Widely recognized as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, fans forget that John Cena initially had his roots in the bodybuilding industry. In fact, Cena was so much into the industry that he completed his graduation with a degree in exercise physiology and body movement.
Cena went ahead to step into the bodybuilding industry and started working out in the Gold’s Gym. In order to make both ends meet, he started working in the gym. However, his first ad for the gym gave him recognition and he stepped into the world of pro wrestling. During his short-lived bodybuilding career, John Cena built his personality for all his future endeavors.
The 16-time WWE Champ has a bench press personal record of 487 pounds (221 kg). It’s been eight long years since the Leader of Cenation revealed his Bench Press PR for the fans. Arnold Schwarzenegger had been widely recognized by the fans and Cena destroyed his best with ease. He, however, attained the record back.
