Don’t Weigh Me Cards: Another Excuse for American Obesity

by Matt Weik

Oh boy, I can hear the triggered alarms going off across the nation already. Listen, if you don’t want to hear the truth, go back to your safe space, pull up your security blanket, and ask the government for some more money. Otherwise, I’m going to give it to you as it is. These Don’t Weigh Me cards are nothing more than another excuse for Americans to brush their weight under the rug and put their earplugs in.

The Media Continues to Paint Bodybuilders as Bad People

by Matt Weik

I’m not going to name names in this article because, quite frankly, I feel the use of the term “bodybuilder” is overused today. But apparently, there was a young man who went to his parents’ Long Island mansion on Christmas morning and shot his dad in the back and his mom in the head. Luckily, as of the time of writing this, both individuals are recovering in a hospital which is miraculous. But it, once again, leads me to believe that bodybuilders are targets for the media, and these so-called “journalists” only focus on the negative things they do.

Should the NPC Allow Out of Shape Competitors on Stage?

by Matt Weik

I’ve seen a lot of comments, videos, and posts on social media about a recent NPC bodybuilding show where one competitor (in the super heavyweight class) came in out of shape. And when I say out of shape, I mean, his body fat had to be over 30%. The biggest gripe has been that this was a nationally qualified show that led to an IFBB pro card.

Mr. Olympia Chris Dickerson Passed Away

by Christian Duque

We often hear about The Golden Era of Bodybuilding, that period of time when the sport was really put on the map, with glowing nostalgia. It was a time when fans bought up all the magazines, including ones in languages they couldn’t understand. It was a time when the mystery for what went on in Muscle Beach couldn’t have been higher. It was the Mecca of Bodybuilding, a rock’s throw from Hollywood, with the greatest champions walking around and feeling totally at home.

The Olympia Won’t Cancel Shawn Ray!

by Christian Duque

The detractors rallied their forces, they berated “Sugar” Shawn Ray throughout social media, so much so that it started to become as if the entire industry wanted Shawn’s head on a silver platter. I’m not saying I approve of what the IFBB Hall of Famer said on that bizarre RXMuscle interview, just a day after the passing of Mr. Olympia Shawn “Flexatron” Rhoden, but I think it’s safe to say that Palumbo had a huge deal of responsibility in that whole fiasco.
