Dwayne Johnson, also known as “The Rock,” started his career playing football before becoming an instant star in the WWE. This is all in The Rock’s past of course, as he now spends his most of time preparing and filming movies, including his latest film: The Tooth Fairy.
When The Rock transitioned between careers, he had to make changes to his physique. He used to lift one body part per workout, but he found that he was not burning off fat fast enough. In came his trainer, Billy Beck, who then had The Rock lifting four body parts a day (each of which were done 3x per week) and less cardio.
Here’s the new workout program, as shown in Men’s Health, Billy came up with for the Rock:
Monday
Resistance training: Chest, back, biceps, calves; 5 sets, 15-20 reps, 30-second rest periods.
Cardio: 5-minute warmup, 12 minutes at a high-intensity clip, 5-minute cooldown.

“Sugar” Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather will square off tonight it what is somewhat of a boxing fantasy match-up. Shane Mosley, known for his speed and athleticism, currently holds the WBA Super World Welterweight title. Floyd Mayweather, who has previously held six world boxing titles in five different weight classes, takes an undefeated record into the ring against Mosley.
The two fighter’s recently shared some of their pre-bout workout and training tips with Men’s Health. Here’s a sneak peek and what you can do to get yourself in peak condition like they do.
Have a plan
“If I give my own gameplan, I’m giving the world my remedy on how I train. I can’t give the world my remedy,” says Mayweather. Now that’s a competitor! It is important to have a plan when you train and workout though. Don’t just walk into the gym and wander around. The only way to constantly achieve new fitness feats is to create a game plan and monitor your results.
Mix it up with intervals
Mosley keeps his running interesting with interval training. We have long been supporters of incorporating intervals into your workouts as they have been proven to be a fast and effective way to burn fat and increase stamina. Next time you are at the gym for a cardio session skip the slow boring run and try to crank it up a bit. Run on the treadmill at about 85% for 30 seconds, then slow it down for a light jog or walk for 60 seconds. Repeat this 6-10 times. Once your body gets used to pushing itself you can vary the interval and rest lengths for a tougher challenge.
Find some motivation
“Every day that I go to the boxing gym, I think about what my opponent is doing,” Mayweather says. “In my mind, I’m trying to outwork my opponent. That’s what keeps me physically able to go out there and perform and not get tired. Each time I’m pushing myself more and more to the limit.”
Be versatile
Mosley supplements his gym workouts with bowling, basketball, and snowboarding. “It’s a different form of muscle training,” says Mosley’s trainer, Nazim Richardson. “It gives him that muscle confusion and keeps him agile.”
