Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with this dude, Riddick Moss. I’d seen him on WWE a few times, and the guy’s a total beast. I figured it would be cool to see if I could build a workout routine that gets me jacked like him. So I started digging around to see what his deal was.
First thing I did was try to find some interviews or articles where he talked about his training. Found a few, nothing too specific, but enough to get a general idea. He’s big on the basics – you know, heavy lifting, compound movements, that kind of stuff. Makes sense, the dude’s built like a brick house.
Then I went on a mission to find some of his actual workouts. No luck there. Seems like he keeps his exact routine under wraps. But I did stumble upon some videos of him training. Watched those a few times, pausing, rewinding, trying to figure out what he was doing, how much weight he was using, and his form.
After that, I tried to put together a workout that I thought might be similar to his. I focused on those big movements – squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press. I threw in some rows and pull-ups too, gotta work that back. And of course, I made sure to push myself on the weight, just like I saw him doing in the videos. That was a new experince for me.
I decided to test out this “Riddick Moss” routine for a week. Let me tell you, it was brutal. I was sore in places I didn’t even know I had muscles. But hey, no pain, no gain, right? I felt super accomplished after each workout, though, like I really earned it.
- Day 1: Legs and Shoulders – Heavy squats, leg press, some shoulder presses, lateral raises.
- Day 2: Chest and Triceps – Bench press, incline press, close-grip bench, some triceps extensions.
- Day 3: Back and Biceps – Deadlifts, rows, pull-ups, bicep curls. I like it.
- Day 4: Rest. Much needed.
- Day 5: Repeat Day 1, but trying to increase the weight a bit.
- Day 6: Repeat Day 2.
- Day 7: Repeat Day 3.
Here’s a basic idea of what I did:
By the end of the week, I was definitely feeling it. I was stronger, that’s for sure. And I could see how sticking to a routine like this could get you seriously built. I’m not saying I’m going to be the next Riddick Moss or anything, but this little experiment definitely gave me a new appreciation for what these guys put their bodies through. It’s tough, man, but rewarding. Now I’m continuing the work!
So, yeah, that was my week trying to train like Riddick Moss. It was a cool experience, and I learned a lot about pushing my limits in the gym. Might not be for everyone, but if you’re looking for a challenge, give it a shot. Just be ready to work your butt off.
