Texas Quad Queen - Marissa Howell

How do you get the nick name "Texas Quad Queen?" Certainly not over night or shying away from the gym even when you dont love it anymore...
Marissa Howell has admittedly lost weight and gained it all back and has done the same with motivation and momentum in the gym.
Here Marissa takes us through her leg workout and tells us how she navigated her goals and leaned into her WHY when things got tough.

She shows that women have incredible leg strength.10 yrs ago here in Fl I trained a 40 yr old Haitian women that use to do leg extensions with the whole stack,250 lbs.She could leg press with 13 plates.I tried to get her to compete but she wouldn't.She got me in the best shape of my life just trying to keep up with her.Thankyou Katherine.

[@henrycooper4213]

Incredible leg strength compared to who? Other women? Men have over 40% more leg strength then women and over 300% upper body strength.

Her strength comes from hormones. Look at her face

[@nandorertl6490]

@@m19y29 of course not her skin, voice, receding hair, etc. everything reveals

[@IgnatiousMaximus-rz6xb]

Get a brain compared to other women! Men have more muscle, more blood and bone density than woman, and for the record home girl is definitely over training

First minute of this was LIFE!!!!!

[@SirRobinson510]

I’m just talking to my wife about how the ladies have helped me with leg days 😂😂😂 And I love leg day, always been my strong point, bench press is meh, leg press is on Thor mode. I was watching her feet, I’m trying to get better with my feet when pressing and squatting. I appreciate this video, she gave me insight on the mentality. It’s tough for the best of us, she’s definitely one of the best, but it’s about what you really want to do, you’ll get through it if you want. This was perfect for me today… Leg Day❤

[@GASPOfficial]

We’re so happy to hear this! Glad you found some motivation and inspiration in this video to improve your lift and keep growing! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@prescottosegie]

🔥🔥🔥🔥I love this the hustle and passion that Marissa has for lifting weights is really good keep up the good work 💪🏾😎

[@rorypaisley35]

[@MrKernkraft4000]

crazy workout routine

[@GASPOfficial]

Exactly! Feel the burn 🔥💪🏼

[@KYLE_FROM_THE_FUTURE]

There’s some really good and recent studies on “maintaining” rather than bulk/cut methods. You get to see the “sculpted clay” year-round. What’s your thoughts on bulk/cut? Absolutely necessary?

[@barryhowell8992]

Yep. 3 hours in the gym on leg day absolutely flies by. My workouts are at least 2 hours each day and I love being in there. If I'm not pumped and exhausted at the end, I feel like I didn't do myself justice. I'm 6'3" and my legs are strong but hard to build size because they're so long. My upper body is chiseled tho. I get girls half my age all the time until they find out I'm old enough to be their DAD, and then the conversation immediately comes to an abrupt halt. They'd all rather be abused, cheated on, disrespected, and lied to by a guy their own age than be treated like a queen by a 52 year old.

[@GASPOfficial]

Wow beautiful Legs. Very impressive. How does someone get Quads like that ? I’m struggling to build Legs

[@brianpalmer4643]

Pick a couple lifts and do them hard 2-3 times a week for 6 weeks. Nothing fancy. You'll be surprised. It almost doesn't matter what lifts. You'll get results.

[@AJ-nj3un]

Determination is the No. 1 ingredient to success. Amazing stuff

[@GASPOfficial]

You got that 💯 right! Determination, discipline, consistency…

[@tikewhite1044]

At 51.... as i look back on my life at 32 years of age.... My lifetime friend & i hit the gym on a sunday to work quads & calf's. He squatted 225 for 4 sets of 10 reps. I squatted 275 for 5 sets of 10 reps. I haven't squatted in 19 years; and would definitely have to work my way up to that weight. My knees would probably tell me to f*ck off in regard to me bottoming out on every repetition. This young diva is phenomenal!!! i couldn't hope to match her lower body strength; regardless of the journey. SHE'S NATURAL!!!; and i feel good knowing that she is. i believe she has THEE STRONGEST quadriceps in North America. ♠️THE VANITY ADDICT♠️
