Tribute to Multiple IFBB Professional League Champion Jenny Lynn-Powell
Tribute To Multiple IFBB Professional League Champion Jenny Lynn-Powell
It’s always sad when a former NPC or IFBB Professional League athlete passes away and even more so when it is before their time and they are a highly decorated 2-Time IFBB Figure Olympia Champion, 3-Time IFBB Figure International Champion and 2-Time champion of my own IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Figure.
What many people do not know is that Jenny Lynn was the inspiration for us to create FIGURE. Jenny earned her IFBB Pro qualification winning the Overall 2001 NPC USA Fitness Championships! How that came about is we had many NPC and IFBB Pro Fitness athlete’s who scored great in the physique round but truly did not have the skill set to perform a good Fitness Routine. Jenny Lynn was one of them and spoke about it herself and to our officials.
After much discussion, we created the Figure division for the NPC and IFBB Professional League and Jenny went on to win the Very First IFBB Pro Professional League contest, the 2003 IFBB Figure International at the Arnold Sports Festival! The rest, as they say, is history.
Thank You Jenny Lynn-Powell for being a catalyst for the sport and all Figure athletes owe you a debt of gratitude. I personally and the organizations send our heartfelt condolences to your family and friends.
Jim ManionNPC and IFBB Professional League President
Method Man Looks Extra Jacked During Chest and Biceps Training
Rapper and actor Clifford Smith Jr., better known as Method Man, has been pushing his training to new heights recently. He recently trained chest and biceps in the gym is looking like an absolute beast these days.
Method Man has dedicated himself to getting in his best physical condition. This is a version of the rapper we have never seen before, supremely focused to achieve a new level of fitness.
A member of the famous rap group the Wu-Tang Clan, Method Man has always been into maintaining his physique. But the past couple of years have shown that the rapper has been taking his training to the next level.
The hip hop legend has shown a dedication to growing not only his physique but his strength as well. The rapper has recently shown a proficiency and love of deadlifting.
But deadlifting isn’t the only exercise that the Power star has been attacking with gusto. He has also been working on his upper body with a diligence. Recently he looked super jacked while he was training biceps.
But that wasn’t the only upper body training the rapper showcased recently. He also pressed 100lb dumbbells in each hand for reps.
The rap legend is showing no signs of slowing down as he continues on his fitness journey. It’s truly an inspiration to see an individual at an older age still killing it in the gym.
What do you think of Method Man’s recent training?

Zane Watson: The Most Inspirational Bodybuilders Currently Competing
[embedded content]
Zane Watson talks about his future plans and the current bodybuilders that most inspire him.
Legends never die – which is why most athletes will list bodybuilding greats such as Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates, and Lee Haney in their list of most influential bodybuilders. It’s for good reason. But as these athletes recede further into the past, new athletes rise up to inspire a new generation. Zane Watson is a relatively young bodybuilder in his 30s and finds himself inspired by the rising current crop of athletes succeeding today. In our latest GI Exclusive interview, Zane Watson lists his picks for the most influential bodybuilders currently competing today.
Zane Watson is looking at a three year plan to success in pro bodybuilding. He’s been competing already for some time now but last year’s pandemic put a halt to his original plans. Now he’s looking to compete in the Arnold Classic 2021 this September. He’s had a routine memorized in his head that he’s excited to finally share with the world. He hopes this will be the first step towards further success and, hopefully, a future Olympia title.
We asked Zane Watson which bodybuilders inspired him most and helped influence his physique and posing routines. He had previously spoke with us about his original influences from past eras – but which bodybuilders currently competing excited him most and affected his approach?
Watson stated that he has multiple influences depending on which area of bodybuilding you are focusing on. For example, John Meadows is a big inspiration. He may no longer compete but now he trains athletes – including current Men’s 212 champion Shaun Clarida. Watson believes that Meadows’ training principles are legendary and have helped shape him into the bodybuilder he is today.
When it comes to pure physiques, he believes that Keone Pearson is a future Men’s 212 Olympia champion in the making. He believes that Pearson has one of the best physiques currently on stage in all of bodybuilding. He uses that as a beacon or goal to reach towards in his own physique.
Zane Watson also has a deep love of posing. He is most inspired at the moment by Terrence Ruffin’s posing routines. He believes that he will also become an Olympia champion in the Classic Physique division one day. Watson is a rare younger bodybuilder who believes posing is equally important as physiques. Without pitch perfect posing – the entire physique wouldn’t come together for the judges to see.
Athletes like Keone Pearson and Terrence Ruffin have been gaining heat for the past few years now. It makes sense that Zane Watson sees inspiration in them as well as motivation to rival them on stage with his own physique. Perhaps Watson will be the next guard of athlete to catch attention alongside these two bodybuilders. Watson’s New York Pro showing in 2018 caught a lot of attention. If he can earn a victory in the next step up such as the Arnold Classic – it can upgrade his status even further. We can’t wait to see his three year plan come to fruition.

This past weekend held the IFBB Republic Of Texas Championships on July 17, 2021 in Austin, Texas. The event included just two divisions – Men’s Physique and Bikini. After a hard fought battle, Andrei Lincan won the Men’s Physique division alongside Daraja Hill who won the Bikini division.

Guy Cisternino: “If You Don’t Have Thick Skin, You Shouldn’t Be On Social Media”
[embedded content]
Guy Cisternino discusses the difference between hardship and depression… and how social media has risen self-induced anxiety.
Guy Cisternino is a bodybuilder who exudes confidence. When he recently went viral for his argument in a gym – many online criticized him harshly. But Cisternino, though defending himself, didn’t seem bothered at all. This is rare in the internet age when many, but not all, can have their mood deeply affected by how well received they are on social media. That being said, Cisternino is not impenetrable. In our latest GI Exclusive interview, Guy Cisternino opens up about dealing with anxiety, hardships, and discusses how social media has risen anxiety for nearly everyone in the world.
Though Guy Cisternino appears to have a “I don’t give a crap” attitude, he’s human. And while he overall projects confidence, he would be lying to say he didn’t suffer from anxiety. During our recent conversation, Cisternino opened up about how he’s had some truly dark times in his past. He’s overcome them and he doesn’t consider those bouts of time being real depression. But they were challenging.
In fact, Guy Cisternino uses this moment to discuss the difference between hardship and depression. He thinks that mental health is a very serious thing – but there’s a difference between real clinical depression vs just having hardships in your life. He worries that some people today confuse the two and use it as an excuse to not improve themselves.
Cisternino also discusses how he suffers from chronic anxiety himself. But this anxiety is different than what you might assume based off the standard definition of the word. Guy Cisternino explains how he has trouble sleeping nearly every single night. It’s not because he is kept up by anxious thoughts. Instead, his brain simply doesn’t turn off. He can be lying in bed, wide awake, thinking about nothing. He’s gone to doctors and sought help from psychiatrists. It’s a form of anxiety – but not the kind of social anxiety that brings bad thoughts into his brain.
Guy Cisternino then pivots in the interview to talk about anxiety as a whole in our culture. He believes that social media has made anxiety worse for most people. He considers it self induced though – as most people don’t need to use social media – despite nearly everyone succumbing to it. He believes that individuals who suffer serious anxiety caused by social media – should just log off permanently. It’s only making things harder despite the addictive rush of likes and positive comments.
“I think some people shouldn’t be on social media,” Guy Cisternino states in our interview. He continues:
“Some people I think it effects them in a real negative way. If you don’t have thick skin, you shouldn’t be on social media. Because you’re putting yourself at risk at the opinion of others. And you’re never going to get the majority of people – there’s always going to be someone who doesn’t like you just because.”
The term “everyone’s a critic” comes to mind with his statement. Social media has allowed us all to be put out into the mass public – and we will be judged. It’s in our nature to judge what we see. Social media makes that more constant and easier to disassociate our words from how it affects the person on the other side. Guy Cisternino doesn’t lose sleep over negative comments – but for those who do – he thinks the best course of action is to leave social media behind completely.

Talking Huge With Craig Golias | EP 7: Bodybuilding Heroes & Villains, Eating & Genetics, + More!
[embedded content]
Craig Golias talks about bodybuilding rivalries – do we need heroes and villains in the sport?
Welcome to another episode of Talking Huge – a weekly digital series in which Craig Golias talks in-depth with Vlad Yudin on the latest trending topics in bodybuilding. Raw, honest, and uncut – Craig Golias shares his opinions on all things bodybuilding. In this episode, Craig Golias talks about rivalries, trash talk and drama in bodybuilding. He also discusses eating and genetics, the problem with bodybuilding sponsorships, and more.
Craig Golias brings an interesting perspective to professional bodybuilding. Having abandoned the competitive side of the sport, he is simply a man passionate about the lifestyle while keeping tabs on pro bodybuilding. He’s not even 100% a die hard fan of the sport. This allows him to be a bit more honest and less subjective about the current trends in pro bodybuilding.
That’s why a significant chunk of today’s episode revolves around how to make pro bodybuilding entertaining. Should it go down a more wrestling route with drama, heroes, and villains? Or does that cheapen the very real integrity behind competing in pro bodybuilding? We dive in with our latest episode of Talking Huge. Read on for a full recap and watch above!
Heroes and Villains in Bodybuilding
Craig Golias and Vlad Yudin start today’s conversation reflecting on the past weekend’s Conor McGregor fight. He ultimately lost and broke his ankle. This is one of a string of setbacks for McGregor. Yet, both Craig and Vlad are certain that McGregor will continue to be a major figure in MMA for the foreseeable future. It has less to do with his record and more to do with his personality. He can sell the hell out of an upcoming MMA fight.
This begs the question – does bodybuilding need more drama and characters like Conor McGregor? Blessing Awodibu recently tried this tactic leading up to the New York Pro against Nick Walker. Ultimately, Walker came out victorious with Blessing falling quite behind. Does his lower placing deter destroy his ability to build hype before a show? Or will his personality always prevail?
Craig Golias thinks that characters like Blessing Awodibu are important for the sport. He thinks that the past decade of bodybuilding has been missing that kind of exciting hype leading up to events. While Kai Greene and Phil Heath are famous rivals – Craig doesn’t find their clash all that exciting. Instead, he turns towards the early 2000s when Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman faced off year after year. To Craig, that was the shining example of what rivalries should be with significant hype leading up to the big shows.
Beyond rivalries, Craig Golias also thinks it’s good to have true characters – heroes and villains – in pro bodybuilding. Similar to wrestling, this kind of dynamic creates fan drama and connections. In some sense, Phil Heath accepted his role as villain in the sport. But didn’t have anyone, other than Kai for a short time, to match against his personality.
Craig Golias On How Genetics Skew Perceptions Of Bodybuilding Diets
Craig and Vlad also discuss the truth behind bulking and cutting in bodybuilding. Many fans believe that during the bulking phase, that pro bodybuilders can eat as much junk food as they want. They believe that due to drugs like insulin or steroids that athletes have more leeway in what they can eat during the offseason.
Craig Golias wants to debunk this myth. If anything, certain athletes simply have the genetics that allow them to eat what they want and still come to stage shredded later. This is simply a general thing. We all know the kid growing up who could eat junk food all day and never gain a pound. Genetics can be a powerful thing that separates how each of us react to our diets. Unfortunately, in a sport so focused on size, physique, and diet – bodybuilders with phenomenal genetics skew the perception of how to really train and eat as a bodybuilder.
Wrap Up
There are far more topics discussed in this episode than we can cover in this article. You can watch Craig Golias and Vlad Yudin discuss other topics such as how the internet destroyed bodybuilding sponsorships and also why bodybuilding mass monster physiques will never be mainstream. You can check it all out in the latest episode of Talking Huge above! Make sure to check out Talking Huge every week on Friday – only on the Generation Iron Fitness Network!
Zac Aynsley Joins boohooMAN as a Brand Ambassador
Zac Aynsley joins fellow GI managed athlete Big Neechi as a brand ambassador for boohooMAN.
It looks like another member of the GI Team is joining forces with the boohooMAN brand as Zac Aynsley signs an exclusive deal with the company. A long time member of the Generation Iron team, Aynsley has seen his success skyrocket over the past few years. Now that success continues as he has decided to team up with the Boohooman clothing company.
Like fellow GI managed athlete Big Neechi, Zac Aynsley has signed an exclusive deal with the budding clothing company. Both athletes bring their own flare to the table. Where Big Neechi is more over the top in his approach to the game, Zac Aynsley is more mild mannered and reserved, yet every bit as influential. His 1.4 million Instagram followers is a pretty healthy testament to that.
Big Neechi and Zac Aynsley aren’t the only heavy hitters in the fitness and bodybuilding space to join the brand. Popular figures like Simeon Panda and Larry Wheels have also joined Boohooman as well. This star studded lineup proves the brand is strong and only on the rise.
Zac Aynsley is a truly inspirational figure in bodybuilding. The influencer has been through some pretty dark moments in his life. In a GQ interview Aynsley revealed that he had suicidal thoughts at a young age. When he found bodybuilding he was able to turn things around and transform not only his physique but his mindset as well. As such, Aynsley has become the very epitome of how how bodybuilding and fitness can actually save lives.
Being able to admit such things about himself in a candid interview isn’t easy. But what it does show is that Zac Aynsley has the kind of mindset that will allow him to over one anything. It’s what makes him such a powerful influence and a choice candidate for the boohooMAN brand. Having a truly inspiring figure like Aynsley apart of the team will no doubt boost interest in the brand.
A Proper Ambassador
Make no mistake, Zac Aynsley is sure to turn heads for the boohooMAN brand.
The Generation Iron management team has been hard at work helping athlete crossover from fitness and bodybuilding to broader ventures. Zac Aynsley signing with boohooMAN is just another example of that.
What’s your thoughts on Zac Aynsley joining the boohooMAN brand?
