Many people aspire to have the dream physique like him, but Rome was not built in a day. It took him a considerable amount of time and numerous mistakes till he reached the point where he knew what was best for his body in order to have his impressive physique. That being, he once shared some past mistakes that he made fitness-wise that caused him remorse.

“I would just train heavy,” Dwayne Johnson once said

In 2013, 44-year-old Johnson, along with Mark Wahlberg, interviewed for Bodybuilding.com. During the interview, the host asked The Rock about the mistakes he has made inside the gym. He briefly described all the things he had done wrong fitness-wise that even led him to get injured sometimes.

He said, “The not-so-smart, was probably all the times that I would just train heavy. You ego train, you throw on way too much weight and you use poor form and you wind up getting hurt and then you regret it later on.”

With this statement, he subtly called out many other bodybuilders who make the same mistake and pay the price. He also expressed his happiness over his right decision of hiring a diet and conditioning coach and coach for that put his training and workout routines together, depending on his movie roles.
