BBC recently started airing a show called Who Are You Calling Fat? It’s a show that takes nine obese individuals and puts them in one house together where they interact and talk about their mentality, health, issues, body image, and societal “norms.” While the show is not using people from here in the states, it raises the question when this will come to America and what are these shows trying to prove?

2019 was my first ever Mr. Olympia. After covering several Arnold Classics and pro and amateur shows all over the country, 2019 was the very first time I made the trip to Las Vegas, with a press pass, and ready to do interviews. I had a blast and got some great interviews, including with new Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry. I can’t say enough about the contest, always described as the “Superbowl of Bodybuilding.” One memory that sticks out, though, was the Olympia Meet & Greet.

Bang Energy CEO Jack Owoc uses young teenage girls to promote his energy drinks and he seems to do just about anything for attention.

Uncover The Shadow in this in-depth documentary about the life and times of Dorian Yates.

Dorian Yates is a legendary bodybuilder who was known in his prime as The Shadow. This was due to his mysterious bodybuilding prep – where he would ship off back to his home in England and then appear at the Olympia the next year with a physique that made jaws drop and the impossible suddenly become real in the flesh. Blood And Guts was then later released revealing just how intense he trained – and now Dorian Yates: The Original Mass Monster dives deeper to uncover the mindset of the man who transformed bodybuilding forever.

Kai Greene remains one of the most popular bodybuilders in the world. He’s a guy who won every title imaginable, with the exception of the Olympia, and had the career of ten men. Even at the height of 7x Mr. Olympia Phil Heath’s reign, Kai was aways more popular. So why was that? The reality of the matter is that Kai was popular, loved, and respected because he was real. If you remember his videos with Palumbo, Pulcinella, and the various magazines, The Predator wasn’t a Hollywood jetsetter, he didn’t live large, he was a guy who actually struggled.

Many of us in the industry already know the ways bodybuilding can make you a better person. However, for those on the outside looking in, all they see are a bunch of meatheads who pick things up and put them down and who consume a metric ton of protein on a daily basis. We hear all of the stereotypes from bodybuilders being dumb, to being conceited, and everything else you want to throw our way. What they fail to realize is that that bodybuilders have traits (thanks to bodybuilding itself) that they will probably never have. So, before you want to speak ill about a bodybuilder, maybe you should walk a mile in their shoes—and then open your mouth with your thoughts and opinions.

It’s always fun for me to read other “insider” opinions on what’s going to be hot the next year. Well, I found an article where someone tossed in their two-cents on 2020 sports nutrition trends and I figured I’d give my opinion on whether or not I agree with what they are saying and maybe how our views differ. I saw this article on NutraIngredients.com and the writer who put this all together is Shane Starling.
