(CelebNMusic247-News) Dwayne Johnson Bulks Up for Hercules

While the Rock preps for his upcoming roll as Hercules the action star shows fans just what it takes to play a demi-god and why he gets paid the big buck.

There’s no padding for this film, its all Rock 100% Dwayne Johnson muscled out.

But what does The Rock do to prepare to slay the nine headed dragon? He goes hardcore in the gym, eats 7 meals a day and hits the gym regularly.

That seems to be the lesson Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would like his followers to take away this week from his Twitter feed, which currently abounds with photos of the diet and exercise regimen that’s getting the already huge WWE alum even more ginormous for his starring role in “Hercules: The Thracian Wars.”

Take a look:

Example A, from the on-set workout trailer: This one, according to The Rock, is a “one-legged squat lunge.” Don’t try this at home unless the one leg you’re lunging is, like his, the size of a studio apartment in Manhattan
