His transformation speaks loud of how much effort MJF put into being in a top-notch shape. But did he touch The Rock’s weightlifting mark yet? Well, according to his recent Twitter post, yes.
The Rock, who strictly abides by a tough workout routine on a daily basis, usually does 600-700 lbs leg press on a good workout day.
