WWE stars workout, diet and fitness techniques
Being a pro wrestler is a tough profession, but maintaining a picture perfect body throughout the year while going through extensive touring and dealing with injuries on the side, certainly makes a WWE Superstar’s life difficult.
In modern times, maintaining a godly physique has become even more strenuous than it was in the past, owing to the applicability of Wellness Policy, which bans athletes from using illicit substances to enhance their physiques.
Back in the day, when there were no regulations, Superstars used high dosages of steroids, which helped them to maintain their unearthly physiques, without hampering their general lifestyles.
Superstars now have their diets monitored by a group of skilled professionals, which is contradictory to the eating habits followed the pro wrestlers of the bygone era. Today, pro wrestlers follow an array of training techniques, along with strict diet plans, which even the fans can follow (or at least try to!).
Their workouts vary from yoga dominated regimes like DDP Yoga by Diamond Dallas Page and Stratusphere Yoga by Trish Stratus, to workouts tailored for gaining muscle mass, such as the ones followed by The Rock, John Cena or even Triple H.
CrossFit has also become a recent hit with the Superstars.

Brock Lesnar’s Diet
Prior to diverticulitis, Brock’s diet was protein dominant. The Beast being a huge fan of hunting believed in eating what he killed. But when diverticulitis struck him, Lesnar had to make major alterations in his eating habits. He needed more fibre in his diet and thereby started eating a lot of green vegetables.
While the disease took a major toll on his health, Lesnar did not lose much size which was the result of maintaining a proper diet.
His on-screen advocate and off-screen friend Paul Heyman told an interesting story about the beast, to find out more about it, take a look at the link below!
