Drew McIntyre On How Brock Lesnar Inspired His Dramatic Physical Change

December 21, 2021

It makes a difference. Wrestling is a lot of things, but ultimately it is a visual medium. The wrestlers have to come up with a way to make the fans stop what they are doing and look at what is in front of them. That is easier said than done, but there are certain tricks that work better than others. Wrestlers can make some changes to improve their appearance, which was the case for a certain top WWE star for a very specific reason. Drew McIntyre was recently interviewed by the Daily Record and spoke about the change in his appearance. McIntyre said that he didn’t believe someone who looked like he did could beat Brock Lesnar, so he began putting in the extra work to make it believable. This included training and adjusting his diet, with McIntyre saying the latter is the far more important of the two. McIntyre would defeat Lesnar to win the WWE Title in the main event of WrestleMania 36. McIntyre was on to something. Check out what he did with his new look: [This post contains video..

AJ Styles: Well, first and foremost you got to look the part. If you’re in the ring, obviously your shirt is off, you got to look like you could beat somebody up. But the problem is trying to get there. There was a time where young AJ Styles tried to lift 95 and it bounced off his chest because he didn’t know how heavy it was.

Talk is Jericho Recap w/ Big Show – Working Live Events vs. TV Tapings, Struggles After Arriving in WWE, Working with Hogan/Savage/Undertaker, More!

June 15, 2017

Jericho welcomes Big Show to the show.Show informs that he has lost 90 lbs as of this date. For years he was the biggest guy everywhere he went, and he made big guys look small when he entered the ring with them. It was his gimmick, and he enjoyed it very much. Now that he’s at the end of the career, he doesn’t need that feeling anymore and he knew it was time for him to make a change.He says his motivation to lose weight came as a result of a conversation with <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/johncena" title="John Cena">John Cena</a>. He and Cena were jokingly taking jabs at one another one day and as he often did, Show was making fun of Cena’s body in the sense that he <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/lives/" title="lives">lives</a> and eats right but he’s eventually going to die anyway. Show then made the comment, “Who’d want to see a giant with abs?” Cena looked at him and said, “Who wouldn’t want to see a giant with abs?” This angered Show, and he left that conversation very motivated.He says that he dropped weight before in the past, but it was never really as a result of a positive change in his diet. He’s very <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/proud/" title="proud">proud</a> of this weight loss because he has completely changed his diet and has stuck to his plan. It’s amazing to him how many of his co-workers and fans he has motivated through this weight loss, and that’s something that he’s very proud of.

Jinder Mahal Says Nobody Sees The Work He’s Putting In

June 2, 2017

Jinder Mahal recently spoke with <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/jinder-mahal-wwe-real-life-diet" rel="nofollow" target="new">GQ</a>. Here are highlights from the interview:His go-to fast food restaurant: “You can actually eat very clean at Chipotle. They have <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/white/" title="white">white</a> rice, they have <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/brown/" title="brown">brown</a> rice, and they have chicken. I stay away from the guac and the sour cream. I just get lettuce, double-meat chicken, and a white or brown rice. Sometimes you don’t realize how bad you feel from just eating out all the time at fast food places. I haven’t eaten McDonald’s or any other fast food in I don’t know how long. Not even pizza.”Which supplements he takes: “I actually take quite a few supplements. I have protein with me all the time. I always have branched-chain amino acids. I take those with water before my morning cardio. They prevent muscle breakdown. I take a magnesium supplement before my workout because it prevents cramping. You know, I have to wrestle every night and I have to train so hard—sometimes I’ll work out and then later on I feel my back starting to cramp up. So magnesium helps a lot with that. I take multivitamin packs. There’s like 10 different multivitamins and digestive enzymes all in one little packet. I take one packet of those every morning. I take creatine and a pre-workout before I work out. And I always switch my pre-workout. Every bottle I finish, I get a different one so my body never gets used to it.”Instagram post responding to fans thinking he’s on PEDs: “I don’t think people realize the hard work that goes into it. Nobody sees the work I’m putting in the gym. Nobody sees me <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/doing/" title="doing">doing</a> cardio first thing in the morning. Nobody sees me lugging around that suitcase. And just generally, people don’t have that much knowledge about diet and the effects that diet alone can have on your body. If you see a bodybuilder before they’re in competition shape to when they get into competition shape, that’s all dieting, carb cutting, and macronutrients. I mean, you can totally transform yourself just by cutting carbs and even something as simple as drinking a gallon of water a day. The average person—like, 90 percent of the average population—is dehydrated. That’s another thing that I do now, which has been a huge key.”

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane and Glenn Gilbertti (Disco Inferno).Russo asks Gilbertti about the ongoing criticism towards Jinder Mahal by some wrestling fans, who accuse him of taking steroids. Gilbertti informs that he has tried steroids in the past and from his experience, it’s entirely possible to look the way Mahal does without taking steroids. With a lot of hard work in the gym and a good diet you can achieve a physique such as Mahal’s.Lane informs that IMPACT Wrestling and Ed Nordholm are discussing bringing <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/billy/" title="Billy">Billy</a> Corgan back into the fold, to help mediate the discussions between the promotion and Matt Hardy. The thought is that Corgan can be of some <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/value/" title="value">value</a> when it <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/comes/" title="comes">comes</a> to bridging the gap between all the parties concerning the Broken Universe.Russo says that Nordholm has far too many distractions right now, and his recent memo to wrestling media is a prime example of this. In this memo, Nordholm made public various private conversations between himself and Matt Hardy in an attempt to prove that he has been telling the truth. Russo says that Nordholm should be more focused on trying to revive IMPACT’s on-air product.

May 15, 2017

While speaking to <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/interview-jinder-mahals-speaks-about-his-main-event" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pratyay Gosh</a>, Jinder Mahal talked about how he was able to get into his current physical shape and revealed that consistency is the secret:“The secret is consistency. I literally haven’t had a cheat meal in 3-4 months. I haven’t eaten anything I shouldn’t have. Even now, on the tour, I have my cooling bag with me and I carry 5 meals with me so that I eat every 2 <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/hours/" title="hours">hours</a>. I eat 30/40 grammes of carbohydrates, 30/40 grammes of proteins with every meal. Then there’s cardio 6 days a week and weight training 6 days a week. I also became straight-edge. I also do a lot of Olympic compound movements. Then there are lots of basic squats, lots of push-ups and other exercises. Overall, from diet to exercise, I’m seeing good results. I’m <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/going/" title="going">going</a> to keep getting in better shape because not only do I look better but I feel better. I feel better inside the ring in <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/terms/" title="terms">terms</a> of stamina and endurance, which is important if I want to become WWE Champion and have long matches every night.”While Mahal has denied steroid use in multiple interviews, Dave Meltzer noted back in January that he believes the WWE Superstar is juicing. He made the following remarks after an episode of RAW, where Mahal appeared way bigger than he previously did:“Jinder Mahal then came out and my God! Jinder Mahal’s traps have grown incredibly. He’s shredded. He looks like, I mean … anyway, Jinder Mahal has changed his physique completely in like a couple weeks. And he’s got acne all over his back.”Meltzer continued, “He is what he is and if this was USADA (the United States Anti-Doping Agency), he would probably be in trouble.”
