The Rock Gets It.

Good morning FORBES fans!! Today we're doing something special. I'm taking you on a #ChaseYourGreatness journey. I'll bring you along for the ride throughout my day and share insights I've learned in building my career and @SevenBucksProd, in the hopes that these tenants help you tackle your own goals. But first, you must choose to wake up and dominate your day. Let’s start with #ThePowerofChoice. - @TheRock #ForbesTakeover

#PowerOfVision 5 years ago I wanted to connect with fans globally in a more powerful and authentic way that was beyond traditional media - radio and TV. Thats exactly what we've done through that vision and social media. Keep your vision as clear as possible as you forge ahead and remember we never want to just play in the game... we want to change the way the game is played. - @TheRock #ChaseYourGreatness #ForbesTakeover

#PowerOfTeamwork There is no greatness achieved alone. Ever. Surround yourself with brilliant and hungry individuals who are willing to work just as hard as you to execute your vision. In order for @sevenbucksprod to be successful, @danygarciaco and myself had to have the right TEAM around us. Hungry and smart. - @TheRock #WME #ForbesTakeover #ChaseYourGreatness

#PowerOfOurGut. I'm always asked "Who's my most trusted advisor?" My answer - My gut. Regardless of what we do for a living, we deal with tons of "noise" every single day. The key is to do our best to block out the noise and listen to our gut when it says, "You can do better." Not always the easiest thing to do when the "noise" is constant, but it always leads to some kind of success. Always. - @TheRock #ChaseYourGreatness #ForbesTakeover

This is not how any of us want to see the day end. My heart breaks to hear of another attack where our loved ones around the world are taken from us in this cowardly way. All of our hard work means nothing if we can't leave this world a better place than we found it. Be kind to one another. Our hearts, faith and strength are with you, Nice. - @TheRock

Increasing Volume of Supplemental and Assistance Work - JimWendler.com: "The problem with the increase in assistance work is that everyone wants to have their cake and eat it  too. It doesn’t work like that – you can’t be strong like a powerlifter, fast as sprinter, and as big as a linebacker. Well, you can, but these people are so rare that teams pay them millions of dollars and television stations have billion dollar contracts to broadcast them to you. They’re called  professional football players, and if you’re one of them, you aren’t reading this, as you’re too busy counting your  money and cracking skulls. Too many people believe their mommy’s and think they are the outliers. Chances are you are average as fuck.  Work hard and smart."

Amazing 60 Year Old Training - RossTraining.com: "“The only way you can live your life to the fullest is to be as healthy as you can be… That’s why I train.”"

Fitstagram Volume 31: #Transformation #Tuesday:

LIFT-RUN-BANG: Beginner lessons - Early mistakes to avoid: "Newflash.  If you want to be jacked like Dwayne Johnson, be prepared to put in a couple of decades of hard work, take some anabolics, and go through phases where you were chubby, then lean, then chubby, then lean again.  None of this happens in a few months, or even a few years.  And no routine is going to make you "look like someone".  Last time I checked, your dad banged your mom and created you."

Training.

7/31 - shadowbox  7/30 - deadlifts, press, chins, dips  7/29 - treadmill

Timeline Photos - Bill Phillips Transformation: "Kira grew up as an overweight child and had an unhealthy relationship with food for most of her life. She finally decided that enough was enough when the scale read 215 lbs. Kira made the decision to attend Bill and Maria Phillips’ 3-day Fitness Camp in Colorado and implemented the knowledge and tools that she learned over the weekend at home. She has never looked back. Kira lost over 80 lbs. and has kept it off for 2 years! She now uses her experience with the process to mentor and coach others to set and reach their health and fitness goals. Kira says once she realized she had the power and ability to change, nothing could stop her!"

therock on Instagram:  "Here's a lil' fact that explains my fun DNA.. When I was 10yrs old, my dad would take me to the gym with him on the weekends. Kick my ass and "stretch" the hell outta me on the wrestling mats. Then he'd kick my ass some more on the weights. He'd always say, "If you throw up, go outside. And if you cry, then go home to your mother." Yup, that's my upbringing which taught me there will never be another substitute for hard work. And crying in the gym is not allowed. Even if you're 10yrs old.. with a big ass afro."

Dwayne The Rock Johnson added a new photo. - Dwayne The Rock Johnson: "Always asked from my buddies, "Why do you continue to push yourself so hard when you don't have to these days? You're not broke.." My answer's always the same.. "Exactly. That's why.". It's funny cause only my buds who came up thru hard times and broke as f*ck understand that answer. The other ones just look at me like I have three heads. Many of y'all out there know what I'm talkin' bout. It ain't ever about money.. it's about never forgetting what it's like to have none. "

 MotiveWeight:

7/24 - treadmill, pushups, chins, knee raise

7/23 - chins, inc db press, leg xt, pushups, stiff arm pulldown, calf press, sswings, db curls, tri pushdowns, air squats, situps

Dwayne The Rock Johnson: "Learned a valuable lesson a long time ago that it's much easier to push yourself when a crowd is watching or a coach is telling you what to do. The extremely hard part is pushing yourself beyond limits when no one else is around and you're alone. But if you can master that.. that's when you break thru into another level of progress and success."

FGOY: "Julie Foucher is a medical student (Class of 2017) as well as a four-time CrossFit Games athlete. Inspiration to us all.  “I believe my role as a future physician will not simply be to facilitate the cure of disease, but to maximize the fitness of my patients over the years of their lives.”"

Relax everybody, I found Waldo.  And she's got abs.

"Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.""

That might just work.  If anybody can pull it off, it's the Rock.  Dwayne Johnson in Talks to Produce and Star in 'Big Trouble in Little China' Remake - Spinoff Online:  "Johnson would star as Jack Burton, the role originated by Kurt Russell in the John Carpenter-directed original. Like in the 1986 film, Burton is a truck driver caught in an ancient battle, set in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Johnson and his production company, 7 Bucks Entertainment, pitched the remake to Fox; the original is said to be one of Johnson’s favorite movies."

"What does that mean? Huh? "China is here." I don’t even know what the hell that means."
