Although John Cena is regarded by many as one of the best professional wrestlers of all time, many are unaware of his beginnings in the bodybuilding business. Cena was so passionate about the field that he pursued a degree in exercise physiology and body movement after graduating.
Cena continued to enter the bodybuilding ring and began exercising at Gold’s Gym. He began working at the gym to help make ends meet. Nonetheless, he entered the world of professional wrestling after receiving notoriety from his first gym advertisement. The Cenation Leader developed his personality throughout his brief bodybuilding career, which prepared him for all of his future pursuits.
Showcasing his abilities in the gym, Dr. Mike Israetel, an exercise scientist, recently talked about the WWE star’s lower body conditioning on his YouTube channel. Israetel was taken aback by the harsh operation the WWE star was going through. He makes the case that Cena’s training schedule makes sense given his employment in professional wrestling.
Looking at his low-bar squats at 277 kg (610.68lb), Mike was startled. “This is officially impressive. Very few people can do this.”, said Mike. He also praised Cena for doing every exercise in the right manner. “He’s doing way more sh*t right than wrong.”, he further continued saying, “If you’re mostly Hollywood and not wrestling, then you mostly do sh*t wrong and not right.”
It was an unusual instance where a critic was persuaded by someone’s training techniques because Israetel was intrigued by Cena’s background. Exercise Scientist bestowed upon Cena an outstanding score of 9.33 out of 11.
John Cena’s insane Bench Press record
The 16-time WWE Champion holds a personal best of 487 pounds (221 kg) for bench press. Nine long years have passed since the Leader of Cenation gave the fans access to his Bench Press PR. Fans had a general understanding of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Cena easily outclassed him. But he managed to regain the record.
His record in Deadlift is 295 kg (650 lbs), which is impressive seeing his physique. In snatch lifting, Cena has a personal record at 138 kg (305 lbs). In terms of Power clean lifting, he has a staggering record of 160 kg (353 lbs).
