The Urgency to Do it NOW So You Aren’t Living with Regret

by Matt Weik

The topic of this article is somewhat not the norm but I feel as though it needs to be said as it can transition through many areas of your life – including health and fitness. Far too many people push things off, don’t follow through, and never think they are able to do or accomplish something. This can range from getting on the bodybuilding stage, to starting a business, to asking out the hot chick you just met, to traveling the world – insert whatever you want to fit your personal life. You need to live life with some urgency so you aren’t living with regret.

Is Phil Heath the Next Kai Greene?

By Christian Duque

Yeah… you read that title right. Here’s the problem I have with Phil Heath. Ok, I have many, but the main one as of late, has been the vagueness in his comments. Is he doing the Olympia or is he not? What’s up with all the dodgy answers? The Olympia is the biggest contest in bodybuilding. The defending champion remains banned. Kai has not received a special invite. Big Ramy is not doing the contest. At a time when the event could really use a major feather in its cap, Phil is playing Kai Greene.

Dexter Jackson’s GOAT Check

by Geoff Roberts

When I first became interested in the world of bodybuilding over fifteen years ago, Dexter Jackson was already the man. In 2004 Dexter was already placing top three at the Mr. Olympia, vying for the Arnold Classic title, and had already won several professional shows. Flash forward to today and Dexter is the owner of more professional titles than any man in history, more Arnold Classic titles than any man in history, and a measly old Mr. Olympia title to boot. Some argue Dexter is the greatest bodybuilder of all time. With 29 wins, 5 Arnold Classic wins, and 1 Mr. Olympia win, these individuals can make a decent case, but usually fail at convincing most fans and pundits. If The Blade can manage to bump those numbers up to 30, 5 and 2, the Dexter GOAT conversation will instantly be taken far more seriously.

Peckish Eggs Are Nothing to Yolk About

by Matt Weik

The egg is one of the best sources of protein available today. If you’ve followed my content, I’ve written about how amazing eggs are for those who are looking to improve their health and physique. With that being said, not everyone has the time to make eggs or quite frankly they can’t seem to get it right when they try. They either get too dry or end up too wet. The next best thing seems to be hard-boiling eggs to eat whenever or pack them conveniently in a bag to take with you to work. Yet, some people wind up with oddly shaped eggs, eggs that crack and pop through the shell, or even discoloration. If you want to take things a step further, some people simply don’t have the time to boil eggs with their busy schedule. That’s where Peckish eggs come into play.

Athleisure: Hip or Hate?

by Matt Weik

We see trends come and go. However, athleisure seems to be steadily growing – for now at least. But, it raises the question as to have we become more lax as a society and more accepting of “casual wear?”

Are Lawsuits the Answer?

by Christian Duque

The big news in the fitness industry is 4x Men’s Physique Olympia champion Jeremy Buendia’s $1,000,000 lawsuit against defendants he alleges have defamed him, caused him to suffer measurable damages, and who he’d like to enjoin from further alleged behavior. The concept of using civil litigation to right wrongs on social media is an interesting one. Journalists enjoy any number of protections under the Constitution, but character assassination isn’t one of them.
