    The Olympia Livestream Will Be FREE!!

    Everyone often says they want to grow the sport of bodybuilding. Some people focus on marketing, others focus on physiques, but I think one of the most important ways to grow it is through accessibility.

    How to Deal with Your Sore Shoulders

    If you’re like me (or even younger), you may suffer from sore shoulders. I’ll be up front and say I’m no spring chicken anymore. Since I’m in my 40s, I’ve had aches and pains kick in. For instance, coaching two baseball teams for my sons has caused some shoulder pain. No matter what you did to...

    Who Are The Olympia Top 10 Hopefuls?

    The Olympia is the Superbowl of Bodybuilding. Whosoever wins this contest in any of the ten divisions offered can say they are the best in the world.

    The Boiled Egg Diet: Does It Really Work?

    If you’re someone who enjoys eggs, the boiled-egg diet might sound pretty appealing, especially if weight loss is your goal. I remember the first time I heard about it and wondered how a diet centered around eggs could actually work. The reality, though, is a bit more complicated. While the...

    Larry Wheels Has Become a Calum Von Moger 2.0

    There was a time when the name Larry Wheels carried serious weight in the strength and bodybuilding world. Whether you loved him or hated him, you couldn’t ignore him. The ridiculous strength. The massive lifts. The freakish physique. The social media presence. Larry Wheels was one of the...

    Military Demanding Human Performance Data

    A few years ago, we saw what I feel was the weakest human performance data from our military. And I’m not picking on any branch in particular (they all sucked, in my opinion). Why?

    It seems what Jay Cutler said recently has stirred up some responses, even from Kai Greene himself. But what Jay said, I’d have to agree with (at least as things stand today). There are some topics in bodybuilding that always seem to create controversy. This is one of them. When Jay Cutler...

    Andrey Smaev Needs to Move on From Sextape Leak

    I feel bad for what happened to Andrey Smaev. But at the same time, he shouldn’t give up social media over a video. Social media can be an amazing place. It can also be one of the most toxic environments on the planet. If the reports surrounding Andrey Smaev are accurate, the bodybuilder has...

    Derek Lunsford Should Be Worried About Olympia

    There’s no denying what Derek Lunsford accomplished last season. Winning the Arnold Classic, Pittsburgh Pro, and Mr. Olympia in the same year is a historic run. Few bodybuilders have ever put together a season like that, and it cemented his place among the sport’s elite. But here’s where I...

    Is Hadi Choopan Ruining His Olympia Prep?

    Let’s just get my opinion out of the way… I think Hadi Choopan is ruining his Olympia prep. That’s my opinion, and I’m sure you have yours. But there’s one thing we can all probably agree on: when it comes to bodybuilding, the answer always seems to be the same. More muscle. Bigger physique...
