Long gone are the days of hanging and banging. A modern WWE World Heavyweight Champion trains for different challenges, like taking a dozen German suplexes from Brock Lesnar, intimidating cable TV talk-show hosts and destroying John Cena’s nose with a jumping knee.
Seth Rollins is that modern champion, and according to a rundown of his regular workout routine at Onnit.com, he trains like one. As someone who infrequently goes to the gym I can confidently say that I’d pass out and die about halfway through the “dynamic warmup.”
