Mark Hudspeth and his wife can probably bench press more than you

by: Mrs. Tyler Thompson08/31/15@MrsTylerKSR
I'll be honest, I don't know a ton about Mark Hudspeth, but after a day of research, I do know he terrifies me. Louisiana Lafayette's head coach is INTENSE, and he has the Google Image search results to prove it. Hudspeth is considered a rising star in the game, his name even being mentioned during UK's coaching search back in 2012. In four years at Louisiana Lafayette, he has a â€Ž36—16 record, including four straight New Orleans Bowl wins. That's all fine and good, but did you know he can bench press almost 400 lbs.? After hearing Freddie Maggard mention something about it, I decided to look it up, and wow, the videos are enough to make my CrossFit class look like child's play. Here's Hudspeth, now 46, bench pressing 370 lbs. last year: https://youtu.be/C9cX5c-xCCE And here he is in 2013, bench pressing 225 lbs. 25 times, a common test at the NFL Combine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=20&v=F_hSUzKed4Y His wife, Tyla, is also a fitness junkie who runs marathons and competes in body building competitions. Don't believe me? Holy moly. I didn't know there were that many muscles in the back.
