All Rise...

Judge David Johnson got ripped. Interpret that as you see fit.

The Charge

100 minutes of exercises to get you totally ripped.

The Case

Wrestling superstar/WWE executive Triple H joins his real-life wife to kickstart WWE's burgeoning fitness endeavors with this selection of workouts designed to not merely induce weight-loss but transform you, pasty lard-ass, into a muscle-bound destroyer of men.

Here is what awaits and it looks fantastically painful:

• Warmup (6 min)
"Power up and prepare" with jumping jacks, seal jacks and stretches.

• Upper Body 1 (16 min)
Dumbbell rows and Zot curls (those are real things) rule the day as your stomach begins to churn.

• Upper body 2 (18 min)
It's full-on vomit time with a focus on muscle endurance via planks, shoulder shockers, and other exercises designed to build biceps.

• Lower Body (30 min)
It's leg day: deadlifts and presses to promote balance and strength.

• Muscle-building cardio (12 min)
Four rounds of hard-core, progressive reps designed to build strength.

• Mobility (14 min)
Cooldown! Flexibility-improving stretches.

That's 96 minutes of macho workouts, presented by Triple H who comes across as a solid if occasionally clunky presenter. The high point of his work is easily the intro where he gets personal about his physical struggles after 20 years wrestling and how the workouts he presents helped restore "function" to his life. This might be the best differentiator versus other DVDs: the routines here aren't just to turn you into the Incredible Hulk, but create a foundation of smaller muscles to build upon, the end result being a health-centric workout more than anything.

WWE Power Series: Triple H is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen and 2.0 stereo with a music-only option track and a custom workout arrangement.

The Verdict

Not Guilty. Pass the puke bucket.
