Since I did the Rock’ing for 30 Days Challenge, I’ve been working on launching a (non-related) business and haven’t really been blogging. However, for these last 6 months, I’ve been following a similar training program that is fairly close to what The Rock normally does. (The 30-Day Challenge was his Hercules workout, which is more intense than usual.)
The Rock eating a sandwich like a normal person.
For this new approach, the workouts are similar but only 5x a week and with 1/2 the cardio. The diet has dropped from 7 to 5 meals. I’ve been eating a lot less cod, and replaced it with chicken breast.
Overall, I’ve been living a more balanced, normal life. I tend to have some cheat meals on the weekends, and occasionally drink. (Oh beer, why are you so delicious in the summer?)
I continue to get emails with questions about the Challenge, what I’ve been doing since, and what substitutions could be made. I have replied to every email I’ve received (and will continue to!), but as I’m often sharing the same information over and over, I decided to share it here.
Below are the details of what the eating and training has looked like since the Challenge ended. As always, feel free to send me any thoughts or questions. Or better yet, let’s chat on Twitter.
