You know that guy who’s always exaggerating his squat numbers? John Cena is not that guy.
The wrestling superstar tweeted a video yesterday of a pause squat. He had a little less than 400 pounds on the bar, but made this pause squat look easy — no spotter needed.
We’ve come to expect these sorts of feats from Cena, who easily banged out a set of 5 deep squats with no pause at 495 pounds for our April 2014 cover shoot. So when exaggerated claims surfaced about the WWE star’s bar weight, they gained traction. Cena put a quick end to the 600-pound elephant in the room — giving us yet another reason to give him some much-deserved respect.
What’s a couple hundred pounds between friends? We’re not sweating the weight, the point is clear — work toward your goals and be proud of your accomplishments. Here’s the original video.
The speed of life gives us chances to make excuses. Define goals, take a pause, and realize you can move mountains. pic.twitter.com/2ZTMm8Msiz
