It’s hard to compare anything to the Olympia, but the 2020 Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio could be the biggest show of the year (maybe even bigger than Athleticon). While there is still much excitement surrounding the Olympia (as I know Dan Solomon is going to bring an amazing production), the potential lineup could again this year be lackluster.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to see 212 bodybuilders coming into the open class. In fact, it’s my opinion that the 212 bodybuilders could actually disrupt open bodybuilding as we know it. How so? Have you seen Hadi Choopan and Flex Lewis? Let’s discuss why I think this. Maybe I’m nuts?

I am not a fan of politics. However, I understand that military actions do occur when there is a threat to the US or our allies. That said, the most recent overseas airstrike the US made, that killed an Iranian leader, could be the nail in the coffin for Hadi Choopan and his bodybuilding career.

With all the smack talking going on these days about so and so bodybuilder wouldn’t place top 5 in this era or that era, who cares? That’s like Michael Jordan saying no one from today’s era would be able to guard him. I think we need to take a step back and look at each bodybuilding era for what it is. Let me explain.

The other day I was out with a group of people and a few of us started talking about fitness and nutrition. A couple others overheard us discussing various topics, gave us the most awkward look, and then walked away. It was as if I let out the stinkiest protein fart ever and they were downwind. I was actually taken back by what had just happened and it made me wonder if talking about fitness and nutrition was like talking about religion and politics. Are fitness and nutrition topics that we should not discuss with others openly where others could hear and be offended somehow? Or are more people turning into snowflakes?

Have you set a New Year’s fitness resolution in the past? How did that go? If you’re like the majority of the people out there, you never finished what you set out to do. Why is that? It’s actually quite simple – you never wanted to do it in the first place. Am I right? You probably felt pressured to follow suit and come up with some lofty goals you really didn’t want to hit because it sounded good when talking with family and friends. I have a better idea for you that I want to lay out below.
