I know what you are all going to comment, something like: “Vince likes big sweaty
men.” Well, if that’s the case then this video is dedicated to you Mr McMahon. But
before we get into the list, we would just like to give our honourable mentions to: Finn
Bálor, Jinder Mahal (and his many many veins), Tony Nese, Seth Rollins, Titus O’Neil and
Goldberg (age 50 and he still looks jacked!) Remember this video is about wrestlers’
physiques (the form, size, and development of a person's body) so this does not necessarily
mean the strongest wrestlers. We hope this makes sense, anyway enjoy!
It might be surprising to some that we have included Neville in this list but the King
of the Cruiserweights as he is aptly named has a very good physique especially considering
his height and weight. He is not the biggest of guys with a billed height of 5ft 8 and
not the heaviest of guys with a billed weight of 194lbs but his physique sure tells you
a different story. Neville takes on the usual body building, powerlifting and conditioning
that most WWE superstars do but what he excels at the most is cross conditioning. This means
as well as his high-intensity work outs, he plays a lot of sports including: football
(or soccer), basketball, roller hockey and tennis which all contribute to improving his
endurance. What is even more impressive is how much muscle he has put on since starting
his wrestling career. To keep building his muscles, he says he eats a lot of protein
and also a good amount of fruits and vegetables.
Billed at 6ft 1 and weighing in at 240lbs, Apollo Crews has a fantastic physique, even
comparable to that of an Olympian. He works very hard in the gym as you can probably tell
with his best friend, Akira Tozawa. I’m sure it goes a little something like this
when working out… [insert video of “aahhh”] I also wanted to show you all this clip of
Apollo Crews recording Tozawa about to do a deadlift. It is so funny, just watch! What
is so scary about Apollo Crew’s physique is as well as the super strength he possesses,
he also is very agile and quick for someone of his size. He is certainly not letting his
heavy muscles get in the way of what he can do in the air.
The word “big” in Big E’s name is a severe understatement. He’s got big arms,
big pecs, big quads, big everything! Big E is billed at 5ft 11 and weighs a hefty 285lbs.
As a child, Big E was always the strongest kid in class - an advantage he used to win
state championships in high school wrestling and punish quarterbacks on the defensive line
for the University of Iowa. At the age of 24, Big E was already setting powerlifting
records and setting personal records such as a 575lb bench press and 806 pound deadlifts.
You even have other WWE superstars such as: John Cena, Roman Reigns, Titus O’Neil, Cesaro
and The Big Show all claiming that Big E is the most impressive bench presser. Even Paige
can’t get enough of Big E’s pecs…
When you look at Brock Lesnar you cannot help but think to yourself, what a badass looking
beast. His physique is scary looking in a good way. I mean just look at his pecs, it
looks like each one weighs at least 50lbs, right? Billed at 6ft 3 and weighing in at
286lbs, Brock Lesnar is certainly not a character you want to mess with. You can ask Randy that.
In order to maintain his impressive physique, Lesnar works out every day (taking no rest
days), not the smartest thing to do but I’m not going to tell him that, are you? He completes
this routine every day: round 1 focusing on pushing movements such as: spiderman-style
push-ups, plyo box push-ups, and tire pushes, round 2 focusing on pulling movements such
as: reclining pull-ups, wide grip pull-ups, and jumping pull-ups, round 3 focusing on
cardio such as: very steep incline running on a treadmill and biking, round 4 focusing
on strength training endurance such as: single arm sledge hammer work and bear crawls and
round 5 focusing on intensive cardio such as: sprinting on a bike while standing and
running on a steep incline again. After he completes this monstrous circuit, he then
proceeds to do his strength training. A beast indeed!
Approaching 40 years old this April, John Cena is still in fantastic shape. His physique
reflects the passion and hard work he puts in each and every day to become the strongest
person he can. John Cena works out 5 days a week: day 1 being on his legs and calves,
day 2 being on his chest, day 3 being on his arms, day 4 being on his shoulders and day
5 being on his back. He also performs one set of 60 crunches following each training
day for abs training. He also keeps to a strict diet plan which consists of 7 meals. Meal
1 being breakfast which consists of: oatmeal with applesauce and raisins mixed in, two
whole eggs with six egg whites, meal 2 being a protein bar, meal 3 being lunch which consists
of: two chicken breasts, brown rice and vegetables, meal 4 being whole wheat pita bread with tuna,
meal 5 being a banana whey protein shake, meal 6 being dinner which consists of: chicken
or fish with vegetables, a salad, and pasta or brown rice and finally meal 7 being low
fat cottage cheese with another protein shake but this one made with casein protein.
