Terry Crews Talks About M&F Cover on 'The Talk'

Terry Crews On The Talk

Is there anything that Terry Crews can't do? The first question he fielded as a guest on CBS' The Talk on Wednesday was: "Would you eat vagina yogurt (the topic of a previous segment)?" Think that rattled the T-man? Think again. Without skipping a beat, Terry says: "Wooh, It gives pink berry a whole new meaning!" Legend.

Terry went on to discuss his latest cover of Muscle & Fitness and talks (and impersonates, hilariously) about how Arnold Schwarzenegger and Slyvester Stallone complemented his physique on the set of The Expendables. As usual, with Terry, this is awesome stuff. Check it out:

Healthy Eats: Get Your Garlic

garlic

The research on garlic is resoundingly positive. Eating a clove a day has been shown to dissolve blood clots that could increase risk of heart attack, and the bulb’s sulfur-containing compounds have been found to lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

To get the most out of garlic, chop, slice, or crush it five minutes before adding to dishes—you’ll end up with more allicin, a sulfur compound that gives garlic its powerful punch.

Did You Know: Garlic consumption may also prevent certain cancers: esophagus, pancreas, and prostate.

Nutritional info above is for chicken recipe at right.

Directions:
Place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper. Put the chicken skin-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the chicken, add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.
Add 1 cup water and deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to loosen the browned bits on the bottom. Add the asparagus, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, lemon zest and juice, and extra-virgin olive oil.

Francois 'Bang Bang' Ambang's Impressive KO at Glory 19

Francois Ambang Glory 19 KO

Kickboxer Francois Ambang got back to winning ways on February 6 at Glory 19 when he knocked out Stephen Richards in the second round of their fight at the Hampton Coliseum. Check out the footage below and move to about 2:30 to catch the beginning of the end of Richards' night. Ambang sets up the big KO with a 1-2 combination followed by a right hand counter punch. It's clear that Richards is stunned, and his legs begin to betray him. Ambang senses the shift in momentum and pounces to end the fight  with a right low kick followed by another huge right hand, which temporarily separates his opponent from his senses.

As commentator Mauro Ranallo notes, Ambang is one fight removed from being on the receiving end of a vicious knockout. The rebound win is all the more impressive given that the fighter suffered this brutal loss to Raymond Daniels (who also fought on the same Glory 19 card and lost by first round knockout to Nieky Holzken) at Glory 16. 

3 Finishing Techniques For Explosive Muscle Growth

Ignite explosive muscle gains with these 3 powerful ways to finish your workout. You'll get a monster pump and spur some booming growth!

Minimize Neck Pain for Optimal Performance

Neck pain can be caused by injury to any of the structures in the neck: the muscles, nerves, vertebrae, and the disks in between the vertebrae. Many people describe it as having a stiff neck. If neck pain involves nerves, you may feel numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arm, hand, or elsewhere.

The most common cause of neck pain is muscle strain or tension. Usually daily activities and behavior are to blame, such as bending over your computer— or just being stressed.

Simple neck discomfort from a strain or stress can easily be remedied with certain exercises (described at right), the application of cold packs, or by decreasing strenuous activity.

Protect Your Neck

These movements can help prevent neck pain.

1. Cervical rotation

Turn your head side to side in a slow, controlled motion.

2. Cervical flexion

In a slow motion, bend your head forward and return it to rest.

3. Retraction/protraction

Move your shoulders forward and back.

4. Desk Ergonomics

Sit up straight, then adjust your monitor so you look straight ahead.

KNOW THE PROBLEM: Neck pain is most often caused by poor posture, stress, or overly rigorous exercise.

Olympic Weightlifting at The Arnold Sports Festival

Olympic Weightlifting

Powerlifting and strongman competitions measure brute strength; Olympic weightlifting, meanwhile, demands strength, explosiveness, and perfect technique. At the Arnold Weightlifting
Championships you’ll see some of the world’s strongest men complete the most technically demanding lifts in all of strength competition. You might even see a new world record set.

“We are a local meet that allows for topflight competition across many ages and talent levels,” says Mark Cannella, director of the Arnold Weightlifting Championships. I know of no competition, anywhere, where a first-time contestant can expect to lift next to a world or Olympic record holder.”

The Sport of weightlifting consists of two lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. Participants get three attempts to lift the maximum weight possible in each event, with the heaviest snatch and heaviest clean and jerk combined to calculate the lifter’s score. Athletes are assigned to weight classes.

To learn more about weightlifting, go to usaweightlifting.com. To register to compete, visit columbusweightlifting.org.

Olympic Lifting Defined

1. SNATCH: This move is performed by hoisting the bar from the floor to arms’ length overhead in a single, explosive motion.

2. CLEAN AND JERK: This is a two-part lift in which the bar is first hoisted to the shoulders (the clean) and then pressed overhead to arms’ length.

Neck Training with Head Nods

neck

The look respected in a potentially volatile situation is not that of the men’s physique competitor with huge biceps!

If one looks to build a physique that screams alpha male physical prowess and drips with masculine virility, it all starts with the neck.

A hard-bitten street soldier can tell the difference between “all show and no go” muscles and a truly dominant, functional physique. In dive bars and prison yards, everyone is always watching and waiting to figure out who are the predators and who is the prey. The easiest way to prevent being labeled “prey” is to build a no-nonsense physique. A no-nonsense physique begins with a strong, thick neck.

No More Pencil Neck

Baggy sweats can hide skipped leg days; oversized shirts can hide missed meals and over indulgences in the “finer things in life,” and a turtle neck will just draw attention to that stack of dimes you shamelessly call your neck.

No neck machine?  No neck harness? No problem! I am going to share with you a way to build your neck that requires as little as five minutes up to four times a week to sharpen that pencil to become street ready.  Not to mention, help turn the sagging jaw line into the chiseled masterpiece it once was.

Start Nodding

The technique is called head nods. I learned this technique from former Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion and Jailhouse Strong co-author, Adam benShea. This is a staple training technique of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo fighters that evolved out of some of Brazil’s toughest favelas (ghettos).

How To Do It

Lie on your back. Lift your head and bring your chin to your chest for a set of 40 repetitions. Keep your head off the ground and look to your left for a set of 40. Repeat to the right. Keeping your head raised off the ground, touch your left ear to your left shoulder for 40 repetitions. Repeat to your right. Go through this circuit 2-3 times, and be amazed at the difficulty and effectiveness. Do this 3-4 times a week!

Former Pro Wrestler Gets Lean for New Role

Adam Copeland

M&F: Without the neck injury, would you still be wrestling?

AC: I don’t know at this point. I always said my drop-dead age with wrestling was 40—and I’m 40. I would always see a guy like Brett Favre and be like, “I get it. I get why he’s trying to go to the Vikings now, because he’ll make that 60-yard pass with two seconds left. That’s still there—just not all the time.” I never wanted to get there. But there was no second-guessing. The decision was made by the WWE medical team.

That’s when Syfy picked you up for Haven, where you play a character named Dwight Hendrickson.

Oh, man, poor Dwight. He’s a tortured character. He’s cursed. He’s a veteran of Afghanistan, and when the guns go off, the bullets find him. It’s a tragic character who’s been really fun to play.

How did you handle the transition from an arena to a single camera?

When you’re doing WrestleMania in Detroit and there are 80,000 people, you have to go with big movements with big expressions, bulging eyes. In one of my first episodes of Haven, the director goes,“What are you doing with your eyes? Stop it.” You have to translate your mood to a small city.

How is your training different now?

I’m much more fit now. Wrestling keeps you in the best “worst shape” possible because, you look in the mirror and you’re like, “OK,” but you feel horrible because your entire body is sore. I used to lift very heavy for that. Now I ride my mountain bike, use the rower, and circuit train.

HEAVY DUTY: In his heyday, Copeland says he once military-pressed 315 pounds.

HAVEN airs Fridays on the Syfy channel at 7 p.m. Eastern.

The Binge-Eating Recovery Guide

The Splurge Surge: Your Fat-Burning Plan B

Staying on your diet and workout plan is hard. Whether it's the holidays, birthdays, or the big game, there are plenty of tempting excuses to indulge.

If you've fallen prey, don't worry -- we've got you covered. Just remember these two keys as you try to control the damage. 

Start Eating

eat-healthy

Trying to offset your binges with an excessive caloric restriction will only set you up for failure. Basically, your body will think the end of times is near and will shut down. Once that happens, your body will desperatley cling to fat. No matter what you ate, go back to your regularly scheduled diet once you're done splurging. Skipping meals is a definite no-go.

Start Moving

crunches-six-pack

Start moving to put those extra calories to good use.

Those interested in fat loss should do a dumbbell circuit. This one is so short and effective you could do it over your lunch break!
The setup is as follows: Do 10 reps for each exercise with no break. You can rest three minutes in between sets -- this will jumpstart your fat-burning

If you are in the muscle-building camp, those extra calories could help you pack on some size. Try a whole-body workout by pairing compound movements with smaller ones. Do one set of an exercise, rest at least 60 seconds, then do a set of the following exercise until you reach the prescribed number of sets.

Get Seal Team Strong and Ripped

Get Seal Team Ripped

By the time a U.S. Navy SEAL makes it into combat, he is a finely honed instrument of war. He’s a ruggedly built, deadly practitioner of combat who is unflinching in the face of danger. His archetypal superhero physique speaks to the tremendous physical strength, stamina, and durability that are emblematic of these elite operators. Before a SEAL is made, however, he must be unmade— deconstructed, one humbling training exercise at a time.

Yet it is not the sets and reps alone that test a SEAL’s constitution and reveal his mettle. It is also those moments of fatigue when perseverance wars with capitulation, when the realities of human limitation must be consciously and repeatedly dismissed for the sake of mission. And here, in the quiet, well-to-do enclave of Encinitas, CA, civilians and aspiring SEALs alike get to fight those battles every day. Welcome to SEALFIT.

MORE THAN TRAINING

SEALFIT’s 20,000-square-foot training complex lies just a block away from the Pacific Ocean and is a short drive from Naval Base Coronado, whose shores are the first stop for SEALs-in-the-making. The complex features housing for clients, a yoga studio, an expansive flat-top area flanked by pullup towers for outdoor training (the Grinder) and a 1,000-squarefoot box for CrossFit and TRX (uscrossfit.com) — none of which will be wasted today. It’s 0630 in this sleepy suburb, the humid, salty air carrying the faint sound of waves kissing the beach.

Navy SEAL pushups

But as a small white-teed army of participants (read: willing victims) prepares for Day 3 of its 16-day residential Special Ops Immersion Academy, that serenity is replaced with the shuffling of boots, the dropping of barbells, and the audio-caffeinated musical stylings of Rob Zombie.

The man running the show is retired Navy SEAL Mark Divine, author of 8 Weeks to SEALFIT, which landed on the New York Times best-seller list earlier this year. He spent 20 years as a SEAL, retiring as a commander in 2011, but is now fully entrenched in the business of helping others realize their full human potential. Divine, 51, is tall and lean but more approachable than you might expect from such a tested warrior. The physical component, he assures us, is just a small part of it.

“SEALFIT training is really about developing five mountains,” says Divine, who spent time as a CPA before answering his calling as a SEAL at age 25. “Physical, mental, emotional, intuitional, and spiritual. We integrate aspects of these five into the workout. You’re not just working out. You’re not just developing physically. You’re developing as a whole person.”

SEAL Team standards chart

Still, the physical results are quickly apparent. Depending on the program, Divine says, participants tend to walk away from SEALFIT carrying five to 10 pounds more muscle and looking leaner than ever—in days or weeks.

ON THE GRINDER

After some initial breathing drills, yoga, and mobility work, the Grinder rumbles to life with the prescribed “warmup” of 30 sandbag getups and stepups using a 70-pound sandbag and a 24-inch box, which is about as awkward as it sounds. But SEAL training, by design, is expansive and covers multiple physical domains. It’s not enough to be able to swim farther and faster than the other guy. You have to be exceptional at everything to be of any use to a SEAL team.

“SEALs operate in very small units, deep behind enemy lines, in all terrains in rough environments,” says Divine. “You have to have a very broad athletic skill set. If you come into SEALs as a bodybuilder or an endurance runner, you won’t succeed until you morph into a more hybrid athlete. You need the strength, stamina, and functional mobility. It’s the training that weeds out those who can’t adapt. It is no different here at SEALFIT.”

Yes, this multifaceted approach is aesthetically and evidentially productive for most athletes (see: CrossFit), but it just plain makes for a more durable athlete: “Durability increases survivability in the world of the SEAL and therefore cannot be overlooked,” Divine says.

Beau Burgener was one of the first men to go through SEALFIT and then go on to become a SEAL. He’s still heavily involved in developing the school’s programming.

“On the physical side of things, it teaches you to embrace the suck and get comfortable being uncomfortable,” Burgener says. “It teaches you to push the boundaries and shows you what your body is capable of handling.”

But this academy isn’t full of aspiring SEALs like Burgener. Participants range in age from 17 to 42, with most having taken time off work (and life) to be here. Those breaking a sweat this morning include, among others, an avionics technician, a student, a software engineer, an industrial engineer and a greens maintenance tech. Two participants are current military, including a female soldier and a Marine hoping to make the jump to SEAL. All have joined here for some of the most grueling training known to man or beast, electing to suffer physical and even verbal beatdowns from Divine’s cadre of instructors.

Coach Derek Price, a chiropractic doctor and former Detroit Lions tight end, lays into one athlete for having his hands on his hips after a set of heavy barbell overhead presses, penalizing the entire class with 30 burpees at day’s end.

“We want them to stay present in each moment,” he says, as the group continues through its 10 sets of three. “Putting their hands on their hips or knees is a sign that they’re checking out and that’s not acceptable.”

Minutes later, Price jabs another participant for using his legs to get through a rep. “Try to be stronger. If you were stronger, you wouldn’t have to do that.” Divine states that SEALFIT training allows you to “work near peak output for extended periods of time for unknown rest periods.” This comes in pretty handy for a Special Forces operator engaged in a firefight and not knowing when reinforcements might arrive. For the rest of us, it serves as a brutal gut check. The next phase, or evolution, called for the class to perform 20 minutes’ worth of work, circuit style.

Navy SEAL sandbag carry

The first move alone—the Curtis P—carried a heavy demand. This barbell-based maneuver calls for participants to do a power clean followed by a lunge on each leg from the rack position and is capped off with a push press. That’s one rep. Five of those at 95 pounds, followed by 10 body-weight dips, and 15 “wall ball” throws—repeat this as many times as possible for 20 minutes.
Instructors shout out motivational phrases for the class to repeat:
“Easy day!”
“Love this!”
“Looking good. Feeling good. Ought to be in Hollywood!”

And with each hooyah, the class digs deeper. The 20-minute mark passes, but Divine urges them to continue. And they do.

UNMAKING MEN

The class gets something of a break after work-capacity training. Grabbing some open real estate on the Grinder, they partake in a little yoga with Divine. But each man (and woman) is wrecked, and even the most basic of poses prove to be a labor.

“Will yourself to recover,” Divine says. Then, after hearing a few groans he adds, “But suffer in silence.” Enter the water hose.

Coach Price takes to blasting participants in the face, one at a time, with a steady stream of H2O. Some of the participants look relieved, others irritated. But it’s all part of the experience. As during BUD/S— the initial 24-week phase of SEAL training—candidates must be separated from their sense of self for the sake of the team. They must be broken and rebuilt, something that Divine says is both necessary and incredibly valuable.

“We want to see if they have the ability to sustain well under that pressure,” Divine says. “My instructors are masterful at taking you to the breaking point and pointing out to you why you’re breaking, and then giving you the tools to step over that chasm. Anytime they face that again, they understand how to dig deep inside and do it on their own. For a civilian who doesn’t have the chance to go to SEAL training, that’s incredibly hard, but I get calls from people years later saying how it’s helped them, not just physically but in life, in relationships, and in business because they’ve gone through these crucible experiences with us where, afterward, nothing seems difficult anymore.”

Navy SEAL barbell lunge

GOING PRIMITIVE

The sanitized trappings of franchise gyms have produced plenty of great physiques over the years. But there is a trend afoot to decontemporize common training methods in favor of grittier, more primal techniques. And at 0950, after 20 minutes of group sprints in an adjacent alley, the class gets to work with battling ropes, tractor tires, sledgehammers, and logs.

In another homage to BUD/S, students gather in teams of four with a 350-pound log and await commands. Retired Navy SEAL and master training specialist Lance Cummings coaches groups through various team exercises with the log including alternating overhead presses, squats, and team log burpees. If one man falls out of sync, someone is catching lumber on their boot. “This teaches them to stay focused and draw energy from one another,” says Divine. That concept of mutual reliance is further tested a half-hour later when the entire class embarks on a pilgrimage to the beach…via buddy carry. Alternating who does the carrying every hundred yards or so, the class makes it down to the Pacific for surf torture.

In what is maybe the most familiar component of known Navy SEAL training, instructors order the class out into the breaking waves, then back onto the sand, where they must roll around and actively try to get as much sand on their bodies as possible before performing more calisthenics, causing what one instructor called an “ungodly amount of chafing in places you don’t even want to know about.” Then it’s a bear crawl back to the surf and onto their backs, faceup, arms interlocked, head to the water as the tide rolls in. More than a little seawater makes its way into mouths and noses, but the class is unshaken.

Surf torture finally comes to an end. Participants line up in formation for a jog back to the compound, where they must now keep pace with their fresh-legged instructors.

This closes the book on the first half of Day 3. Just 13 more to go. You may not have the ambition of joining the world’s most fearsome fighting force, but you can still train like it and, in the process, cultivate a warrior spirit. Muscle failure equals mission success, and that holds true whether you’re grinding it out in your garage gym or tracking down high-value targets in the Hindu Kush.

Zap 'Em Like Zott for Bigger Guns

dumbbell curl

Arnold press, Haney shrugs, Kang squats - chances are if you have an exercise named after you, you’ve done something right. Additionally, the body part the move refers to is most likely to be massive and defined. That certainly applies to George Zottman and his legendary “Zottman Curl.”

The  19th century strongmen were at the epicenter of some insanely creative physical feats. Zottman, at 5’11, 218 lbs. still holds a record that has yet to be matched – he clean and pressed a 175 lb. dumbbell while sitting in a chair. You probably don’t have a 175 lb. dumbbell at your gym…nor do you have 15 inch forearms like Zottman, but you can tack on this classic biceps curl variation to add size and strength to your biceps and forearms.

How to do it

Stand tall, arms straight with a dumbbell in each hand. Palms should be facing away from you. Curl the dumbbells up to your shoulder in a slow controlled manner. Rotate your hands 180 degrees. With this new grip, control the dumbbells down until your arms are straight. Curl the dumbbells back up to your shoulder (this time in a reverse curl). Rotate the hands 180 degrees again and control down till the arms are straight. You will only switch the hands at the top. An easy way to remember the method is up, flip, down…up, flip, down. 

There may be additional stress on the elbows in this movement, so controlling the resistance throughout is crucial. Plus doing them right and often can put you and your jacked up forearms in prime position when there’s a casting call for the inevitable reboot of Over The Top, 1987’s most memorable film about arm wrestling and big rig trucking. 

Supplement your bicep and forearm training by adding the Zottman Zapper to you arm days.
