The Rock's Diet and Workout Plan | Man of Many

LIFESTYLE
Meanwhile, Johnson is always happy to share the secrets of his ongoing success. As such, you’ll always find him posting fitness videos to YouTube or selling The Rock workout gear or gracing Instagram with pictures of his hearty meals. He even launched two short-lived reality shows called “Hero” and “Wake Up Call,” where he personally motivated others toward physical and mental transformation. Like we said, spreading the love is a massive part of his game plan.

The Rock Diet Plan

When he’s not building mass for a role, The Rock eats the following (as an example):

Five-Meal Diet Plan

  • 10 oz steak
  • 2 cups oatmeal
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 glass watermelon juice
  • Meal #1

  • 2 servings chicken
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 3 cups mushrooms
  • 3 cups broccoli
  • 1 protein shake
  • Meal #2

  • 8 oz salmon
  • 8 asparagus tips
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 cups rice medley
  • 3 cups broccoli
  • Meal #3

  • 10 oz steak
  • 3 baked potatoes
  • 8 asparagus tips
  • 1 glass orange juice
  • Meal #4

  • 20 grams casein protein
  • 10 egg whites
  • Meal #5

    As we mentioned above, when The Rock was training for 2014’s “Hercules,” he consumed calories like it was nobody’s business. For all the extremists (or completists) out there, here’s one of his seven-meal diet plans:

    Seven-Meal Diet Plan

  • 10 oz cod
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 cups of oatmeal
  • Meal #1

  • 8 oz cod
  • 12 oz sweet potato

  • 1 cup veggies
  • Meal #3

  • 8 oz cod
  • 2 cups rice
  • 1 cup veggies
  • 1 tbsp fish oil—122
  • Meal #4

  • 8 oz steak
  • 12 oz baked potato
  • spinach salad
  • Meal #5

  • 10 oz cod
  • 2 cups rice
  • salad
  • Meal #6

  • 30 grams casein protein

    Are you ready to bring out your inner Hercules? The Rock workout plan will certainly get you there, but don’t think for a second that the journey will be easy. On the contrary, The Rock workout routine is pretty much as demanding as modern fitness can get. Of course, should you properly execute this brutal training regimen, you’ll be walking tall like a one-man gun show (who out there got the reference?).
