The Rock Reveals the Diet That Got Him Shredded for Black Adam
How The Rock ate to get shredded for Black Adam role.
Black Adam is clearly a passion project for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He pushed his body to the absolute limit in order to portray this iconic DC Comics character. He not only put in some serious training, but he also modified his diet in order to get into shredded condition.
The Rock has documented most of his training for the film. It’s clear that his physique has become truly impressive to behold. That said, it takes more than lifting to get into such incredible shape. It also takes adhering to a well constructed diet.
In a recent video, The Rock revealed the diet he’s been on in order to get and remain shredded for Black Adam.
This coming week is a big one – our final week of production for the filming of BLACK ADAM⚡️
All the training, the diet?, with Covid it’s been 2 years of character, story and production prep and it all culminates to next week.
Here’s a look at my breakfast/
Sodium pulled.
Water limited.
Flank, egg whites, brown rice and blueberries
Dialing all the conditioning in as we save the hardest scenes for last.
Appreciate you guys so much for all the BLACK ADAM support – I think we’re making a movie and creating a universe that’s definitive, unique, bad ass and cool.
Fingers crossed ?? we bring it on home strong next week.
Stay disciplined, focused and trust in the process.
And shovel it all in and drink it all down ?
It’s clear that The Rock has been very disciplined in his approach to his diet. In order to stay in optimal condition the actor had to stick to his strict regimen while training to maintain his heavily muscled frame. While it may seem like a simple task to train, eat right, and read your lines, the reality is that The Rock had to essentially perform like an athlete.
Doesn’t look like much, but here’s my Saturday night post leg training meal/
ground tenderloin, brown rice with broccoli ? & pineapple?(for digestion ?)
With 8oz-10oz of water.
All my 6 meals per day are strictly measured out – including water and sodium – as we go into our final three weeks of production for the filming of BLACK ADAM.
Commit, push all chips in and do your best to trust the process ??
While it may have been an acting role, The Rock essentially needed to be a high level athlete to bring the character of Black Adam to life. He needed to push his body to places he never had to before. That is truly saying something for someone who has played high level football and performed as a professional wrestler. It really must have been a tall task, The Rock admitting that himself.
The Rock was truly in the best shape of his life for this film. It will be interesting to see how Black Adam turns out.

The Kai Greene and Phil Heath Rivalry Heats Up As Both Call Each Other Out
Kai Greene to Phil Heath: “You Can’t Stop The Inevitable”
Kai Greene and Phil Heath have called each other out. The veteran bodybuilders are all but confirming that they will clash once more in the the future. A series of Twitter and Instagram posts are supporting the notion that Kai versus Heath is inevitable.
So we can finally say that both Phil Heath and Kai Greene are not done with competing just yet. While the internet has been speculating the return of both bodybuilders, the two have all but confirmed that they’ll do battle in the future.
The rivalry between Kai Greene and Phil Heath is well documented. For several years Kai tried to unseat Heath as the Olympia champion. While he always came close, Kai was unable to defeat his bitter rival. Heath was able to secure his position as Olympia champion, pushing back every challenge that has come his way.
That was years ago now. Both Kai Greene and Phil Heath have moved onto greener pastures. They have started supplement lines and continue to make guest posing appearances. Both men have also pursued ventures outside of bodybuilding. But no matter what, bodybuilding competition is in their veins and both men have been hinting at a return.
Well now it appears that both men are ready to throw down. In a series of recent posts, both Kai Greene and Phil Heath have called each other out.
YOU CAN NOT STOP THE INEVITABLE!KAI VS PHIL
This isn’t the first time Kai Greene declared war on Phil Heath either. The Twitter exchange pictured above is proof that both men are ready to compete again. More specifically, both are ready to compete against each other.
WAR IS COMING!!!!!!#KAI VS #PHILMARK YOUR CALENDARS
There’s nothing quite like a good beef to stoke the flames of excitement in the fans. Kai Greene has previously called out Phil Heath, but didn’t get a public response from the seven-time Olympia champion. Now it seems that Heath is down for the challenge and isn’t hiding it.
Phil Heath has also called out another top bodybuilder recently. Heath took shots at 2019 Olympia champion Brandon Curry. There is no love lost between the two and a call out from Heath shows that the competitive flames are still burning within the seven-time Olympia champion. With his call out of Curry and now his back and forth with Kai, it’s safe to say we haven’t seen the last of Phil Heath.
Things are certainly heating up. While we may have wait to see these men battle on a bodybuilding stage, these recent events have made it clear that showdown is inevitable.
What do you think of a potential Kai Greene versus Phil Heath match up?

George Farah: The Biggest Mistake Bodybuilders Make When Cutting Weight
[embedded content]
George Farah explains the true key to cutting weight without diminishing muscle.
George Farah is one of the most legendary bodybuilding coaches in the history of the sport. So when he can share some vital advice to the masses on bodybuilding nutrition and dieting – it’s important to pay attention. In an era where being a mass monster is becoming increasingly more about heavier weight, it’s important to know how to get shredded properly. It’s a struggle, for example, that Big Ramy had for many years before finally earning his Mr. Olympia victory. In our latest GI Exclusive, George Farah details the biggest mistake to avoid when cutting weight in bodybuilding.
The notion of spot reducing fat has been debunked many times by many people. So the unfortunately truth is, if you have impressive muscle but flabby weak areas – there’s no way to spot check the fat without sacrificing the muscle. So how do bodybuilders cut down weight after a bulking cycle without diminishing their hard earned muscle?
We turned to legendary bodybuilding coach George Farah for his advice on this specific topic. His answer is direct, insightful, and something that all bodybuilders should heed when looking long term into their training and dieting plans. There is no trick to only burning fat without burning muscle. Instead, it’s important to prepare for the inevitability that you’ll need to cut down some weight and size overall.
George Farah claims that the biggest mistake bodybuilders make is not staying in shape during the off season. While bulking and cutting is a typical cycle for competitive bodybuilders – the bulking phase should not get too out of control. Farah holds nothing back when explaining this during our interview:
“Whatever you’re doing, you’re still going to lose muscle when you diet down. Especially if you gain a lot of fat. That’s why I tell people, listen, don’t call yourself a bodybuilder if you don’t have your abs in the off season.”
George Farah goes on to say how he “never understands” how bodybuilders are so shocked when they start cutting and end up losing much more weight than expected. This is because they put on more fat than they think – and unfortunately – muscle is always lost as well during this process.
That’s why a dirty bulk is often frowned upon by serious competitive bodybuilders. Dirty bulk is when you eat any kind of unhealthy food simply to build weight while you are pumping up muscle in the gym. A clean bulk relies on healthier foods so that you have less fat during the bulking phase.
Still, even with a clean bulk, how do you prevent losing too much muscle and underperforming on size and shape before a competition? George Farah says that the cutting phase needs to be longer than most bodybuilders think. Cutting should start off earlier and a bodybuilder should ease into it.
Cutting needs to start slow and progressively become more focused as you get closer to the show. This way you can see how your body reacts, and focus on training certain muscle areas that might start burning away. Adding more time and building your weight loss diet up slowly allows for more time to adjust, more time to fix weak areas of muscle, and more time overall to be prepared on the weekend of a competition.
So for your next cycle of building up muscle, ask yourself, “Do I still have abs during the offseason?” If the answer is no, you should reconsider how you are bulking. You are likely looking at problems down the road when it comes time to burning off weight and prepping your shred.

Mike O’Hearn: The Foolproof Way To Stop Haters Online
[embedded content]
Mike O’Hearn details his tactics for not only avoiding hate online but also preventing it from affecting his mental state.
Bullying has always existed in the world. And it’s been a serious problem that can lead to painful mental health problems for victims. This has been exacerbated with the boom of online and social media. Instead of someone in your local community bullying you – it can be anyone from around the world. Not only that, it can be an army of voices. This can have serious consequences on your mental health. Public figures, such as celebrity bodybuilders, are beacons for attention. This also means being a beacon for bullying, hate, and vile comments. In our latest GI Exclusive, Mike O’Hearn shares his fool proof tips for stopping hate and how he avoids letting them get under his skin.
Mike O’Hearn is no stranger to hate online. Between the constant claims that he is lying about being natural and your general run of the mill online trolls – O’Hearn has had his fair share of hurtful comments lobbed at him. But you wouldn’t know that by speaking with him. Much like O’Hearn’s superhuman commitment to his training schedule for over 30 years, he rarely twitches when it comes to hate directed at him. What’s his secret?
During our recent conversation with Mike O’Hearn, we asked him his tactics with dealing with haters online. The information he shared is advice on two fronts – mental tactics for your own health and actionable tactics to prevent more hate in the future.
On the mental front, Mike O’Hearn urges anyone who faces online hate to realize that the people commenting are “below you.” What he means by that is – a bully is someone who feels the need to make petty comments at you. They are not someone you know. They are likely not someone you would respect. The mere fact that you, most likely, would not make such hateful comments online shows that you are in a better place than the hater. O’Hearn stresses that this must be remembered. People who are more powerful than you rarely would take the time to attack you in such a way.
That’s easier said than done of course. A barrage of hateful comments online can pierce even the strongest of minds. So it’s also important to not allow the hateful comments through. It’s sometimes frowned upon for public figures to police their comment sections. Blocking can be seen as a disingenuous gesture to hide the “truth” of their fanbase. Mike O’Hearn couldn’t disagree more.
O’Hearn opens up about how liberally he blocks people on his comment pages. Even for one slight offense – he and his team will block the user permanently. Why? Because it’s not the truth of his fanbase. Odds are they aren’t a fan at all. And why would he subject himself to reading such awful statements day in and day out? Mike O’Hearn believes that all people with any online presence should do the same. The cleaner you can keep your online pages – the happier you will be when interacting with your fans online.
At the end of the day, Mike O’Hearn makes it clear with a direct statement, “Trolls are complete losers.” That might not mean it’s easy to prevent them from getting under your skin. That’s why if you follow O’Hearn’s two tactics, you might create a new mindset in your relationship with not only your fans but yourself. Out of sight, out of mind.
You can watch Mike O’Hearn go into full detail about how he deals with hate and bullying online in our latest GI Exclusive interview segment above!
Phil Heath Takes a Shot at Brandon Curry and His Legs
Phil Heath takes aim at rival Brandon Curry.
Phil Heath appears to be fanning the flames of rivalry. It appears that Heath has taken a shot at 2019 Olympia champion Brandon Curry. According to a recent video on YouTube, Heath took a shit at Curry, expressly pointing out his old rival’s legs.
There’s nothing quite like a good rivalry to get fans excited. A little bit of trash talk can go a long way in building excitement and anticipation. Just ask Kai Greene. But the real question on many people’s minds is whether this call out confirms that Phil Heath is making a return to action.
While it could be a bit of a stretch, Phil Heath criticizing Brandon Curry on his legs could be viewed as a direct challenge. If he’s directly challenging Curry then that in turn could mean Heath is gearing up to face off with his new rival once more. Throw in the recent challenge from Kai Greene and you can speculate that Heath will once again step onto an Olympia stage.
Shots Fired
The call out in question was from a training video posted on Andrei Deiu’s YouTube channel. The video is of Deiu and Derek Lunsford training legs under the watchful eye of Hany Rambod. During the training session Rambod had Phil Heath on a video call where The seven-time Olympia champion took aim at Brandon Curry.
When taking the measure of Derek Lunsford’s legs Heath had this to say:
“They’re better than Brandon’s.
“You could teach him some things.”
The conversation occurs about six minutes into the video, which you can see here.
With all that said, Phil Heath is likely just taking aim at what Brandon Curry is self conscious about. Curry had stated he intended to get his legs to the next level in order to compete with Big Ramy. From the looks of things, Curry is well on his way to building legs that could challenge the 2020 Olympia champion.
What do you think of Phil Heath taking aim at Brandon Curry? Do you think Heath will make a return in 2021?

Guy Cisternino: Branch Warren Still Trains Today Harder Than 90% Of Pro Bodybuilders
[embedded content]
Guy Cisternino talks on how Branch Warren inspires him, the power of rivalries, and the new school bodybuilders rising in the ranks.
Guy Cisternino is a bodybuilder who believes in hardcore training. So it may come as no surprise that one of his biggest inspirational bodybuilders is Branch Warren. Branch is known for his insanely hardcore training – which you can witness in depth in the original Generation Iron film. In our latest GI Exclusive interview, Guy Cisternino talks about training with Branch Warren today and how he still pushes harder than most active pro bodybuilders.
Guy Cisternino is a unique brand of pro bodybuilder. He likes to focus on the intensity of the sport – which is probably why he got into some social media hot water after a recent video went viral. That’s why we wanted to know who his biggest inspirations are that got him into bodybuilding. Cisternino named a few legendary athletes such as Kevin Levrone. But at the end of the day, the bodybuilder who still inspires him most to this day is Branch Warren.
Branch Warren no longer competes and has been retired for quite some time. That being said, he still maintains his massive physique and enjoys training in the gym. Not only that, but Branch still goes full hardcore on his sets even in retirement.
Guy Cisternino recounts how he just met up with Branch Warren recently for a training session. What was most refreshing to Cisternino is that Branch still trained like a beast. He has no reason to anymore other than personal enjoyment of the intensity of lifting. It’s a feeling that Cisternino can relate to.
Not only that, but he believes that Branch Warren trains harder than most pros today:
“As far as training and who still inspires me today, believe it or not, is Branch man. Because Branch is retired and he’s like – I was with Branch last week in Dallas and he just – he still trains like a fucking animal. Like I love it. He still trains retired harder than 90 percent of the pros.”
It’s a bold claim – but one that we wouldn’t doubt. Branch Warren often received criticism for training too hardcore. That he would bring himself too big a risk of injury and ruin his career. Perhaps it’s that kind of risk taking that Guy Cisternino misses in the modern crop of bodybuilders.
Speaking of modern bodybuilders, Guy Cisternino also touches on the recent rivalries cropping up in pro bodybuilding. He touches upon Blessing Awodibu and Nick Walker’s pre New York Pro beef. Cisternino also shares his thoughts on the overall new crop of bodybuilders and which ones are showing promise to become champions down the road.

Top 5 Moves For Massive Arms
Arms are one of the cornerstones of any self-respecting bodybuilder’s workout routine.
When you picture someone working out at the gym, probably the first image that comes to mind is someone lifting weights. That’s because getting totally shredded, massive arms is basically the birthright of every bodybuilder. But are you sure that you’re getting the most gains for the energy you’re exerting? Here are the top 5 moves that are essential for making massive gains in your arms.
1. Bicep Curls
Bicep curls are probably the best exercise you can be doing to increase muscle mass in your arms. This is because they force you to keep your back completely straight as you lift, which focuses the muscular tension of your entire body down into your arms as you lift. It’s a simply exercise, but it’s a classic for a reason – it really works.
One tip for great, effective bicep curls is to increase the intensity of your workout by using a “thumb-less grip.” If you keep your thumb on the same side of the barbells as your fingers, you actually increase the workout you get all through the bicep muscle.
2. Dips
Another classic, dips are a great way to work out the arms while also feeling a nice burn in your core and upper back. It requires you to hold your spine in an upright position, so basically all of your body is getting a workout with this one, even if most of the strain is concentrated in your arms.
Dips are exhausting but, when done correctly, are one of the best arm exercises and one of the best full-body exercises overall. An important health and safety tip for dips is to make sure that your back is always straight and you are leaning a little bit forward over your hands to prevent injury.
3. Triceps Pull (Cable Machine)
The cable machine is extremely useful for arm workouts because it allows you to put your muscles to work without the extra wear-and-tear on the knees and shoulders that can come from more mechanical arm exercises. Adjust the cable machine to an amount of resistance that feels right, but still challenging, to you.
Then, do as many tricep pulls as you can – this exercise will focus right it on that area of the bicep and help to develop the musculature there. An important tip to remember for the triceps pull is that you should never lock your knees and always pull straight towards your sternum. Keeping a relaxed stance helps the tricep pull work only on your arms; anything else, and you end up getting more of a core or back workout, instead.
4. Chin-Ups
Another classic, chin-ups are a great way to maximize definition in your arms. Like some of the other exercises on this list, the key to chin-ups is to keep your back straight and really focus on using your arm muscles to lift up your torso, which should feel like a completely rigid object for the duration of the exercise.
Maintaining that control is what develops the arms so completely and fully from this exercise. A great tip for getting the most out of your chin-ups is to move at a slow, highly controlled pace. It’s easy to use your momentum coming down to swing yourself back up and over the bar, but that really doesn’t give you the best workout. Do it slowly for the ultimate burn!
5. Band Pushdowns
Pull down using a low-resistance band attached to something above you — a bar, a doorframe, etc. Just like using the cable machine to do a tricep pull, this exercise maximizes how much muscle mass you gain with minimal exertion in the joint department.
An important tip to remember when doing band pushdowns is to always scale the resistance of your band to your difficulty level. Remember, the goal isn’t to do what you’re comfortable with, but to push just beyond that. If you’re a veteran bodybuilder, you’re going to want a band with extra resistance, otherwise you simply won’t make huge gains.

Talking Huge With Craig Golias | EP 5: Muscle Worship and Highest Paid Bodybuilders
[embedded content]
Craig Golias talks about the biggest threats growing in the sport, the realities of muscle worship, and who are the highest paid bodybuilders today.
Welcome to another episode of Talking Huge – a weekly digital series in which Craig Golias talks in-depth with Vlad Yudin on the latest trending topics in bodybuilding. Raw, honest, and uncut – Craig Golias shares his opinions on all things bodybuilding. In this episode, Craig Golias talks about the most threatening bodybuilders rising in the ranks, debating the best coaches in bodybuilding, which bodybuilders make the most money today, and muscle worshiping.
Craig Golias is a bodybuilder with no filter – not necessarily to be controversial – but more so because he simply says what’s on his mind right away. That’s why this week’s topics go into some truly funny and shocking directions. He makes his guesses based on rumors for who are the highest paid bodybuilders today. He also gets open and honest about muscle worship in bodybuilding. He’s received many requests to pay him for muscle worship – and knows bodybuilders who have done it. It’s a wild ride of an episode – so let’s jump right in.
The Biggest Threats Rising In Bodybuilding
Vlad Yudin asks Craig Golias who he thinks are the most threatening athletes rising up in bodybuilding today. Straight after his big win at the Puerto Rico Pro – Craig has his eyes on Akim Williams. Craig believes that Akim is one of the few more accomplished bodybuilders who is actually improving – while many other of his ilk are getting worse. Akim also turned heads at the Mr. Olympia 2020 when he rose up to his highest placing of 6th.
Craig Golias also brings up Nick Walker – who has been building hype ever since he earned his pro card in 2020. Walker has been receiving favorable comparisons to the physique of Dorian Yates. He’s able to keep his waist small while also maintaining a massive physique overall. Craig Golias wouldn’t be surprised to see him become one of the most notable pros within this decade.
Who Is Making The Most Money Today?
After discussing a bit about athletes starting their own supplement lines – Vlad asked Craig who he thinks is making the most money in the sport today. Craig Golias can’t know for sure – but he’s heard rumors. Based on those rumors, he would guess that Chris Bumstead is probably the highest paid bodybuilder currently competing. Two Olympia wins certainly help – but he also has a massive, yet classic physique that works wonders for a wider variety of sponsorships.
Craig Golias also mentions another Canadian bodybuilder, Regan Grimes, as a potential athlete who brings in massive cash. Craig also mentions Brian Shaw. Though not a bodybuilder, he’s heard word that Shaw brings in some serious revenue.
Craig Golias: Muscle Worship In Bodybuilding Is Real
In our final topic, Vlad asks Craig Golias about muscle worship in bodybuilding. Muscle worship is a form of fetish where individuals get arosed by massive muscle. It’s been long rumored that bodybuilders can help supplement their funds by committing to muscle worship videos. But is this true?
Craig Golias admits it’s all true. Though he doesn’t know how many bodybuilders do it – he knows people who have. And Craig has received many requests to do muscle worship videos or scenarios. He claims the requests range from PG rated (just looking or touching muscle) to XXX rated with full on muscle-bound sex.
Wrap Up
There are far more topics discussed in this episode than we can cover in this article. You can watch Craig Golias and Vlad Yudin discuss other topics such as the best bodybuilding coaches in the sport, supplement companies, and how to grow a social media following. You can check it all out in the latest episode of Talking Huge above! Make sure to check out Talking Huge every week on Friday – only on the Generation Iron Fitness Network!
Blessing Awodibu Hires New Coach to Take His Gains to the Next Level
It looks like Blessing Awodibu is taking his game to the next level.
After his performances at the Indiana and New York Pro shows, Blessing Awodibu is making a change. Blessing has acknowledged that he has work to do and is putting himself to task. Now, the budding prospect has decided to hire a new coach to help me with his gains and game.
Coach Abdullah Alotaibi has become known for helping some of the best bodybuilders in the world reach their next level. A trainer over at Oxygen Gym in Kuwait, Abdullah played a pivotal role in helping Brandon Curry become the 2019 Mr. Olympia. Now Blessing Awodibu has decided to work with the high level trainer.
Welcome to the Team
In a recent Instagram post coach Abdullah welcomed Blessing Awodibu to the team.
Welcome bro to my team. Guys be ready to see the real next level.
If you’re a fan of Blessing Awodibu this is some great news. In many instances athletes don’t take the time to look at themselves and be honest about their situation. Rather than admit to themselves that they need to make a change they instead choose the easy path: doing what they’ve always done and sticking to it. But there is no such thing as making growth in your comfort zone. It requires putting yourself through discomfort to attain the best results from yourself.
Blessing Awodibu has come to understand that if he wants to challenge for the top spot in bodybuilding he’ll have to make some changes. His size, particularly his legs, are going to have to increase. He’ll have to get his conditioning in top form as well. Blessing has come to understand this and has decided to work with one of the best coaches in the game.
With stablemates like Brandon Curry, Blessing Awodibu won’t lack motivation. It’s the perfect kind of position to put himself in. Champions train with champions and if Blessing wants to attain those lofty goals, he should be training alongside some of the best of the best.
What do you think of Blessing Awodibu hiring Abdullah Alotaibi as his new coach?
