Phil Heath has hyped up his upcoming documentary – Breaking Olympia: The Phil Heath Story. The feature film discusses his journey from injury to return to the stage in 2020, with various personal accounts from friends, colleagues, and onstage competitors. He recently posted a glimpse of the movie on Instagram, featuring special guest Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
The clip seems to be from one of his old training sessions. Heath performed some preacher curls alongside Johnson while they laughed and took turns on the bench. Both looked incredibly jacked, with veins popping out of their arms.
The duo also had the founder of GSTQ Dany Garcia and fitness coach Dave Rienzi accompany them on their workout shenanigans. Together, they worked out at The Rock’s Iron Paradise gym back in 2019.
In the caption, Heath mentioned how that arm day with the wrestler-turned-actor proved to be productive. Turns out, he and Johnson got together to discuss the prospects of documenting the bodybuilder’s life after their workout. What began as a fun workout at the gym turned into a significant stepping stone in Heath’s life.
