by Matt Weik Following his loss to Shawn Rhoden at the 2018 Mr. Olympia, Phil Heath mentioned that he was once again needing to go under the knife to fix his hernia. This time, he announced that he needs time for his body to heal and doesn’t want to rush back on stage and not only risk doing...

CAN PHIL REGROUP AND COME BACK IN 2019 TO RECAPTURE HIS TITLE? What Should We Expect In 2019 from Phil Heath? As we have seen year after year, it’s extremely difficult to dethrone the Mr. Olympia champ. In all the years, there have only been 14 different winners. Personally, I love the look...

by Matt Weik I’m taking a different approach to what the norm today is and I’d love for everyone to weigh in on my thoughts. Today, most consider a “bodybuilder” as a mass monster. Someone who competes on the competitive stage and has mounds of muscle on their frame. Many would say they are...

by Matt Weik I can only speak from my own experience, but in my opinion, the 2018 Olympia was the best we have seen in a long time. I felt like the judges were 100% fair and accurate, Steve didn’t allow the athletes to get carried away on stage and made them pose when he asked, and we had some...

by Matt Weik It’s difficult to hear that this year might be Flex Lewis’ last year competing in 212. Now, he didn’t completely give insight into what’s next, but many are saying retirement isn’t in the picture. This could really only mean one thing – Flex is looking to make the move into the open...

by Matt Weik There has been some interesting news hitting the bodybuilding world with some new changes to the Mr. Olympia contest held in Las Vegas. With about two months until the show, there is much speculation as to if this will be the year that we see Kai Greene’s return and if Ramy can...

Yes I am old school, Yes, I like things better back in the late 70's, 80's and early 90's. I am not saying that I am correct, just giving my opinion. I remember when diuretics were outlawed after the death of a bodybuilder. I remember when Vince McMahan tried to go head to head with the IFBB...

I was told I should take this in the muscle in my arm instead of the fatty tissue at my stomach. I have been taking somatropin 2 IU's daily and the nutropin was suggested. Any thoughts. I workout some but not heavy duty, I use this as an altenative to taking Parkinsons drugs. I have been on...

by Matt Weik It’s funny. I’ve been thinking about this for a few weeks in my head just for fun and decided to put it on paper. With so many great bodybuilders out there who retired from the sport, who do you think right now could make a comeback if they wanted to? My answer might not be...

As a competitor, you know all too well the amount of time and energy invested in the physique you are about to display on stage. You know the sacrifices involved for the last handful of months, if not longer. The last thing you want to do is something at the last minute to take away from your...

Hype Denial by Cade Thomas When people are faced with a disaster or potential for danger, they are often left with what is called a “normalcy bias”. This phrase refers to the assumption that since everything has been okay up until this...

by Anders JP Eskilsson In recent decades the IFBB has invented new divisions along with a society where new physical ideals are streaming daily through social media. One tribe is the root of it all; on tribe started it all, and one tribe will always be the backbone of the fitness industry...

by Matt Weik Is it just me or are IFBB bodybuilding competitions starting to get stale? There are no rivalries anymore to get us excited to see individuals go head-to-head on stage. I remember when I first got into the bodybuilding scene, you had Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman constantly...
