The Biggest Loser Couples Season 7, Episode 4 Video Recap with Pete Thomas

The Biggest Loser Couples Season 7, Episode 4 Video Recap with Pete Thomas

Ok, last night the group was working on being reunited with the partner that went home. Looking back, the 1st week all the teams split up and one member went home while the other member stayed at the ranch. The group that was at the ranch had Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels as trainers to whip their bodies back in shape. All of those that went home had to work out with the same effort as those on the ranch.

The Biggest Loser Couples Season 7, Episode 3 Video Recap with Pete Thomas

The one thing that got most of the rest of the players was the temptation this week, where each person was offered pizza, fried chicken nuggets, tacos and cupcakes to consume. The players at home were given the same challenge and the team that devoured the most calories was offered a trip back home to workout with their partner trained by Bob Harper. Well, Mandi ate a piece of pizza to try to get home and see her kids. All the other teams at the ranch ate nothing. The game switches to the player at home and Sione of the blue team pounded down two pieces of pizza and a cupcake to take the lead. Now Joelle’s partner Carla ate over 2000 calories of junk food and they won the challenge. Bob went to Detroit and trained both of the gray team. While there Carla gave a ton of attitude and challenged Joelle that she just wasn’t doing her part. From my point, she doesn’t seem motivated enough for the show.

Take My Nautilus Free-Weight Squat/Bench/Pulldown Rack

Up for grabs is my Nautilus squat/bench/pulldown machine combo rack. I don’t really know the name of it, but it’s made by Nautilus. Ever since my wife bought me a power rack, I have not utilized the Nautilus. I’ve tried selling it on craigslist and giving it away to family, but no one comes to [...]

The Biggest Loser Couples Season 7, Episode 2 Video Recap with Pete Thomas

This week on The Biggest Loser the whole group was challenged by some mind games. Last week you remember that the contestants were split up where one team member stayed and the other went home. The group that went home didn’t have the luxury of just kicking back while the teammate that stayed had to workout. No, each one had to work hard at home because there was a chance that they get back after 30 days. You could see right away that some took this as a very important part of the experience and decided to get busy right away. Others when home and fell into the same trap even while the cameras were still rolling.

Get BACK to Basics…with Pull-Ups

There is no place worth going that requires a shortcut.
–Anonymous
Most everyone agrees that a wide, thick back will form an aesthetic, 3-dimensional type of physique that will turn heads. And yet, the back remains one of the most neglected male body parts.
Nothing beats the deadlift when it comes to thickening the back, but I want [...]
