Buff Dudes imitate Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

In this video posted by the Buff Dudes, they try doing the 20-minute quick workout routine created by Dwayne Johnson for his currently grossing film ‘Black Adam’; this includes giant sets of 4 exercises. The chest workout comprises 3 sets each of 10 flys, chest press, incline press, and bodyweight dips to failure.

Brandon says, “Three compound movements back to back, starting off with an isolation movement for pre-exhaustion, is a very intense pairing of exercises to hit all the different angles.”

These workouts have been kept short, as Johnson needs to get over with them quickly, considering his busy schedule. Brandon says, “The Rock’s a busy man, he’s got to make these workouts as short and effective as possible.”

Moving forward, the routine focuses on the triceps. This includes 3 giant sets of 10 skull crushers, 10 crossbench dips, 10 rope extensions, and 10 single-arm dumbbell French press.
