Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson has held WWE Championships, ruled the Hollywood box office, and even wowed critics with his gritty performance as MMA icon Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine.<\/em><\/a> But what really drives him to hit the gym when it\u2019s early, and cold, and no one would notice him stealing a bit of extra shut eye? The star took to Instagram to share the details.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood morning,\u201d offered \u2018The Great One\u2019 as he made the walk from his house to the famous private gym known as the \u201cIron Paradise.\u201d<\/a> This is the space where Johnson has chiseled his physique for the screen in recent years, but while social media commentators often enter the chat here to suggest it\u2019s easy for multimillionaires to build muscle, because they have the extra time and resources, the reality is usually much different. For example, this particular workout has a start time of around 4.45 a.m., on a cold and dark Saturday morning. \u201cYou ever wake up so early, you\u2019re like, am I f***ng crazy,\u201d joked Johnson, heading into a gutsy cardio session. \u201cAnd you go, \u2018yeah, a little bit.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, extremely late night and ultra early gym sessions are nothing new to The Rock, who has weathered the roads travelling the globe with WWE, and has maintained an incredible physique despite the random hours of movie shoots. During Johnson\u2019s impromptu Instagram live video, he shared an affinity for Waylon Jennings\u2019 song, \u201cI\u2019ve always been crazy.\u201d But most observers would suggest that he\u2019s got things well worked out.<\/p>\n
