Rusev Taking a Break From the Gym

Machka that gym. Rusev is one of the better power wrestlers around WWE today as he’s not only strong but also rather agile. There are very few wrestlers who can show off that kind of strength and still move around like Rusev can do. That kind of power makes a certain announcement a bit surprising.

In Bulgaria they say The rest makes the champion. It's time to take time off working out. 30 days and counting.

In a recent Tweet, Rusev is saying that he’s taking thirty days off from the gym, starting immediately. There’s no mention of an injury but based on Rusev’s statement, he’s simply taking the time off for the sake of resting his body. There’s no word on if he’ll be missing any time but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Opinion: It’s not like Rusev doesn’t have some strength to burn. I’m not exactly the fitness genius but I’d assume that taking some time off is a way to help heal the muscles and allow Rusev to get a bit healthier. I’m sure he’ll be fine and it’s not like an injury is keeping him from being in the gym or the ring.
