Dwayne Johnson is one of the leading stars across the globe. The former WWE wrestler is known for his muscular physique and warm personality. The Rock has successfully been able to establish his career in both wrestling and acting. The actor is one of the highest-paid stars and enjoys a global fanbase. The Red Notice star though failed in ensuring the good performance of his dream project, Black Adam.
It is a well-known fact that the DC studios were going to launch Black Adam alongside Shazam, but the Jumanji star asked for his own individual film to mark his debut in the DCU. Johnson surely tried his best to ensure the perfection of the movie from every angle yet it failed to impress the public. One of the things Johnson ensured to be perfect in the movie was his physique. The Fast Five actor revealed in an interview how he changed his routine to ensure the perfect delivery of his body.
Dwayne Johnson On His Training Experience
The Rock shared that he underwent an extensive training regime to make his body better. The Red Notice star looked back at his life experience and shared how his training has continued to get tougher over time. Johnson noted that after entering WWE his exercise routine got tremendously difficult but he made up his mind to take the difficulty to another level. The Rock gave himself a final push by making his training even tougher just to ensure a perfect performance in his dream project, Black Adam.
“I’ve been one lucky son of a b*tch over the years to prepare for some really big competitions and games. That really started with my college football career at the University of Miami. We were national champions and had the pleasure of competing for the national title on two other occasions. From there it only got more intense, especially when I began my professional wrestling career. Getting the greenlight for Black Adam was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to raise the bar yet again.”
Adding on, the Black Adam star ensured to thank his trainer, Dave Rienzi, who guided Johnson in his rigorous training routine. The Rock stated that he and his trainer worked a lot on refining muscles.
“Doing that work with Dave, we wanted to bring a whole new philosophy and methodology to the way I push myself in the gym. There’s a lot of fine-tuning that goes on in our training together. Even if we’re not together, I’m constantly sending him photos so he knows exactly where we are when it comes to results. If needed, we’ll make adjustments at the moment. He doesn’t only care about the aesthetic, but also about my energy levels and how I’m feeling.”
Dwayne Johnson On Pulling Sodium And Reducing Water Intake
The Fast Five star revealed his special breakfast menu on his Instagram. Dwayne Johnson added that his special breakfast was focused on his upcoming important shoots in the Black Adam. Johnson mentioned that he removed the sodium from his diet and limited his water intake. His breakfast, as shown, consisted of flank, egg whites, brown rice, and blueberries. The Rock followed a diet to dehydrate his body and give his physique an even more defined look.
It appears like Johnson’s effort to polish his muscular physique could not contribute much to the success of Black Adam. It appears as if Johnson’s Black Adam has gone on infinite hiatus. Black Adam is currently available on HBO Max.
