Didn't know WWE and UFC had merged.

The guy has had a phenomenal physique into his 70s. I do not follow wrestling that closely. Does he have strong legs and calves? Are there any posing trunk type photos of him? Obviously he is too busy to care about competing in bodybuilding, but just wondering.

Owned by the same company, Endeavor.

Saw videos of him squatting in his later years. My guess is that he went too heavy for too long ala Ronnie and fucked up his back.

I would think he would have avoided squats seeing how he tore both quads at once.

He’s crazy. At 70 he was still squatting heavy.

“The specific type of surgery that McMahon had is not known, but it is likely that he had a spinal fusion or disc replacement. These are two common procedures that are used to treat spinal problems.”

He had been using a belt squat for the last couple of years.

I’ve come to the conclusion that once you’re over 50,  your best bet is bodyweight squats. If you want you can pre exhaust your quads with leg extensions but having a loaded up bar across your back/neck isn’t doing you any favors.

Vince broke his coccyx in a motorcycle accident in the early 90s(I think), then starting taking crazy bumps in his 50s in the late 90s.

Jump ahead to about 35 second in this video and see that HUGE bump he took off the cage against Stone Cold:



Then watch his head/neck on the next one where he gets thrown out of the ring by Chyna.

Dude was a fuckin lunatic.  Also had the best developed back in the history of wrestling.

Shit, at 37 I had a neurosurgeon tell me in a hospital that I have no business ever putting a barbell on my shoulders again.

After 35 bodyweight squats are king.

The problem with leg extensions is they put huge amounts of pressure on a very small surface area on the cartilage behind the kneecap.

Like all exercises people go too heavy. Personally, i don’t do them anymore but it’s an exercise meant for light weights.
