlife Preserve as well with Anti-Poaching Units out of Africa. As big and fun as this movie is, the key is grounding it in research and authenticity. The entire team that brought you San Andreas is back and we can't wait to get started on this one. King Kong is just a little monkey compared to what these massive RAMPAGING ANIMALS can do. Now of course the universe can step in at anytime and throw a flag on the play, but as you see there's a method to my madness of 4am wake ups for cardio & training hard - it anchors my day and allows me to 100% focus and prep for these roles - and the irony of this whole thing is all these roles pale in comparison to the most daunting, gratifying and holy shit scary role of all - being a father. But that's for another fun discussion. And I close this long ass post with a question anyone who just trained calves would ask... do I or do I not have gum stuck on the bottom of my shoe? ? #Method2TheMadness #HardestWorkersInTheRoom #ChaseYourGreatness #AndCheckYourShoesForGum ???
