2023 Musclecontest Nevada State Pro Results
Bikini athletes were on the hunt for gold this weekend at the 2023 Musclecontest Nevada State Pro in Las Vegas, Nevada. This show served as an Olympia qualifier for later this year.
With seven different contests taking place this weekend, there are plenty of opportunities for bodybuilders to earn their respective invites to the biggest show of the year: 2023 Mr. Olympia, which is taking place in Orlando, Florida from November 2-5.
Defending champion Ashley Kaltwasser is back and aiming to defend her title in Nevada after picking up the honor in 2022. Given the competitive nature of the Bikini category, fans are excited to see who comes out on top this weekend. She holds the most wins of any category in the IFBB Pro League and remains one of the most successful Bikini athletes to ever compete.
In addition to Kalwasser, fans expect impressive performances from 2023 Klash Series USA Pro winner Rejiuana Harley. At her last few contests, Harley demonstrated a fine balance of proportions, symmetry, and conditioning, which has fans excited about her chances this weekend.
Savannah Watchman is another name the bodybuilding community has their eye on. She’s the 2023 California Night of Champions Pro winner and will look to find more success in Nevada.

2023 Miami Muscle Beach Pro Results and Scorecards
The Sunshine State welcomed bodybuilders from the Men’s Physique, Bikini, and Wellness divisions over the weekend on June 3 at the 2023 Miami Muscle Beach Pro. At this contest, competitors battled on stage for gold, prize money, and an invitation to bodybuilding’s most important event of the year, Mr. Olympia.
Unlike last year, competitors have less time to qualify for the 2023 Mr. Olympia competition taking place Nov. 2-5 in Orlando, Florida. In addition, the point system has been removed therefore the only way to earn passage to the show is by claiming a pro show victory.
Athletes who placed in the top three at the 2022 Olympia from the Men’s Physique, Bikini, and Wellness categories are automatically invited back for this year’s edition of the show. The season is undoubtedly picking up as there are a total of seven IFBB Pro League contests taking place around the world this weekend.
Ahead of this weekend, fans have tagged a few names to watch. Andre Ferguson heads into this weekend as a big favorite given his status as a three-time Arnold Classic champion. He’ll face off against 2023 Palmetto Classic Pro winner Daniel Ammons. Ammons finished fourth at the New York Pro a few weeks ago won by Ryan Terry. Lastly, the second-place NY Pro finisher Vitor Chaves is back at it and eager to assert himself as a frontrunner.

Powerlifter Jade Jacob Breaks Two Unofficial Deadlift & Total IPF World Records In Training
One of the biggest competitions in powerlifting is less than ten days away, as the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships will take place in Valletta, Malta, from June 11-18. Thus, the majority of World’s greatest powerlifters are almost at the peak of their physical shape. One of the participants in the aforementioned competition who has undoubtedly prepared exceptionally well is Jade Jacob. The French powerlifter fell just short of the IPF Worlds title in 2022, but she is now looking to amend herself with a win this year. Jade displayed her ambition by unofficially breaking the Deadlift and Total IPF World Records in her recent training session. Jade also shared all of her lifts from the workout on Instagram.
Jade Jacob started off her training session with a 180-kilogram (396.8-pound) squat, which is exactly the same weight as her competition PR. She then moved onto the bench press where she landed a 100-kilogram (220.5-pound) bench press. Like the squat, Jade’s bench press was also equal to her competition PR.
The real action started during the deadlift event when Jade Jacob managed to lock out 235 kilograms (518.1 pounds). This marked the first out of two Unofficial IPF World Records, as the current one was set by Jade herself at the 2023 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships. This competition took place just a few months ago and Jade set the record by deadlifting 231 kilograms (509.3 pounds).
By accumulating all three events, Jade Jacob’s Total came out to 515 kilograms (1,135.4 pounds). This is unofficially heavier than the current IPF World Record of 503.5 kilograms (1,110 pounds). The current record was also set by Jade at the same competition where she set the Deadlift World Record.
Jade Jacob’s Training Lifts
Squat: 180 kilograms (396.8 pounds)
Bench Press: 100 kilograms (220.5 pounds)
Deadlift: 235 kilograms (518.1 pounds) — Unofficial U57KG IPF Raw World Record
Total: 515 kilograms (1,135.4 pounds) — Unofficial U57KG IPF Raw World Record

Jade Jacob has barely stepped into her 20s, so it is evident that she is still extremely young. However, she has already taken part in 18 sanctioned competitions and won nine of them. These include French National Championships and IPF Junior World Championships. Moreover, she holds multiple World Records and is now aiming to further improve them.
Jade Jacob usually competes in the 57-kilogram weight class and will look to do the same at the 2023 IPF Worlds. In addition, she hopes to win gold since only 0.5 kilograms (1.1 pounds) separated her from the winner in 2022. However, she is now outperforming the World Record. So, it is safe to say that she is the biggest favorite for the 2023 IPF World Classic Open World Championships.

Kali Muscle Claims to Eat 1 Meal a Day: ‘Everything We Learned is Fake’
Internet sensation Kali Muscle, real name Chuck Kirkendall, is on a mission to push back against the rampant use of steroids. After suffering a series of health challenges, he revamped his training and diet regimen to live a healthier life. In a recent Escaped Fitness interview, Muscle claimed he only eats one meal a day and argued against consuming too much food and bulking up.
Kali Muscle first rose to prominence for his massive build and brash personality online. Having grown up in challenging circumstances, Kali started working out as a teenager to channel his energy. He also grew up playing several different sports. Eventually, Kali found himself in trouble and got locked up in his college days but didn’t let the setback dictate his life.
Kali continued to train passionately behind bars with whatever equipment was available to him and managed to pack on the pounds before getting released in 2010. He had hopes of pursuing a career in bodybuilding and exploring the world of entertainment. He won the Mr. California contest in 2012 along with numerous appearances in music videos and more, which inspired fans given his respective Cinderella story.
In Jan. 2021, Kali joined forces with fellow social media influencer Big Boy for an intense training session at Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach, considered to be one of the Meccas of bodybuilding. The fitness stars progressed through the workout and crushed a massive set of 330-pound dumbbells made of solid gold. They later found themselves in an argument with the manager and were asked to leave the gym. Things didn’t end there as Kali nearly got into a fight outside the facility.

Kali Muscle suffered a heart attack after his left artery was said to be 100% clogged in 2021. He was hospitalized but fortunately recovered. He used the experience to change his daily routine and started cleaning up his diet for longevity. A week later, Muscle issued a stark warning to bodybuilders to not ignore the warning signs their bodies might give them. He also blamed the health scare on plaque build-up in the artery from years of eating junk food and taking gear.
The 48-year-old laid out the dangers of bodybuilding in another cautionary message in April 2022. He admitted he used to avoid blood tests and health checkups due to a fear of finding out an issue. Then, he labeled bodybuilding as the unhealthiest sport because Open athletes pursue bigger physiques.
Kali Muscle revealed how he started using gear with an off-season stack he utilized during his days of competing on stage in May 2022. While he’s not sure if steroids were the sole reason for his heart attack, he’s convinced they certainly played a role in exacerbating the condition.
Last August, Kali encouraged people to avoid competing in bodybuilding shows. He argued against bodybuilders appearing to be healthy. Then went as far as to label the competitors ‘test dummies’ that are jeopardizing their health in the sport.
Kali regretted ever getting into competitive bodybuilding after a health checkup last October. He bashed rising Men’s Open sensation Andrew Jacked and former Arnold Classic champ Nick Walker for risking their health to improve their physiques.
Kali Muscle claims to eat 1 meal a day, pushes back against bulking
In a recent YouTube video, Kali Muscle shared his thoughts on consuming too much food and bulking up. He argued against the lessons he learned about nutrition while competing.
“Everything we learned to me is fake,” said Kali. “We used to laugh at people who take supplements in prison. We ate tuna, top ramen, mackerel, and peanut butter, that’s what did it though all those bad carbs.
“It’s big now. Everybody’s starting to wake up. I’m starting to see on social media what we’ve been told we need we don’t like six meals a day, four or three a day. I’ve been on this regimen since I had my heart attack. I’m down to 195 and I love it. Crazy shredded and don’t have to depend on food.”
“We’re just caught up in this culture that bigger is better. No. Let’s go look at some people that’s 80, 90, or 100 years old. They not fat, over muscular or buff.”
Kali claims to eat 1 meal a day
Kali claimed he consumes one meal a day or two at most while avoiding supplements.
“One meal a day, two max. I’m scared of all [supplements]. I’m scared of ingesting anything.”
In Nov. 2022, Kali Muscle opened up about his reasons for retiring from bodybuilding. He believes he could’ve ended up dead if he would’ve taken the steroids recommended to him by top coaches. He stressed the need for competitors to prioritize their health instead of focusing on pleasing judges.
The outspoken fitness influencer reinforced one of his most important messages in the latest offering and will help fans reconsider their goals. In addition, his 1-meal diet plan certainly raises some eyebrows as well.

Dorian Yates Gives Stem Cell Therapy Update: “Increased Energy & Shoulder Is Definitely Better”
Legendary bodybuilder Dorian Yates led one of the most successful careers of any competitor in the IFBB Pro League’s history. Besides his stellar physique, he was renowned for his exhausting training methods. In a recent post made on Instagram, Yates shared updates after one month of stem cell treatments.
Dorian Yates emerged as the first true bodybuilding superstar from the UK in the early 90s. After dominating the regional circuit, he earned an invite to the Mr. Olympia competition in 1991, where he placed runner-up to eight-time winner Lee Haney in his debut. He secured his first Sandow trophy in 1992 and went on a dominant run that saw him defend the title successfully five times in a row against Flex Wheeler, Lee Priest, and Shawn Ray.
Yates was known for his high-intensity training techniques where he pushed himself to near failure in every training session as opposed to following a set number of reps and sets. He opened up on the mindset he kept during his decorated career in Oct. 2022. Whether it’s diet, training, or recovery, Yates did not compromise on any aspect. However, he conceded he could’ve avoided some injuries if he took things a bit easier.
Earlier this year, Yates got a health check and VO2 max test done in Brazil. He reported positive findings from the test and shared that his biological age came out between 30 and 39. Other than training frequently, he credited incorporating HIIT (high-intensity interval training) for boosting his health.
The 61-year-old left the fans stunned with a shredded physique update four months ago. He boasted his washboard abs while crushing an arms workout on a beach in Brazil. Then, Yates encouraged his fans to train efficiently and focus on optimizing hormone balance for improved quality of life.

Dorian Yates laid out the proper way to perform lat pulldowns two months ago. He stressed the importance of pulling with your elbows to take the load off your biceps and forearms. He followed up by offering some of his best high-intensity training techniques a week later.
Yates provided a breakdown on performing hamstring curls for building muscle a few weeks ago. He highlighted the need to control the movement throughout with a short squeeze at the top. Then, Yates revealed the diet and training along with the steroid cycles he utilized while in contest prep. He also credited using TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) following his retirement for helping elevate his mental health.
Dorian Yates shares update after 1 month of stem cell treatment
In a recent Instagram post, Dorian Yates shared an update a month after getting on stem cell treatment.
“An update on my treatment,” he wrote. “A month ago I had stem cell treatment with @bioxcellerator in Colombia. I’m definitely feeling the benefits and am looking forward to seeing even more great progress in the coming months.”
Yates reported feeling less inflammation and improvement in his shoulder but is yet to test out the change in his elbow and knee.
“Update on my stem cell treatment,” said Yates. “30 days ago I was at Bioxcellerator in Medellin, Colombia for my stem cell treatment I had in my right shoulder, right elbow, right hip, left knee, and the intravenous stem cells as well which hopefully just goes everywhere where it’s needed. What do I have to report on 30 days? Actually, initially within the first week, I felt less general inflammation I guess.
“Now a month in, having a sense of well being, perhaps, increased energy, and my shoulder is definitely better, my knee and my elbow I don’t really know because I haven’t really tried them out too much. My hip is improved in mobility and less inflammation. It’s not a 100 percent, which I’m hoping for by a later date in three or four months. But definitely improved and I’ll update you again at the three month mark hopefully with good news.”
Dorian Yates gave his take on the optimal time to recover from high-intensity training last month. He argued against training with high intensity for longer than 45 minutes and called on his followers to push themselves in each minute of the workout.
Yates believes squats are not a necessary exercise to include in workout plans for lower body muscle growth. He explained the need to focus on stimulating the muscle groups with resistance, which can be achieved through techniques other than squats.

Based on the latest update, Yates appears to be recovering from the injuries he picked up during his days of competition and it is only a matter of time until his health improves further from the stem cell treatment.
