There’s no shortage of impressive powerlifters showing off their latest accomplishments on social media, but honestly, sometimes it’s hard to stick out in a sea of bar-bending deadlift reps and bench press maxes. But when you see a 20-year-old squatting 901 pounds, you take notice. It’s just one of the many mind-boggling lifts featured on powerlifter Andrew Hause’s Instagram page, and you can check it out for yourself below: While it’s nearly unbelievable on its own, his Instagram and YouTube pages are filled with other equally freakish feats like a 500-pound bench press and 725-pound deadlifts for a set of five. For most gym-goers, doing half this weight once would be the peak of decades of work. For this 20-year-old, they're simply more pelts on a wall he's just beginning to build.
Hause's next meet is in six weeks, and he'll turn 21 in November. If you're a fan of the sport, he's definitely a name to watch.

Ronnie Coleman Shares Post-Back Surgery Updates on Instagram

Pictured: Ronnie Coleman attends the Arnold Sports Festival 2015 When Ronnie Coleman won his eighth consecutiveMr. Olympia title in 2005, he tied Lee Haney for the most wins ever. And as strong as he looked at his peak, he lifted even stronger, repping out weights that most bodybuilders would never dream of touching. But since the end of his reign as Mr. Olympia, all that heavy lifting has taken a toll on Coleman's health. Last week, the 54-year-old took to Instagram to share a few photos documenting his third surgery this year, and his 10th overall. Back in February, he had a spinal fusion surgery, he shared in one caption. Three weeks later, he had another surgery to fix screws that had broken after the first. In the surgery he had last week, all 10 of the screws in his back were replaced with larger screws, he said.
The surgery went well, and Coleman's outlook is remarkably positive, despite his difficult recoveries. In the comments, fans offered tons of support and well-wishes for the former champ. Just two days later, Coleman shared a video of himself walking with the help of a walker. It's a feat he calls a "miracle," writing that he'd normally be on his way to rehab to learn to walk again at this point post-surgery. "I’m really in a state of shock because after the same results after the same surgery you kinda get used to being not able to walk and come to expect it," Coleman writes in the caption.
Walker and hospital gown aside, Coleman's ongoing dedication to the gym definitely shows in his chest and shoulders. Even when he struggles to get on his feet, he makes sure to get a good workout in. Check out some of his recent workout videos below.

'Raw' Recap: The Shield Stands United Against Baron Corbin and the Authors of Pain

It's no secret that when Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins are allied together as “The Shield,” they're an unstoppable force. So it's also no surprise that their rivals are trying to break them apart. On Monday's Raw, Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, and Drew McIntyre focused on Ambrose, the only one of “The Shield” who currently doesn't have a WWE belt. The three told Ambrose that he was simply being used as a tool by Reigns and Rollins, and that there was an open offer to join their team. When “The Shield” was ready to confront Strowman and his crew, the acting Raw General Manager, Baron Corbin, interrupted the scuffle to make it clear to “The Shield” that he'd be taking them on tonight alongside another tag team, which was later revealed to be the vicious “Authors of Pain.” Later on in the night, Reigns, Ambrose, and Rollins showcased their chemistry while facing Corbin and “AOP.” Despite the monstrous strength of both “AOP” members, “The Shield” was able to hold their own, and Reigns eventually got the pin on Corbin. However, Strowman, Ziggler, and McIntyre interrupted the match to view the battle from afar, and after the victory, Ambrose was presented with a choice—stay with his “Shield” brethren, or join Strowman's crew to get back at Rollins and Reigns for seemingly exploiting him. While he hesitated for a moment, Ambrose went back into the ring to join Rollins and Reigns. “The Shield” remains united for now, but we have the feeling this won't be the last time Strowman, Ziggler and McIntyre will try to recruit Ambrose.

5 Reasons Your Turkish Getup Sucks
https://ift.tt/2OfUV7M
James Michelfelder / M+F Magazine
Fix These Getup Gaffes 1) Your setup is all wrongMany guys curl the weight up to their shoulder while on their back, which can lead to rotator cuff injuries. Instead, “lie on your side with knees and hips at 45-degree angles and put both hands on the weight, pull it close to your chest, and then roll onto your back,” says Matt Pudvah, head strength coach at the Manchester Athletic Club in Manchester, MA. [RELATED1] 2) Your arm placement is off“Your nonworking arm should be angled roughly 45 degrees away from your torso, with your palm flat on the floor,” Pudvah says. If it’s too close to your body, you’ll have to adjust your arm, which throws off your stability. 3) You keep rolling“Don’t reach across your body with the bell and roll to your side—you’re just using your body weight to get up,” Pudvah says. Instead, prop yourself up onto your hand from your back by contracting your abs to raise your torso off the ground. If you’re rolling, use a lighter dumbbell. [RELATED2] 4) You neglect your toeWhen you’re getting into the kneeling position, the big toe of the leg you sweep back should dig into the floor. If it’s not planted, “you’ll be less stable, and it’ll be harder to lunge up,” Pudvah says. 5) You don’t look at the weightKeeping your eyes on the weight allows for better stabilization during the movement.

Ashley Kaltwasser's Tips for a Top-Notch Physique
https://ift.tt/2NEIfYT
Per Bernal
Since the bikini competition category was established at the Olympia eight years ago, Ashley Kaltwasser has stood at the top spot three times (2013–2015), becoming the first rookie to take the title in 2013. Since her first competition in 2011, Kaltwasser has placed first in 15 IFBB Pro League events. But after winning in 2015, she decided to take a much-deserved break from competition. Note: This doesn’t mean she abandoned the gym. “Taking a break from competitions allowed me to focus on lifting heavy and not having to constantly prep,” she says. Kaltwasser trains six days a week, including five days of strength and three days of cardio. Like everyone else, she has good days and bad, but she uses the down days as motivation to keep her going. [RELATED1] “There will always be times when you don’t feel like hitting the gym—but those are the days you make the most improvements,” she notes. “Attitude is a powerful thing, and it’s important to learn how to build up your mind as well as your body.” Kaltwasser’s competitive streak dates back to her youth. Growing up in Akron, OH, she started competing in gymnastics at age 4. She switched to running in high school, where she broke seven records for track and set a record in cross-country. Kaltwasser began training in 2011 and found that she was instantly drawn to the world of competitive fitness. She emphasizes that a competitor’s diet doesn’t have to be miserable. “I believe in eating tasty foods during prep,” she says. “If you don’t like a certain food in your diet, then just make a substitution.” During prep she’ll typically remove additives like almond milk, coffee creamer, and other condiments and cut down on any extra food nibbling, while making an effort to increase her water consumption to at least 11⁄2 gallons a day. [RELATED2] Kaltwasser hopes her hard work and dedication will pay off in Las Vegas this September but acknowledges she’s had to adapt to the sport as it continues to grow. “The sport of bikini is always changing. If you take a look back at the first few years, it looks nothing like what’s being rewarded today,” she says. “The bikini styles, posing, and body types have definitely advanced. I have to improve each and every year to keep up. But I love it!” Kaltwasser's Training Split

This Guy Just Lifted Your Max Deadlift Over His Head

Gripping and ripping 580 pounds is an impressive feat that'll earn you some serious cred among your fellow gym bros. And cleaning that much weight up to your shoulders is bananas. But pressing it all overhead? That's some Thanos-type strength. Well, Georgian weightlifter—and the gold medalist in the 105+ kilogram class at the 2016 summer Olympic games—Lasha Talakhadze completed all three of those lifts in one fowl swoop when he clean and jerked 264 kg (or 582 pounds) to set the unofficial world record. Take a look: This 6'6", 360-pound Manimal is only 24 years old, which means he'll most likely be headed to Tokyo, Japan in 2020 to defend his title. And we wouldn't be shocked to see Talakhadze—who also boasts a world-record snatch of 484 pounds (220 kg)—make history by being the first man to put up 600 pounds (272 kg) for the clean and jerk.

The Rock’s Latest Cheat Meal Included Enough Sushi for a Family of Four
https://ift.tt/2PWWcOm

To have your body run like a machine, you've got to fuel it up with the right types of calories. And while that fuel needs to be clean and nutritious, every now and then you can splurge on a decadent meal built solely for taste, not function. Few people have mastered the art of the cheat meal quite like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and in his latest Instagram posts, it's clear he hasn’t forgotten how to treat himself. In the first post, we get a look at his mammoth dinner, which featured enough sushi to meet most people’s protein requirement for the week: That should have been more than enough for The Rock to satisfy any cravings he made have had—but then came dessert. This included a plate of enormous cookies that he described as “Double milk chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies with creamy peanut butter smothered between the two cookies.” He’ll probably be up at dawn and bench pressing a full-grown deer to burn it all off anyway.

Workouts in a Box: Anytime, Anywhere Exercise Routines
https://ift.tt/2NAR1XK
There is nothing like the feeling of strong, vibrant movement in wide-open spaces. Something just feels right about those workouts that break us out of the gym confines and allow us to explore a more three-dimensional, undomesticated fitness experience. We were made to run free, climb trees, swim, and carry essential materials.
Unfortunately, sometimes we have to face 21st-century realities. We are stuck at work, stuck in an apartment, or trying to sneak in a workout while you watch the baby sleep. Your biology may prefer to run free in wide open spaces, but it needs movement however that can be accomplished. In fact, you will feel more alert, energized, and ready for the day if you can fit in any of these circuits. Regardless of the size of your cell, you can still train hard. Here is your, no equipment necessary, guide to fitness inside a box.
Warm up? Yes, that’s right. A cheetah doesn’t warm up, but a cheetah also doesn’t have to fit in workout circuits on his lunch break. A warm up is the beginning of all good training.
Warm Up
Strength CircuitsYou won’t break any powerlifting records, but you can greatly improve strength even without weights.
Strength Circuit
Advanced Strength Circuit (3-4 Rounds)
Metabolic Conditioning CircuitsThese magical little circuits pack an entire workout into a short time. They will rev your heart rate and spike your metabolism for hours after.
Metabolic AMRAP Circuit
Set the clock for 10 Minutes (or whatever time you prefer) and do as many rounds as possible (AMRAP). Rest as needed.
Metabolic EMOM CircuitSet the clock for 10 Minutes (or whatever time you prefer) and do a round of this circuit Every Minute on the Minute
10-1 Descending Pyramid
TabataPick any exercise. 8 rounds of 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest. This is four brutal minutes, but that is all! Do three tabatas and you can have one hell of a total body workout in only 12 minutes. The tabata protocol is perhaps the best method there is to pack a lot of fitness in a little time. They are the workouts we can all fit in if we only have the willpower. You can train that too, you know!
If you are not sure what to pick, I like lunges, push-ups, and mountain climbers.

Here’s Larry Wheels Benching 225 Pounds With One Arm
https://ift.tt/2zq8iKw
Instagram/larrywheels
Before we start talking about how freakish it is that 23-year-old powerlifter Larry Wheels is out here benching 225 pounds with one arm, we should stress that you really shouldn’t try this at your own gym (despite what he tells you in his Instagram caption). Just leave this type of feat to Mr. Wheels, OK? Great. Now, back to talking about Larry being an absolute anomaly of strength. As you can see, not only does he power 225 pounds off his chest with one arm, he does so without any big struggle—it’s just another part of his workout, seemingly. On an Instagram page full of jaw-dropping power exhibitions, this one ranks among his more cartoonishly impressive (he also posted a video where he squats 500 pounds for a set of 25, which gets our legs wobbly just watching). Anyone who benches knows that 225 pounds is one of the big milestones in your progress. Even the NFL uses the 225-pound bench to measure a draftee’s strength as part of the combine. So, to see Wheels do it with one arm is pretty astonishing—if not a little disenchanting if you yourself struggle with the same weight. Check out the video below:
