“If you lift you know what he’s doing”: Heated Debate Erupts Among Fans After They Spot Dwayne Johnson Lifting Extremely Light Weight in Recent Workout Video
Dwayne Johnson popularly known as The Rock is a professional wrestler who before starting his career as an actor was known as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He is highly respected and looked up to in the professional wrestling community. He is an integral part of the team behind the development and success of WWF (now WWE) during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The actor is now known as one of the highest-paid actors in the world along with an actor whose movies have performed exceptionally well at the box office making him one of the world’s highest-grossing actors. Dwayne Johnson has maintained himself over the years with his physical appearance but a recent video shared online has sparked a heated discussion about the actor’s workout regime. Let’s find out.
Dwayne Johnson says he’s raising the bar with ‘get to’ philosophy
In a recently shared video of him working out at the gym, Dwayne Johnson wrote in the caption,
“We pushed hard and made progress. Been applying the ‘get to’ philosophy lately when it comes to pushing myself, getting after it and raising the bar. And that mindset has really helped me calibrate my perspective and get even more focused. We ‘get to’ put in the work.”
Johnson continued,
“As opposed to we ‘have to’. Big difference you can apply to all areas of life in a positive way, Grateful for the grind. Go super light on the chest finisher and squeeze the hell outta the reps.”
But eagle-eyed fans noticed how the actor was lifting 20 kg on either side and was sweating too much. They mentioned in the comment section of the video shared by account @rickileetimandjoel that they had expected a lot more from him.
A user wrote under the actor’s video, “Who else noticed it’s only 20 on each side like what? Thought it would be more than that, it’s The Rock”, while someone else wrote, “I’m not even that soaked when I shower.” Another user noted under @rickileetimandjoel’s video of the actor shared, “If you lift you know what he’s doing”, while another wrote, “it’s not about the weight it’s about the intensity.”
Soon the comment section of @rickileetimandjoel’s account had turned into a heated discussion over fans trying to defend the actor. Fans of the actor filled the comment section by pointing out how they had expected him to use more weight but it should be noted that the actor had mentioned that he was now training in sauna-like conditions and focused more on the reps; which could be the reason for the sweat.
Dwayne Johnson on his hope for daughters to inherit his legacy of hard work
The actor recently spoke to reporters where he mentioned that he hopes that his daughters Tiana, Jasmine, and Simone will inherit his quality of hard work . He said,
“What I try to do with the girls is show them that No.1, the world is yours. And as little girls- and little girls of color- it’s out there. You’re going to have your struggles, and if Teremana is an example of hard work and creating something for people to like and enjoy, let it be your example.”
Teremana Tequila is an ultra-premium brand launched by the actor in early 2020 and the actor noted that having to pour himself a drink and engage with the public via his social media at the time allowed him to get to know people and for them to know him. The brand recently announced that its sales have surpassed one million cases.
Johnson noted via CNN that he has said before that the easiest thing one can do is just be oneself, adding that it took him years, even though he started saying it but then he didn’t realize the power of it until he started living it.
