As WWE.com report, Mann is new to the Performance Center but is in a very competitive environment with his fellow athletes in Orlando, Florida.
Yesterday WWE PC Strength & Conditioning Coach Sean Hayes led the various trainees through a Hercules-inspired upper-body workout which involved a lot of weight lifting and heavy chains.
You can see the grueling reigmen here:

Mann can be seen in the video above towards the ending. He is performing multiple chin-ups, weighed down by the chains wrapped around his neck.
On Twitter after the video above was released, Mann quoted the video and joked with Ford and Dawkins of The Street Profits- saying he needed to show them how it’s done.

Ford would respond to this, claiming he was only training light that day.

It is unknown if this is a way of leading into Mann’s first feud within the company or if it is just playful banter between the two.
