Standing tall at 5 feet 9 inches and possessing a robust physique, Rhea Ripley is one of the most dominating female pro wrestlers in the world. Mami also has the muscles to match her big frame and recently revealed the workings behind the same. Minutes after Ripley’s post, WWE icon Dwayne Johnson left a two-word comment.

At 51, The Rock’s build will give many modern-day bodybuilders a run for their money. He is undoubtedly an inspiration for millions around the world. So, what did Johnson say about Ripley’s workout?

On October 22, The Eradicator of The Judgment Day posted a video where she is seen training her forearms. Among the many exercises that exist, Ripley chose a “little” one to build her biceps.

She tried a 7-7-7 set or 21s as it is also known globally. During the course of the set, the person has to do seven repetitions in the lower range and then follow it with another seven in the upper range. Once the two sevens are done, a full range of motion is performed seven more times, thus making it a 7-7-7 exercise. This is one of the most effective ways to pump the biceps.

Commenting on Ripley’s workout, Johnson posted an NSFW reply: “F**k yeah 💪🏾,” The Great One commented. He, without a doubt, was left impressed with Mami’s “Little 7/7/7 x 4 finisher”. Last year, Ripley detailed her workout plan during an appearance on fellow Superstar Sheamus’s Celtic Warrior Workouts.

The Australian follows a pyramid-style training- the number of repetitions lowers, and the weights increase throughout. This style aids to her impressive physique.

Rhea Ripley’s workout and fitness regimen

Ripley is known for her intense workout regimen. Speaking to GQ magazine, she said that she spends around two and a half to three hours every day lifting weights at the gym and also does 20 minutes of cardio. She also has her unique form of intense cardio workout known as ring conditioning. The purpose of ring conditioning is to be able to last for longer durations of time inside the ring.


Some of her most commonly done exercises are squats, pull-ups, deadlifts, and bench presses. The goal of these exercises is to build stamina and strength.

Meanwhile, Ripley will need to train hard and use all of her strength during the upcoming mega match at Crown Jewel on November 4.

Not just one or two, the 27-year-old will be defending her Women’s World Championship title against four other opponents in a Fatal 5-Way Match in Saudi Arabia during the premium live event (PLE). Hopefully, her training will translate into success there.
