Over the last fifteen years, the American wrestler has amassed a host of titles along with starring in a multitude of movies. Intense training sessions fuelled by passion and commitment fueled his momentous rise in WWE. Moreover, an excellent diet program that focuses on a high-protein diet helps his cause of building the muscle mass.

Moreover, the routine involves performing cardio exercises and abdomen exercises to activate the core and improve the overall endurance of the body.
Note: You could perform the same workout by tweaking the set and rep count to better suit your fitness needs. Traditionally, 15 reps constitute a single rep.
#1 Chest Workout
Video: Incline Barbell Press
These workouts focus on improving the pectoral muscles found in the chest with the help of the cable machine and free weights.
Incline Barbell Press - 5 sets
The inclination of the bench allows for better targeting of the upper pectoral muscles. In addition, the incline barbell press tones the deltoids and the triceps.
Incline Machine Press - 5 sets
This exercise targets the same muscles as the incline barbell press. However, due to its controlled motion, it is much easier on the other stabilisation muscles.
Machine Fly - 3 sets
The controlled motion of the machine fly activates the major and the minor pectoral muscles with a greater degree of accuracy.
Cable Fly - 3 sets
The major pectoral muscle is the primary muscle group targeted by the cable fly. This exercise could be performed by beginners and casual trainers, thanks to its simple motion.
Bench Press - 3 sets
Often considered as the staple exercise to build the chest muscles, the bench press also activates the triceps and the deltoids muscles.
