Pain and Gain star Mark Wahlberg took to his Instagram and wrote, “High Roller”. He also tagged several of his associations such as F45 training, Performance Inspired, Municipal, etc. In the clip, he is doing pull-ups inside his gym with nothing but his black shorts. The impact of his bodybuilding passion was clearly evident in his chiseled bare body.

Wahlberg said in the video, “Day 2 of Wahlberg week. Today, High Roller”, whilst continuing to do pull-ups. He continued, “I live in Vegas now, but I don’t gamble. Only thing I bet on is myself and big Mike”. Wahlberg continued his pull-ups constantly during this workout without breaking into a sweat. Soon after, Mike got on the equipment and started doing pull-ups himself.
