To reach 300 plus pounds you have to have a very sizable caloric intake along with heavy compound weightlifting to gain that kind of mass.

This guy is such an inspiration. A huge great muscular wrestler who decided to become an actor. Not an ex wrestler that makes movies. An actor. He has actively pursued roles to challenge himself and to educate him. It would’ve been fairly easy to follow in the footsteps of others (and no, I do not have any desire to denigrate any of them or any of their choices ) but he decided to go his own way and become something else entirely. And it’s working. He also seems to be a genuinely humble man who doesn’t seem to be attempting to prove anything to anyone other than himself. I hope I have him right.
