Finding the motivation to work out regularly can be difficult. If you are thinking about your next meal while performing a bench press, you are not alone. And it appears that it is this very category of food lovers that has inspired pastry chef Amaury Guichon to come up with his latest creation. The chef, who is known for his life-like chocolate sculptures captured the hearts of hundreds of reluctant gym-goers and foodies when revealed his latest creation -- a chocolate dumbbell. Sharing a video of the work that went into creating the special dish, Amaury wrote, "Cheat day and workout now all combined in one experience, no wonder my workout routine isn't efficient!"
The cake was made as a gift to actor Dwayne Johnson for this 49th birthday. Addressing Dwayne by his popular moniker 'The Rock', the chef said, "Happy 49th birthday to the Man @therock I hope you will enjoy your gift! I had a lot of fun working on this project." Take a look:

Several users praised the chef's skills and as well as his creative bent of mind, and others just wanted a bite of the yummy dumbbell.
