Bodybuilding is a sport that gave birth to G.O.A.T. personalities, and one of these celebrated legends of all time are, The Rock and Phil Heath.

Dwayne Johnson, often referred to as The Rock, is an American and Canadian actor, producer, and semi-retired professional wrestler.

The Rock was initially billed as Rocky Maivia—a combination of his father and grandfather’s names—until he was renamed by then-WWF president Gorilla Monsoon in 1996. He quickly rose up through the ranks of WWE, winning his first WWF Championship in 1998. He subsequently helped lead the company during what has been termed the “Attitude Era”.

On the other hand Phil Heath, the world-renowned bodybuilder who has won the Mr. Olympia title seven times. Born in Seattle, Washington, Heath first began lifting weights at the age of 18. He quickly rose to prominence in the world of bodybuilding, winning his first Mr. Olympia title in 2011.

DAY 7- REST DAY

In his quest to become Mr. Olympia, Phil Heath has employed a variety of different training methods. One such method is the Fascia Stretch Training system, popularly known as FST-7.

FST-7 is a training protocol that involves performing seven sets of a given exercise, with the goal of stretching the fascia surrounding the muscle being worked. This type of training is believed to lead to greater muscle growth due to the increased time under tension and resulting increase in blood flow to the muscles.

Heath has found success by combining FST-7 with other tested exercises, such as heavy compound lifts and higher-rep isolation work. This combination has allowed him to build an impressive physique that has earned him seven Mr. Olympia titles.

Heath starts his day with a cup of black coffee and a protein shake made with whey protein, almond milk, and banana. For breakfast, he’ll have eggs (usually three), oatmeal, and fruit. Lunch is usually grilled chicken or fish, rice, and vegetables. And for dinner, he’ll have another protein shake or a meal of lean meat and vegetables.

In between meals, Heath snacks on healthy foods like nuts, fruits, and vegetables. He also drinks plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated.

Words From Sheru Classic

The Rock and Phil Heath are two different people in their profession. The Rock is an actor and a producer, while Phil Heath is a bodybuilder. While they may have different professions, they both have commonalities. Both The Rock and Phil Heath follow a strict diet plan that includes a lot of protein and healthy fats. They also consume a lot of calories to support their muscle growth. In addition, both bodybuilders supplement their diet with creatine and other performance-enhancing supplements.

Even though their schedules are different, both men place a high importance on their workouts. Both The Rock and Phil Heath’s workout routine is the amount of time they spend working out each day. Both men typically spend around 2 hours in the gym, focusing on different muscle groups each day. This allows them to get the most out of their workouts and see results quickly.

Another commonality is the type of exercises they perform during their workouts. Both The Rock and Phil Heath focus on compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups at once. This helps them to build strength and size quickly. Some of the common exercises they perform are squats, deadlifts, and bench presses.

While there are some similarities in their approach to training, there are also some key differences. The Rock typically does more cardio than Phil Heath, as he wants to maintain a high level of conditioning for his movie roles. Heath, on the other hand, focuses more on isolation exercises though he also added cardio exercise in his workout routines, to help him build size and shape.

Despite their different approaches, both The Rock and Phil Heath have had success in their careers. The Rock is one of the biggest movie stars in the world, while Heath is a seven-time Mr Olympia champion.
