‘Reacher’ Star Alan Ritchson Employed This ‘Killer’ Arm Working day Workout

When Alan Ritchson was forged as Jack Reacher, the protagonist of Lee Child’s wildly popular sequence of novels, in the new Television present Reacher, he was now in terrific condition. But in purchase to convincingly participate in the big action hero, Ritchon packed on muscle mass for the function, eventually getting about 30 lbs.

My purpose is basically quantity.

To develop individuals Jack(ed) Reacher arms, Ritchson made use of substantial-quantity supersets to mild up his biceps and triceps, beginning with cable tricep pressdowns, supersetted with overhead extensions for 15 to 25 reps. Even now employing the rope but from the bottom this time, Ritchson then performs a hammer curl for 4 sets of 25 reps (or as close to 25 as he can right before achieving failure).

He follows this with dumbbell hammer press (25) and cranium crushers (15 to 25), ahead of choosing up an EZ bar to do “21” curls.

Former Broncos star Demaryius Thomas dies at 33; Pro Bowl wide receiver helped Denver win Super Bowl title

Former Broncos star Demaryius Thomas dies at 33; Pro Bowl wide receiver helped Denver win Super Bowl title

The NFL community lost one of its top players of the 2010s on Thursday, as former Broncos star Demaryius Thomas was found dead in his home at the age of 33, according to a Roswell, Georgia, police report obtained by the Washington Post. Police say preliminary information suggests Thomas’ death stemmed from a medical issue.

LaTonya Bonseigneur, a first cousin who grew up with Thomas, told the Associated Press the family believes he died from a seizure.

Family members were reportedly notified by the Roswell police at about 9 p.m. ET that they had found Thomas in a shower at his home.

“He had been suffering from seizures for over a year, and we believe he had a seizure when he was showering,” Bonseigneur said early Friday. “We’re not sure when he died. We just spoke with him yesterday.”

She added, “He was alone and a friend couldn’t get hold of him, so he called his driver, who has a key because of these seizures, and he went into his home and found him in the shower.”

“The NFL family mourns the tragic loss of Demaryius Thomas and we extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones,” the NFL released in a statement.

We are devastated and completely heartbroken.

Thomas, who last played in 2019, had only officially announced his retirement this June. He finished his 10-year career as one of the most productive wide receivers of his time, most notably as a five-time Pro Bowler and the No. 1 pass-catcher for Denver’s 2015 Super Bowl championship team.

Corey Seager, Rangers agree to 10-year, $325 million contract as star shortstop leaves Dodgers

Corey Seager, Rangers agree to 10-year, 5 million contract as star shortstop leaves Dodgers

Free agent shortstop Corey Seager has agreed to sign with the Texas Rangers, CBS Sports HQ’s Jim Bowden confirmed Monday. Seager, who had spent his entire career with the Dodgers, will be inking a 10-year contract worth $325 million.

Seager is the second massive commitment to a middle infielder the Rangers have made in the last two days. On Sunday, they agreed to terms with Marcus Semien on a seven-year deal worth $175 million. Seager and Semien will, evidently, form Texas’ double-play combination for most of the rest of the decade.

The Rangers have also signed starting pitcher Jon Gray and outfielder Kole Calhoun in recent days as they attempt to overhaul a roster that finished 60-102 last season. The Rangers haven’t made the postseason since 2016. They’ve finished last in three of the last four years, including each of the past two.

Seager, 27, entered the offseason ranked as CBS Sports’ second best free agent. Here’s what we wrote at the time:

Seager can really hit. He had the fourth-highest OPS+ among non-first-base infielders over the past two seasons, trailing only Fernando Tatis Jr., Trea Turner, and José Ramírez. He also ranked in the 80th percentile or better in 2021 in two important categories: 1) percentage of batted balls that had exit velocities above 95 mph, and 2) percentage of batted balls with a launch angle between 10 and 30 degrees. That he was able to post such numbers despite a trigger-happy approach (his swing rate was almost identical to Yermín Mercedes’) is a testament to his feel for contact. If there are areas for reservation with Seager, they concern his past back woes and his long-term defensive position. He tends to struggle coming in on balls, and it’s possible he’ll have to slide to the hot corner sooner

Spencer Rattler enters transfer portal: What’s next as Oklahoma star moves on after losing starting QB job

Spencer Rattler enters transfer portal: What’s next as Oklahoma star moves on after losing starting QB job

Oklahoma lost its coach on Sunday when Lincoln Riley announced that he is taking the USC job, and now it’s lost its opening day starting quarterback and former Heisman favorite. Redshirt sophomore Spencer Rattler announced Monday on Twitter that he has entered the transfer portal. 

“Sooner Nation, thank you for allowing me to be a student-athlete at this prestigious institution,” he wrote. “Thank you to every teammate and coach these last three seasons. We won several games together and made memories that I will cherish forever. Special thanks to my family and friends for your support. Thank God for the game of football. It’s the ultimate team sport and brings people and communities together unlike anything else. At this time, I would like to announce that I have decided to enter the transfer portal to continue my academic and athletic career. Thank you again, Oklahoma. I will miss you.

Rattler threw for 4,595 yards, 40 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in three seasons in Norman. He entered the 2021 season as the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy after throwing for 3,031 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2020 — his first season as the Sooners’ starting quarterback. 

He started the first six games of the season before being benched vs. Texas after poor play. Caleb Williams took over and started the remaining six games under center. 

Rattler was a five-star prospect and the No. 11 overall player in the Class of 2019 out of Pinnacle High School in Phoenix, Arizona. He was named the MVP of the prestigious Elite 11 camp prior to his senior year of high school.

Where could Rattler land? Let’s examine some potential destinations

NBA Star Power Index: LeBron James raining 3-pointers; LaMelo Ball has to have Warriors kicking themselves

NBA Star Power Index: LeBron James raining 3-pointers; LaMelo Ball has to have Warriors kicking themselves

Welcome back to NBA Star Power Index: A weekly gauge of the players who are most controlling the buzz around the league. Inclusion on this list isn’t necessarily a good thing. It simply means you’re capturing the NBA world’s attention. This is also not a ranking. The players listed are in no particular order as it pertains to the buzz they’re generating. This column will run every week throughout the regular season.

The Lakers have gotten out to a sluggish 2-2 start (they survived in OT at San Antonio on Tuesday without LeBron James, who was out with a sore leg), but the good news is LeBron James continues to look like a player capable of carrying a team. James’ 3-point shot is particularly splashy (as is his fadeaway). 

Through three games, James is taking just under 10 3-pointers per game and hitting 48 percent of them. If you’re interested in how the Lakers have played with using Russell Westbrook as a pick-and-roll partner with LeBron, our Sam Quinn provided a good breakdown here.

Do yourself a favor and clear your schedule for as many Hornets games as you can. They are an Indy car, and LaMelo Ball is in the driver’s seat with the throttle pegged. Charlotte has jumped out to a 3-1 start with Ball shooting 50 percent from 3 on eight attempts a night; he’s already made seven 3s in two separate games. 

That kind of shooting was simply not expected from Ball, and certainly not this early. His comfort and confidence bely his experience. When he’s making 3s off the dribble and the catch on top of making passes like this one below, he’s an All-Star level player already. 

People are going to play the premature card, but the Golden State Warriors, though they’re obviously going
