The Exercise the Rock Is Doing On Leg Day | Men's Health Magazine Australia

This Is The Rock’s Favourite Exercise On Leg Day

 When he’s not telling you how many eggs he eats per day (it’s 12), actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is probably shifting iron.

The Hollywood giant has exercises for all 640 muscles in his body – and somehow finds a way to fit them all in to his routine.

Posting to his personal Instagram account, the Fast and Furious star showed off his powerful glutes and hips with a set of 115 kilogram pelvic thrusts.

Letting his followers know the importance of warming up and recovery, The Rock posted:

“Fun warmup activating glutes and hips before destroying legs,” he wrote. “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.” 

Johnson also spruiks the lovemaking benefits. “This exercise showcases the relentless power in my thrust game which is my jam when we practice making babies…Bottom line/do your warm ups. They’re critical.”
