I’ve always been one to say that if you can’t find it on Amazon, then it doesn’t exist. Well, Amazon told us all to hold their beer and to “watch this” with their unusual products being sold. Now, Amazon prohibits the listing or sale of firearms, firearm ammunition, and even most firearm parts and some accessories. But they sell injectable peptides? Wait… what?!

The The big question now isn’t if Nick Walker can win Chicago, it’s more so about if Big Ramy competes in Chicago, can Nick Walker beat him?

This article isn’t asking what if Phil Heath fails, it’s asking what if he tanks? And what would that look like, exactly? Well, let’s address this from the jump. If Phil tanks, that would mean he actually put some effort into his prep, but failed to crack the Top 6. If Phil came back and was battling in places 7th – 10th, that would be him tanking.
