Those were the days when Batista, Rock and ‘Big Show’ ruled the WWE ring. It has been a while and despite being out of the WWE competition for a while, this global star has now become stronger than he was ever before. He stunned the social media bu sharing his latest pictures on the verified Instagram handle.

Peculiarly, his recent post in which the “Show” is seen taking a selfie is amazing. The result of his most recent trip to the gym, nearly three weeks after having hip surgery is what we cannot miss.

He even explained how he lost over 70 pounds over a period of six to seven months. He credits his transformation to his trainer, Dodd Romero. When asked why he decided to lose so much weight, Show recalls a fateful conversation with fellow Superstar John Cena: “We were talking about getting in shape and I said, ‘Ah, what the hell is a giant gonna do with abs?’ and John looked at me with a straight face and said, ‘Yeah. A giant with abs. That wouldn’t be marketable at all.’ And he walked off. It was kind of a shot, but [later] John reached out and congratulated me on the work I’ve done. That meant a lot. ”

Now, as for his current workout routine, Show is focused on high-reps: “Everything from 50 reps, 35 reps, 21 reps. I’m not trying to build muscle right now, I’m trying to keep my metabolism up, keep my tendons strong, keep my joints good and cut a lot of fat.”

Well, gaining weight easy, but the shedding is otherwise. The Superstar admits that losing weight takes dedication and time and that he’s had to say goodbye to some of his favorite foods like pizza and meatball subs. At the end of the day, Show hopes that his transformation will inspire others: “There is nothing more powerful in the world than the human spirit and the human will. It’s taken us to the moon, for God’s sake. So there is nothing that anyone can stop you from doing if you really want. I hope this interview helps some people. That’s all you can do, right?”

Coming to the WWE front, Show admits that his much-hyped match with Shaq may not happen, he’s still looking forward to showing off his new bod at Wrestlemania 33 next month which is going to be absolutely big.
