Day 7: Rest

The Rock’s rest day is usually comprised of refueling his muscles with epic cheat meals on worthy of the Herculean force he is.

So, if you dare, you can try training as hard as the Rock by following these workouts to a T, or you can adapt the days to where you are right now. The important takeaway from this routine is that you need to push hard and stay determined to get results.

As the Rock has said: “Success at anything will always come down to this: Focus and Effort. And we control both.”

The Rock eats meals every 2 to 3 hours, about 5 to 7 times a day.

Here’s a sample of what the Rock cooks up throughout the week:

• Meal 1 – 280-gram steak filet, 4 egg whites, 140-gram oatmeal, 1 glass of watermelon juice
• Meal 2 – 220-gram chicken, 2 cups white rice, 1 cup broccoli or a mixture of bell pepper, mushrooms, broccoli, and a protein shake
• Meal 3 – 220-gram halibut, 2 cups white rice, 1 cup asparagus
• Meal 4 – 220-gram chicken, 1 cup broccoli, 350 gram baked potato
• Meal 5 – 220-gram halibut, 1 cup white rice, 1 cup asparagus
• Meal 6 – 280-gram steak filet, 250 gram backed potato, 1 salad
• Meal 7 – 20-30 gram casein protein supplement, 10 egg whites

As Johnson has told Bodybuilding.com in a 2018 interview, “Diet-wise, I generally eat 5 meals a day. I’m very prepared and organized, and everything is planned out in advance. It’s all measured depending on what I’m training to achieve… [Staples] in my diet include chicken, steak fillets, egg whites, oatmeal, broccoli, halibut, rice, asparagus, baked potato, leafy salads, peppers, mushrooms, and onions, and then also some casein protein.”
