One of the greatest WWE superstars of all time, The Rock has transitioned and come a long way from being a great pro-wrestler to a now DC superhero. His workout has Vonn staying away from doing arm days with him.

Lindsey Vonn intimidated by Rock’s workout

Vonn has had a career riddled with injuries, which she has managed to conquer and make a comeback from every single time. Her fitness regimen, even after retirement, has been impeccable. But having to workout with ‘The Rock’ is nothing less than intimidating.

‘I will never do arm day with you, because clearly my biceps cannot compete with his… I just want to stay fit, be strong and have fun, so I can push myself when my body feels good,” said Vonn.

“Dwayne is a good man, and I’m lucky to call him my friend. At first, I didn’t know if our workout would be a one-time thing. But I think, so far, I’m able to hang,” added Vonn.

The Rock’s bicep workout

Ever wondered how ‘The Rock’ manages to maintain those incredible biceps? His workout says it all. Firstly, he starts with seven reps from the top position of the curl and goes halfway down. This is the hardest phase of a curl as it requires the exercise to be done without using one’s forearms. Secondly, he does seven reps from the bottom with the arms straight in position. The arms go only halfway up to his waist.

Lastly, he finishes it by doing seven more reps from the bottom, with the arms extended, and curls the barbell up to his shoulders. While Vonn doesn’t want arms like Johnson, folks at home can certainly try his workout routine.
