There are a lot of things that run through people’s minds. You have the stress of people worrying about money. You have kids running around your house all day long. You have stress about work. All of this stress and mental exhaustion can lead to emotional eating. And we all know what emotional eating leads to… excess weight gain.

This is a question that seems to be resonating with quite a number of fitness industry pundits and influencers, as of late, but why now? For starters, 2019 was the second year that The Arnold Classic didn’t offer the division, and there’s been no talk of bringing it back to Columbus, OH. Also, 2019 was the first year the division wasn’t led by its 7x Olympia Showdown Champion, The Welsh Dragon, James “Flex” Lewis.

Social media is consuming a good part of our days. Don’t believe me? If you have an iPhone you can check thanks to a new feature called “Screen Time.” Now, this article has nothing to do with that app, but rather more about your fitness Facebook account specifically. I’m assuming if you have a fitness Facebook account and post regularly that the social media platform means something to you and is of value?

There was a time in the mid 2000’s where podcasts were the talk of the town. You had Pro Bodybuilding Weekly, which started it all, but you also have other podcasts like Muscular Development’s No Bull Radio. Podcasts offered their listeners a wide variety of content, from contest coverage and handicapping, to interesting interviews, to commentary about the sport’s history and current trends therein.

In the event of an emergency like the power going out in a snowstorm, a thunderstorm knocking out the electric, etc., do you have the things you would need to survive a few days (maybe even a month)? Personally, I’m not one of those people who run out and buy up anything and everything they can find thinking it’s a doomsday scenario. I plan and have all of my preparations well in advance. No, I’m not some crazy prepper with a bunker and a bug-out location somewhere in the woods.

I need to hand it to Patrick Bet-David, he’s putting out some amazing bodybuilding content lately with some really good interviews with top bodybuilders and asking some really deep questions. On the latest installment of Valuetainment, Patrick sat down with Dexter Jackson and spoke about his career, his future, and the reasons behind his retirement from bodybuilding.

In 2019, when Brandon Curry won the Arnold Classic, William Bonac, who won the event in 2018, addressed his fans and told them to join him in congratulating the new champion. Curry and Bonac battled down to the wire, it was a very hard fought win for Curry, and a very narrow defeat for Bonac. It would have been very easy for Bonac to have nodded in disagreement, to have (barely) robotically shooken Curry’s hand on stage, and then gone onto to social media and done all the bodybuilding shows trashing him.

When Easter comes around this April, many families will be decorating Easter eggs. They’ll go through the process of hard-boiling the eggs and then decorate them all with a variety of colors yet when all is said and done, they aren’t sure what to do with the eggs. Do you toss them in the trash? Heck no! You eat those little protein-packed gems!

You don’t need to convince me that working remotely is extremely beneficial. With my businesses, I’m able to work anywhere in the world and get everything I need done without sitting in a designated office space. That being said, even before I started my own businesses, I worked in the supplement industry where for years I traveled across the nation and then spent my Friday’s at home in my “office” space. Later, my role changed with the company which made working remotely the only means to get the job done without needing to relocate to Ronkonkoma, NY – which I wasn’t about to do.
