To preface this entire article, I’m just going to throw out the elephant in the room and get it over with, and that’s the fact that this article is going to rub some people the wrong way. Is that my intent? No. Do I respect their opinion as much as I hope they would support mine? Yes. But there are things I believe need to be said and thrown out there to start some dialog regarding the direction of bodybuilding and the IFBB.
So, to kick things off on a brighter note, I congratulate the IFBB on securing a deal with MIT45 and Uprising Extracts — good for all parties involved. The fact that an additional $210,000 is now going into the pockets of competitors is amazing.
