This is why good spotters are helpful. Sometimes you push yourself to the limit. It happens to all of us. It’s the goal. But for an exercise like the bench press – this can lead to being pinned under the bar. Or in this specific instance… with a bar slamming straight down on your face. Check it out above.

So, it’s finally happening and the combat world has been flipped on its head. Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather are set to do battle on August 26, 2017. A number of different opinions have already come out in regards to the coming boxing match. Some believe Conor McGregor has absolutely no right to even step into the ring with Floyd Mayweather. Others believe the match up is a disgrace to boxing.
The truth is that whether you love or hate the match up, it’s still a bout that people will want to see out of pure curiosity and the spectacle it provides. Detractors and fans of this match up will indeed have something to take away in the match up this unprecedented.
Despite the hype however, the odds makers are already chiming in and giving Conor McGregor no chance to best one of the greatest boxers of all time. It’s not without reason. Mayweather has mastered the ability of throwing his hands while McGregor has spent a predominant amount of time sharpening all of his fighting skills.
What do the odds makers think about this match up? Well, it appears that while McGregor was considered a hypothetical 10-1 underdog against Mayweather when the bout was originally rumored, the line has lowered all the way down to 4-1. That seems like pure madness to me, but you never know, McGregor could get a mind boggling upset and make some people pretty rich in the process.
What do you think the odds should be for the Floyd Mayweather/Conor McGregor showdown?

While he may have had several surgeries and is still battling constant pain, eight time Olympia winner Ronnie Coleman is still looking to get himself into optimal condition. Bodybuilding has taken its toll on his body and has left him broken, yet Ronnie Coleman is still consistently hitting the gym in the effort to return to some semblance of his old form.
Now, that’s not to suggest that Ronnie Coleman is going to make some kind of dramatic comeback, but it does raise the question as to how far the legend can push his body without doing serious harm. With another surgery on the horizon, with months of rehab and recovery ahead of him, Ronnie Coleman is still choosing to train hard and push his body.
Below is a training video of the great Olympia champion pushing himself to the limit and looking to make some solid gains before once again going under the knife.
What do you think of Ronnie Coleman still training after so many surgeries?
