CM Punk’s trainer addresses accusations of Punk taking steroids during his current WWE run

CM Punk is working his ass off from day one when he reached out to me. He has done every single thing that I’ve asked him to do. He’s on vacation in Hawaii, checking in with me every single day, sending me pictures, sending me his meals, sending me his macros, his weight, his temperature after meals, sending me videos from the gym, taking naps, getting enough sleep, getting morning sunshine, taking the supplements I tell him to take, never missing a workout, doing more than I ask him to do. I have to hold him back.

He’s getting his cardio in, weighing his food, buying rice cookers, buying scales, bringing all that with him on the road, eliminating all the shit from his diet, training harder than ever, smarter than ever, better than ever, dialed in at a level that most people could never comprehend.

In 30 years in this business, CM Punk is working as hard as anyone I’ve ever worked with. He’s as dedicated as anyone. And you’re going to sit here and post after post, ‘CM Punk is on steroids,’ blah, blah.

Meanwhile, half these pictures are AI, and the other half are from being in the gym with great lighting, with a great pump.

Now, how is he making progress like that? Again, he’s doing every goddamn thing I told him to do. He’s working his ass off. He’s gotten significantly leaner. So when you get leaner, you look bigger, and he’s training in a different way.

Honestly, he’s making almost newbie gains. It’s surprising me, but I know what’s going on. I know all the things he’s doing. I’m with him. I spend time with him. I talk to him every single day.

So just because someone’s getting somewhere and accomplishing something that you can’t doesn’t mean they are taking shortcuts and cheating. You are just lazy.”
