Throughout the Rock’ing for 30 Day Challenge, The Rock has responded several times on Twitter.
First, about half-way through the month, I did a reddit post about what I was doing. AskMen wrote an article about the reddit post, and DJ responded:
Uh oh. This kinda only works if you train 2xs a day, work 14hrs on set and are half Samoan/half Black. And cuss. 😂💯 https://t.co/eZ1kySsoub

So there was some doubt from the big man. But I persevered, and finished the challenge. Bleacher Report wrote about my accomplishment, which The Rock then saw:
Impressed by this discipline. Harder than one would think. #BringOnTheCheatMeals https://t.co/QLg5Q17OYv

I didn’t want to stop mid-week, so I ended up doing the challenge for 33 days. ESPN’s FiveThirtyEight shared some of the data behind this month, including the amount it cost.
It ain’t cheap or easy to do. But the results are 💯. And I still hate cod. https://t.co/FmC79ZWGcW

ESPN shared the FiveThirtyEight piece. In that article, I explained my motivation for doing this challenge in the first place. The Rock appreciated the effort.
Tip my hat to this guy. “Didn’t do this to look like The Rock, but wanted to see if I could work as hard as him” ✔️ https://t.co/qH6UX28V5R

Overall, it’s been great to have The Rock respond. He has a reputation for paying attention to his fans, and from the looks of it, it’s well-deserved.
