The key to professional wrestling, according to David Arquette, is learning how to take a hit. Which is almost too perfect a metaphor for his wrestling careera fighter who just cant figure out how to go down smoothly. In 2000, Arquette first entered the ring as a publicity stunt to promote a buddy comedy called Ready to Rumble. Less than two weeks later, he found out he was booked to win the heavyweight championship, which he knew would irritate serious fans. Sure enough, ever since he thrust that WCW belt into the air, a pair of low-rise leather pants clinging to his waist and his bruised eyes glazed over in a stupefied grin, hes been ridiculed by fans as one of the biggest punks wrestling has ever seen.

In reality, Arquette says, he had all the respect in the world for wrestling. And so, in an effort to redeem himself in the eyes of a fan base that credits him with tanking the WCW and degrading the integrity of the entire business and fresh off a heart attack that earned him two stents the 46-year-old decided he was getting back in the ring. This time, he would do it right: He headed to Tulum to do yoga with Diamond Dallas Page, then to Tijuana to fight with the Mexican luchadores. He picked up boxing and jiu-jitsu to learn the instincts he needed. By the time he hit the independent circuit, he was fifty pounds lighter and completely sober.

Arquettes few months back in the ring are chronicled in his new documentary, You Cannot Kill David Arquette, which was set to premiere at SXSW and will now come out in drive-in theaters this Friday. The film culminates in a gory November death match where, after taking a smashed light tube at the wrong angle, Arquette stumbles out of the ring with blood gushing from his neckonly to climb back in and finish up the match once he figures out hes not about to bleed out. The incident put his wrestling career on pause while he recovered, and it brought up another wave of backlash from fans who still saw a half-cocked actor nearly dying because he got in way over his head.

Story continues

But for Arquette, the minutes he spent thinking he was about to die made him all the more dedicated to learning how to wrestle wellafter all, if hed known how to take that hit, his neck would have stayed intact. Ahead of the documentarys release, Arquette told GQ how he prepared for his shot at wrestling redemption.

For Real-Life Diet, GQ talks to athletes, celebrities, and everyone in between about their diet, exercise routines, and pursuit of wellness. Keep in mind that what works for them might not necessarily be healthy for you.

When you first entered the ring in 2000, had you trained at all?

I didn't have an opportunity to train. My run there was just a storyline, they didn't really want me involved. I heard there was a big insurance policy on me, so I couldn't get hurt. That also led me to want to properly train and learn how to wrestle so I could do it in the future. I wasn't in great shape back then, to be honest.

And then in 2018, you got serious about returning to wrestling with the proper training. Where did you start?

I started out doing DDPY, which is Diamond Dallas Page's yoga app. It got me ready to start losing weight. It's a form of yoga that involves tensing your muscles up a lot. He's a really inspirational guy. He inspired me as a wrestler, but he also inspired me to get in shape. I went to a retreat he had in Tulum, and I met with him and he inspired me more there.

Then I trained jiu-jitsu with Rigan Machado, an amazing jiu-jitsu champion. I trained with a multi-championship boxer named Ricky Quiles. And then I trained with Peter Avalon, as a wrestler. I did each at least once a week for an hour or two, but wrestling, I probably did two or three times a week.

So, that's tons of cardio. I got into weights too, every day. I don't do heavy weights, I do about a 35 pound barbell. I don't typically work out my legs because I have big legs to start with. I do squats and a lot of bench stuff, lot of curls, lot of pushups, a lot of sit-ups. But Im consistent. And I did a hike every day.

What was the actual wrestling training like?

There's a lot to learn when you really study wrestling. A lot of it's falling in a way that you're not going to hurt yourself, getting your body accustomed to hitting the mat often. Learning how to take hits so you can protect yourself is an instinct rather than something planned. When you get hit, you have to throw yourself back on the mat and you're supposed to distribute the impact in different parts of your body so you don't take it all on your back. Tucking your chin's a big part of taking a bump in wrestling.

The muscles in your eyes also need to adjust to this new dynamic where your eyes are going to be moving around a lot. Before they do that, you'll get dizzy. It takes repetition, rolling over and over.

As you gain more experience, do you find it easier to tap into the right instincts, even when they come as a surprise?

Yeah. It also really matters who your opponent is. When you wrestle with legends, they make it so easy. One time, I threw my arm the wrong way on Colt Cabana and he readjusted it within a split second, right as the move was happening. These guys, they'll hit you and it'll look like he just killed you, but you'll barely feel it. It's like working with a really skilled actor. They make you look good, you make them look good, you're working in a dance together.

How did you change your eating habits in conjunction with all this training?

I eliminated carbs completely. Id avoid having big dinners, instead having smaller meals throughout the day, and making lunch or breakfast the biggest of those meals, something on the earlier side of the day so that you burn it all off by the time you go to bed. I tried to not eat within three hours of going to bed, and if I did have to eat, I had something like egg whites or celery.

I think of the ideal wrestlers body as much more bulky than lean, but it sounds like your main priority was taking weight off. Were there particular muscles you needed to bulk up to wrestle?

In wrestling, you want to have muscles, you want your muscle mass. But one of my favorite figures out there, sports figures or athletic figures, is Bruce Lee. And Bruce Lee isn't known as being incredibly muscular. He's incredibly lean, and that's the sort of look that I was going for. To put on muscle, right after your workout, I would eat some protein immediately within the first half hour. I drank bone marrow protein shakes, which give you a lot of nutrients.

You Cannot Kill David Arquette, 2020.

After your big public return match with RJ City, you had a pretty exciting run on the independent circuit. Once youre fighting frequently in matches, are you keeping up the same fitness routine?

You spend a lot of time in the ring, training and then actually fighting. So you get a lot of cardio there. You end up mainly focusing on trying to hit the weights and do your daily routines. You have to figure it out even if you don't have a gym. DDPY comes in handy because you can find a workout by just opening your phone.

I didnt book myself like wrestlers truly do, where they go out on the road and do, like, four matches a week. I did one or two matches a month. I was doing a film in upstate New York, so on the weekends Id sneak off and do a wrestling show. People freak out on a movie if you talk about doing a wrestling match

Lets talk about those risks more. Even before your death match, the film captures you suffering some pretty hefty injuries. Are those just inevitable side effects of wrestling, or can you learn to avoid them?

I fractured three ribs in Tijuana, and I also had to remove a bursa from my elbow, which got infected from just all these rolls. There's all these little tricks along the way you learn. When you're jumping, you do a crossbody, so your body's going into everyone in the least dangerous way. The way I jumped in Tijuana, it was straight on top of everyone, which is probably the most dangerous way for me and for them. When you do crossbody, you learn your arm can catch their shoulder and help break the fall, and I can get my legs down quick enough so it helps the impact.

There's also this element with wrestling that if you dont really commit, you land right on your head. You can't second-guess yourself, or you're going to half-ass it and probably hurt yourself or them. So it's a matter of having that trust in yourself. Theres a bunch of matches I did that are pretty embarrassing because it's me learning how to do all this stuff in front of a camera.

During your death match with Nick Gage, when that shard slices your neck open, you jump out of the ring to basically figure out whether youre about to die or not. Do you make those decisions on a smaller scale in most matcheswhether its safe to keep fighting or you need immediate care?

Thats exactly what I was doing. But you are making calculations throughout every match, for sure. Time speeds up in a wrestling ring, so you need to slow it down. When you're beginning, you rush everything, and that can botch a move.

I learned a really solid lesson in that death match, and that's always stick to the plan. It was my fault that I got stabbed in the neck. I pulled his legs when I wasn't supposed to. Also, I'll never fight with glass again. I was in over my head.

I did a lot of self-exploration after that match. I realized I'd been beating myself up my whole life in one way or another. I found a way, through a lot of therapy and working with different doctors including a holistic psychiatrist who got me on some natural medications, to be more positive toward myself.

Theres a scene in the documentary where you get a ketamine infusion treatment, which is a pretty new but potentially life-changing treatment for all kinds of serious mental illness. Are you still getting those treatments?

You Cannot Kill David Arquette, 2020.

It's a little bit tricky because if you have addiction issues like I have, you have to be really careful with it. I can get addicted to almost anything. The infusions they did were pretty high dosage. It's supposed to reset your neurotransmitters and balance you out. I did those a couple times, and then I started doing a therapy session with a shot of ketamine, which was really helpful. You're awake for it, you can talk, you're communicating with a professional therapist in the room, and that helped a lot.

Outside of treatment, what are the day-to-day habits that help you stay in a positive space?

Meditation is really one of the greatest tools, and retraining your brain to not beat yourself up. Exercise, toothe endorphins you get from exercising or even light meditation or light yoga is really life-transforming.

Not drinking has helped a lot. Through those ketamine treatments I realized a lot of the pain and regret or shame I felt about certain periods in my life where I've done things that I've regretted, all of them were attached to alcohol. So I made a conscious decision not to put myself in that place anymore.

There were a couple moments in the film where I kind of fell off the wagon. I'd get an injury and then you'd have to take the pills because you're in extreme pain, and then you don't want to get hooked on opiates, so you stop. And then I drank too much. So that was a cycle I had to break.

Between the slipperiness of caring for your injuries while staying sober and the way wrestling can lead to beating yourself up, do you think its possible for you to keep wrestling and live a healthy, balanced life?

Absolutely. Sting does it really well. And Jack Perry [son of the late star Luke Perry, a close friend of Arquettes] is an incredible wrestler. Hes never smoked or drank in his life. Its really inspirational to see how he does it.

The 2020 NBA playoff bubble games have been quite an interesting spectacle to witness. With several upsets, multiple 30+ point blowouts, and plenty of intensity, things are getting pretty heated between teams in Orlando.

Kendrick Perkins recently proposed a solution on Twitter, jokingly citing a lack of testosterone as the problem.

Obviously its tough for players to be without their families for so long, and not having women to comfort and fulfill their needs has been a regular topic regarding the restart. In the comment section, multiple players seemed in agreeance with the Fox Sports analyst.

Obviously this was meant more as a joke than anything else, but many think that the league should allow players to bring a visitor with them in the bubble.

This might help their state of mind and may actually lower aggression during the games.

Of course, it also comes with the risk of exposing the players to COVID-19, something that has yet to happen since the playoff began.

All-in-all, its unlikely players will be allowed to have a partner join them in the Orlando quarantine. theyll just have to find a way to cope until the playoffs are over.

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the United States. The World Cancer Research Fund says it is the fourth most commonly occurring cancer across the globe.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation notes that one out of every nine men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Such figures underscore the importance of learning about it. Knowledge of prostate cancer, and its risk factors and symptoms, may help men improve their prognosis if and when they are diagnosed with the disease.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that is responsible for producing seminal fluid. The growth and function of the prostate is controlled by male hormones, including testosterone.

The PCF notes that there usually aren't any early warning signs for prostate cancer. The tumor associated with prostate cancer does not push against anything, even as it grows, so many men with prostate cancer do not experience pain until the cancer has advanced beyond its earliest stages.

According to the PCF, in rare cases prostate cancer can cause symptoms. Some of the more mild symptoms may be mistaken as normal byproducts of aging, and their presence may not necessarily mean a man has prostate cancer. However, the appearance of any of the following symptoms should be discussed with a physician immediately.

A need to urinate frequently, especially at night. Sometimes the need to urinate may be urgent.

The WCRF notes that there is strong evidence to suggest that various factors increase a man's risk of developing prostate cancer. Such factors include:

The PCF notes that there is controversy about the risks and benefits of prostate cancer screening. Men must make their own decisions regarding prostate cancer screening, and such decisions should only be made after discussing the disease and their family histories with their physicians.

Prostate cancer affects millions of men and their families every year. Information about the disease can be found at http://www.pcf.org.

Unexplained weight loss, or losing weight without trying, can be a cause for concern. It might indicate an underlying condition.

A good rule of thumb is to see your doctor if youve lost a significant amount more than 5 percent of your weight within 6 to 12 months. In addition, take note of any other symptoms to talk over with your doctor.

Remember, not all weight loss is serious. It can happen after a life-changing or stressful event. However, unintentional weight loss may be a sign of one of these medical conditions.

Muscle loss, or muscle wasting, can lead to unexpected weight loss. The major symptom is muscle weakness. One of your limbs may even look smaller than the other.

Your body is made of fat mass and fat-free mass, which includes muscle, bone, and water. If you lose muscle, youll lose weight.

This can happen if you dont use muscles for a while. Its most common in people who dont exercise, work desk jobs, or are bedridden. Generally, exercise and proper nutrition will reverse muscle loss.

Other possible causes of muscle loss include:

Hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid, develops when your thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone. These hormones control many functions in the body, including metabolism.

If your thyroid is overactive, youll quickly burn calories even if you have a good appetite. The result can be unintentional weight loss.

Other symptoms include:

Possible causes of hyperthyroidism include:

Treatment of hyperthyroidism depends on your age and severity of your case. Generally, its treated with anti-thyroid medications, radioactive iodine, beta-blockers, or surgery.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack the lining of your joints, leading to inflammation. Chronic inflammation can speed up metabolism and reduce overall weight.

Symptoms of RA include joint swelling and pain. It usually affects the same joints on both sides of your body. If you have RA, your joints might feel stiff if you dont move for an hour or more.

The exact cause of RA is unknown. It may be linked to:

Treatment of RA typically begins with medication. Medications include disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, corticosteroids, biologics, and Janus associated kinase inhibitors.

Another cause of unwanted weight loss is type 1 diabetes. If you have type 1 diabetes, your immune system attacks cells in your pancreas that make insulin. Without insulin, your body cant use glucose for energy. This causes high blood glucose.

Your kidneys remove unused glucose through urine. As sugar leaves your body, so do calories.

Type 1 diabetes also causes:

Treatment of type 1 diabetes includes insulin, blood sugar monitoring, diet modifications, and exercise.

Weight loss may be a side effect of depression, which is defined as feeling sad, lost, or empty for at least two weeks. These emotions interfere with daily activities, such as going to work or school.

Depression affects the same parts of the brain that control appetite. This can lead to poor appetite, and eventually, weight loss.

In some people, depression may increase appetite. The symptoms vary from person to person. Other symptoms of depression include:

Behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, and antidepressants are used to treat depression.

Unexpected weight loss may be a symptom of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a term that encompasses several chronic inflammatory disorders of the digestive tract. The two most common types are Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis.

The chronic inflammation of IBD puts your body in a catabolic state, which means that its constantly using up energy.

IBD also disrupts ghrelin, the hunger hormone, and leptin, the satiety hormone. This results in decreased appetite and weight loss.

Additional symptoms include:

These symptoms are triggered by certain foods. If you have IBD, you might be hesitant to eat. Treatment of IBD usually consists of nutritional support, medication, and in some cases, surgery.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease. This includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Many people with COPD have both.

Emphysema slowly damages the air sacs in your lungs, making it hard to breathe. Chronic bronchitis causes inflammation of the airways that bring air to your lungs. This produces mucus, coughing, and breathing issues.

Early COPD is mild. Some people may not show symptoms but those that may appear include:

In later stages, COPD can cause weight loss. Labored breathing burns a lot of calories. According to Cleveland Clinic, a person with COPD may need 10 more times more calories to breathe than a person without COPD. It can also feel uncomfortable to eat and breathe at the same time.

Symptoms of severe COPD also include:

The main cause of COPD is cigarette smoking. Long-term exposure to irritants such as air pollution and dust can also lead to COPD. Treatment includes medications, such as bronchodilators, and lung therapies, like oxygen therapy.

Endocarditis causes inflammation of your hearts inner lining, or endocardium. It develops when germs usually bacteria enter the bloodstream and collect in your heart.

Most people with endocarditis have a fever. This may come along with a poor appetite. Elevated body temperature also increases metabolism and burns fat, causing weight loss.

Other symptoms include:

Endocarditis is rare in healthy hearts. Its more likely to affect people with damaged heart valves, artificial heart valves, or congenital heart defects. Treatment of endocarditis includes antibiotics and surgery.

Another cause of unexplained weight loss is tuberculosis (TB), a contagious condition that usually affects the lungs. Its caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. Weight loss and decreased appetite are major symptoms of TB, but the reasons arent fully understood.

TB spreads through the air. You can catch TB without getting sick. If your immune system can fight it, the bacteria will become inactive. This is called latent TB.

Over time, it can turn into active TB. Symptoms include:

Some people are at risk for active TB. This includes people with weak immune systems, especially those who have:

TB is typically treated with a course of antibiotics for six to nine months.

Cancer is the general term for diseases that cause abnormal cells to quickly divide and spread. According to the American Cancer Society, one of the first signs may be unexplained weight loss of 10 pounds or more. This is common with cancers of the pancreas, lung, stomach, and esophagus.

Cancer increases inflammation. This promotes muscle wasting and disrupts appetite-regulating hormones. A growing tumor may also increase your resting energy expenditure (REE), or how much energy your body burns at rest.

Early symptoms of cancer also include:

Many conditions can cause these symptoms. Sometimes, cancer doesnt cause any symptoms.

Treatment depends on the type of cancer. Typical treatments include, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

Addisons disease develops when the immune system attacks the adrenal glands. In turn, the adrenal glands cant make enough hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol regulates many functions, including metabolism and appetite. Low levels of cortisol may lead to poor appetite and weight loss.

Other symptoms of Addisons disease include:

Addisons disease is rare, affecting roughly 1 in 100,000 people in the United States. Treatment includes medications thatll regulate your adrenal gland.

12. HIV | HIV

HIV attacks immune cells called T cells. This makes it difficult to fight infections. If left untreated, HIV can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Advanced forms of these conditions often cause weight loss.

Symptoms like sore throat, mouth sores, and fatigue can make eating uncomfortable. HIV also increase the risk of secondary infections, which increase REE.

Other symptoms of HIV include:

Symptoms of HIV depend on the person and stage of infection. Antiretroviral therapy is used to treat HIV and stop the spread of the virus and may improve weight loss.

Weight loss is a complication of congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF develops when the heart cant fill up with enough blood, the heart cant pump blood with enough force, or both. It may affect one or both sides of the heart.

If you have CHF, your digestive system cant receive enough blood. This can lead to nausea and early fullness. Additionally, it might be hard to breathe while eating.

The inflammation in damaged heart tissue also speeds up metabolism, causing unintentional weight loss.

CHF symptoms also include:

There are several medications used to treat CHF, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics. In some cases, surgery might be necessary.

Compared with women, men have a higher rate of:

Women are at higher risk for COPD. Women are also 2 to 10 times more likely to develop hyperthyroidism and 2 to 3 times more likely to have RA.

Its normal for your body weight to fluctuate. However, if youre losing weight without changing your habits, something else might be going on.

If you experience a 5 percent weight loss in 6 to 12 months, or if you notice any of the above symptoms, visit your doctor.

Unexplained Weight Loss: 13 Causes and Treatment Options

Something that gave me an even greater incentive to write my book, The 21 Day Immunity Plan, was the premature deaths of two family members who suffered and died because of a compromised immune system.

My older brother, Amit, died of a virus that affected his heart at the age of 13. Born with Downs syndrome, his compromised immune system was genetic and there was little that could have been done to prevent his death from crashing heart failure when he caught a tummy bug that most people would have been able to fight off.

The second was my mother, who over the four-week period of her final admission to hospital endured indescribable pain from an infection that affected her spine. Her compromised immune system was almost entirely rooted in lifestyle choices. Because the NHS was already overstretched, a heart attack was missed, treatment was delayed and she gasped for breath as fluid engulfed her lungs. Eventually she slipped into a coma as the infection spread through her body, and she passed away aged only 68.

Beyond my observations as a medical scientist and my duties as a clinical doctor to share knowledge on the link between metabolic health and immunity, I wrote my book from the perspective and motivation of someone who has had to deal with all the emotion and sadness of seeing a close family member die well before their time and in the most horrible of circumstances. No one needs to suffer like she did and no family member should have to witness it.

What Covid-19 has also done is expose areas in our health systems and personal well-being that have long been neglected, and which in themselves have made us more vulnerable to such a particularly pernicious virus. But in spite of the tragedy, the disturbing statistics and heartbreaking stories that have collectively gripped the world, we can draw from the lessons the virus has taught us and look to a brighter future.

The 21-day immunity plan is one that involves nutritious food, helps to regulate and reduce inflammation, combats insulin resistance and improves overall metabolic health. It should be enjoyable and be in keeping with all cultures and personal preferences.

It will help you to:

Over the course of the three weeks, you will follow an eating plan, you will be required to move your body daily, carry out breathing exercises, monitor and improve your sleep habits and be seeking to reduce your stress and improve your mental well-being by making a concerted effort to nurture and celebrate time with friends and family.

Please note that if you suffer from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease and more specifically are taking medications, you must consult your doctor before starting the 21-day plan, as medication is likely to need adjusting/reducing and may potentially need to be stopped altogether.

We know that prolonged sitting and being more sedentary in general increases the risk of heartdisease, high bloodpressure and type 2 diabetes.

Regular cardiovascular exercise has the strongest evidence base when it comes to reducing the risk of many diseases. It has even been shown to significantly reduce insulin resistance within three months for those who start off with a sedentary lifestyle, even without weight loss.

Throughout the three weeks of this plan, I want you to go for a brisk walk for at least 30 minutes on five days each week. Subjectively, this is where you feel a bit out of breath to the point youre able to have a conversation but youll find it difficult to sing.

If you want to be very precise, then measuring your heart rateprovides a more objective measure of activity intensity.

You want to aim to get your heart rate within a range of 50 to 70 per cent ofyour maximum, which isrelated to your age. Thereason for this heart-rate range is based on numerous studies which reveal beneficial physiological changes in thebody startto occur once you exerciseat this level, including reduced insulinresistance.

Worlds record holding powerlifter Daniel Bell has had some huge moments so far this year. Now he breaks down what it is that makes him so successful, as well as his diet and training plan and more.

When it comes to powerlifting, few are as naturally powerful as Bell. The man holds world records in several different types of lifting, putting up unbelievable numbers at every turn.Late last year, he scored the biggest wrapped total in history, extending his own previous record, only to follow that up with another achievement by having the biggest total in knee sleeves. The list of accolades and impressive performances goes on for miles.

Interestingly enough, powerlifting was never originally planned for Daniel Bell. As he explained in an interview with FitnessVolt, he actually started going to the gym to lose weight. However when his friends saw the strength he had on the weights, they suggested he tried to powerlift competitively. From here, it was a nearly instant feeling of enjoyment and community, that has kept him coming back again and again.

I knew (powerlifting) was a good niche to fall into, just because everyone was so nice and so welcoming. After my first meet, I definetly had that feeling, where it was like this is where I need to be, these are the people I should surround my life with. It was a big thing for my entire life, all sides of it. I got to climb to the top of the ladder. I put in six years, and its just been such an adventure, and all aspects of my life have just progressed so much.

From the start of his career, Daniel Bell has been able to lift some insane weight. For someone who had only been trying to lose weight, his brain had to flip a switch to a certain extent, in order to fully dedicate to training. To him, this moment of clarity came right after he was able to hit his first 2200lb total.

It was in 2015, I believe, and I went and did a meet out in Columbus, Ohio. That was when I was at the top of the 308lb weight class. When I started out powerlifting I was about 285lb, but my bodyweight has gone up since then, which I projected. I knew that for me to get stronger and be at the top, I would need to get a larger frame on me. But yeah, it was right around the first 2200lb total that it clicked in my head that Ive got a good chance of being the best in the world, not just in the 308 weight class, but in the super heavyweight weight class.

On the other hand, this was not exactly an easy decision for Bell to make. After all, he had begun his journey hoping to lower his bodyweight, but now he was pumping it up. To him, this was a sacrifice that he knew he had to make.

It was like 2014 when I decided to take the plunge, I wanted to get down to 240. I always idolized Arnold (Schwarzenegger), he was 61 and 255 in his prime.

I remember when I made the transition from 308 to super heavyweight, one weekend I cut like 30lb to make 308 for a meet, and I only hit my openers. Then the very next week, I didnt cut and hit 2303lb at super heavyweight. It was one of my first or seconds meets at super heavyweight, and right then I was like I am never cutting weight for a meet again.'

Things have gone well so far, for Daniel Bell, having secured those multiple world records. Of course, that does not happen for him without a ton of training. Here is how he breaks down his weekly training:

For the most part, Daniel puts a large focus on proper recovery. He has had almost no serious injuries in his career, and he attributes this to how serious he takes his recovery. When it comes to heavy lifting, he likes to space out his heavy training weekly, according to his bodys limits. He says that he rarely lifts light weights, with a competition prep of twelve weeks, truly amping things up about eight weeks out.

As far as diet and nutrition is concerned, Bell currently eats around 3200-3500 calories a day, cranking that up to around 4000 when it comes time to bulk up. He says that he has to keep a close eye on his bodyweight, because when it changes too quickly, he feels sluggish and lethargic.

My diets pretty normal. Im not a big red meat guy, but I do like chicken, Bell said. I just put it on the grill, season it a little bit, put some broccoli and rice with it and I have no problems. So I eat that about five or six times a day.

Im pretty big on white rice, because its easy to digest and its complex carbs that my body uses for fuel.

When he is having a cheat day, Daniels wife and mother in law cook up some delicious chicken cutlets or chicken parmesan. However this is a once in a while thing, as he keeps things pretty simple most days.

When Daniel Bell made the decision to try powerlifting, it was because of his knack for being able to move serious weight. This insane strength was something that seemingly always had, but never realized. He explained that when he was growing up, his football coaches would always tell him how strong he was, he just never understood the true extent of it.

All through high school, I had all kinds of football coaches tell me, like youre the strongest kid on the field whether you know it or not. I was training for football, so we would do snatch, and stuff like that. We didnt really deadlift. Actually my first powerlifting meet I bombed out of it because I had no idea how to deadlift. That was when I was like 18 years old, and that was just a locally ran meet, but I didnt have any idea how to deadlift, so I bombed out. Fast forward nine years, and that was when I did my first sanctioned meet, and I think my best deadlift at that one was 750lb.

But yeah, (my strength) has been with me for a while, but Ive always been really athletic my whole life. Like my parents never really pushed me to do any sports, but they always pushed me not to quit.

Growing up, Daniel says he tried his hand at everything from basketball to soccer, and even snowboarding and ice hockey. However he would spend most of the time playing football, where his natural strength could shine. That being said, all of these backgrounds in athletics were able to confer benefits when he moved to powerlifting.

Being successful on the platform does not mean that Daniel Bell has not had any struggles. Yet it seems that his issues are not necessarily related to difficulties with training or competition. Instead he struggles with staying motivated and positive.

Everybodys got their down days, and not every day is a great day when youre training. But if you just keep moving forward, I feel like that mindset will help you in any endeavor. Thats how Ive always tried to look at it, just keep moving forward and keep going. Today may not be the best day, but youve got to go to the next one.

To keep motivated, Daniel will look at his old competition videos. He uses this to remind himself of how far he has come, which helps him feel better about whatever he is struggling with. This combined with keeping up with the people who are coming up and looking to challenge his records is what keeps him humble and hungry.

In terms of the immediate future, Daniel Bell hopes to compete in September. At The Showdown, he will be competing in sleeves. He hopes to have a quick turnaround here, and compete again before the year is out.

Right now (Im looking to compete at) The Showdown, and that ones in sleeves. Thats the one I want to hit 2500lb in. Then have a short little turnaround eight weeks after that and have another contest at the end of November. I really want to try to get 2550-2600lb, somewhere around there.

My plan is to take December off and most of January, and then hop into multi-ply again and get my nose to the grindstone, give that some time and work with that.

It seems like Daniel Bell is highly motivated right now, and looking to do some big things. He is hoping to stay busy, and we are looking forward to seeing it. Be sure to check out the full interview above, and give him a follow on Instagram!
