SPONSORED: 6 tips to help athletes gain muscle mass

Muscle strength is a crucial factor for wrestlers to win matches that is the reason why they use MELANOTAN 2 | 10MG. The ease of making movements and overpowering the opponent while wrestling depends significantly on muscle mass and strength. To gain strong and big muscles, wrestlers must observe their diet to ensure that their bodies get all the necessary nutrients. The muscle building process needs a good supply of proteins to provide amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscles.

Other nutrients are equally important for gaining muscle mass. In addition, workouts play a crucial role in building muscles; thus, wrestlers must have workouts as a necessary part of their training routines. To supplement diet and exercise, wrestlers can consider adding list of legal steroids, like sustanon 300 , to their training program, as they are known for promoting more muscle mass faster, and for facilitating quicker recovery after an intense training.

The following are some tips that athletes—more so those in professional wrestling—can employ to increase their muscle mass:

1. Proper nutrition to fuel the body

Since wrestlers intend to increase their muscle mass, eating proper food is a must. As much as there is a need to focus on creating a caloric surplus, it is also important not to prioritize caloric numbers and forget about quality. The important thing is to focus on eating plenty of appropriate foods. Ideally, the wrestler should eat three meals per day and ensure that lean proteins, good carbs, healthy fats, and veggies are constituents of each meal. For snacks, high-protein snacks are good throughout the day.

2. Endurance training

Wrestling matches and practices drain your muscles, thus there is a need to build endurance. To build muscle strength and endurance simultaneously, as a wrestler, you should include running at a reasonably fast pace for about six miles, or at least three miles at a time, and include hills and stairs. This endurance training should be combined with wrestling practices to have the best results.

3. Resistance training

Wrestlers should include resistance training in both their morning running exercises and wrestling practice to build muscles. Some examples of resistance training are static dumbbell lifts, and shoulder rotations with a resistance band. Pushups and pull-ups are also great for enhancing muscle strength and endurance.

4. Supplementing appropriately

It is crucial to eat nutrient-packed foods, but to take your potential to another level and get the best possible results, it is necessary to also consume appropriate vitex supplements to succeed. A protein shake is a great supplement after a workout in order to start the recovery, rebuilding, and growth processes. You must supplement correctly with your goals in mind.

5. Doing actual wrestling practice

The most effective way to build the necessary muscles for wrestling is to actually practice wrestling. The wrestler should get a partner close to his or her size and repeatedly do one move as much as possible for 30 seconds, and then change the partner. The activity not only helps to build muscles but also to develop hard skin through contact and to toughen your muscles for future encounters.

6. Managing intensity

Even with proper dieting, great workouts, and reasonable recovery workouts each week, it is also necessary to manage the intensity each day. A wrestler’s training, like that of any other athlete, is affected by insufficient sleep, anxiety, stress, and other things. Despite having a good workout plan, you need to listen to your body, and if your body is not feeling like it can take an intense workout, adjust your workout as need be. You can take a walk, do stretches at home, or significantly reduce the volume of the workout. It is advisable take a “slow” week after a highly-intensive training period of about four weeks. During the week, you should incorporate reasonably lower volumes of workout to enable the body to repair and restore itself. This will enable the body to get stronger for the next series of training.

Nikki Cross makes main roster debut on Smackdown

Nikki Cross has joined her fellow SAnitY members on Smackdown after the NXT star made her long-awaited debut on the show last night, answering Becky Lynch’s open challenge. Cross was accompanied to the ring by all three members of SAnitY.

Cross, who is from Scotland, has been under a WWE deal since April 2016 and was signed after she attended a WWE tryout in London in late 2015. She joined SAnitY in October 2016 but when Alexander Wolfe, Eric Young, and Killian Dain moved to the main roster on the post-WrestleMania 34 Smackdown, Cross was left behind at NXT.

She had a few unsuccessful attempts at the NXT Women’s title over the past year and just lately was involved in the Aleister Black storyline where she was revealed to be aware of the name who attacked Black at Full Sail University prior to NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4.

Triple H undergoes successful surgery to repair torn pectoral muscle

Triple H underwent successful surgery yesterday to repair a torn pectoral muscle, an injury he sustained during the tag team match with Shawn Michaels against The Undertaker and Kane at Crown Jewel.

The surgery was done in Birmingham, Alabama at the Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center and was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas.

The road to recovery has already started for Triple H and while no timetable has been given for his return, it is looking likely that he will be missing WrestleMania next year unless he makes one of those “Super Cena” type of recoveries!

Triple H wrestled most of the match with the injury but managed to finish it regardless. On Monday, he posted a photo on Twitter showing the massive bruising on his right shoulder. He did not go on the European tour due to his injury.

HHH thanked everyone who sent him well wishes, messages, tweets, and texts over the weekend.

Smackdown’s Survivor Series teams announced

The men’s and women’s Smackdown teams for the Survivor Series were revealed on Smackdown last night from Manchester, England.

The five men who will wrestle for team blue are Daniel Bryan, The Miz, Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, and the newly-crowned “best in the world” and Smackdown Commissioner Shane McMahon. Bryan and The Miz were made co-captains and chose the other three members of the team, with both choosing Shane, Bryan choosing Mysterio, and then Samoa Joe, picked by Miz, defeated Jeff Hardy, who was picked by Bryan, in the final match to determine the last member of the team.

The women’s team was also announced by General Manager Paige. Last week, Charlotte Flair did not accept Paige’s request to captain the team and said she would have to think about it. She was still picked for the team though along with Carmella, Naomi, Asuka, and Sonya Deville.

There will also be a tag team traditional Survivor Series match with The Usos captaining the Smackdown team. The New Day were asked to join as well, a request which was accepted.

Road To Power Struggle Shizuoka — 11/01/2018

Good morning, and we are back!

It’s November 1st, Road to Power Struggle has led us to Shizuoka, where, tonight, CHAOS will finally assemble a team without Rocky Romero, and, therefore, without obvious to be pinned canididate, to face Bullet Club OG. Let’s get it on!

Robbie Eagles vs Yota Tsuji

Eagles pins Tsuji fairly quickly with a move I haven’t seen before, hard to describe, and one I couldn’t find online. Sorry!

2. Jushin “Thunder” Liger, Tiger Mask & Tomoaki Honma vs Volador Jr. Soberano Jr & Ren Narita

Very unusual to see Narita here. Honma makes him tap out to the STF for the finish.

3. Yoshinobu Kanemaru & El Desperado vs ACH & Shota Umino

ACH is wearing the stupid rugby uniform. Umino is obviously here to take the pin. El Desperado hits Umino with a spinebuster and applies Numero Dos for a submission win.

4. Bushi & Shingo Takagi (with Tetsuya Naito) vs Ryusuke Taguchi & Ayato Yoshida

OK, I love warm-up Young Lion matches, but we are four bouts in and so far every match contained somebody obviously there to take the loss. It is surprising to see Naito here, he doesn’t normally come out with his teammates, unless he is part of the match. A little later we see him, sitting in the front row, in a special corner area. For the finish Takagi clotheslined Yoshida and pinned him. Yoshida looked really good in this match. Naito didn’t seem happy after the match, or, maybe he was supposed to be worried about something.

5. Tomohiro Ishii & Rocky Romero vs Minoru Suzuki & TAKA Michinoku

Ok, this is a step up. Both Romero and TAKA have been used to take the pin, so the winner here is unclear (though so far on this tour it’s been Ishii’s team) Romero pins TAKA with La Magistral.

6. Hiroshi Tanahashi & Toa Henare vs Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens

Henare was dominating Owens, but Takahashi came in and Owens, surprisingly, pinned Toa with a packaged piledriver. I am surprised, as Ace is the only one here who New Japan is promoting at the time.

7. Kushida & Chris Sabin vs Roppongi 3K (with Rocky Romero)
If I understood the last tournament table I saw correctly, a win here would mean Roppongi 3K repeat as Junior Tag League champions. If they don’t win, Suzuki Gun’s team of Yoshinobu Kanemaru and El Desperado would triumph. A very very good match took place. The new version of Timesplitters dominated SHO for a long time and really made it seem like they were going to win afterwards. However, SHO and YOH mounted a comeback and won with their usual double flapjack on Sabin.

However….it appears that instead of a clear winner, there was another team that’s due to its points made it a three way tie. Bushi & Shingo Takagi make it to ringside.

8. Kazuchika Okada, Hirooki Goto, Toru Yano & Best Friends vs Jay White, Guerillas of Destiny, Bad Luck Fale & Gedo (with Jado)

I am not going to write this up as this was exactly like the Tokyo match, only after Jay White blade runnered and pinned Chuckie T, there was no beatdown and no Tanahashi save, just Okada being held back from White.

Impact Wrestling teams up with House of Glory indie promotion for WrestleMania week show

Taking advantage of the thousands and thousands of wrestling fans who will be in the area for WrestleMania 35, Impact Wrestling today announced that they have partnered with independent promotion House of Glory Wrestling for a live event on April 4, 2019 in New York.

The event, titled Culture Clash 19, will feature Impact’s top stars along with stars from HOG as they perform at The NYC Arena in Queens. Tickets will cost $20 and will be available at a later time. The show will air live and free on Impact’s Twitch account. The April 4 date will be a Thursday so it will be avoiding the major WWE shows in the area as well.

For WrestleMania 34 this year, Impact teamed up with Lucha Underground for a live event at WrestleCon which also aired live on Twitch.

WWE acquires the video library of the World Wrestling Council

WWE Network

PWInsider.com is reporting that WWE has acquired the video library of the World Wrestling Council, the Puerto Rican promotion owned by WWE Hall of Famer Carlos Colon and Victor Jovia.

The website adds that WWE got their hands on their library last month and everything has already shipped to the WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, in preparation to be digitized for its newest home, the WWE Network.

The WWC was originally known as Capitol Sports Promotions in 1973 and WWE Hall of Famer Gorilla Monsoon was also involved in it. The name change came in 1983 and the promotion was part of the NWA until 1988.

WWC still airs weekly on WAPA-TV although they just recently resumed new episodes after its headquarters lost power for a long time due to infrastructure damage thanks to Hurricane Maria last year. The wrestlers that formed part of the WWC roster were allowed to work for other promotions as long as they weren’t booked to lose clean.

WWE owns over 25 video libraries from different promotions and eras, some of which are already available on the WWE Network.

Total Divas S8 E7 episode recap: Chase Your Dreams

In this episode of Total Divas Paige and her friend, Nia Jax, discussed possible career changes for Paige since she is no longer able to wrestle due to neck injury.

Paige revealed that she had never had a part time job, or indeed any job at all outside of wrestling. Therefore, she thought it would be fun for her and Nia to try out some typical summer jobs that teenagers often have.

First, they tried making pizzas at a pizzeria. Nia was better than Paige at making pizzas. Then Nia and Paige decided to try driving petty cabs. They didn’t have much success with this either. Similarly, when they tried to work in a bowling alley, they quit after being told that they had to search through the garbage for glasses lost by an elderly customer.

I think that the moral of the story is that these girls shouldn’t quit their day jobs. Luckily, Paige has her new job as General Manager of Smackdown Live to keep her occupied!

Meanwhile, another WWE Superstar continues to ask for help in jumpstarting her career. WWE Superstar Lana asked for help in preparing for the women’s WWE Money in the Bank ladder match from Daniel Bryan. So, Lana and her husband, Rusev, headed to San Diego to get help from the ladder match pro.

While Lana and Daniel worked, Rusev began talking to Daniel’s sister-in-law, Nicole, and asked what Bryan and his wife Brie had done for their daughter’s first birthday. Upon hearing that the parents had opted for a small family celebration, Rusev was outraged and insisted that Birdie should have a large birthday party complete with several Bulgarian traditions. At first, I thought that Brie and Bryan would be upset about the party, but they were okay with it.

May there be many many more birthdays to come on Total Divas.

SPONSORED: 5 activities for you and your girlfriend


According to all coaches and athletes, good sport activities require a constant good stimulus. This is difficult only at first glance, but in fact, it is easy and pleasant. Joint activities will allow you to spend more time together (as you know, joint activities unite). Well, doing sports with your loved one, you will also get the opportunity to touch your partner more often. So, what to choose? Let’s figure it out! The text is taken from https://j4l.com/women.love.

1.    CrossFit

If you don’t want to spend time on exercise machines and the dream of steel muscles doesn’t leave you, then join people who like CrossFit. It consists of often changing muscle-strengthening exercises of high intensity. CrossFit is good because this activity can be done in any season, at the stadium and even at home (in an unforeseen situation). However, a gym offers the largest space for sports creativity. Special shells for CrossFit will transform the classical basic exercises into almost the Olympic program. It includes a constant change of the training program. In contrast to the gym, it is strictly contraindicated to train for a long time on one complex. You need to change everything: the exercises and the principles of programming. By the way, a holiday together can be an excellent motivation for a girlfriend and your main argument is the unflappable “Well, do you want to be the most beautiful on the beach, dear?” Be prepared for the fact that you will have to give all the best of yourself. You will be forced to jump, run, push up, and squat. And you will do it at fast speeds.

2.    Running

Fitness trainers say that it is better not to run alone when there is an opportunity to attract someone else to this activity. At the beginning of training, even small distances are difficult. But doing it with your loved one, you will get additional motivation. According to the research, couples that run together, run distances about one-third longer than people who run alone. Running will help tone all muscle groups, develop endurance, and improve the cardiovascular system. Even if you run only on weekends, you will notice that you have become noticeably slimmer. How to run together? It is not necessary to adjust to the rhythm of each other. Start running together and then choose a comfortable tempo for everyone. If you both just start your workouts, increase physical activity gradually. Where to run? It is best to choose for running a forest or park near a house. And here is a pleasant bonus: always finish running with stretching. You can help each other and stretch much more effectively.

3.    Stretching

Stretching is a set of exercises and positions for stretching the muscles and the tendons of the whole body. It is initially better to engage in this kind of fitness in a couple than singly: to stretch oneself, you need not only willpower but also physical strength and weight. In stretching, delicacy and the ability to feel the reaction of the partner’s body are very important. This is what can bring pleasure to both of you. Also, you can try yoga. It is a kind of stretching as well. Joint yoga is another interesting option. As you know, this is one of the most effective ways of gaining inner harmony. And if you decide to seek a path to liberation from the material together, then you will live happily. After all, yoga perfectly develops flexibility and endurance, helps distract from everyday vanity, and concentrate on the main thing. Another argument in favor of such a pastime is the opportunity to learn the technique of Thai massage.

4.    Rock climbing

Do you dream of doing sports and actively relaxing? Do you want to spend time with a loved one and get an unforgettable experience? We suggest you do climbing! It doesn’t require special training. Imagine that you cling to elusive protrusions with your fingertips, grope for a new ledge, gradually climbing higher and higher. And behind your back, there is she – a prompting and supporting lady who encourages, rejoices the smallest victory, and is ready to pull the safety line as hard as she can without letting you fall at any moment. And then the roles will be replaced and you will nervously look at her from below, repeating “To the right, I hold, look for the right!” This is a great way to learn how to help and trust each other and develop coordination of movements. Also, rock climbing is an excellent way to maintain a beautiful body. In order to spend hours conquering the heights, you need a good physical preparation: powerful hands and feet are simply necessary to stay on top. In addition, a climber shouldn’t have a drop of excess weight. After all, the more your own weight is, the more difficult it is for you to lift your body up, and this is an excellent incentive not eat junk food.

5.    Tennis

This game is very useful for couples. If you watched tennis on TV or even tried to play it, you probably know that during the game, you need to actively move and run. The excitement will not allow you to stand still, and you will constantly be on the move in an attempt to score a winning ball or to repel an opponent’s attack. Due to such exercises, extra calories are burned. And after several active sessions per week, you both will feel changes in weight and your bodies. So, if you need to lose a couple of extra pounds, tennis is what you need! Both and table tennis will teach you and a partner to play in one area, be a team, and understand each other’s intentions with a barely perceptible gesture. You literally read minds of each other. In addition, with the help of such a sport as tennis, endurance develops well. Good endurance will be useful for a morning run and just for the gym.

It is great to lead a healthy life and be in good shape! But it will be even better if you start doing sports with your loved one! This is a good occasion to spend more time together and bring something new into your life.

New Raw Tag Team champions crowned in Manchester

There are new Raw Tag Team champions and they are the Authors of Pain!

The former NXT Tag Team champs defeated Rollins and Ambrose on Raw last night from Manchester although in reality it was a handicap match as Dean Ambrose never showed up to help Rollins defend the titles.

The AOP, who haven’t done much since their main roster call up from the night after WrestleMania 34, recently aligned themselves with 205 Live GM Drake Maverick who serves as their manager.

Akam and Rezar have been signed to a WWE deal since 2016 and made their debut at NXT Takeover: The End by attacking American Alpha. They won the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and at Takeover: San Antonio in January 2017 they won the NXT Tag Team titles from #DIY. They lost the gold to SAnitY at Takeover: Brooklyn III which was their first loss in NXT.

Universal champion Brock Lesnar on Raw next week

The new WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar will be returning to Raw next week.

Brock, who flew home from Saudi Arabia and is not part of the Euro tour, won the vacant title against Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel last Friday, continuing the controversial theme that surrounded the event.

Lesnar will be taking on AJ Styles at the Survivor Series later this month in a rematch from last year’s November show. Lesnar won that non-title match last year.

The new champ recently signed a new two-match deal with WWE, one of which is this Survivor Series match against Styles.

Raw Survivor Series teams start to take shape

The Raw Survivor Series team started to take shape last night on Monday Night Raw with the captain and the first three members announced.

Acting Raw GM Baron Corbin will be captaining the red brand with Dolph Ziggler, Braun Strowman, and Drew McIntyre on the team so far. Corbin will not be wrestling.

Hall of Famer Kurt Angle wanted to captain the team like last year but Corbin put him in a match against himself with the winner getting to lead Team Raw. Corbin didn’t end up wrestling though and it was McIntrye who took his place, eventually winning against Kurt Angle to keep Corbin’s place as the captain.

Alexa Bliss – who still cannot wrestle – was made the captain of the women’s Team Raw and will be announcing her team members next week.

NXT live event in San Jose on 11/15 changed to a television taping

The previously announced NXT non-televised live event set for Thursday, November 15 in San Jose, California has been changed to an NXT television taping.

The show will be held at the San Jose State University Events Center and tickets are available now at NXTtickets.com. This show will take place just two days before NXT Takeover: WarGames II at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on the eve of the Survivor Series.

With all the tapings leading up to WarGames done, this TV taping will be for the post-Takeover NXT TV show. Usually WWE holds a set of tapings after a Takeover show on a Wednesday but this time around they won’t be doing any filming until November 28, which means they have to tape two shows to fill the gap between Takeover and the next tapings at Full Sail University. A few matches are also taped before Takeover goes on the air which would then air as the next episode.

Raw, Smackdown, and Mixed Match Challenge to air on tape delay this week from the UK

Monday Night Raw, Smackdown Live, and Mixed Match Challenge will all be on tape delay this week as WWE records its television shows from Manchester, England as part of the European tour.

The three shows will air in their usual time slot in the United States but will not be live as tapings would have finished already by the time the shows air on TV.

For those watching “live” this week outside the U.S., all shows will go back to their regular slot as the United States moved back the clock by one hour on Sunday morning so the five-hour time difference with GMT is restored.

Brock’s non-exclusive new WWE deal is for two more matches

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer revealed some details about Brock Lesnar’s future in the WWE in one of his latest podcasts.

Meltzer said that Brock signed a new WWE deal this week that includes two matches, one of which will be at the Survivor Series against AJ Styles. He added that the original plan was for Roman Reigns to retain the Universal title at Crown Jewel but once he was out, McMahon offered a truckload of money to Brock to come back.

As things stand right now, Lesnar does not have a UFC deal but his short contract with WWE will allow him to fight in the UFC if he wants to as it is not exclusive. “Lesnar’s price with UFC probably increases every time his price with WWE increases. In this deal he can do UFC anytime he wants,” Meltzer said.

UFC Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier called out Brock last night in his UFC 230 post-fight interview and told him to bring his new WWE title with him when he comes to his house.

Scott Hall ready to reunite nWo in Saudi Arabia if WWE wants to

Former WWE Intercontinental champion Scott “Razor Ramon” Hall already has an idea for the next nWo reunion: Saudi Arabia.

Speaking to Hannibal.TV, the WWE Hall of Famer said that if WWE goes to Saudi Arabia again next year, he’ll be happy to tag along and added, “If you want to bring the nWo over there the next time, let me know!”

Hall said that staying away from such countries is not the answer to solving problems. “Plus, we are not a bunch of politicians. We’re entertainers, we’re wrestlers, we’re not involved in all that global stuff. That’s the way I look at it,” Hall continued.

Hogan, Nash, Hall, and Bischoff recently got together at Mango’s Tropical Cafe in Orlando, Florida for The 2Sweet nWo Reunion which was a massive success.
