Ramon Rocha Queiroz Says Chris Bumstead Is “Going To Get Surprised” At The 2022 Olympia

Ramon Rocha Queiroz believes he can compete with the three-time champion.
The Classic Physique division is growing year by year and it is because of the level of competition that keeps emerging. Chris Bumstead is the reigning three-time Olympia champion and one of the biggest stars in the sport. Bumstead believes he is destined for his fourth title but Ramon Rocha Queiroz has other plans.
Bumstead took the Olympia title away from Breon Ansley in 2019 and has not relinquished it since. Over the last three years, Bumstead has taken his brand to the next level and created something special. Queiroz is one of the fastest rising stars in the division and showed it off during recent competitions.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has referred to Classic Physique as “the future of bodybuilding.” This is because the preparation is different than Men’s Open. If the competition continues at this pace, Schwarzenegger might be right and that will show during the Olympia.

Ramon Rocha Queiroz Plans To “Surprise” Chris Bumstead
On a recent episode of OlympiaTV, Ramon Rocha Queiroz spoke on Bumstead’s comments that competitors are fighting for second place. Terrick El Guindy translated the statement from Queiroz that responded directly to the champ.
“Ramon said he disagreed with Chris Bumstead’s statement that all these guys are fighting for second, and he’s going to get surprised at the Mr. Olympia.
I’ve always been extremely strong with my arms, and that’s why my arms over developed, but right now he’s being a little more conscious of hitting the proper body parts.”

Terrence Ruffin is the reigning two-time Arnold Classic champion and has solidified himself as the No. 2 behind Bumstead over the last few years. This comes after Ansley reigned in the division, winning the Olympia two times. Queiroz is one of the up-and-coming talents in the division, along with Urs Kalecinski.
“The Classic Physique is still very volatile, and no one in that lineup can even win a show now besides us three. So even myself, you know, has to focus on yourself and stay on your game,” Terrence Ruffin said.
The 2022 Olympia will once again be an entertaining show in the Classic Physique division Ramon Rocha Queiroz has a strong physique and will be looking to surprise the field and upset Chris Bumstead.

PNBA Rich Frye Lists the Benefits of Natural Bodybuilding at 57

Image via Instagram @richfrye
PNBA athlete Rich Frye lists the benefits he’s noticed from natural bodybuilding and staying drug-free.
Some bodybuilders choose to dope while others don’t. And those in natural bodybuilding leagues such as the International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) league are prohibited from using drugs such as steroids. Although natural bodybuilders won’t be as muscular as bodybuilders that use performance-enhancers, staying natural has many benefits. PNBA Rich Frye lists the few benefits he’s experienced from natural bodybuilding at 57. 
Rich Frye competed at 2021 Natural Olympia and placed 10th in the PNBA Men’s Bodybuilding Grand Master’s class. Rich Frye said:
“Living 57 years of age Natural Competitive Bodybuilder. Benefits of being drug free, I have no injuries, no joint pain, I have a healthy sex drive, my body works efficiently. No tricks or secrets, just consistent good nutrition and training.”
You can see his Instagram post below. 

Natural Bodybuilding and Longevity 
Rich Frye isn’t the only natural bodybuilder to tout the benefits of staying natural. Many other natural bodybuilders have lauded natural bodybuilders for their healing effects. For instance, the INBA PNBA hosts the 2022 International Battle Against Cancer, inspired by INBA PNBA athletes who have battled cancer, survived cancer, or have loved ones diagnosed with cancer. And some participants overcame their struggles with the ailment through natural bodybuilding. 
Moreover, other natural bodybuilders have been able to stay in insanely good shape for decades and progressively compete at an elite level. For example, PNBA Hall of Famer Chad Martin acknowledges that there’s an anabolic window for the age that’s best for peak performance. However, he also points out that through staying “forever natural” and living a healthy and natural lifestyle free of drugs through proper training and diet, you can remain fit, healthy, and strong throughout life. He plans to compete in his 19th Natural Olympia this year. 
Another PNBA athlete, Michael Ferencsik, a vegan and animal rights activist, says that you can do many things to raise your testosterone levels naturally before considering testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). 2019 Natural Olympia Men’s Physique champion Joseph Ortiz says natural bodybuilding is the fountain of youth. 
WADA
The INBA PNBA doesn’t take its drug testing lightly. They want to ensure the safety of their athletes and just competition. Therefore, the INBA PNBA vets all their athletes through the most prestigious drug testing guidelines for professional athletes, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). 
WADA variant labs will detect drugs that may go under the radar through other testing metrics. For example, that happened to last year’s former Women’s Bodybuilding Natural Olympia champ, Jill Kolivoski, before she failed a drug test administered by the INBA PNBA (while passing one in a separate league). 
All INBA PNBA competitors who fail a drug test aministered at any time of the year, whether in-season or out of season, will be terminated from competing and have to give up their cash, prizes, and titles. Plus, they’ll be uploaded to the Hall of Shame.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Answers: Will Red Meat Destroy Your Health? | The Mike O’Hearn Show

[embedded content]

Mike O’Hearn and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon believe red meat is important for long term health – and worry about the current generation being raised on less protein.
Compared to previous decades, non-meat diet culture is more popular than ever before. Whether it is due to moral, climate, or simply health reasons – many people are abandoning red meat from their diet (and even other meat-based proteins). Mike O’Hearn believes this is the wrong direction and has always considered red meat a super food. O’Hearn is obsessed with longevity in health in fitness – so his support of red meat is shocking in modern contexts considering that even Arnold Schwarzenegger has left red meat behind.
That’s why this week O’Hearn brought in an expert to help back up his support of a red meat diet. In Generation Iron and Barbend’s latest episode of The Mike O’Hearn Show, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses the studies behind red meat and why it’s important for long term health – not a detriment.
If you’ve seen past episodes of The Mike O’Hearn Show, you’re likely already aware of O’Hearn’s stance on red meat. Counter to the rising popularity of non-red meat diets and even the growing popularity of full vegetarian and vegan diets – O’Hearn still values red meat. He has called it a super food on many occasions. And this isn’t just some past generation stubbornness. O’Hearn cares more about longevity while staying fit and muscular more than being unhealthy and a champion in the short term.
In fact, Mike O’Hearn believes that science doesn’t fully back up the concept that red meat is healthy. Modern social media (and even regular main stream media) held onto now-old studies villainizing red meat. Science has since changed and data shows that, when in combination with a healthy lifestyle, red meat is perfectly fine.
Helping him prove his point this week is Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. With 17 years of education in health science, Dr. Lyon received her doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board-certified in family medicine.She earned her undergraduate degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where she studied vitamin and mineral metabolism, chronic disease prevention and management and the physiological effects of diet composition. Let’s jump into it.

“Nutrition has become a religion”
– Mike O’Hearn

Is Red Meat Unhealthy?
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon states that red meat is not scientifically bad for your health. Contrary to modern belief, she has researched many studies that are not able to absolutely prove the dangers of red meat. Looking even wider out to all meat – protein is a very essential nutrient in your diet. Not just for bodybuilders and athletes – but for all individuals.
Protein is vital for longevity in fitness and health. As is weight training well into middle age. The more on point you are with your diet throughout younger age (including protein) – the less likely you’ll see rehabilitating decline as you get over the hill. The same is true for consistent resistance training.
Why Do So Many Experts Warn Against Red Meat?
So why is there so much messaging against red meat today? Dr. Gabrielle Lyon talks about how modern fitness and health conversation has become distorted. With the new era of social media and constant information – group think can twist scientific data into a narrative.
The biggest factor behind the fear of red meat is the rest of your fitness lifestyle. Many nutrition studies are done to to represent the average person. So in that sense, many studies will mention that the average participant is sedentary. So while there may herhaps be risks behind red meat with a sedentary lifestyle – the same may not be true if you are consistently fit.
With that in mind, perhaps fearing red meat should be less of a concern. Instead, feat or a sedentary lifestyle should be a priority.

“There is no upper limit [for eating red meat].”
– Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

So Should You Eat Red Meat?
Ultimately, on an individual basis, perhaps red meat still isn’t best for you. It’s important to evaluate your lifestyle overall honestly. Mike O’Hearn can proudly claim to eat red meat and use it a super food. But that’s also because he is one of the most consistent bodybuilders to ever live. He lives his life as fit as possible. He also doesn’t over indulge. Too much of any substance is bad – no matter what it is.
You should also consider other factors outside of health. Perhaps you want to avoid red meat (or all meat) because of moral factors behind factory farming. Or perhaps the climate impact factory farming has on the environment. That’s totally fine. If that’s the past you choose – you should be extra focused on how you get your protein properly for longevity in your health.
Unfortunately, these worries can’t be pushed off until you are older. The most important time to be focus on being healthy is in your teens and twenties. What you do in your youth will have a direct impact on your health in older age. Rather than try and course correct after problems start occurring – start getting focused now so you can feel energetic and capable well past middle age.
Wrap Up
Towards the end of the interview, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses the difference between absolute risk vs relative risk determined by research studies. She states that most research on red meat and health only report on relative risk. This means that there is not a direct one to one connection between red meat and health decline.
There are many factors that go into your health and how your diet affects it. Mike O’Hearn and Dr. Lyon believe that red meat is not pure evil. It’s not an absolute risk to have in your diet. But too much red meat, like anything, can be healthy. Also, depending on your current lifestyle and past health issues, the decision to keep or drop red meat may change.
You can watch Dr. Gabrielle Lyon’s full comments alongside Mike O’Hearn in the latest episode of The Mike O’Hearn Show above. Stay tuned every Friday for new episodes only on the Generation Iron Fitness Network or wherever podcasts are downloaded.
