Former ROH Pure Champion Daniel Garcia recently opened up about his physique and what he is doing to bulk up.
During an interview with Alicia Atout, Daniel Garcia was asked about his physical appearance and what he is doing to size up. Atout also mentioned that this was a question not asked by her. Although she did not mention who it was, with the hints she gave, it is safe to assume that the person was none other than her boyfriend and former AEW World Champion MJF.
Garcia mentioned that every week he is putting in efforts to get in better shape. He also revealed that he has been training with Cezar Bononi.
“Man, that’s a great question. I feel like if you watch every week, I think you see my efforts to put size on. I’m working with Cezar Bononi now. He’s a great trainer. He’s got me on like a really good meal plan. And he’s got me on a really good workout plan. And I’ve been seeing a lot of really good natural progress in my body over the past few months. It’s something I want to continue to try over the next couple of months.”
“Definitely (proving people wrong is the fire that pushes Daniel Garcia forward). I’m not foolish. I know that I can work on my body. It’s not something that I ignore. I’m not somebody who thinks I have no flaws. There’s a lot of things I could work on. And I think one of the main things is looking more TV-ready with my body. And it’s something that I think about every day. It’s not something that’s lost on me.”
Daniel Garcia always ensures to learn and improve
The former ROH Pure Champion also mentioned that he always has made it a mission to make sure that he will take the criticisms but will work on it them to improve.
“It’s stuff that… People remind me about it in the locker room, online. It’s something that I hear constantly. And I think it’s something that like I said, I’m working on and it’s something that I’m striving to get better with. And I just want to remove all the bullets from people’s chambers. I think that’s the verb I used to use back in the day. If people say, ‘Oh, he can’t cut a promo.’ Well. I’m going to cut a promo so you can’t use that as ammunition against me anymore. ‘Oh, this guy. He can’t do comedy.’
“Okay. well, Imma learn how to do comedy so I can, so you can’t use that against me anymore. ‘This guy is skinny.’ Well, I’m gonna take that away from you now too. Everything is a work in progress. We’re not perfect people. I don’t try to be perfect. I think imperfection is what makes us all beautiful in our own way. And I feel like my dream body, coming soon. We’ll see.
Daniel Garcia claims wrestlers such as Hook and him are the new wave of pro-wrestling body types
“I also feel like, from an aesthetic standpoint I feel like times are different and I feel like… A lot of the times I feel my target audience, the people that I like to impress. I don’t think they like seeing big hulked up beefy people. I think… They wanna… I think they wanna see a lean, still in shape, muscular person. I could throw a fit on.
“Every time I… That’s my one thing, I never wanna get too big. Because I feel like people who are too big, no matter what they wear, they always look crazy. There’s not a jacked person on the planet that is stylish. Jacked people cannot put fits on at all. They have no style, they always look awkward in it. They look like a mannequin. I think people like Hook. People like me. I think that’s the new wave of pro-wrestling body types,” Daniel Garcia said.
