Want To Be Stupid Strong Like Brock Lesnar? Try The ‘Beast Incarnate’s’ Intense Circuit Training Routine

Men’s Journal ranked the eighteen fittest WWE stars. The list is bullshit, if only for the fact that The Rock is number one and he’s not a WWE star anymore. He occasionally moonlights as a wrestler.

The usual suspects are on the list — Rollins, Reigns, Ryback and even Daniel Bryan — but number two on the list is the most interesting because of his insane workout.

Brock Lesnar grew up in a small community in South Dakota without a gym anywhere nearby. But he did have a farm with natural resources, so he got stronger doing things like running down a road carrying a 180-pound log. Now that he has access to a more conventional workout space, he’s changed his routine while maintaining the same functional principles.

According to MJ, and a handy link to Muscle & Strength mag, this is the daily workout for the “Beast Incarnate.”

  • Round One: The focus is on pushing movements, so he starts with spiderman-style push-ups, plyo box push-ups, and tire pushes.
  • Round Two: This round is all about pulling, so moves include reclining pull-ups, wide grip pull-ups, and jumping pull-ups.
  • Round Three: The middle section is a chunk of cardio, so he does very steep incline running on a treadmill and biking.
  • Round Four: Lesnar spends this round focusing on strength training endurance, doing things like single arm sledge hammer work and bear crawls.
  • Round Five: For the last round, Lesnar does intense cardio like sprinting on a bike while standing and running on a steep incline again.

Let me know how this workout feels if you try it. I’ll be here, walking briskly on an incline, just accepting the fact I’d be dead by round two.
