The Rock reveals the exercise he never skips on leg day

Alan Loughnane

We’re just going to say this straight out, The Rock is ripped as f*ck…

Dwayne Johnson is known as one of the most charming and charismatic men in Hollywood, and it just so happens that he’s in absolutely awesome shape as well.

The man rises early in the morning to fit in his insane workouts around his hectic film and media schedules.

One thing you can be damn certain of, is that The Rock never ever, skips leg day.

But the Rock revealed on his Instagram page recently a warm-up he uses before his leg day to get his hips and glutes warmed up for the workout to come.

He wrote in the post:

“Fun warmup activating glutes and hips before destroying legs. 5 second hold at the top, squeezed, with resistance bands above the knees using 225lbs. 

“Gotta warm up properly due to all my sexy lower body injuries from years of wrestling and football (two L4 & L5 low back disc ruptures, five knee surgeries, torn Achilles, tore both my quad and adductor from my pelvis and repaired three hernias all in one lovely emergency surgery). Lots of fun pain, but we fight thru it and come back stronger and better.

“Plus this exercise showcases the relentless power in my thrust game which is my jam when we practice making babies. Who wants extra cheese on their pizza? Because I got endless amounts with that last paragraph. Bottom line/ do your warm ups. They’re critical.”
