FREE is Holding Back the Fitness and Supplement Industry

by Matt Weik

Look, I like free as much as the next guy, but enough is enough. The fitness and supplement industry is plagued by brands and “experts” giving everything away for free. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to get a little help every now and then as well as try some free supplements, but consumers are now EXPECTING this to be the norm. And when it isn’t, they want to bitch and complain and wish the worst case of diarrhea upon your brand and business.

A Bodybuilder’s Mindset Can Build a Profitable Business

by Matt Weik

Whether you’re a bodybuilder or a body-builder, you can take away a lot of things from living the lifestyle—especially when it comes to business. Now, I’m sure there are a lot of you scratching your head wondering how picking things up and putting them down equates to building a solid business, but it’s true. Bodybuilders are a different breed—not just physically, but mentally. Business owners and entrepreneurs are very similar to these genetically gifted lads. In fact, many business owner and entrepreneurs should be more like bodybuilders if they aren’t already. Let me explain.

Growth Hormone – The Anabolic Debate

by Josh Hodnik

Human growth hormone was first experimented with by bodybuilders in the late 1970’s. This very expensive and once hard to find hormone was rumored to be the most effective bodybuilding drug to be discovered since the steroid era began in the 1950’s. The small number of bodybuilders that had access to HGH at this time were paying a small fortune for it in hopes of building a physique that was superior to other bodybuilders during this era. Human growth hormone was extracted from the pituitary of human cadavers until 1985, when it was then replaced by a synthetic version produced by recombinant DNA technology. Steroid guru Dan Duchaine, touted HGH as being a highly effective anabolic drug in his underground steroid handbook, which was released in 1982. Duchaine later contradicted his original view on HGH in 1989, when he claimed that HGH had little value to athletes in the second edition of his underground steroid handbook. This back and forth view on the effectiveness of HGH as a muscle builder has continued to this day.

It’s Expired – But Does That Mean It’s Not Good?

by Anthony Roberts

One of the most common questions I hear in both the steroid-world as well as the nutritional industry is “my stuff expired, is it still safe to use?” This ranges from Winstrol to protein powder and I can’t count how many times I’ve been asked this. Personally, I tend to be on the liberal side with my own stuff, often going pretty far past an expiry date. But what actually happens to drugs when they go past their expiration date? If your aspirin has expired, will it still get rid of your headache? (Answer: Wisconsin’s pharmacy school tested aspirin 4 years after it was made, and found that it was still 100% potent) But are you going to die because you’ve been using protein powder that expired yesterday?

Should Non-Bodybuilders Be Able to Critique Bodybuilders?

by Matt Weik

I received this question through DM on Instagram and the gentleman and I had a good conversation on our thoughts, even though he wanted me to write an article about it (which I am now). He wanted my opinion on whether non-bodybuilders should be able to critique bodybuilders. He brought up how other sports you can be a fan, have never played the sport, yet it seems normal to critique a team or player(s). How is this similar or different from the sport of bodybuilding? Here’s my take on the subject.

Why Do We Use Tragedy to Push Negativity in Bodybuilding?

by Matt Weik

At the time of writing this article, we just got news that IFBB Pro Bodybuilder, “Big Country” Dallas McCarver passed away. And without any proof, people are coming out of the woodwork with accusations and rumors. The man just died, and already you’re pushing your own agenda? What’s even more shocking, is that some of the people who are lashing out, are old washed up bodybuilders who never amounted to anything trying to say how he did this wrong or that wrong—yet, in Dallas’ short career he had already surpassed everything those individuals had accomplished. So, it got me thinking about all the negativity surrounding the sport today, and how people use tragedy to promote themselves and their agenda.
