WHAT’S A SPONSORSHIP – AND WHAT IS NOT!!

by Christian Duque

Every single day, I see athletes all over social media promoting companies and in many instances, it’s almost akin to seeing someone get played over and over again. It’s like a bad soap opera on autoplay. Sometimes, I feel like it’s groundhog’s day. Competitors – at all levels – make easy prey for companies that have the money to advertise, but prefer to get the berry and the juice, without ever digging into their pockets.

IS SHAWN RHODEN GETTING SCREWED? WHY NOT INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY?

by Matt Weik

I sat back long enough on this topic, and I think the time has come to look at what’s going on with Shawn Rhoden. Do I know all of the facts and evidence out there on his pending lawsuit? Nope. And I’m sure neither do any of you reading this (unless you’re Shawn Rhoden or Rick Collins). That said, I honestly feel bad for the dude.

THAT TIME RONNIE GOT BEAT…

by Christian Duque

There’s two main camps when it comes to when and where Mr. Olympia’s should compete. If it were up to the fans, the top bodybuilder in the world would always be in contest shape, would guest pose everywhere, and compete, as well. While it’s great to see your favorite bodybuilder guest pose, they seldom, if ever, look like they do at the Olympia.

IS BLESSING AWODIBU NOT LIVING UP TO THE HYPE? HE TALKS A GOOD GAME

by Matt Weik

I’m not one to start drama, but Blessing walked himself into this one. For someone who talked a good game and spent months trashing Nick Walker, to come in third at the Indy Pro should quiet him down a little (the keyword being “should”). Now, we may find Blessing Awodibu improve slightly going into the New York Pro, but I don’t think there’s any chance that he comes away with a win.

GREAT POSING WINS SHOWS!

by Christian Duque

Physique-based sports are all about creating a look. That look can be real – or – it can be an illusion. Either works, but it’s all in the presentation. No one cares how strong you are. I’ve heard competitors say they’re the strongest bodybuilder, the strongest Men’s Physique competitor, or the strongest Bikini star. Who cares? The judges certainly don’t. And the fans probably don’t, either. Of course, it’s a great distinction to get yourself pumped up and it might make for some cool motivation clips on Youtube or Instagram, but it’s also a recipe to get injured and/or have your body fall apart. No, what really matters is what the judges see.

EAT CLEAN BRO MEAL PREP SERVICE: MY EXPERIENCE & IS IT WORTH IT?

by Matt Weik

If you’ve been following my work for any amount of time, you know I often recommend meal prep services. I’ve tried a few in the past and decided to give Eat Clean Bro a try. For those of you who are trying to build muscle or lose body fat, it’s no surprise that your nutrition and the food you put in your mouth will make or break your results. While you can take one day during the week and meal prep all of your meals, a meal prep company like Eat Clean Bro could be an even easier solution.

THINKING ABOUT STARTING A SUPPLEMENT COMPANY? READ THIS FIRST

by Matt Weik

If you’ve been scrolling through your Facebook feed, you’ve probably seen an ad from Nutracap Labs. They claim to be of service when you’re starting a supplement company. Right on their homepage, it says, “Everything you need at one place – contract manufacturing, custom formulations, private label, design services, and fulfillment.” What they forgot to put there is that they apparently can’t meet labels claims and ownership has been under investigation by the FDA for a while and also carries a history for doing the exact same thing that’s going on right now.

DANA LINN BAILEY – THE COMEBACK OR THE COP OUT?

by Christian Duque

In Spanish, we have a saying, “dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres.” It translates to tell me who you hang with and I’ll tell you who you are. Hold that thought. Now, I like DLB. I loved her physique when she won the first ever Women’s Physique Olympia and I also liked her physique after the stage. When she won, the category was brand new, and it could have gone in many different directions.
