As you can see in the pictures above, Adam Rose put on a lot of muscle and transformed his body after leaving WWE in 2016.

Writing in a since-deleted Instagram post in October 2019, the former Social Outcasts member revealed that he was asked to refrain from weight training in WWE NXT so he could lose weight and look completely different to the Leo Kruger character that he played before becoming Adam Rose.

“My weight as Adam was around 201 lbs.. unfortunately as everyone now knows while in the WWE I developed a drug addiction which lead [sic] to me losing considerable weight and getting sick. At my worst I weighed in at 176 lbs in the WWE.. I was living on a smoothie a day and barely ate.. After a long stint in rehab, thanks to the WWE, I was able to clean up and get my life back together.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

At the time of the Instagram post, Rose said he weighed 258 lbs, which means he gained 82 lbs following his departure from WWE.

He added that he weight trains religiously and probably eats too much food, but he is unlikely to stop because he enjoys his new lifestyle.
