Rory McIlroy shows he is a beast in the weight room

Do you even lift trophies, bro?

Rory McIlroy hoists plenty of them, including two majors in 2014, but those are practically feathers compared to the weight the world No. 1 is lifting in the gym on a daily basis. McIlroy, who is in Dubai this week for the European Tour's season-ending DP World Tour Championship, shared a photo of him lifting, well, a lot of pounds.

Justin Rose got in a fun joke at McIlroy's expense, challenging him on Instagram to lift even more weight in the gym.

"@mcilroyrory I'll see your 400lbs and raise you 10! #Poker #GoBigOrGoHome," Rose said.

Seeing as McIlroy was third on the PGA Tour last season in driving distance, maybe Rose shouldn't prod McIlroy to get even stronger.
