Not all bodybuilding shows are created equal. In fact, right now there are probably a good dozen or two of them to choose from each week to choose from. Some cover current events and others talk about the history of the sport. Some include current athletes, past athletes, and/or fans as commentators. It really all depends on the format.

As of press time, 2002 Mr Olympia Hadi Choopan has posted physique updates four days in a row. And he hasn’t posted photos with goon lighting or standing in the shadows, rather, he’s posting videos showing off his entire physique. As of press time, Choopan hasn’t made it onto the 2025 Arnold Classic invite list, but everyone will be glued to their phones, tablets, and computers come Friday. To quote Nick’s Strength And Power – who despite having me blocked, is the most popular YouTuber on the planet – “Hadi is the only guy who could beat Samson.” And I would happen to agree wholeheartedly.

WHY? I’ll never understand the obsession with bodybuilding champions trying to get as heavy as they possibly can in the offseason. I think it’s counterproductive because the whole idea of the dirty bulk is not anything that is going to develop any quality muscle tissue. And mind you I am talking about the greatest bodybuilder on the planet right now, but he is no different than anyone else.
