Do you smell what The Rock is cookin\u2019!? Well, Marky Mark sure does<\/strong>. Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson go back to their roots to prepare for their recently released film, Pain & Gain<\/em>, where the two play drug-abusing bodybuilders.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I signed on for doing the movie, I was committed to getting as big as possible. That just meant going back to doing what I used to when I was really young, lifting as heavy as possible and eating 10-12 meals a day.\u201d \u2013 Mark Wahlberg tells bodybuilding.com<\/p>\n

This action comedy is based on a true story about a group of bodybuilders known as the \u201cSun Gym Gang\u201d who, in the pursuit of the American Dream, commit to murdering, kidnapping, or torturing anyone who stands in their way.<\/p>\n

Attention all men:<\/strong> this perhaps is not the GREATEST movie choice for a first date…<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a movie like this, that revolves around the world of bodybuilding and the culture of bodybuilding\u2014that we love, by the way, and that we<\/p>\n

grew up on\u2014the prep was a good 8-10 weeks, six workouts per week, training twice per day. I did my cardio in the morning.\u201d \u2013 The Rock
\nWahlberg told E! News, \u201cI was eating 10 meals a day and drinking mass gainers…It was a lot of work. A lot of getting up at 2:00 in the morning to eat another meal and I was still full from the meal at 10 o’clock.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, how did Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg prepare for the role of two bad-ass bodybuilders? Let’s take a look shall we\u2026.<\/p>\n
