John Cena does a 500lb deadlift as he blows off steam at gym on 41st birthday after Nikki Bella split
Newly single John Cena opted for the gym rather than the bar on his birthday this week.
The actor - who just split from fiancee Nikki Bella - went for a workout on Monday and shared a clip of himself doing some 500lb deadlifts.
The Blockers star, who just turned 41, posted the workout to Twitter with the caption: '41 years old. 500lbs x3 “clean grip” deadlift. #EarnTheDay #NeverGiveUp #RAW,'

A second clip of the star's workout was captioned 'NEVER let age define effort.'
The Trainwreck actor is apparently documenting his recent breakup with Nikki, 34, on the forthcoming series of E!'s Total Bellas.
'I have to give a lot of credit to John and Nicole. They really opened up their lives and they really wanted to close the curtain and be like this is it, we’re done,' Nikki’s sister, Brie Bella, recently told People.
'My sister is really great with her fans in a way where she lets them connect with her. She lets them like go, "My life isn’t perfect and isn’t easy" and lets them see the playbook of her life.

'John and Nicole allow the fans to see some very personal conversations, that to be honest, I was mind blown about. [Husband] Bryan and I both said, "I don’t think we’d allow them to see those conversations" but they do. I give them a lot of credit. You get to see where they’re at today and see that unravel,' Brie added.
John and Nikki announced their decision to split after six years together earlier this month just weeks away from their wedding date which was set for May 5.
'While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another,' the former couple said in a joint statement.
Giving it some muscle: John captioned a second clip 'NEVER let age define effort.'
'We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.'
It's claimed that the couple split because John decided he never wanted to have children with the brunette beauty.
'John acted more and more like he was doing her a favor by somehow conceding to go ahead and marry her,' an insider told People.
'[Nikki] doesn’t need a pity proposal, a pity wedding, a pity husband. She’s a phenomenal, tremendous woman.'
