All tag results for 'bench press'

Well, we're not exactly sure if they're buddies — but we do know they were both spotted leaving the gym in Studio City!

Check out the pics above for the proof… proof that both Rose McGowan and Nicole Richie are in fantastic shape, too!

We wonder if they spot each other while adding stacks of 50 on the bench press…

Yeah, we're sure they do! Ha!

OMG! This is so cute!

Meet 10-year-old fitness prodigy, C.J. Senter, a.k.a. The Workout Kid!

The unusually ripped 4th grader gives celebrity trainer Shaun T., host of the Insanity Workout, a run for his money as he hosts his own series of workout videos made just for kids.

He's not just a cute face either — he's the real athletic deal!

C.J. workouts three times a week on his own after school homework, then even teaches older kids during a fitness class at his local gym.

The young running back aspires to make it to the NFL and has already been named MVP for the state of Georgia in the an 8-and-under football league.

The young trainer, who eats "everything", is pretty knowledgeable too!

Research shows that kids shouldn't begin weight training until they're 15-years-old, but you don't have to tell C.J.! "I don't bench press. It's not good for kids, " he explained after insisting he doesn't use weights to stay in shape.

We're so impressed! Watch his Workout Kid video above and you will be too!

Stafon Johnson, a former USC running back is filing a lawsuit against USC over a weightlifting accident that almost killed him. He claims that the weightlifting coach recklessly hit the bench press bar, causing it to crush his neck.

Johnson says he was benching 275 pounds when the assistant strength coach, Jamie Yanchar, struck the bar that Johnson was lifting, causing it to slip out of his hands and onto his neck. The accident ended Johnson’s college career.

According to the suit filed, Yanchar's "negligent, careless and reckless" action in striking the bar "substantially increased the risk inherent in Mr. Johnson's bench pressing."

USC has since released a statement saying, "USC firmly believes it was not at fault in Stafon Johnson's unfortunate weightlifting accident. We are sorry that Stafon was injured."

Ugh, this is going to get ugly in court!
