It Was Only a Matter of Time Until Shirtless Zac Efron and The Rock Had a Sick Pull-Up Contest
Bro. Bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro! You know what's sick? Yeah, that new Jason Derulo is an absolute banger. But that's not where I was going with this. I was gonna say: When two dudes as, [whispers] you know, different as Zac Efron and The Rock can put aside all the bullshit and knock out some pups (pull-ups) in the sun. I mean, try NOT to stare at this photo from the set of the new Baywatch and not feel the urge to crush some reps.

But it's weird, right? Like, what's up with Zac's bod? Why does it look like a topographical map of the San Andreas after a brushfire scorched through a pube forest? I thought The Rock was the one playing Hoff? And, like, why is The Rock wearing a shirt for the first time in recorded history? It's chill, but it doesn't feel...right.
Wait, what? You didn't even know there was gonna be a new Baywatch movie? MY MAN. Broseph. You're missing out! If this photo is any indication, it looks like it's gonna be campy, but also maybe funny if you're stoned, in a winking, self-referential way that understands the Hollywood nostalgia complex is an easy way to milk old franchises for profit. Yeah, word. Boobs.
Ed. Note: An earlier version of this article misstated the type of exercise being performed. These are clearly pull-ups, not chin-ups. We regret hiring this weak nerd.
