Could we all look like The Rock if we wanted to? (1 Viewer)

How hard would it be for the average FBG to be built like The Rock if he so decide this is what he wanted?

I don't mean the meatheads here, but a regular guy, like Mr. Pickles, or BillsBonanza87.

TIA

 
Well I think genetics has to play a role. Dude is supposed to be 6'5" and 260. Not sure if those are accurate but he sure looks it. Plus he has been an athlete forever. He has put so much work in to his physique I don't know if a regular guy could duplicate that.

On a sad note he had to put down his bulldog today because it ate poison mushrooms. My condolences to him on his loss.

 
Johnson has said that although he tried steroids when he was 18 he gave them up fairly quickly. Says he is clean. That he does it all with lots of work and strict diet.

 
Reminds me of a story...

Back in the day, I lived in a duplex. My neighbor was a stripper and her boyfriend was a skinny little dude. We drank beer with each other on occasion when we would run in to each other doing chores, bbq'ing and stuff. He catches me outside one day and tells me that he is tired of buff dudes hitting on his girl, so he has started using steroids and if I want to buy any he can hook me up. I tell him thanks, but I am good.

He carried around a milk jug of water and all he did was work out and drink water, approx. three months later he was looking pretty ripped. I went over to his house one day to ask for an egg. His girlfriend was on her hands and knees washing the floor. She looked at me and advised that she didn't have any eggs, but if I wanted to #### her from behind she was cool with that.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how buff you are.

One of my best friends who played in the CFL and the Arena League told me, "you can't cut 260 pounds." Genetics will take you so far, then it's stuff God never intended that makes up the difference.

Sounds scientific and legit.

Seems like he would know better than me.

Walter Jones, Bruce Matthews, and Johnathan Ogden weren't cut like WWF guys, this isn't that hard to understand IMO. :shrug:

What workout regiment makes you 5 inches taller?

Not sure why it matters if you're 6'5 or 6'0 as long as you have the build.

In that case why would I want to get out of shape?

Take it from a 6'4" guy, you'd rather be 6'0 230 lean muscle. Much easier to shop for clothes.

i dont need science to tell me the majority of the planet, regardless of how much they eat or work out, wont ever look like the rock. Same reason the majority of the planet will never play a pro sport. There are people on this planet that are just different.

I'm 6'3 and am currently 182. I was once a fatty at 245 (thanks freshman/sophomore 50?). Probably more muscle now than then. Life is way better smaller even if considered "weaker".

Absolutely. I used to be 235 with very little body fat when I played dIII bball. I see no point being that size approaching 40.

He's trying to tell you that he has a huge dong.
 
Genetics would hold many back, but we could all look very good for whatever size we are. The thing holding us back is a traditional 9-5. The Rock is in Hollywood. He has all day to work out. Hell, the roles he undertakes he has to get in shape for and he gets paid to get in shape and spend his whole day with a world class trainer at the gym. Then he goes home to a full-time personal chef who gives him all the nutritional goodies you could ever ask for.

Yeah he covered that response as well. Said its easy for people to talk #### but he knows he's clean and doesn't care what people think. I personally don't know. I know those guys with Somoan heritage get pretty big naturally, seems plausible to me. But again who really knows.

Interesting trivia. Johnson was a D lineman at The U. When he got hurt he was replaced by his backup, Warren Sapp.

Johnson has said that although he was hurt for a short time in college, he recovered quite quickly and actually went on to have a Hall-of-Fame NFL career.

Everything was golden, until she looked at me. She looked like Theron from Monster. William The Conquer went back in to his tent.

Actually missed that. I did read where he talked about getting cut from the CFL and then went into wrestling which was the family business as it were.

As I said I don't know. I don't think you know and I think there is reason to think he may be telling the truth. Personally I enjoy his wrestling persona and his action movies. If he is juicing it will catch up to him. And if he isn't then he has the last laugh.

 
Yes Otis, you can look exactly like the Rock.

1. Stop eating fatty food and carbs.

2. Protein load.

3. Work out 8 hours a day.

4. Find a doctor willing to give you HGH and start taking that #### like you've got the worst case of Hypopituitarism in the world.

I hear its a lot of work a strict diet and a lot of steroids.

 
Would be a good marketing idea for a supplement vendor to seclude a moderately large group of randomly selected Otis-esque individuals (say 30 or so) and demonstrate the possibilities. Not holding my breath while waiting for this to happen.
