TIL The Rock travels with private gym of over 40,000 lbs. of equipment that over 100 crew members assemble at each film location

The study where they measured speed-strength in random dudes off the street? No, I didn't miss it I just didn't think it deserved comment because the rock is not some random dude looking to get in a little better shape. If you really want to dive into it here's a quote from your study:

It is conceivable that a strength training exercise that is optimal for gains in muscle hypertrophy may not be ideal for the development of speed-strength.

So there you go. The fucking study literally says "but this isnt necessarily true if your goal is just to get buff. It's only more effective for this one specific training goal we measured."

Please call your internet provider and ask them to turn it off for a month while you think about how BF retarded this string of comments you made is.
