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.

I’ve been thinking about this topic for a few days now as I know there will be people on both sides of the fence regarding this topic. I know this will not be my most liked piece of content but I feel like the question needs to be asked. What’s the purpose of bodybuilding? My take on this subject may be completely different from yours but I’d like to open up the dialogue and get everyone’s take.

Many dismiss Tony Huge as a mad scientist. Now he tries to prove them wrong.

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?

Patrick Bet-David has sat down with some great bodybuilders recently (such as Brandon Curry, Phil Heath, and Dorian Yates) and in his most recent interview, sat down with 8-time Mr. Olympia winner, Ronnie Coleman. Patrick Bet-David runs a very successful business and is also the content creator and brains behind the YouTube channel, Valuetainment. In this Valuetainment interview, Patrick asks some very interesting questions to Ronnie Coleman which some of the answers will have tears rolling down your face from laughing so hard.

Guy Cisternino is not known to hold his tongue. So of course when it comes to New Years and resolutions you know the bodybuilder must have some interesting words on the subject. Surprisingly Cisternino doesn’t want anything to do with the concept of making New Year resolutions because well… you should just do the damn work. So let this video motivate the hell out of you on the first day of 2017. Get in the gym. Make a real change. Don’t just keep grinning with a resolution that means nothing every year.

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.
