Staying in-shape year round not only bodes well for an athlete’s success on the field, but also off it. When it comes to the silver screen, these men and women need to be shredded too. From UFC champions, to the gridiron and the basketball court; here are the 10 most overpowering, all-round bad-ass spokespersons present day.

Dustin Snipes
Brock Lesnar
If one could bottle up the formula that carried the former Minnesota Golden Gopher wrestler to stardom in the WWE and UFC – not to mention a brief stint in the NFL – that person would be very rich. Lesnar is a mammoth of a man at 6’3”, weighing roughly 300 pounds, and is an overwhelming force in contact sports. Since 2010, the South Dakota native has sported the Jimmy John’s logo on his fight trunks and wrestling gear. Check out how “The Beast Incarnate” readies his body for war, which includes dominating dead lifts, in this breakdown of his daily workout!

J.J. Watt
The Houston Texans defensive lineman has totaled 57 sacks in his first four NFL seasons, turning normally heroic quarterbacks into scared sissies. It has to come from somewhere right? Watt played sports all throughout his life, including hockey, baseball, basketball, and track and field. Take a look at this grueling workout that the one-time Verizon spokesperson employed prior to the start of his rookie year.

Jon Jones
It’s not often that you come across an athlete like Jon Jones. He’s a 6’4” phenomenon, with skyscrapers for legs and also possesses the reflexes of a cheetah. There’s nothing that Jones can’t do to you while in the cage. The longtime UFC light heavyweight champion and newly-minted Reebok athlete has a killer swimming workout.

Mike Trout
Trout is built like an NFL linebacker at 6’2”, 230 pounds. The Los Angeles Angels centerfielder and reigning AL MVP does it all on the field and in the weight room. For a look inside the current Subway spokesperson’s off-season workout, which includes Olympic-style lifts, click here. Opposing pitchers beware.

Terry Crews
The former football player and current Hollywood star can usually be seen with his shirt off in most movies. At age 46, the one-time Old Spice staple is in better shape than some people half his age, and he doesn’t plan on slowing down. He’s got an awesome full-body workout. Try it, if you dare.

Ronda Rousey
In addition to kicking ass in the Octagon, and on the big screen, “Rowdy” Ronda is also a talent on the silver screen. The 28-year-old former Olympic judoka has taken over television thanks to her hilarious MetroPCS ad. As she continues her dominant and destructive run as the UFC’s women’s bantamweight champion – she’s currently 11-0 in her pro career – the sponsorships will undoubtedly continue to pour in. Want to train like Ronda? Have a look here.

Rafael Nadal
The Olympic gold medalist in tennis is one of the most well-conditioned athletes in all of professional sports. Nadal is only 28 years old, but he’s already amassed 14 Grand Slam singles titles. The longtime Nike-sponsored world champ was one-half of this ridiculous 2012 TV spot featuring soccer great, Cristiano Ronaldo. Wondering how Nadal keeps his body chiseled to perfection? Have a look-see here!

Cristiano Ronaldo
He’s professional sports’ “it” guy and a total bad-ass. Ronaldo formerly had the lady, has the looks, and the skill that makes him arguably the best soccer player on the planet. The 30-year-old Nike and Armani Jeans spokesperson star also keeps himself in tip-top shape. Find out what makes him one bad-ass mofo.

LeBron James
This list obviously wouldn’t be complete without No. 23, and by that token I’m speaking of Cleveland Cavaliers forward, LeBron James. The 6’8”, 250 pound physical specimen is commandeering on the hardwood, and a larger than life Beats by Dre headphones endorser off of it. King James took a break from dunking on fools last year to star in a powerful commercial showcasing the Powerbeats2. Workout like the king — you may soon be flexing on the court just like the man himself.

Blake Griffin
What more can be said about the five-time NBA All-Star? He’s funny, athletic, and built like a truck. Tall and lean at 6’10”, 250 pounds, Griffin is an ideal NBA forward. When he’s not posterizing would-be shotblockers, the 26-year-old is starring in these comedic Kia sketches, including this spot as the almighty Griffin Force leader! And if you have some time, try your hand at these pool “lung busters.”
