Trainer Jay Ferruggia Denies That CM Punk Is On Steroids, ‘He’s Working His Ass Off’
Jay Ferruggia shuts down a CM Punk rumor.
Punk has been the subject of baseless speculation by select corners of the internet in recent weeks, with some accusing him of steroid use.
In a new Instagram video, Punk’s trainer Jay Ferruggia put a stop to these rumors. Instead, he praised Punk for working his ass off.
“CM Punk is on steroids — or so says the weak minded lazy internet. 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, 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. I have to hold him back. Getting his cardio in, weighing his food. Buying rice cookers, buying scales, being all of 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. 30 years in this business, CM Punk is working as hard as anyone I’ve ever worked with. He’s as dedicated as anyone. You’re gonna sit here and post after past, CM Punk is on steroids, blah blah blah. Meanwhile, half these pictures are AI and the other half are from being the gym with great lighting and a great pump. 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, when you get leaner, you look bigger. 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. Just because someone’s getting somewhere and accomplishing something that you can’t, that doesn’t mean they’re taking shortcuts and cheating. You are just lazy.”
Punk started working with Jay Ferruggia in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 42.
The ‘Best In The World’ is set to appear on the August 14 episode of WWE SmackDown. Check out the current lineup for the show here.
