​The Rock News & Notes – A New Motivational Post, Under Armour Update & More

The Rock posted the following photo noting that the first item through his Under Armour deal – custom gym bags – have already sold out.

Cool news. You’ve made the official launch of #ProjectRock a HUGE success. 100% SOLD OUT. Bags are now an instant collectors item. I’m a bag fanatic and wanted to design the “Greatest bag of all time” or #GBOAT. A bad ass bag for the gym, work, school etc. Water resistant, abrasion resistant and pockets on top of pockets baby! Think of #ProjectRock as a one of a kind house. The “People’s House”. And in this house we will provide all the tools you need to chase and achieve greatness. And always have some fun along the way. The first tools were the #GBOAT’s. Coming soon will be THE training shoe of all training shoes. Training gear, lifestyle gear and some very cool technology. It all comes in time and you have my word it’ll be worth the wait. The next tool #ProjectRock will provide for you to chase your greatness is a lil’ something to… wake your ass up.;) Stay tuned and THANK YOU for joining me our #ProjectRock journey. We’re just getting started and congratulations if you’re now a proud owner of the 100% SOLD OUT #GBOAT. Kinda like finding Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket. #ProjectRock #ThePeoplesHouse #ChaseYourGreatness

The Rock also posted the following motivational story on Instagram:

Funny how things come back full circle. When I was 14 me and family were evicted from our 1 bedroom efficiency and forced to leave the state of Hawaii. At that time I made a promise to myself to do everything I could to work extremely hard to make sure we never see another eviction notice again. The only action I could take as a 14yr old punk kid was go straight to the YMCA and hit the iron. At that time all my heroes were big strong dudes who were successful – Eastwood, Arnold, NFL players and Pro Wrestling icons. That’s why it was so cool for me to go back to the YMCA this past week, train like an animal and remember where it all started for me. Funny thing I realized as I was training that I still wake up every morning at 4am to train with the mindset that “the wolf is always scratchin’ at my door” and that f*cker is delivering another eviction notice. One day I’ll get the proper psychiatric therapy I need ;), but until then let’s always be hungry, humble and always be the hardest workers in the room. #WolfIsAlwaysScratchin #ButNotAt4am
