A giant…with abs?
We know many of you guys aren’t the biggest WWE fans but this story is awesome for anyone into fitness. In a recent interview with WWE.com, wrestling superstar “The Big Show” reveals that he has shed 70 lbs of fat from his 7’0″, 441 lb frame. Always a force to be reckoned with, the big show now not only looks imposing but might beat you in a pose off as well.
The 18 year veteran says his quest to get shredded started from a conversation with other WWE superstar John Cena:
“We were talking about getting in shape and I said, ‘Ah, what the hell is a giant gonna do with abs?’ and John looked at me with a straight face and said, ‘Yeah. A giant with abs. That wouldn’t be marketable at all.’ And he walked off. It was kind of a shot, but [later] John reached out and congratulated me on the work I’ve done. That meant a lot. “
Big Show credits his current physique to trainer Dodd Romero and his high rep training plan. “Everything from 50 reps, 35 reps, 21 reps. I’m not trying to build muscle right now, I’m trying to keep my metabolism up, keep my tendons strong, keep my joints good and cut a lot of fat.”
