Stephanie McMahon Talks About How She Got Into The Best Shape Of Her Life

WWE executive Stephanie McMahon recently interviewed by bodybuilding website RXMuscle.com and says she’s in the best shape of her life. Aside from her own hard work, Stephanie credits progress to the help of renowned strength and conditioning coach Joe DeFranco and nutritionist Dave Palumbo.

“Literally the day I came home from the hospital after having my second daughter I started on [Dave Palumbo’s] nutrition program. I gained 80lb with my first pregnancy and that was such a struggle to get the weight off. I gained another 60 pounds during the next pregnancy. I knew I had to work my butt off to get back in shape.”

 

“I can honestly tell you, at 36 years old and after having 3 kids, I’m in the best shape of my life. And the best part is that I keep getting stronger.”

Stephanie explains that gaining a lot of weight during her pregnancies, she’s no stranger to exercise:

“I’ve done all kinds of training in my life. I started working out when I was 12 years old learning from my dad and brother. I’ve done the typical bodybuilding split with Chest/Shoulders/Triceps on day 1, Back and Biceps on Day 2, and Legs on Day 3. But I was just doing too much and found myself overtraining. I’ve been working with Joe [DeFranco] for about 18 months. He comes out to the house and puts me through a fast paced functional workout. He likes to have me train in positions with different kinds of weight loads that keep me off balance, forcing me to really use my core.” McMahon said.

DeFrankco, who trains Stephanie twice a week and also works with Triple H, said this about Stephanie’s progress:

“Steph’s body has gone through a major transformation since we started training together. Old wrestling injuries, childhood dance, and being a mother of three created some negative adaptations in her body, which resulted in shoulder, hip, knee and ankle problems. Because of this, my top priority was to get her body functioning and feeling better. To accomplish this, I started training her like an athlete. The goal was to get her body working as a whole, as opposed to separate parts. The program I designed for Steph, coupled with her consistent hard work and attention to detail, have been a recipe for success. She can now train without limitations, while also being stronger and leaner!”

During a recent interview with WWE Magazine, former World Heavyweight champion talks about why he became a babyface:

“It was the WWE Universe who put me in this position. They wanted to see me as a good guy, so I want to do whatever they want because, at the end of the day, we’re here for them. It actually has nothing to do with my old name. I was using the “Dos Caras” name to pay tribute to my father because that was the name my father used for years and years all over the world. So no — it doesn’t have anything to do with my personality.”

He also was also asked if he’ll ever wrestle in a mask again:

“I don’t think that’s going to happen in WWE. Maybe someday when the WWE Universe decides that it’s time for Alberto Del Rio to retire. Maybe, and this is just maybe, I will do my last match in WWE, and then I will go to Mexico to contest one more match in my homeland, and then after that I will retire and spend time with my family and give back to my community and my family, something after all these years in the ring.”

Word going around backstage at Monday’s RAW was that the late Paul Bearer is the first name locked in for the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame.

Now the discussion is shifting to who will induct Paul Bearer – with virtually everybody suggesting that he should be inducted by The Undertaker. The Dead Man never  appears at the Hall of Fame ceremonies (because he is very protective of his character) – but is expected to induct his close friend.  Another name brought up for Bearer’s inductor is Michael “PS” Hayes.

With Paul Bearer getting inducted next year – it seems highly unlikely that WWE will induct another (equally deserving) deceased performer, Randy Savage.
