When Derek Lunsford put out his most recent Instagram physique update it sent shockwaves throughout the fitness industry. The former 212 Mr. Olympia nearly won his first Sandow at last year’s Mr. Olympia and has his sights set on 2023. His coach, Hany Ramrod, also coaches the guy who won the contest in 2022, The Persian Wolf Hadi Choopan.

I often get asked how I can train at my home and not miss the commercial gym atmosphere. It’s quite simple, go to any major gym out there that would be a meathead’s heaven, and you’ll find more tripods and cameras than barbells and plates. Add in the fact that anything I would need at a commercial gym I have at my home, and you’d fully understand that I have zero interest or need to go to an overcrowded commercial gym ever again.

On a recent Instagram LIVE that included Phil’s take on a variety of topics, including a possible comeback at a contest other than the Mr. Olympia, he answered a fan question about Big Ramy that sparked my interest. It’s a comment that speaks to my theory that Big Ramy is being punished for missing the 2022 Pittsburgh Pro and for other behind-the-scenes issues that I know of but that I’m unable to write about. I’m unable to write about them because I’m privy to the information because of two highly recognizable sources in the fitness industry. One is a top level competitor and another is a big supplement company owner.

Well it seems that Vitaliy Ugolnikov aka GoodVito will be taking the stage in September at the upcoming European Championships. The goal is of course qualifying for the 2023 Mr. Olympia. He’ll be up against a jaw dropping Reagan Grimes who was just recently trash talked by Nick Walker and who let’s be honest hasn’t really lived up to his true potential. The legendary Canadian social media sensation is determined to shut up the critics and win over the fans again. He will be bringing his absolute best and that’s going to raise the stakes for everyone competing as well. Another big-name bodybuilder doing the European Championships is The Prophecy Nathan DeAsha. Nathan is an extremely dangerous bodybuilder and one of the best to emerge from the United Kingdom since The Shadow himself Dorian Yates.

Juicing is a trend that seems to be sticking around in the health and nutrition industry, and it could be due to its ability to help detoxify the body and help prevent or even reverse chronic illnesses. That being said, celery juice consumption is on the rise as more people are purchasing pre-made beverages as well as making celery juice at home.

I know what you’re thinking… “WHAT?” Don’t be fooled by the name. Gyrotonic isn’t a fancy lunch wrap or a fruity cocktail. It’s actually a one-of-a-kind exercise system that’s been around since the early ’80s. The name itself comes from the Greek words “gyro,” meaning “spiral” or “circle,” and “tonic,” which describes a healthy muscular condition.

I think it’s safe to say that no one will ever confuse Nick Walker with the inventor of the Rubix cube. He’s a nice enough guy, but he’s dumb as rocks when it comes to anything beyond lifting weights. I say this largely because of the fact that I’m annoyed he blocked me. I feel that top pro’s who do this generally lack the ability to think beyond play dough and eating paste. It doesn’t matter if they have a college degree (e.g. like Phil Heath) or if they’re from different generations or parts of the world.
