I saw a post on Facebook a little while back that sparked a conversation in my head – yes, I ask myself questions and answer myself, don’t you? But all jokes aside, someone in the fitness industry was bitching about the newsletter he charges for and compared his newsletter (full of information that 1% or less of the population in the world would ever want to read) to a girl posting pictures of herself nude on a platform named OnlyFans.

Where to begin when talking about 1983 Mr. Olympia Samir Bannout. The early 1980’s were probably a whole different world than today. Ronald Reagan was the president of the United States, the Cold War was in full force (with neither side appearing to be the clear cut winner), and many countries were torn along political, ethnic, religious and/or class lines.

Ok.., not a month goes by that I don’t get emails or DM’s from fans all over the world, particularly from Latin America that would love nothing more than a Jay Cutler comeback. Jay is a former Mr. Olympia, who like Ronnie Coleman, has only increased his fanbase since leaving the stage. This is attributable to having a cutting edge supplement line, fresh clothes, and one of the most successful Youtube channels online.

It seems that two of the biggest fitness industry social media stars are on the verge of all out war. Luimarco was the trendsetter. He created a following through the trolling of pro bodybuilders, developing his own lingo, and strengthening ties to a viewership that all but idolized him. Many of the early fans were folks who, initially, loved being on the MISC at Bodybuilding.com, but needed something more. The first super successful channel to create a subculture for fitness-minded youths, were The HodgeTwins.

Joseph Baena is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son and he has been all over social media with a recent photo of the young bodybuilder emerging from a cryotherapy session going viral. Ever since he was featured on a Terminator 2 remake, he’s been making waves in Hollywood. Although the remake was only a short, it created a lot of interest in the young actor, especially (now) having finished his university studies, and more than likely looking to make some key career decisions.

If you’re like me, I’m not one of the American citizens sitting back ok with our rights and freedoms being stripped from us. Governors have decided upon their own power what they deem “essential” and “non-essential” businesses as the economy slowly opens back up. One of the biggest concerns according to politicians is the reopening up gyms and fitness centers. Maybe Reebok has solved this problem with the Reebok Fitness Mask? No, I’m not joking. You can’t even make something like this up.

So that didn’t last long…, I followed Lee on Instagram and after just a few articles here on Iron Magazine, in response to his shenanigans on RX Muscle and social media, he blocked me. You’d think anyone who was as public and as outspoken as he is, would like journalists writing articles about his antics. I mean, there’s no such thing as bad publicity, right? And if that publicity is discussing you, what you’re doing, and taking the time to break it down and weigh in, that should be exactly what you want, right?

I’m so sick of hearing about Kai Greene and Kai Greene’s name come up in our industry anymore. I respect the man for what he’s accomplished both on and off the stage, but enough is enough. Either get back on the Olympia stage or shut up.

With everything going on in the world today, immunity-boosting supplements have been the new craze. And for good reason as everyone is trying to stay healthy. Brands who have never cared about immunity, vitamins, minerals, etc. are now launching their very own line of immunity supplements. But once we are out of this “pandemic” we are under, will the sales continue to boom, or will we find things going back to normal where people couldn’t care less about their immunity and whether or not they are able to fight off illnesses and viruses?
