One slice of cheese can be 400 cal. It’s super easy to eat 4000 cal a day. Every professional bodybuilder regardless of how much money they have this eating pretty much the same diet that the Rock cleans eating. He’s got the genetics and people gain weight as they get older so I don’t know why we expect this guy to look like he did when he was in his 20s or 30s. Also another factor being half African-American and half Polynesian he’s gonna look younger than if you were British or German. of course he’s on the gear prior to the 1990s everybody was.
What slice of cheese is 400 cal 🤣🤣

I think you have brain damage
Yoo
Everybody has?😂
"at his age his physique cannot be attained naturally".... At ANY age his physique would be unobtainable naturally.
Why is this guy coloring rock's face
this pisses me of so mutch i barely can state it, i dont care if they juce but why not be honest WHY some people might to atemt this "natural" and fail and of course they fail and question themselfes just because someone with fame clamed to be naturall for image issues. its getting in to the head of girls and boys and ruins there perception
Exactly lol
I actually disagree, his earlier physique was attainable naturally, when he was wrestling.
Yep he is 💯 using steroids or some such strength/physique enhancing drugs.
Anyone who thinks he''s natural has never lifted before. No man in his 50s looks like that. Even with a personal chef and trainer. It simply isn't possible. He clearly works hard but for me it's just annoying to hear him lie about PED usage.
Yeah he definitely puts in work but no doubt on the sauce. It's painfully obvious
I'm sure that he's getting the most advanced/well tested drugs but it's still kind of crazy that he's been able to do this for so long. Even with a team of top doctors, there's no way this isn't wrecking his body.
Jeff Nippard has a great natural physique. The Rock has a great physique. Jeff has pretty close to what the best natty physique would be.
@@pablowentscobarhe's also the height of a lawn gnome
Agreed, unless he's practicing some type of muscular black magic, he's got to be using PEDs
Believing the Rock is natural, is like thinking the government has your best interest.
The government has your best interest in the same way that the owner of the company you work minimum wage for has your best interest
Right on 😂
The government only has the constititution to answer to
@@LildawgBigbiteexcept nobody believes what you said while every Democrat believes what OP said
Lol 😂
I've been a natural lifter for 20 years. Only supplements I've taken are protein powder and creatine. I've always eaten well and have a really good physique for being in my 40s. As I've gotten older I have to work so much harder to maintain the same physique, while eating more and more strict. I know he has better genetics, better food and a better work ethic than I do, but for him to say he's anywhere near natty is completely laughable.
This^^^^^^^^
Anyone who knows anything about fitness knows he’s not natty. But we also know he’s lying because it’s illegal and the culture would look down on him for it. Don’t expect people to admit to criminal activity. That’s as dumb as thinking he’s natural.
It's also super naive to not understand WHY he says. that. People like you or myself know better and wouldn't give a shit if came out and admitted it. But there'd be a huge number of people (that ironically know fuck all about anything even resembling exercise or diet) that will demonize him and talk shit about him and bring it up anytime his name comes up. These are the same dipshits that don't understand that every single fuckin superhero actor, action movie star, and honestly MOST movie stars, are also ALL on something. They're not athletes competing and therefor not hurting anyone but themselves (arguably) , but we live in the future nowadays where the one thing people seem to love more than worshopping whatever *star*, is getting to be a part of the group that tears down their enitre life.
Sorry bro, but the it's completely understandable why the rock lies about it. You finding it laughable is just you being super naive from HIS pov.
try taking dhea it’s a natural supplement search up leroy colbert dhea it might be something you want to look into.
You’re so brave for sharing that
i think you'd have to dig pretty deep to find a human being in what's left of The Rock. almost everything about him these days feels like the results of a focus group talking at you
Bang on
He's more machine than man
He’s a Hollywood politics robot
im sure the people close to him like his wife/kids know the real rock. Doesn't mean he has to show it to us, the pathetic human population who gobble up all the brand stuff thrown at us.
@@AlexandreRochon89 ... twisted and evil.
He’s no longer The Rock. He’s becoming The Boulder.
😂 no you mean the aSTEROID
When it all comes crashing down he'll be the pebble.

why is no one bringing up the creepy pasta drawing slowly being created 😂
That face is going to haunt my nightmares now lol
lmaoooo@@larsthemartian9554
His neck looks like an erected penis shaft
What?
That drawing was 🔥🔥🔥
let me summarize everything in a single sentence: he's obviously on steroids but he'll never admit it because they're illegal and he stands to lose a lot by admitting anything.
No, I think he's a clone. He'd be a raging madman by now (and likely dead) if he'd been doing roids that long.
@@gregoryl.levitre9759 tell me you don't know anything about steroids without telling me you don't know anything about steroids
@@gregoryl.levitre9759ah yes, being a clone makes MUCH more sense than just steroid use.
I don't think he's been on roids for as long as some people think, but yeah he's almost 50 and a crazy bod
@@gregoryl.levitre9759You have zero idea how steroids work
Thing is he CAN. NOT. ACT outside of wrestling. He just plays himself. Batista has shown unequivocally that he is the superior wrestling to acting entertainer.
I mean, I don’t think wrestling is known for it’s good acting.
@@calebcrouch6133it literally is
Bautista is finally off roids......
I didn't even know Bautista was a wrestler, he has presence and is memorable as an actor, that's way more important than how big he is.
@@c.w.8200 he was a great wrestler in his prime. He even did well in MMA with 2 wins and zero losses. Everyone saw how small hes become in the recent Mr Beast Video.
It’s interesting. When he was a full-time wrestler, he came off as kind and genuine, despite having a brash and arrogant gimmick. And by all backstage accounts, it was true. Even in conflict, he was justified.
Now that he’s full-time Hollywood, he comes across as disingenuous and vacant, yet oddly sinister. He was overflowing with personality in wrestling. Now, he barely seems like a person.
Yeah it’s weird it’s like this futuristic snake oil salesman
I don’t recall the details but someone asked how he stayed so big and he said, joking (allegedly) that he ate babies.
@@michaelwills1926 Yep. Ceepy comments like that are common with these people in hollywood. Babies, blood, satan, etc.
That's why I don't dig him returning to the WWE anymore. Since about his 1st return over a decade ago,he just doesn't seem genuine,he is forced and steals the spotlight from others.
Because he is not Dwayne, that's The Rock you see. Hollywood protects its assets, so more money you turn more restrict your personality becomes and in the end, you are nothing else but the brand you caged yourself in.
I mean, this is the same guy who recently claimed he just had In-n-Out Burger for the first time…which is like the 3rd time he’s said that
He is becoming exactly like Hulk Hogan. I think that the older Dewey gets...the more it will become a competition between the two to see who can tell the wildest and dumbest lies.
That drawing of Dwayne is pure nightmare fuel
By the way you and the Gaming Historian have very similar sounding voices
I’ve been an amateur bodybuilder for 20 years. Are there REALLY questions about his physique? Do people really wonder if he’s natural???
only the most delusional or people with ZERO fitness knowledge
I work with a dude thats a WWE superfan and I mentioned that the rock was on something to have that build and he legit got offended and told me the rock would never do something like that, and it's genetics and hard work. :)
@@Winterfal11So only mentally regarded WWE superfans, got it
Everyone knows. The issue is that he lies about it. They all do, and it's annoying. Just admit it, dude.
There were people who swore Liver King was natty... some people will believe anything.
The Rock is a shell of a man, a walking brand who only speaks in corpo-speak to advertise.
Lmao he’s probably more of a man than you’ll ever be 😂
Nothing behind those eyes
This takes me back to the Joe Rogan podcast with the rock. My god was that one terrible. BRUTAL. They were just stroking each other’s phalluses with whey goop
It’s kinda sad. Dwayne seems like a genuinely nice guy that got in too deep into the character because it makes him tons of money.
@@yoitsvenus616Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, but if there is it'll never come out of his mouth.
Who’s here after The Rock buried Cody Rhodes and now wrestling fans are turning against him? 😂
We Want Cody
Bingo #RockySucks #WeWantCody #Woahmovement
#JusticeForCody #FinishTheStory
Same
On second thought ... Triple H may have worked all of us lol
So here’s the thing, when the Rock started off in WWE, the company was just coming off a federal investigation into their steroid use. It was a huge deal and Vince McMahon almost went to prison over it. Because of this, there was a ban on steroids that supposedly is still in place today, but was heavily enforced during the Rocks first run.
So it’s incredibly interesting to see him increase in size more and more after he’s left the company, which raises a lot of questions.
Vince McMahon trial happened in 1994 The Rock came into wwe in 1996 when the drug testing policy just kicked in 2 years later prior to his trail with the sterid scsndsl in the early 90’s no wonder wee back then atarted loosing its top wrestlers goi g to other orgsnizations like wcw Mostly they werent to strick on drug testing
How msny ufc people do u know take the pill the roid rage n shit
Old Vince the deviant may be going to prison for a whole other reason now
Yup but after a few years guys like HHH Rock was very small or heavy then in 1999-2000 i think they eased up of testing and you see HHH get huge and Rock go dumb big even Austin got ripped.
Another thing about The Rock is his legacy as an action star, and it's quite interesting now that we have almost 23 years to look back on. So, ask yourself this question: "What franchise or single movie does The Rock have to call his own?"
Every big name actor has an entire franchise, or at least one single movie that they are remembered for, especially in the action genre. Something that makes you think of that person as the brand for it, even if it is a single film. Sylvester Stallone has Rocky and Rambo. Arnold Schwarzenegger has Terminator and Predator. And even Vin Deisel has the F&F franchise, with the added bonus of Pitch Black. But for Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson, I can't name a single movie or franchise that makes me think: "This wouldn't be the same without him".
The only film that comes close is The Scorpion King but that was banking off two pervious Mummy movies that Brendan Fraser was responsible for. Stop and really think about it, with films like Journey 2, G.I. Joe - Retaliation, Baywatch, and Black Adam, they all were part of already established IPs that he just came in on afterwards, and the reason why he does this is because... well, there's no nicer way to say it, except to say it: "He can't make something great on his own."
We've seen it with films that relied heavily on The Rock, like The Gameplan, Tooth Fairy, Race to Witch Mountain, Skyscrapper, San Andreas, and Central Intelligence. And while some of these movies did good at the box office, they're not remembered like so many other films. The Rock (including his movies) is like a fast-food joint, able to attract and satisfy for a small period of time, but otherwise hollow and easily forgotten.
Everyone should read your comment. Nailed it.
Walking Tall.
Very good comment. He has a decent opportunity with Red Notice which broke some Netflix streaming records. Apparently there is a sequel in the works. Perhaps that will be his best chance at establishing such a franchise. Jungle Cruise was disrupted by Covid, unfortunately.
You absolutely nailed it.
On top of all that, I would also like to add that his social media personality is so cookie cutter conformist, he spews nothing but slogans and board approved statements, that Dwayne in my opinion is the world’s most successful NPC. He campaigned for Biden only AFTER it was safe to do so, he champions climate awareness with the most generic slogans imaginable (while we all know he uses a private jet to get from one side of his mansion to the other), and has no controversial or even edgy opinions. He has no spice, no range, no unique personality. He plays it safe to be marketable, to be inoffensive, but legendary actors are not bland, dull, and so unemotional.
I’ve never met the guy, but he just seems boring in real life and in movies. He always plays the quirky good guy or misunderstood anti-hero. He’s so thirsty to be portrayed as a cool guy that honestly, I think we all subconsciously think he’s lame.
I would rather hang out with Arnold, Stallone, or even Jean Claude in their 80’s than Dwayne right now.
Does anyone else think the same?
Not to take anything away from Arnold, but looking at the Rock, he (Arnold) was really lucky to work with the likes of Cameron and Verhoeven at their primes. Not only did these directors have a vision but didn't give two shits about telling Arnold what to do. Just look up the disagreement he and Cameron had about the iconic "I'll be back" line. Arnold, at the time, felt more comfortable saying "I WILL be back" and Cameron basically told him something along the lines of Arnold is not the director so what he (Cameron) says goes. Rock just has too much power and say so on set.
The Rock is like Snoop Dogg at this point. No one even remembers why we know them anymore, but they're *everywhere* and I'm kinda over it lol
Shaquille O'Neal too
What? Snoop has continued to release stuff over the years and dropped a new solo album only a few years ago. If you're like 12 I guess you wouldn't be as familiar with Snoop. It's extremely obvious why anybody knows him, weed and rapping, and his friendship with notorious felon Martha Stewart. Though I feel like I heard his publicist or whatever made a statement that for reasons (probably health) he wasn't going to be smoking anymore and his family was asking people to not bug him about the decision. Could have been bullshit though. It makes more sense with Dwayne and Shaq as the other homie said. They're completely detached from what made them famous to begin with and have been for a while now.
@@kylegonewildsnoop definitely isn't famous for his music now, he doesn't promote it, and it isn't as good. Even snoop lion had more buzz around the music, even though it was trash😂
@@kylegonewild I was actually just thinking about this in regards to snoop the other day, I was wondering if anyone even remembers the gangsta rap days
Snoop said he was stop smoking as a gag to promote a smokeless grill.
It's exactly what you should expect Snoop to do at this stage of the game.
He's a brand, a perpetual pitchman.
I remember when people were giving Robert Pattinson dirt for not bulking up for Batman and looking like a Greek god. Had a lot of respect for him just doing his thing, training martial arts like BJJ, rehearsing fight choreography and prioritizing his happiness/comfort.
Everyone on steroids I know are MISERABLE bastards. Good for him.
don't forget that 1 time he went to in n out
"Oh, poor Dwayne Johnson the billionaire movie star, he can't stop being jacked" top tier line 😂😂😂
Literally read your comment the moment it played 😂
Suffering from success, some might call it :D
💀
I'm NGL his voice and the way he sarcastically said some things he stated was absolutely hilarious 🤣😆🤣
Eating 6k calories clean is a HUGE amount of food. I don't think people realize how insanely hard this is and how stuffed you will feel all the time.
Its not that hard if youre eating pizza and burgers but lean meats and fish is insane. I can eat 10K calories easy if its junk but when it comes to clean food, I can eat 3500.

@Anonymous-cc5pn That's not how it works. Calories are calories. The junk food may lack other vitamins and nutrients but the calories themselves are all "usable".
Being the biggest movie stars doesn’t necessarily mean you’re an excellent actor. I still stand by that belief.
His doomsday bunker will have its own chemist
The “chemist” is already chained to the radiator
The Rock has pandered to everyone for so long that the mainstream have finally gotten sick of him, it’s like a vanilla overload. I think the Rogan podcast was really the tipping point for a lot of people, he jumped the shark by saying absolutely nothing of note or substance for 2 hours, it’s no surprise he’s gone back to wrestling to revive his image and get his ego stroked
And he'll fail in wrestling too he doesn't have it on the mic anymore and when he goes to actually wrestle he gets hurt or immediately gassed out completely due to his size The Rock is dead we have Dwayne now, and Dwayne sucks
@@infamous6283 I’m excited for the inevitable train wreck, it’s a shame he’s not going up against someone better on the mic, imagine Cena/Punk of 2013 picking apart washed up Dwayne
@@celtic69 I know same here although roman isn't terrible on the mic so hopefully he can throw a few good barbs at Dwayne plus Paul Heyman is there too
Its like a stoner who gets far too into weed, at a certain point they are a personality vacuums.
"Vanilla overload" is such a perfect description of the rock, holy moly.
I remember when Rogan had Dwayne on his show and pretended that he never talked about his steroid use.
watching those two jerk each other off was just peak JRE, absolutely nothing but BS where Joe sucks off his guest if they’re big in the industry
Weirdest JRE episode. They talked but didn't say anything for hours, so fake and painful to listen to. That's coming from someone who loves the JRE
Joe's been in "the club" for years now, so. I'm not surprised that episode was a bit lack luster.
they talked 3 hours about nothing, the rock asked him the questions, that convo was so fake lol its like the rock is not allowed to say anything besides his instagram captions
Rogan was a coward and looked at the rock like some star struck kid, there was no way he was going to mention or accuse steroid use to his ‘hero’.
The sketch of the Rock being drawn during this video is kinda hilarious to me because at certain points it starts to look like the Rock Biter from the Neverending Story. XD
Didnt think about that until now
I haven't watched any episodes of that series called, "The Never Ending Story." So I checked out what the characters were on Wikipedia. I disagree that Dwayne Johnson looks like the Rock Biter character. Is that only because I am over age 30 too? (Way way over the age of 30. Way over the age of Dwayne Johnson too). All I know for sure is that I cannot compete with entertainers like Dwayne Johnson or Tina Turner nor would I want to be.
@@francesbernard2445 I didn't say Dwayne himself looked like the Rock Biter, I said the sketch in this video, at times looked like the Rock Biter. Also, not from the series, from the 80's film. The wide jaw, the narrow spaced eyes, the thick neck with the slightly pointed head, it just looked similar to the Rock Biter.
And the Rock just delayed Cody’s never ending story. Not that I’m complaining.
Lol so true!
one can only keep up an image and pander for so long...
If I were his agent, I’d plan a “Aging Gracefully” era for him. Where he’ll adopt a more humble/calm personality where he speaks on health and getting smaller in size. I think that’s how he’ll adapt from when his muscles inevitably burn out
Once his receptors burnout, he'll either have to up the steriods or cycle off.... if he cycles off you won't see him for 12-24 months, he's being juicing too long
The irony is, the rocks whole brand is being this overly muscular guy.
There nothing more to him.
He loses that, he won’t have anything left. His brand will be dead.
Hopefully he’s made sone good investments
@@boogidwnej179 he has so much money that if most of it was in conservative accounts him and his next two generations will live very comfortably.
@@boogidwnej179the useful thing about being entirely hollow on the inside is that it's very easy to pivot, the same way he functions now, just a list of talking points that relentlessly bombards at people. The thing that won't change is that he'll have all the sincerity and likeability of a late 90s televangelist
Yes. He needs to do that if he wants to stay relevant. Ideally, he would transition to a comedy or big brother / father sort of hollywood persona, and keep making films. He's had many years to become a good actor and now would be when his acting chops should start overtaking his muscular look.
What's also interesting is the career trajectory of his closest peers: John Cena and Dave Bautista. Cena is likely in a similar trap but Bautista has at least been picking a wider variety of roles to showcase his range. While Bautista's roles still leaned on his size, he's shown the ability to do excel in the quieter moments (Blade Runner 2049, Knock at the Cabin).
Bautista has such a menacing aura about him. Doesn't even really need to act much to add an ominous mood to a scene. Sort of like Vin Diesel in Pitch Black.
Bautista was great in Glass Onion
@@havierbardem820 it's the latent HIV lurking in his body
@@havierbardem820 Peak Diesel in my opinion. Cena has at least branched out into very esoteric things on occasion, even if he is cucked by the WWE and has to apologize in Chinese to China for not saying Taiwan is China once. Bautista can act and with enough challenging roles I could see him improving a lot.
What I have noticed about wrestler going into film and TV is they’re often unfathomably bad actors.
While they are absolutely tremendous athletes and phenomenal performers/entertainers.
Some might argue that acting is a major part of wrestling but I disagree/depends on how you define “acting”
Anything that could count as acting in the ring often rewards extreme exaggeration, the hammiest dialogue and jokes/punchlines that must have been rejected from Christmas crackers.
It doesn’t help that you’re often familiar with their ring persona and that showmanship, making it very uncanny.
However, There are very few A list actors who don’t follow a ludicrous work ethic and I’d say wrestlers barely make it out the door without an equally mind blowing work ethic.
That’s a huge head start.
The fact that DJ has done as well as he has is pretty rare.
There have definitely been some great movies and great roles played by wrestlers.
Andre The Giant comes to mind in Princess Bride.
From what I’ve heard John Cena is just a legendary, selfless guy and had some success as did a handful of other wrestlers but mostly they were typecast and starred in B movies and ones that were “taking a chance”
Generally not staying in the film industry too long. Certainly not in major blockbusters.
On top of all the other luck, an exaggerated DJ and a slightly modified Rock, which happens to be a far better and more adaptable ring personality than a lot of other wrestlers.
And that makes for a fairly versatile actor.
You could argue hes typecast too, which is true.. but I think those things plus his talents make him far more versatile within the roles he gets. Far more so than most other wrestlers who have had lead roles in big movies.
Point being, he’s done very well for himself but I think sometimes people don’t quite realise, or at least acknowledge just how hard just about every A list actor works.
I don’t mean the stuff you see on social media, I mean the little anecdotes and stories that often have a way of finding a way off the set.
The things that really put into perspective just how professional and hard working these ladies and gents are if they make it to that level.
He's "NATURAL" is equivalent to :
Son of Billionaire is "Self Made Billionaire"
or
Kim Kardashian "Never Went Under the Knife"

Hardest worker, smartest worker, most determined worker. All logical reasons why he WOULD use rhoids. Its the smartest move to accomplish his current goals.

Hope you always stay that way, even as your channel get bigger and I wish you success and that you achieve all the things you set yourself to.
The people who believe Mr. Johnson is not on gear are probably the same ones who thought liver king was natty. My dad always used to tell me "there's a sucka born every second" the older I get the more those words resonate.

@@rh_BOSS I like that one too
That’s one of the most new york things i’ve ever heard lol
The "hard work" mantra is for the wage dwellers, not multi-millionaires with thick connections to higher places. Rockefeller didn't become the biggest oil tycoon with back-breaking labor, but by outsmarting the competition and taking risks where it paid off. Work smarter and leave the hard part to the perpetual dream chasers.
The only real question is whats his cycle? He’s lean year round, but still gaining mass at 50. Steroids or not, that’s very impressive.
Trt?
And when The Rock retires for good. You all are gonna be wishing you appreciated him while he was around. Instead of trying to criticize the guy every 5 minutes.
Not all of us are FANBOYS!!
Action star physiques are insane these days. I rewatched Temple of Doom quite recently and was genuinely a little surprised by Harrison Ford's physique - obviously a fit, healthy guy but no abs, to veins, no bulging definition. Of course there were guys like Arnie, Sly and Dolph but they were exceptional. There's so few everyman heroes anymore.
And thinking about it, it's not just action movies. In the original Amityville movie James Brolin was just a big guy, he looked like a working man in the 70's might. In the remake Ryan Reynolds played the same character but looked like an underwear model.
The guy who played Joel on the last of us is a good action star he is more relatable thats why a lot of guys like him and Sean Connery is another guy who isn’t on the juice like The Rock and other guys you mentioned who are taking roids.
Sean Connery is more masculine than The Rock and he doesn’t need big muscles for that.
@@toms986truth about pascal
@@toms986 Funnily enough Connery WAS a body builder and entered Mr Universe in 1953. But body building back then was nothing like what it became later. Their physiques were still achievable without hormones, steroids and insane diets.

@@WardenOfTerra He was Jack Ryan, Indiana Jones, and Han Solo. Are you fucking retarded?
It's worth remembering that at the time of his first mega-push (starting in late 1998), Rocky wore a shirt to wrestle for quite a while because he had gyno and then surgery to remove it. He didn't take his shirt off again until the wounds disappeared.
I remember it. His current fan base not so much. They were mostly in diapers. I like how they comment yet probably think lifting 20 pound weight 5 times is working hard and gaining gains.

The slow drawing of that horrifying Rock image throughout the video without ever being addressed is amazing.
😂😂😂😂😅
The Rock looked like Johnny bravo in his prime
Looks like an Esports gamer's thumb
Looks like those nightmare fuel ai images
I love it 😂
I liked The Rock's leaner look during 2000's, makes me super nostalgic. Really dislike his roid transformation since 2011, Dwayne got insecure with his "wrestler turned actor" fame fading and decided to base his entire career on how much muscles he could get.
The funny thing about "lean" Rock even in the early 2000s, especially during his Hollywood Heel gimmick, is that he was still huge compared to most other people he might be sharing the screen with. That was the best physique he probably ever had, from a purely functional standpoint. He looked like he could go 30 mins back to back in that ring and still appear convincing enough against bigger opponents.
Rock started pushing hgh, insulin and testosterone in 2011.... instead of just steriods, like when he was in WWF
@@jmr3178the rock was around 6'3" 220 in the early 2000s... saw him in person with my buddy who's 6'5"
@@gorillagas5546 his peak acting was in Be Cool, where he played a secretly feminine bodyguard for Vince Vaughn's character. Honestly, some of the best acting for a guy who was trying to portray a character that was both physically intimidating yet emotionally vulnerable.
IMO his best physique was in 2014 🔥🔥 GOALS for sure.
Anyone who thinks the Rock (or any celebrity that gets jacked for a role) isn't on gear, I have a bridge to sell you. Johnson is on so much sauce, he has to eat spaghetti everyday.
Great Video!! Fantastic!!
If you see the rock throw up a "C" after a big lift - thats for Christina Broccolini

what really shocked me a few years ago after joining the gym is how misinformed the average person is about working out. people really think that if you just keep working out and eating right youll just get bigger and bigger lol.
The plateau is real. I lifted natural for about 10 years, my bone structure severely limited how much muscle I could build. Never tried any ped's, the side effects are too scary
You can when you're young, just most people don't have the time or the motivation to keep up to something so intense. Besides, idk why anyone would want to. After a while, the shit does not look cool. Like even the rock looks weird now. Like maybe he should start playing thr villain
man, on the early days of me joining the gym. i followed the rock hercules work out routine with hope of getting big and bigger. it's basically a bro split with a lot of junk volume
You can if you have the genetics maybe not as big as the rock that’s unnaturally big but you can have the size and astethics just not that huge just big to the point that people will question if you’re natural I look unnatural but I’m natural never took anything so yeah some people CAN look insane without juicing but definitely not a 50 year old
@@jeremiahsymonette4781even if you're a teenager you can't just get bigger and bigger.
Oh this is about The Rock's physique, I thought the title meant his fake wholesomeness
One thing narrator, Peter maiva isn't the rock biological grandfather,peter maiva adopted the rock mother. , when he married the rock grandmother, he couldn't get his genetics from Peter maiva
A perfectly capable actor locked in a Faustian bargain with being a world recognizable symbol of physique well into his middle-age years past the point of being a true breakout voice for honest conversation around PE use in the entertainment and influencer industry. He also apparently keeps lying about trying In-N-Out for the first time which is wild lol.
Well ya know, HGH makes the head bigger, but not the brain inside!
Well, I've never tried a lot of popular things, does it make me a liar when I say I'm trying something for the first time? Unless you're following me around with a camera, you really have no idea what I've done before.
@@kiillabytezyeah, it would, if you said it like 4 different times like the rock. You can't try something for the first time four times
@@kiillabytez Except he has said the exact same thing multiple times, publicly, recording video and making a big deal out of it. So he's either lying, or it really is his first time trying In-N-Out each time because he's never been shown actually eating it, only showing off the food saying he *was* going to eat it. I guess if he never actually puts the food in his mouth, every time he buys it and makes an instagram post saying it's the first time he's trying it, it really is.
He’s unimaginably wealthy, I don’t know why he still does these embarrassing films
It’s quite simple really: The Rock got to Hollywood and realised people still looked at him as ‘The Wrestler’ so he lost a lot of the muscle to try and fit in. Then he realised without muscle he was just another guy, hell even with his WWE physique he wasn’t anything special so he went extremely the other way
Another issue Johnson faces with admitting the use of steroids is his relationship with the professional wrestling industry, one that has had it's own struggles against it's athletes and their steroid usage. Especially now as he's just been announced as a major shareholder within T.K.O. Group, the parent company of the most prominent pro-wrestling organisation in the world in WWE, there's very little chance he will ever be open and honest about history of supplement usage because it likely flows through his own WWE career.
Genijalna rekonstrukcija 👏👏👏
I think you missed a few things here:
1) You mention Pain and Gain, and I think this is where Rock made an important friendship. Mark Wahlberg, who is notorious for his roid use.
2) The Rock has filled the spot of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was making tens of millions as an action star. We know Arnie took roids, but he similarly says it was just experimenting as a youth. Look at Arnie in Conan and Terminator.
3) Rock will never come clean. He’s made his money. He grew up in wrestling. Wrestling and Hollywood have traditions of secrecy. Those who speak typically do so for the money, Rock will never need money.
At this point his entire brand is built on the lie, a lot of sponsors and whatnot wouldn’t want to work with him if he admitted it.
Wait a minute…wahlberg notorious steroid user? Where did that come from?
@@joefeeney5497 Just look up Mark Wahlberg Steroids. He was named by Richard Rodriguez as a client.
@@joefeeney5497He does not. He claims stuff like "Oh, I just fast and train twice a day that's why I packed on 20lbs in record time." But he still denies usage.

His portrayal of Big Lenny in Pain and Gain was incredible. Truly inspiring.
I cried

Woah! Look at that FREAK
It’s his best performance. The character effectively plays to his strengths.
A fellow Genova Witness I see
His biggest problem is his ego
Watching these guys actually get old is going to be heartbreaking if they even make it that far because once they stop taking the drugs, they are going to shrivel up and be sad shells of what we all know them as and it’s going to hit them hard that’s the thing when you make your whole entire personality based off of how you look that is a game you cannot win because time Makes no exceptions and always wins. Everyone grows old and we’ve become such a vain and shallow culture but we means so much to us that people are literally shortening their lives just to look a certain way it’s crazy.
There's no way he's considerably more built at 51 than he was at 30, without some kind of medicinal influence. You could argue that his WWF/WWE schedule meant he couldn't train and eat efficiently, but the fact still remains that his age is still a huge factor. I don't care about people using PEDs, but I do care when they lie about it and bullshit the public that their physiques are natural. Him and pretty much every other male celebrity out there. Rob McElhenney is the only celebrity I've heard who blatantly says his physique is unrealistic. He's also hinted that he's taken PEDs, without saying it outright.
Alan Ritchson also came clean about TRT
This is not a "Rock"/"Dwayne Johnson" problem; this is a problem with sports and entertainment as a whole(much bigger than just one person)
Its crazy because it's illegal. They should all be in prison for making millions off it's use
Video says that he is an " influencer " ( 🥴 ) with close to a 400 million idiots " following " him.
@@colinnixon7739 honestly it shouldn't be illegal. If we are so bitchy about women not being able to abort after being sluts, why the fuck can't a man juice? It's his body not yours so who the hell do you think you are telling him what to do? You know who else should be in prison? Biden but I don't see that happening. All the politicians should be in prison but it's not going to happen so just fucking stop it. Stupid pearl clutching morality police. They should be legalized because to be honest who the hell wants to live to be 65 anyway Life sucks for most of us
Maybe watch the video in which this is already brought up before stating the obvious

I never got why Hugh Jackman had to get so ripped as the movies went. He could've just stayed at the his level from the first movie; maybe keep some hair on his chest as well.

People either seem to forget or fail to notice that Rock is still a carnie wrestler at heart. You could watch Young Rock to see how he basically is doing what his dad did on a MUCH larger scale. It will always be about getting himself/his brand over. Hardest worker in the room has a double meaning because he’s definitely working marks on a regular basis.
Working marks😂😂
Imagine believing something you saw on “Young rock”
Exactly.
@@ElimGarakSpoonHead You have to know what your looking for.
Yet he put people over in his wwe career(remember the hurriance, booker t , chris jericho)
I can't believe this is a thing. He actually sells himself as not being on steroids? Literally no way. In the 2000's I would believe it, but now the guy's bigger than peak Ultimate Warrior. He's 100% on something.
Jim Hellwig was at his biggest before he ever became the "Dingo Warrior", let alone the "Ultimate Warrior". When he first wrestled (if you actually want to call it that) in the CWA and UWF, in a tag team with Steve Borden (who became "Sting" later on), he was so big, he had half-a-foot wide gaps between his arms hanging straight down and his ribcage/hips. He was so 'roided out, he could barely walk. Everything he did in the ring looked like complete garbage, he basically just did a very bad and awkward bodyslam, over and over... Figuratively speaking, he was twice the size that he had in the WWF. Completely absurd - 1985/86 Hellwig makes "Brakkus" look like a cruiserweight.
The warrior was a genetic FREAK
anyone who isn't a kid that says guys like The Rock are naturally huge because they have genetics or work hard, must be ignored and shammed, what a useless discussion
@@tonycezar1645 Dwayne makes that argument and isn’t a kid. As if I needed another reason to not like him lol.
Ultimate warrior are from 2 different era warrior was big in the 80’s until 1992 he had his own Wrestling school academy workout business in Arizona somewhere after he left wrestling due bad business’s deals his problems with Vince McMahon as he sued wwe twice in the 1990’s one in 92 during the steroid scandal time period and in 1996 when he came to the wwf back then during the new generation pre attitude era in the mid 90’s warrior suee again wwf then claiming he wanted to have the warriors name trying to change his name then missed a few house shows claiming he had attend his fathers funeral who barely was around his entire life. Then 2 years decided to go to WCW only to find out he wasnt as good he was on his prime 98 Halloween havoc with Hulk Hogan at MGM GRAND IN LAS VEGAS WAS A diaster he wasnt a marketable guy at that time dosnt get along woth the locker room or promoter weeks late after the PPV HE WAS REALEASED MONTHS LATER-ALSO SURD WCW FOR CHARACTER DEFAMITION AND WRONGFUL TERMINATION. While may have taken steroids throughout his life as a movie star and an athlete like Ultimate warrior the Rock is pretty much in Wrestling was like from his debut 1996 till 2004 only at times in 2012 2013 and 2014 making sparatic wwe appreances
From a video production standpoint i feel like theres some more you could do in the video, like when talking about the 12 meals you read all the ingredients but i think a visual representation would be more interesting and also easier to understand the weirdness of the diet.
Great video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
His incredible wealth, with literal teams of doctors and nutritionists on payroll, is likely the only reason Dwayne Johnson hasn't gone the same way as Rich Piana.
You think those people carried him to this? Comparing him to Rich is not valid.
RIch was using himself as a science experiment, though and definitely pushing things further than johnson
everyone in WWE has access to the doctors and roids. They are told to get huge. Which is funny how hollywood pretends like they dont do it.
Did you indirectly call Rich Piana poor?
@@RichardGarcia93side shamed him did he? Bastard
The slowly progressing image of The Stone always crackers me up.
Having a personal chef for all those meals must be nice... Nobody is doing all those dishes either.
You bring up him having to maintain that physique and how taxing it is; if you want examples, Chris Evans has talked openly about the amount of work it takes to maintain Captain America meaning he's just full time in the gym for half the year and that was clearly a motivating factor for him wanting to move on. And Bautista has just openly said he can't keep up that build going forward because he's aging out of it
But the thing is, Bautista can actually act.
@@Keyring7031and also, obviously juiced.
@@Keyring7031not really. There’s not a single memorable role he had

The Tunisian Alley Knife Fighting music makes me want to go over to the Big Apple Ranch and challenge Brother Joe to a duel
Lol i only realized me to when I read ur comment lol it's so true with me
Thank you for the video. I have respect for any person improving themselves and bulking up. However i also admire efficiency and having that much muscle is simply less efficient since it would require more energy to do anything. That is why what The Rock eats in a day could feed me for a week.
The title had me fooled.
I thought "The Rock Problem would be his ability to raise the profile of a project but it ultimately ends up being bad.
sadly there's becoming a wider divide between "good quality" and "financially successful".
The rock is truly an embodiment of his name. He’s not human, he’s a rock. He has the same personality and appeal as a rock that has been sculpted by his agents and has never been changed.
I really appreciate your active approach to young men's health mentally and physically. You cover a lot of topics that I find myself wanting to be more talked about and it's refreshing every time to see the positive responses people leave on your personal observations. This is a frickin' sweet vid, thanks Beige!
You forgot to say "He is also a hollow shell of a man".
I agree. It takes complete full time job dedication and scheduling and prep. Most people don’t have the luxury in time.
What annoys me more is that I think he can genuinely act well he just doesn’t try to push himself to
Truly, 'pain and gain' shows us that he can. I don't know why he didn't keep going down that path with his acting ability. He could've dropped this need to always be huge.
Patrick Willem has a great video on this exact topic
Put on that dress first!
He's an excellent actor....he just keeps choosing certain roles and seem like he's just going through the motion or just sticking to a basic formula and not wanting to step outside that same formula...that said Hollywood itself is kinda formulaic right now though.
Have you seen him play Danny De Vito in Jumanji 2? That's good acting right there
The Rock's gotten so huge over the years it's insane. I actually thought the 'Hollywood Rock' from the early 2000s suited him best. Still a big guy, but leaner, more realistically proportioned. Rock has constrained himself into the 'Big Muscle Guy' main character role for movies meaning that if he loses the muscle, his brand goes out along with it. Instead he could have diversified his roles as he got older, but I guess he's gonna stay jacked for as long as it Hollywood career continues. It's strange, I liked him a lot as a wrestler, but I haven't cared for his movie roles or even his WWE appearances. He feels... stale? Is that the proper term? I think that after nearly twenty years of playing the same character, albeit a watered down version of it in the movies, it would have been nice to see if he had a bit of range.
he even still does the eyebrow thing from his WWF days...
His Hollywood career is longer then his wrestling career.
Hollywood Rock was one of his best phases ever, and he looked great too
@@GAURAV25855ify4 times longer, 23 years vs 6 years
@@Immortal_Liberty true where time goes
I always felt like he was gonna go the Arnold route, where he gets into politics which allows him to finally get off the gear and downsize without people judging too harshly when it's said and done.
"Ninja turtle like traps" LMAO
I really miss Dwayne working in front of live crowds. He can work a stadium like nobody's business. He can make 81,000 people eat out of the palm of his hand. However, in 20 years, I have never so much as even cracked a smile at Dwayne in the theatres. Film does a great job at sucking out every single iota of charisma from The Rock. Also, being twice as built at 52 than you were at 26 tells me that you're blowing $3-5 million on medical consultations a year. Also, 6-8k calories per day is the diet of a Japanese Sumo Wrestler, who work 15 days in a row each tournament, which is every 45 days, and for the 45 days they are not in tournament they are training and sparring for 8 hours each day. The Rock at 6-8k calories would be built like the real life Yokozuna.
The Rock was my hero when I was a kid, as I imagine he was for many other kids out there. It had been a frustrating experience watching such an electrifying character seemingly lose most of the charisma he once had.
they are mixing up CALORIES and KiloJoules = kilojoules are higher than calories , about 3-4 times... which would make theyr claims valid = 6000 KJ - kilojoules is what they seem to eat !
@@WithScienceAsMySheperd True, thank you for the correction. Rikishi eat 5-6KJ, which is in actuality closer to 18-20,000 calories per day. Still, I do believe my point somewhat stands- if perhaps a less dramatic.
It's hard to imagine an artist preferring to work in the medium of professional wrestling. But...hear me out, what if he did a sequel to the movie "No Holds Barred"?
@@BeigeFrequency He's just a professional shill now and it's pretty sad to see. His movies are also trash and I think "The Smashing Machine" is probably his attempt to actually make a real movie for the first time in his life. He probably realized that even though he's worth all of this money as an actor he's never made anything that will stand the test of time outside of his WWE career.
This goes for everything online, but we've entirely lost touch with reality when people can look at the rock and think its natural. Most of what people think is so unbelievably detached
Hey regardless of Monsieur Rock's workout/food intake. Am i correct in remembering if you're maxing out at around 3-8 reps per set then you're building strength, and if you're doing 10-20 it's more of a strength maintenance workout? Im mostly doing weighted calisthenics and kettlebell workouts. I know fitness can always become super complicated, but i'm just looking for a general rule of thumb
What I love is that you never know what you're going to get with your videos.
What I love? Farting in the bathtub.
lol
I think The Rock played Resident Evil 5, and after seeing Chris Redfield punch that boulder out of the way probably figured, "I could probably do that."
Rock vs Boulder
Why's it so hard to believe they're eating babies?
Look at those varicose veins, vein damage @6:14, damaged blood flow due to valves in the veins rupturing. This was further showcased in suicide squad as his role of peacemaker as not a health problem, but a show of strength.
Arnie was so big and defined, that he completely changed both the bodybuilding world and the acting world. There's a definite cut right when he shows up, when actors became way more concerned with their muscular physique. look at tough guys in the past, Lee Marvin, Kirk Douglas, Charles Bronson, all those guys were in great shape, but it was more a look of athleticism or "Military readiness" if you will. They weren't jacked, in comparison to today's stars.
...And they certainly didn't entertain their physique for as long as they do today... Although Clint Eastwood looked incredible well into his 60s...

Just compare Kyle Reese (Michael Beihn) in T1 vs Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) in Genisys. The character is coming from a future where famines are the norm instead of the exception. How the fuck did you find the food or time to get those muscles? 😄

Dwayne wants to be 'the smartest worker'. Hard to call it smart constantly stressing your heart, working through physical inflammation, and abusing substances as a middle-aged man. That's going to catch up with him, before long. The body needs rest and healing as much if not more than exercise.
Not a single word about cardio in his never-ending stream of workout-diet-biggest-wanker-in-the-room blah-blah.
He doesn't have the 'roid monkey "hereditary heart condition" wheeze yet, as far as I can tell. I might actually watch him wrestle again, just to see how quickly he blows up and turns purple.

The Rock that is the only one who appears on Joe Rogan to get people to turn on him, he somehow charmed Rogan into not asking him the deep stuff

@@stellviahohenheim Incorrect. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the Rogan first dude. Hmmm… what do they have in common with the Rock????
@@eduardblackbeard3913 agree. He most likely told Rogan he wouldnt do the interview, if the topic of gear came up. Thats why even when Rogan asked him about his training and how he has so much energy all the time, Rock gave a vague answer about scheduling or some other BS.

I love that Mark Wahlberg headline: "40 lbs of Muscle in 7 Weeks." That's hilarious. Even if you were on the largest stack known to man for 7 weeks, you would _not_ gain 40 lbs of muscles 😂
