      Wrestling is honestly the form of sport-related pursuit that requires the most all-round training, because you need performance, injury management, strength, mobility, cardio, and, unlike other sports, you need to care about what your body visually looks like, too. And a guy like Cena has been able to bring all of these traits to an elite level. Insanely impressive, drugs or no drugs.

And for a lot of guys, that does correlate with being lean and muscular.

    There are two camps regarding the use of belts and sleeves. As you are in favor of them, what is your reasoning?

    Im not surprised all his forms are damn near perfect. Theres a great interview with Cena where he explains he actually "hates" working out. He wants to get in and get out as fast as possible. And his routine is something like 30 minutes of stretching and flexibility work, then 30 minutes of just the most hard core clanging and banging lifting. He wants it as efficient and as maximum results as humanly possible.
    The Big Show, Paul Wight, was asked who was the strongest people hes wrestled and one of them was Cena. He said that at 400lbs+ Cena could lift him up and felt like he could stay up there all day. Just order a pizza until Cena decided to put him down and never felt a single concern of John struggling or dropping him.
