The Mike O’Hearn Show: Tommy Chong Shares Schwarzenegger & Golden Era Bodybuilder Weed Stories
Episode 3: Mike O’Hearn interviews Tommy Chong about his unexpected connection to the bodybuilding world.
Tommy Chong is most famous as being part of the comedic duo – Cheech & Chong. The stoner comedies and Chong’s love of marijuana remained a staple of his personal through to today. But many people may know that Chong also had a close relationship with bodybuilding and the Golden Era bodybuilders of Pumping Iron fame. That’s why Mike O’Hearn brought on Tommy Chong for a full length interview to discuss his past, his discovery of bodybuilding, and share a few funny bodybuilding weed stories including greats like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Zabo Koszewski.
Tommy Chong might not have the physique of a bodybuilder – but his connection to the sport actually runs pretty deep. He respects greatly the focus, dedication, and mentality of the bodybuilder lifestyle. He hung out at Gold’s Gym, was trained by Vince Gironda, and spent time with the Golden Era bodybuilders such as Zabo Koszewski, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Tom Platz.
Underneath it all – Tommy Chong most connected with the work ethic that went into sculpting perfect physiques in bodybuilding. Chong came from a poor upbringing and learned how the value of hard work could bring him out of poverty and achieve the goals he set in his life. While those goals ultimately leaned towards music and comedy – he sees that same mentality displayed physically in pro bodybuilders as they build their physiques.
Mike O’Hearn took some time to discuss Tommy Chong’s childhood and struggles during his upbringing before jumping into some bodybuilding stories. Let’s jump into it.
Tommy Chong’s childhood, poverty, and rise to success
Tommy Chong grew up in Canada with very little money. Because of this – he found work wherever he could with blue collar odd jobs. His first ever job was mowing lawns at 10 years old. Chong explains when you grow up poor and live in a poor part of the country – there is always a job to be had somewhere if you are willing to put your head down and work hard.
Tommy Chong explains that this early “training” of learning to work hard while he was a kid gave him the mindset of working hard on everything he put his mind into – no matter the challenge. He considers this a big reason why he was able to succeed in music and later in comedy. It wasn’t just talent. It was hard work to make people take notice.
Tommy Chong’s family went through such hardships – that Chong eventually had to go to an orphanage for a short period of time. During that time he would find solace in being alone. That alone time allowed him to discover himself. To understand and define himself. This, in combination with the hard work, gave him focus to succeed at his endeavors.
Tommy Chong Discovering Bodybuilding
So how did Tommy Chong get into the bodybuilding world? When he was a young man, he was very small and skinny. As a teen he would play sports – but was told he would need to train to stand alongside the other athletes. So Chong found a hardcore bodybuilding gym where he could afford to train – and quickly discovered a respect and love for weightlifting.
Fast forward to Tommy Chong’s movie career and success. He purposefully wanted to move to LA so he could train at Gold’s Gym while building his film career. He would train at Gold’s Gym because it was cheap – and he enjoyed the company and mentality of the bodybuilders who would train there such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Zabo Koszewski. He would become good friends with Zabo and share a few funny exchanges with Arnold before Chong became famous:
“One time [Arnold Schwarzenegger] said to me, he said, ‘You know I look at you and – what’s wrong with your body? And I realize, you have no shoulders! And so that’s what I would concentrate on.”
Years later, when Tommy Chong was preparing for a movie. He decided to reach out to the legendary Vince Gironda for some training sessions. Because he was living a more lavish life as a movie star by this point – after some successful sessions – Chong would overpay Gironda to show his gratitude. This led to Gironda becoming Chong’s personal trainer.
A combination of these moments all led to Tommy Chong being a personality integrated into the Golden Era bodybuilding crew. He would train at Gold’s Gym, have fun laughs with the bodybuilders, and leave with a collection of great stories.
Marijuana Stories With Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Pumping Iron Bodybuilders
By this point, everyone in the bodybuilding world is familiar with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s famous scene in Pumping Iron – where he smokes a joint while wearing his “Numero Uno” t-shirt. With Tommy Chong hanging out with the Golden Era bodybuilders – Mike O’Hearn wanted to know if there were any funny weed stories that Chong could share.
Tommy Chong explains that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s actions – smoking weed openly – signaled to other bodybuilders that the effects of marijuana were helpful and not detrimental to bodybuilding. If Schwarzenegger could be the best in the world while smoking weed – so could anyone.
Chong also tells some great stories involving fun times he has had with pro bodybuilders and smoking weed – including a fun game with a bong and an eighth of weed that would bring a lot of entertainment to the Golden Era bodybuilders.
Wrap Up
Tommy Chong is a man with an interesting life, fantastically talented career, and a surprising amount of bodybuilding. We could barely cover it all in this article – so be sure to watch the full interview in our latest episode of The Mike O’Hearn Show above!

Dennis Wolf Speaks On Men’s Open vs. Classic, Bodybuilders Dying: ‘It’s Always Been This Way’
Dennis Wolf joined Jay Cutler to discuss the recent ongoings in bodybuilding.
Dennis Wolf was a popular name in bodybuilding during his time on stage. He competed in the Olympia competition 10 times and brought an incredible package year in and year out. He remains up to date and influential in bodybuilding. Recently, Wolf joined Jay Cutler to discuss some of the recent ongoings in the sport.
Wolf was able to win the 2014 Arnold Classic before a fourth-place finish at the Olympia. Of course, Cutler is one of the top bodybuilders of all-time, having won the Olympia four times throughout his career. On a recent episode of Cutler Cast on YouTube, the duo sat down to discuss different topics in bodybuilding.

Dennis Wolf on Recent Deaths: ‘It’s Happened Too Much’
The string of bodybuilders dying has hit the sport hard in recent months. This has been happening since the end of 2021 when Shawn Rhoden and George Peterson passed away suddenly. Wolf weighed in on the discussion and acknowledged that it has been happening far too often.
“There’s so many sports right. But nobody talks about what happened in the last two years. Nobody talks about how many soccer players died. They were in their 20s! Nobody is pointing at anything. It’s always been this way. Of course, the past few years, it’s happened too much.”
Bostin Loyd also passed away with heart problems. Cedric McMillan’s death really hit the bodybuilding community hard. Wolf specifically discussed a friend of his, Paul Poloczek.
“Unfortunately, even my good friend and athlete died a couple of weeks ago. Paul Poloczek. He was young man. Just 37 years old. Polish. We’ve been working together. I’m friends with a lot of my athletes. We became friends and we’ve been talking about his next surgery because the last one didn’t go well.”
Men’s Open Bodybuilding vs. Classic Physique?
The Classic Physique division is one that continues to grow in popularity year by year. The stars that compete on stage are becoming some of the biggest figures in the sport. This includes reigning three-time Olympia champion Chris Bumstead. Many have spoken about Classic Physique being a healthier alternative and that it might be taking over the sport, one being Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It is not just Bumstead that is carrying the division. Terrence Ruffin and Breon Ansley are still at the top of their game. Newcomers Ramon Rocha Queiroz and Urs Kalecinski have also shown that they are here to stay.
“It could change every year or something. Even the Olympia, it’s not like the top-five is going to stay the same. It’s not like back in the day where the top two or three guys are always fighting for the first place. Somehow the top five and top six didn’t change much right, in ten years. Right, in ten years, straight competing at the Olympia every year, I was in the top six right. So, it’s almost every time the same guys.”
Dennis Wolf continued to discuss Men’s Open at the Olympia. Big Ramy is the reigning two-time champion but it is anyone’s game heading into the competition. Wolf believes it will be who shows up with the best conditioning.
This was a controversial topic last year as many thought that Hadi Choopan was the best conditioned.
“Who brings the best condition. I mean they are all potential winners but I think Hadi Choopan is… yeah from all of these guys, who could really bring it.
If Ramy comes in better than last year, he will be one of the favorites because it’s still bodybuilding. He’s big.”

PNBA Tiffany Stosich’s Bodybuilding Transformation After Birthing Second Child
Image via Instagram @fit_with_tiff_stosich
PNBA natural bodybuilder Tiffany Stosich shares her 4-year natural bodybuilding transformation after birthing her second child.
Mothers who love fitness know the challenge of being in shape after bearing children. Unfortunately, getting and staying in shape is harder to accomplish after childbirth. However, with the right approach, you can still get into fantastic shape to become a mother. Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) athlete Tiffany Stosich is a testimony to this. She proves that you can be in good shape after conceiving children and that you can build one of the best women’s natural physiques on the planet.
Tiffany Stosich made a lot of progress with her physique over the past four years and has accomplished outstanding feats, including winning the 2020 Natural Olympia in the Women’s Pro Physique division. On June 7, 2022, she went to Instagram (IG) to encourage others about what you can accomplish with your bodies with hard work and dedication. Stosich commented:
“Don’t give up on you! More people want to take the easy route out and give up on their goals. People think I was born this way, which is far from the truth. I worked for it like everyone has to work for it. It’s doesn’t come naturally for me to be lean and have muscles. I PUT IN THE WORK! This is a 4 year transformation after having my second baby. I dedicated 4 straight years to accomplish this. I may be amazing at patience and consistency but genetics isn’t my gift. I. HAVE. NO. QUIT! How bad do you want it?”
You can see her complete transformation after having her second baby four years later below.
You can see Tiffany Stosich’s list of 4 diet mistakes people make that prevent them from losing weight here.
Fitness After Bearing Children
Although being in shape as a mother presents challenges before bearing children didn’t, as you can see, getting into shape and even excellent condition is still possible. The process may take a bit longer, but patience, consistency, and execution of a well-structured plan will get the job done–Tiffany Stosich was able to build a fantastic physique, but it took years.
Exercise after pregnancy should start slow, then slowly increase in intensity–walking is a great place to start. Experts agree it’s safe to begin an exercise routine a few days after giving birth. To get results like Stosich, we recommend weightlifting combined with a proper nutrition strategy.
INBA PNBA Bikini Mamas
The International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/PNBA league has multiple categories for all levels of fitness and bodybuilding. One of those categories is specifically for mothers, Bikini Mamas.
This class is for women who have given birth within the last three years, and it makes up three divisions that separate competitors depending on when their child was born:
Division 1: within one year of giving birth
Division 2: within two years of giving birth
Division 3: within three years of giving birth

2022 Monsterzym Pro Preview: Is Seung Chul Lee Headed Back To The Olympia?
The 2022 Monsterzym Pro will take place over the weekend!
The bodybuilding season is well underway. We are officially midway through the month of June and there are many events happening this weekend. In San Juan, the 2022 Puerto Rico Pro will take place but there will also be action in a different part of the world. The 2022 Monsterzym Pro will take place in Paradise City, South Korea with five divisions fighting for a shot in the Olympia.
The Men’s Open division will headline the event and there are some key competitors preparing to take the stage, including Seung Chul Lee. He won this competition back in 2020 and is looking to return to the biggest stage. Below, you can find a full list of competitors, along with some of the favorites to take home the Men’s Open title.
2022 Monsterzym Pro: Men’s Open Roster
Mohammad Alnsoor
Sibusio Kotelo
Jinho Lee
Seung Chul Lee
Diogo Nunes
Hwang Shin
Jang Sung Yong
Seung Chul Lee
Seung Chul Lee is the reigning champion of this event since the 2021 show did not have a Men’s Open competition. It is fair to say that he is once against the favorite heading into the weekend. He has not competed since the 2021 Arnold Classic, where he was the 10th place finisher. Chul Lee is looking to return to the Olympia for the first time since 2020. He finished 12th that year. If Chul Lee shows up in his best shape, he will likely repeat as champion.
Jang Sung Yong
Jang Sung Yong finished third at this event back in 2020. This was the last time he stepped on stage meaning that he has had plenty of time to develop his physique. In 2020, he came in a bit smaller than other competitors so it will be interesting to see the improvements that he has made. He already featured great symmetry. Sung Yong has the experience in this event and could be a dark-horse competitor over the weekend.
Mohammad Alnsoor
Can Mohammad Alnsoor take the next step in South Korea? He finished seventh at the Europa Pro last year and this put his name on the map a bit. Alnsoor has an aesthetically pleasing physique because of the definition in his back. Alnsoor is another dark-horse that can potentially make some noise if he shows up in his best shape.
Classic Physique
Sung Jin-Kang
Chang Keun Kim
Sung Kyu Kim
Yongseung Lee

How We Made The List Of Best Live Detox Brands For Liver Cleanse:
Proven ingredients
The inclusion of proven ingredients was the first thing we looked for in a liver health supplement. According to scientific evidence, vitamins, minerals, plants, and herbal extracts can all have an impact on liver function. The supplements in this article have been clinically evaluated and confirmed to be effective.
Clinically effective dosages
Many companies acquire the appropriate components but fall short on the dosages. Many liver health formulas on the market include extremely low dosages that have no effect on the body. The dosages for the liver health supplements in this list are clinically effective.
Doctor formulated
Medical advisory boards composed of medical doctors, naturopathic doctors, nutritionists, and other health professionals are present at some of the greatest supplement companies. These professionals use their medical training and experience to provide the best liver health products. Many of the liver support supplements in this list were created by doctors.
Advertised benefits
The health advantages of many liver health supplements are exaggerated. They claim that their supplements may completely cleanse the body and remove all toxic waste. Others say that their products can help people lose fifty pounds, appear ten years younger, or even cure alcoholic fatty liver.
All of these statements are overstated and unrealistic in an attempt to attract customers to spend. The supplements on this list support claims of genuine health benefits.
Reputation and transparency
Some companies have a lengthy history of producing high-quality supplements. Other manufacturers have lately entered the industry and are not yet stable. While some businesses are truthful about their ingredient sources, manufacturing locations, and doses, others are not. Our list includes supplements that support liver health from trusted companies.
Ingredients To Look For In A Healthy Liver Detox Pills:
Milk thistle
Thanks to its excellent seeds, which contain a flavonoid called silymarin, milk thistle is one of the most popular ingredients found in liver supplements for treating and detoxing the liver. Silymarin is a powerful antioxidant that safeguards the liver by enhancing liver function and detoxification. It also heals liver cells that have been damaged by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, alcohol, and drugs.
Milk thistle is used to cure alcoholic hepatitis, liver disease (cirrhosis), and viral hepatitis worldwide. Silymarin protects the liver from toxins and free radicals by serving as a gatekeeper. It binds to the surface of the liver cell and keeps free radicals out by preventing them from entering the cell. It also scavenges any toxins that have already entered the cell.
The potential of milk thistle to raise your body’s production of glutathione, the “mother of all antioxidants,” is one of its most important activities. The liver has the highest glutathione content.
Artichoke leaf
Artichoke leaf, which is widely consumed in North America, Europe, and the Mediterranean, is increasingly recognized as valuable liver support. It contains cynarin, a substance that has been shown to boost bile synthesis in the liver.
This helps various organs clean out dangerous toxins like alcohol and other substances, making detoxification procedures in the body more efficient. Artichoke leaf, like milk thistle, contains the flavonoid silymarin. Artichoke leaf also benefits overall health and well-being by assisting individuals at risk for coronary heart disease in maintaining good cholesterol levels.
Dandelion root
Dandelion root has long been utilized in traditional Chinese and Native American medicine to treat stomach and liver disorders. Herbalists now believe it can assist with acne, eczema, high cholesterol, heartburn, gastrointestinal problems, diabetes, and even cancer.
Although dandelion has been used to treat liver disorders, there is limited proof of its benefits. It needs additional research to assess whether it is safe and effective for this application.
Yellow dock root
Yellow dock root is an excellent detoxifying herb that aids in the removal of toxins from the liver and lymphatic system. According to research, it may increase the lymphatic system’s function throughout the body, enhancing the rate at which dangerous pollutants are drained out.
Many ancient blood cleansing formulas, like Essiac Tea, contain yellow dock. Yellow dock root is a diuretic that helps toxin removal by increasing the frequency of urination. It also helps to improve the rate at which waste is eliminated from the body by stimulating peristalsis and increasing mucus and water secretion in the colon.
Yellow dock is a good source of anthraquinones, which help regulate bowel motions and avoid constipation. Yellow dock root is beneficial to persons with slow digestive systems since it stimulates the bowels and speeds up bowel transit time.
Things To Look For In A Liver Health Detox Products:
Biological support for Liver detox
Detoxification is a complicated process, and the liver is at the center of it. Choosing a comprehensive liver detox supplement that supports numerous aspects and angles of detoxification is critical.
Antioxidant-rich products aid in maintaining the oxidative balance, which is essential for good liver function. Look for a supplement that boosts antioxidant levels to help fight free radicals and maintain a healthy redox balance.
Quality sourcing & reputation
When it relates to dietary supplements, transparency and quality are crucial. If you’re considering adding a liver detox supplement to your routine, do your study on the company’s quality, sourcing, and reputation. The brand should be upfront about what’s in their product and where it originates from, and the product should emphasize purity and potency.
Potential side effects
When purchasing liver detox supplements, keep in mind any potential negative effects, especially when taking big doses or taking them with medications that interact. We must be cautious of over-consuming fat-soluble supplements, as they cannot be drained out like water-soluble supplements.
The only method for the body to remove any excess is to metabolize them. If you are unsure about which supplements to take in view of any current medications you are taking, visit your doctor.
Benefits Of Detoxing Your Liver With Liver-Flushing Supplements:
Breakdown of excess fat
Did you know that nourishing and cleansing your liver can help you lose weight? This is because the liver generates bile, which is an important part of the digestive system. Bile also contains bile salts, which help break down lipids. A robust, healthy liver encourages the generation of bile, which boosts fat metabolism and aids weight loss.
Help in removing toxins
The liver’s primary role is to cleanse the blood by eliminating toxins from digested food. You not only cleanse your liver but also detoxify other organs when you make sure it’s performing properly.
Failure to support your liver might result in the accumulation of toxins that hinder vital liver activities. As a result, eliminating these toxins with focused liver support improves the liver’s overall function.
May eliminate gallstones
Gallstones are caused by the accumulation of bad cholesterol in the liver. On the other hand, a healthy liver can limit the recurrence of gallstones and even prevent them from forming in the first place. Remember that gallstone prevention is important due to the detoxification and metabolism issues that are frequently connected with them.
Protection against side Effects of prescription drugs
The liver must first break down most medications into usable metabolites. An improperly functioning liver may be overburdened by the medication load and fail to properly process the drugs, resulting in toxicity.
On the other hand, a healthy liver can efficiently complete drug metabolism activities. This speeds up your recovery and makes it easier to eliminate toxic compounds produced by medication breakdown. Use the best THC detox products to flush out weed from your system.

PNBA Natural Bodybuilder Kayla Rowling: How To Decide Between Flexible Dieting & A Strict Meal Plan
PNBA Pro Bikini Diva competitor Kayla Rowling on why she chooses natural bodybuilding and how she handles diet plan.
On June 25, 2022 – the INBA/PNBA World Championships is being held in Florence, Italy. It’s one of the larger competitions in the natural bodybuilding league giving amateurs a chance to go pro and also pro athletes a chance to qualify for the Natural Olympia later this year. Pro Bikini Diva competitor Kayla Rowling is one such athlete looking to earn qualification. In our latest GI Exclusive interview, Kayla Rowling explains her strict diet plan as she preps for the World Championships.
In just under two weeks, Kayla Rowling will be competing against some of the best in the world for qualification to the Natural Olympia. That’s why we connected via video call to check in on Rowling’s contest prep and look back at her bodybuilding origins and why she chose to go all-natural.
Kayla Rowling started competing in 2018 – but her fitness journey came much sooner. With an initial interest in cheerleading – she would work with a trainer to help improve her routines. She clearly had talent and so her trainer suggested she consider competitive bodybuilding in the Bikini division. Rowling was initially unsure – but she decided to check out a show. Her first thought – she could do this and she could do it better than many she was seeing on stage.
This started Kayla Rowling’s journey into bodybuilding. She went through many trainers to find the perfect one – and eventually landed in the INBA/PNBA natural bodybuilding league. She now looks towards the World Championships in Florence, Italy to push towards qualifying and hopefully winning the Natural Olympia.
Why Kayla Rowling Chose Natural Bodybuilding
But how did Kayla Rowling end up choosing the all-natural tested league path? There are many untested leagues, such as the IFBB, that bring in immense popularity. For Rowling, it was about the longevity of her career and her health.
“I really value longevity. And i could just see myself becoming obsessed but not in a good way if I were to take any enhancements. Because I know that’s not sustainable long term. And I personally don’t want to look like that all of the time.”
Beyond longevity – Kayla brings up an interesting point. As an athlete, she has a competition in her to succeed. She understands enough about her own competitive nature to realize that an untested league would lead her to pushing PEDs too far in order to be on top.
This, of course, matches current discourse in the larger bodybuilding conversation regarding recent untimely deaths in the sport. Many on the inside of the sport are claiming that the doses and power of PEDs are becoming stronger – and that young athletes are taking more PEDs than ever before. Kayla Rowling avoided this issue all together by focusing on a tested league to keep her own ambitions in check.
Strict Dieting vs Flexible Dieting
Kayla Rowling also goes into detail about her diet plan mentality and how she works with her coach to improve year after year. For Rowling, she focuses on an extremely strict daily diet that only changes to accommodate for optimizations to her physique. Essentially, Rowling relies 100% on her coach to give her a meal plan and she sticks to it without deviation. Her meals are rather repetitive. But much like Jay Cutler, she prefers to focus on the results rather than the joy of eating food.
This is in stark contrast to another approach that Rowling calls flexible dieting. In this method, a bodybuilder would focus on always ensuring they hit their macros – but mixing up their meal within those limits. This helps make eating less repetitive. For some, taking the variety out of food makes it harder to stick to a diet. So flexible dieting helps stay on point.
Kayla Rowling, on the other hand, can’t allow herself to be flexible. She prefers regimented meals like military drills. This is what works for her – and she thinks the biggest struggle for new Bikini Diva athletes is figuring out which style of dieting works best for success on a personal basis.
Wrap Up
Kayla Rowling goes into much more detail about he bodybuilding origins, her training and diet routines, and her life as a natural competitor. You can watch her full interview in our GI Exclusive above. You can also make sure to catch our coverage of the INBA/PNBA World Championships on June 25th, 2022. Stay tuned!
Dorian Yates Reflects On DMT Experience: ‘I Was Able To See Through The Machine Of Reality’
Dorian Yates admits that his psychedelic experience on DMT was “life-changing.”
Dorian Yates is a pioneer in bodybuilding for creating a new meaning for the term “mass monster.” Today, there is size all over Men’s Open but Yates was one of the first to bring that different level of size and conditioning. He remains influential in the sport but recently shared a post on social media in a different avenue. Yates explained his “life-changing” experiences while using Dimethyltryptamine.
Yates decided to share what he felt, along with a picture of a picture of his intense back tattoo. In a recent Instagram post, Yates explained his psychedelic experiences while on DMT. He claims that he has “a new perspective on life.”
“My first time taking DMT gave me a new perspective on life.
I felt like I had all the answers, that there was nothing to stress about.
That there was no death, no end and no beginning, that life is just a game that we’re all playing.”
Dorian Yates continued in his caption discussing how this experience changed his views on life and what he saw during this time.
“No need to take it so seriously.
I was able to see through the machine of reality.
It’s like seeing through a computer’s code and you see all these numbers.
I saw numbers and geometric shapes, like I was seeing the construct of what’s behind our reality.
Psychedelics can be powerful, life changing medicines but of course, must be taken under supervision.”
Dorian Yates: The Original Mass Monster
Dorian Yates was the topic of the Generation Iron film Dorian Yates: The Original Mass Monster. He was able to achieve the highest level of success during his time on the bodybuilding stage because of this mass.
There are only four competitors ahead of Yates when discussing the most Olympia victories of all-time. He was able to win six consecutive titles from 1992-1997 and completely dominate the sport. While the entire package was elite, Yates became known for his massive back at his peak.
What we have seen from this Instagram post is that Dorian Yates is enjoying his retirement in many ways. He has taken on psychedelics and believes that they can be used to clear your mind and give a new outlook on life.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Gets Huge Pump On Arm Day Ahead Of 75th Birthday
Arnold Schwarzenegger is still focused on his fitness at 74 years old.
When you build a reputation as the best bodybuilder of all-time, there are standards to keep up. Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing just that at 74 years old. Since his days on stage, Schwarzenegger has been successful in many avenues but he has always been dedicated to fitness. Recently, Schwarzenegger shared a workout post to social media showing off an arm day.
Schwarzenegger was preparing to speak about climate change at the Austrian World Summit. Before taking the stage to speak, the bodybuilding legend was able to get a lift in.
“Getting pumped earlier for today’s Austrian World Summit. Tune in at 3:30 AM EST – 30 minutes!”

Arnold Schwarzenegger does not post gym photos often. This was a rare occasion where he took to Twitter to share a picture while training. Despite not sharing to social media much while in the gym, it is clear that Schwarzenegger has been able to keep up with his fitness regularly.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Diet Plan
Arnold Schwarzenegger came over from Austria and completely changed bodybuilding. He completely dominated the sport for years using his massive physique and intense workout programs. Schwarzenegger is a seven-time Olympia champion, which is tied for second most all-time.
In 1980, Schwarzenegger returned to the biggest show of the year following some time off. This showed that he was able to keep himself in championship shape even off the stage. Ahead of his 75th birthday, Schwarzenegger has shown that he is still in great shape.
In February, Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed to be on an 80% plant-based diet. This is something he claims to be on for the past five years. While he continues to eat some meat, Schwarzenegger was interested in improving his overall health. Obviously, this is not a diet that Schwarzenegger followed during his time on stage given the fact that he had to build an elite physique.
It does not look like Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to stop working out anytime soon. Despite being involved in many other projects over the years, the bodybuilder still wants to keep his legendary physique in shape.

INBA Athlete Marcus Koh’s Bodybuilding Workout for a Thick Back
Image via Instagram @armbigbig
INBA athlete Marcus Koh’s workout to build a thick, dense back.
Having a broad, thick back will vastly enhance your physique. A muscular back will increase your shoulder-to-hip ratio, which will improve your V-taper. And a strong V-taper drastically enhances your body. Moreover, a powerful back will improve your posture, and since your back stabilizes your shoulder joints, it will improve your bench press too. An International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA) athlete Marcus Koh shared a bodybuilding workout to build a thicker back.
Marcus Koh is a bodybuilder for INBA Australia. He recently earned his PNBA pro card and plans to make a pro debut by the end of 2023. Koh has a goal to represent Team Australia at Natural Olympia. He shared his back workout on Instagram (IG). Koh stated:
“Here’s a Thickness focused workout! I believe everyone could use a thicker back! Never too much ✊
DBL TAP, SAVE & TRY this next time IF YOU AGREE & want/need a thicker back like I do, CG T Bar Row, CG Pulldown, Underhand Pulldown, Seated Row, Machine Row, Underhand BB Row, Hammer Curl”
You can see Marcus Koh performing the movements of his back workout below.
Marcus Koh’s Workout for a Thicker Back
Workout
All natural bodybuilders have one thing in common–they’re naturals, of course, and don’t use performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) such as steroids. However, each INBA PNBA athlete follows a different routine. For example, 2x Natural Olympia Figure champion Alondra Chatman has the back workout she does, which consists of dumbbell bent-over rows, stability ball hyperextension, and banded barbell rows, to name a few.
Benefits of a Muscular Back
Of course, in bodybuilding, a muscular ack is imperative for athletes to look good when they go on stage. However, a strong back has other benefits as well. For example, a strong back will widen your upper body, increasing your shoulder-to-waist ratio (V-taper). The more defined your V-taper is, the better your aesthetics will be.
Furthermore, you use your back for daily activities. For example, you use it to lift and carry items, and your back supports the shoulder girdle head, and neck. Although your glutes (butt) are the biggest muscle in your body, your lats (back muscle) are the second largest muscle in your body. So training this muscle is a surefire way to burn more calories and improve your body composition.
Of course, your back is essential to good posture, so training your back can help fix any back curvature. Lastly, your back prevents muscular imbalances. The back is often overlooked in male lifters since they’re usually so focused on building a thick chest. That said, a strong back will improve your bench press since it stabilizes your shoulders and helps prevent upper body imbalances–which can build an unproportioned physique and increase your chance of injury.
