Are you man enough?

With WWE Payback coming up this Sunday, all eyes are on the wrestlers set to perform on the action packed card. With Ryback facing off against Bray Wyatt and a the four way Heavyweight Championship match against Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambroise, and Roman Reigns, that leaves only one other match up of major interest: the battle between John Cena and Rusev for the US Championship.

After all these years of dominating the competition as a WWE mainstay, John Cena is still going strong and giving out some impressive performances. The wrestler and former bodybuilder just has the right attitude and athletic ability to keep things interesting. If you’re a true wrestling fan, as well as a bodybuilding and weightlifting fan for the matter, then there’s no way you shouldn’t be admire Cena’s ring mastery as well as his hard earned physique. He not only has to lift heavy to obtain the bulging muscles he possesses, but also has a strict diet that allow him to be not only huge in size, but a shredded as well.

For many athletes there’s no doubt that leg day is the perhaps the most taxing lifting day out of the split training regimen and it’s with good reason. Of all the lifting days, leg day is perhaps the only one that you’ll see some lifters passing out from the effort. You have to not only be strong in body, but in mind as well. You can’t perform a squat or deadlift worried about whether you can push or pull the weight. You have to have the mentality of a warrior in order to overcome any hurdle. It’s for that reason that John Cena should garner tons of respect. Even if he fails at a lifting attempt, even if he’s tired and worn down, he’s never beaten.

Check out the leg day training that has made John Cena such an athletic beast in the squared circle.
