Dude he was just naturally a stong freak. I dont think it had a thing to do with his routine Alexx. He played football by me out here in PA.

Another example, James Mungro of the Indianapolis colts...He went to the neighbouring school to mine.  He was naturally built like a bodybuilder. Naturally strong..he hardly would train legs, actually, compared to how we train, you would say he didnt know how to train- yet he was strong as hell, fast, etc...(we would train in the same gym, nice guy)

genetics man...

football in PA? He did college at Univ Miami and trains at a gym in Weston FL (his family still lives nearby)/ He is very kind, cool with no entourage.

Be careful not to read everything you believe or to believe everything you read. The guy is Samoan and every Samoan I have ever seen in the gym was incredibly strong = genetics.

Bone Density and short Muscles and Higher bodyfat,(Better Mechanical Advantage) tend to make these guys decent lifters, but not for their bodyweight. :)

They tend to be prone to carry higher bodyfat levels even at lower calories.  I have noticed this with certain Asians as well.

Samoans have no distinct advantage. First time the rock steped into the gym at 13 he missed a 135 bench press but next week got it.

No he never had implants... ::)

As for the piss poor comment yes its true. When his agent sent him to Calgary (Canada) to play in the CFL. He shared a room with 4 other players and was going through trash to find a decent piss free matress. He would go to the meetings uninvited to get some a free sub or two which would last him the better part of the whole week.

But he still remained huge and strong even living on possibly lower than 1000 calories.

After a few months he went back home and started on his wrestling career with his father.

i saw this on E true hollywood story or one of those shows.  As Alex said, he was a disgusting fatbody (college lineman).  I remember seeing his pictures and thinking "wow, what a fat piece of shit".  Then if i remember right, he got super skinny in his homeless days, then "naturally" put on the weight that he has now.  In my misguided youth, i went to a wwe show and saw him in person.

Most of these wrestlers are much smaller in person than on tv; a lot of them are tall as hell though.

Man if you have ever hung around any D1 potential atheletes you would know that a bench press of 300-400lbs is common for these guys - remember there is a reason why they are at these elite schools. I played OT/G at a D2 school and at 18 years old when at summer 3-A-DAYs (man those were a biiietch) my bench was 370 (all natural too) my weight was 285lb at 6'0ft - my roommate from Buffalo NY did 400lb on bench and this fucker did box squats with 315 for sets of 50 NO BULL SHIT!!! He would never max out on squats - he was scared he'd hurt his back so he just stayed with 315 and upped the reps. All the upper classmen (O linemen) did over 400 on bench. If you really wanna see some shit, you should see what some ball players do with hang cleans!!!

The Rock has long arms....I would think his ability to bench press heavy is pretty difficult
