    With no gym or workout facility for miles, he used the land and the equipment from the farm to sculpt and shape his body. It wasn't uncommon to see Lesnar running full tilt down the road with a 180 pound tree log thrown over his shoulders just for fun.

    Lesnar had unbelievable strength and excelled in wrestling and became a 2000 NCAA Heavyweight Champion. Soon after, he started an extremely successful career in the WWE. Despite fame and fortune, his early farm years and core values always remained at the forefront.

    He sensed that the professional wrestling lifestyle wasn't for him long term and he chose to move on. His all or nothing mentality had built upon an innate quality that is the foundation of a man determined to work hard, stay true to his values and make an impact on the MMA scene.

    Rising to the top of the wrestling world and with the potential to emerge as a top heavyweight contender in the UFC, Lesnar realizes the importance of exercise, diet and supplementation. Through quality products, Lesnar is able to maintain his size, strength and endurance in the gym and in the cage.

    To increase his strength, build muscle and improve his overall performance, it is important to incorporate an advanced creatine formula and superior whey protein supplement. Lesnar consumes a high amount of calories on a daily basis although he usually doesn't strictly measure the amount.

    He'll eat a large amount of protein and add in supplements when time doesn't allow him to eat a full meal. Immediately after a training session it is a good practice to get in 30g of a high quality protein as well as a good source of carbs to replenish the glycogen levels depleted from the intense training. Through the day, Lesnar will consume a minimum of a gallon of water with added electrolytes.
