Everyone is talking about the return of Phil Heath, but is he actually returning? With Phil’s cover on the most recent edition of Muscular Development, bodybuilding fans are once again taking to the message boards, gym floors, and social media. Notice that I said bodybuilding fans and not Phil Heath fans. I don’t think Phil actually has anywhere near as many fans as a Kai Greene, Jay Cutler, or much less, that of Ronnie Coleman. And that’s an important distinction because the actual fanbase count makes the degree of the snowball effect key.

Unfortunately, you might not be blessed with the biggest body parts. In fact, you could have an area that is well, smaller than average. And that’s fine. Don’t worry, you can fix it! I have a list of reasons why you’re small and how you can get bigger. The first thing you need to do is understand that you have a problem, and that to feel fulfilled and like a man, you need to take action. Failure to do so will leave the ladies wanting more and you know what happens with a wandering eye. But, don’t worry. I’m going to explain how you can get bigger and rock hard.

From the moment Brandon Curry won the 2019 Mr. Olympia, critics have had a bullseye on him. Some are butthurt because Shawn Rhoden couldn’t compete (even though they never rooted for Shawn to begin with), others were butthurt because Phil Heath didn’t come back, others were butthurt because (even after some flirting with the idea) Kai Greene didn’t return. Some are butthurt because Big Ramy didn’t do this year’s Arnold, skipped Tampa, and because he didn’t get a special invite (which he totally didn’t deserve).

The Classic Physique Division has been the talk of the town since its inception just a few years ago. It’s the division that celebrates the artistic look bodybuilding was initially all about, that flowing, symmetrical physique, the tiny waist, broad shoulders, and complete balance. Classic competitors fall into poses like you or I would put one put in front of the other, they have a way of posing that seems natural, like second-nature.

Natural Bodybuilding has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, but 2019 marked a key moment in the history of the sport, with the first ever IFBB Pro League Ben Weider Pro Show in Montreal, Canada. The contest, named after legendary IFBB President and visionary Ben Weider, set the bar incredibly high. A huge part of why the show was such a huge success was that it was promoted by NPC Mid Atlantic Zone Chairman Gary Udit and Canadian Physique Alliance President Ron Hache.

This is a very interesting topic as a couple of years ago I would have told you absolutely. However, as time goes by, I see his window of opportunity getting smaller and smaller for Roelly Winklaar. This year is a perfect example. With a weak showing of competitors (Phil was out, Ramy was out, Shawn was out), it was truly Roelly’s time to shine and take advantage of the moment and he fell way short. So short, that he almost fell outside of the top 5.

The world of bodybuilding and fitness is on fire as rumors seem to be confirmed that both Shawn “Flexatron” Rhoden and Big Ramy are both wanting to do the 2020 Arnold Classic. A new video from Nick Miller (Nick’s Strength And Power) has added considerable fuel to the fire. The fact that these reports are coming out from a channel as reputable as is, also increase the legitimacy. There’s several factors that make this particular contest unique. For example, those who run the Arnold may not take the same approach with Rhoden that Weider/AMI took for the Olympia.
