Cupping..... I actually had vaccum cups fix my Pec which was jacked up for 2 years and felt like it was going to rip in half on the stretch portion of an incline DB press, there was something bound up in there.. one cupping session and whatever was in there was gone.. So it has merit in the right circumstance... Also with a self auto cupper I fixed a shoulder injury that was nagging for 3 years and neither of those issues has returned in the last year... I think its good for old injuries that just other things cant fix.. Also nice shirt, I train at that gym all the time in vegas..

[@SSJ4noname]

Sir make video about Max Hall channel. Son have interesting strenght and humour

[@risanicola7099]

So, what do you do if you NEED that wide stance to hit depth? I been training awhile & my toes need alot of external rotation and my hips need a wide stance to hit depth unless I’m specifically elevating heels a ton for quads. I hit a block if I don’t have that wide stance so don’t some ppl need a wide stance? And isn’t that ok?

[@martox3560]

well he himself said he did this: "4 knee surgeries Torn quadricep off my pelvis Torn adductor off my pelvis Triple hernia surgery Ruptured Achilles' tendon Completely shoulder reconstruction 3 low back disc herniations 2 low back disc ruptures" and that is 3 years ago so no idea how it is now.

Goddamn. Looking like the Rock doesn't sound that appealing anymore lol.

[@taunokekkonen5733]

So the Rock has torn a quad off your pelvis? Did it hurt?

[@zephirol4638]

I wonder how many of those are from stunt/performance accidents vs weight training vs sports injury from his younger days

Apparently the rock has had 4 knee surgeries, may be a reason for his lack of ROM.

The knee surgery is supposed to fix you. The reason that his knees are made of glass is because he doesn't go full rom.

[@michaelborgias5332]

NOT to mention this was before his match at Wrestlemania. So his heavy days are done this is to get some work in while no kind of risk of injury. He went out that next day and worked a match for 40 mins. Pro body builders go home and rest…and this guys still an athlete and needs to move and perform. Major difference.

[@AsafBabar]

The impersonations were all ON-POINT! 🤣🤣 Thanks for the tip on the different training values of full ROM vs different portions of it. I’m also a big fan of The Rock, and have also heard of his multiple (including lower body) serious injuries… I was moving my own lower body in similar ways to The Rock in this video, when I’d inflamed my patellar tendons in the past (even though that was nowhere near as serious as The Rock’s injuries).

[@nbarealtalker]

This was his prep for Wrestlemania so I think muscular endurance was prioritized over hypertrophy. And all his ROM is because of his endless lower body surgeries.

[@TheMlerich30]

Johnson tore his ACL in college football and has had numerous knee injuries

[@ericcurry-pitcher5493]

I don't think the Rock is worried about growing as much as possible, he just needs to keep things happening within his muscle groups. His training is partially due to injury, but he also doesn't need to train like those who are further behind in their journey. If that's you definitely follow the Doctors orders. If you are going for it, and injury free by all means.

I say this only after you casually make a joke that you are nothing compared to the "greatness" of the Rock. F**k the rock, I'll take RP any day.
