Joey Swoll Calls Out Woman Hogging Machines for Supersets: “I’m Sorry You Don’t Own The Gym”
Fitness personality Joey Swoll is gaining momentum on his mission to make gyms more welcoming environments. In a recent Instagram video, Swoll called out a woman who shamed a man for trying to use one of the many machines she was hogging at the gym.
“Here’s an idea, how about instead of taking a video to make fun of this man and call him a clown to make yourself out to be a victim which you’re not, you handle it like an adult,” shared Joey Swoll.
Gym etiquette has become Swoll’s life mission as of late. Over the years, he and many others have observed bullying, harassment, and even violence at local gyms and fitness centers. He coined this problem “toxic gym culture,” and has taken to various TikTok and Instagram videos to spread his message.
In his latest endeavor, Swoll condemned the actions of a female influencer who occupied multiple machines for supersets instead of sharing the equipment in a courteous manner. In the video, a man decides to ‘work in’ and completes a set of back extensions. However, the female believes he not only crashed her video but violated her personal space a handful of times.
Joey Swoll Torches Woman for Bashing Gym-Goer & Hogging Machines: ‘You Make Yourself Out to Be the Victim, Which You’re Not’
Here is the woman’s caption for reference:
“I was using the hyperextension machine and doing sets back and forth & no lie this man was 4 inches from my ass each time I tried to finish my sets bc of how I set up My Little space to film & he so rudely went in my frame. Like sir… you clearly saw me doing something,” the influencer shared.
Swoll believes the man who used the back extension machine did nothing wrong. He added that supersetting with three or four different exercises at the gym is poor etiquette.
“So let me get this straight you’re upset with that man you call him a clown, you say that he’s rude all because he sees the back extension is open while you’re off doing 2-3 different exercises supersetting setting up your camera and he decides to use it… and because he’s in your space while you’re filming as if your video is more important than another member’s workout, it’s not.
I’m sorry, you don’t own the gym. Not to mention it’s not good gym etiquette to do three or four different exercises supersetting and hog a machine,” Swoll said. “Not everything needs to be filmed and posted on social media. The gym is a shared space there’s going to be conflict, sort it out. You need to do better mind your business,” Joey Swoll said via Instagram.
Given the sheer number of conflicts Joey has encountered during his movement, it’s evident there is still a lot of work to be done. However, his efforts got the attention of bodybuilding legend and former seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger. Back in Feb., ‘The Austrian Oak’ praised Swoll for his continued work in making gyms and exercise locations more welcoming for everyone.
Toxic gym culture affects bodybuilders as well. Last September, Charly Young, an NPC athlete, faced verbal abuse from a man who shouted at him for just taking off his shirt and posing in the gym. Swoll commended Young for his calmness and criticized the man’s angry tirade.

This isn’t the first time Joey Swoll has taken aim at filming inside gyms. Last week, the influencer made an example out of a woman for filming a workout without any respect for those around her. Following his latest effort, hopefully, in time, gyms continue to become more accepting places for people of all fitness levels.

Dorian Yates Shares Essential Chest Exercises He Used to Grow Into 6x Mr. Olympia
Legendary bodybuilder Dorian Yates carved out his own space in the sport with unconventional training methods and a massive physique. He reached the highest heights as a pro and keeps stellar level of fitness post-retirement. In a recent post made on Instagram, Yates shared his staple chest workout exercises that helped him win Mr. Olympia.
Dorian Yates stood out from the competition as a Men’s Open competitor with his impressive muscle mass, size, definition, and stellar back development. He emerged as a budding prospect from the UK who took silver in his maiden Mr. Olympia appearance in 1991.
After the exit of eight-time champion Lee Haney, Dorian came back with a vengeance and secured the coveted Sandow trophy at the 1992 Mr. Olympia. He proved to be a dominant champion who racked up six Mr. Olympia titles in a row, essentially going undefeated from 1992-1997, and stepped away after his final win in 1997.
Following his retirement, Yates continued to train regularly and promotes a healthy lifestyle. He often shares his decades of wisdom with fans so they too can level up their physiques. He revealed barbell rows with an underhand grip as his favorite exercise to craft a wide and thick back earlier this year. Then, he detailed tips on how to properly perform lat pulldowns to optimize back gains. He stressed the importance of pulling with your elbows to take the load off your biceps.

During his career, Dorian Yates went against the grain in training philosophy. While many bodybuilders utilized the traditional regimen of working out for a set number of reps and sets, he pushed himself to near failure in every training session. ‘The Shadow’ offered some valuable high-intensity training (HIT) strategies to maximize the gains two months ago. He recommended using HIT training to push through any points of stalled progress.
Yates advocated for performing hamstring curls to boost muscle growth in the lower-body weeks ago. He focused on the need to use a full range of motion while performing each rep in a controlled manner with a slow negative. He followed up by revealing his training, steroid cycles, and diet while in prep for competition and talked about using TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) after hanging up his posing trunks.
Dorian Yates shares staple chest workout exercises
In a recent Instagram post, Dorian Yates shared some of his staple chest workout exercises that helped him win six Mr. Olympia titles.
He listed decline barbell bench presses, incline presses, and Smith machine presses along with the use of rest-pause reps
“Decline barbell bench press was a staple in my routine, roughly up until 1992
,” he wrote. “After this, I switched to more incline presses and didn’t really go back to decline.
I did do quite a lot of incline smith machine presses and felt a great connection with this exercise. It’s a fixed plane of motion and you can really put a lot of emphasis on your chest here. It’s safer to go to and beyond failure too, especially with rest pause reps where you’d rack the bar and take a few deep breaths, then aim for an extra one or two reps.”
Yates also shared that incline dumbbell flyes on a low incline, incline barbell press, and dumbbell shoulder press are a part of his go-to routine.
“
Incline dumbbell flyes was another tremendous exercise that I did consistently, working up to over 50kg dumbbells! But I always did this on a low incline, about 30 degrees as this puts the chest at the forefront and helps to minimise the delt involvement. I also later did a lot of incline barbell press, you can see the footage in Blood & Guts!
I was pretty much forced to utilise the smith machine for shoulder pressing near the start of my Olympia reign.
“My training partners in the early 90s, usually Kenny and @paulbaxendale, often had a challenge to pass the giant 160lb dumbbells up to me and it was a struggle to get them into position. I scrapped dumbbell shoulder press in favour of the smith machine for shoulder press and this was a lot easier to not only set up, but to go to failure too.
It’s about making adjustments to your training and trial & error… it’s all part of the process.”
Dorian Yates argued that squats are not necessary to build muscle while laying out his four-times-a-week training plan for Mr. Olympia contests last month. He underwent stem cell treatment for his injuries and reported positive updates. Then, he gave fans a look into his two-exercise ab workout routine two weeks ago.

‘Bionic Body’ Edgard Augustin Talks Life as Amputee Athlete and His Impact in Classic Physique
Edgard John Augustin, a contender in the Classic Physique division, continues to prove himself after a lengthy hiatus. In a recent Muscular Development interview, the ‘Bionic Body’ shared his inspiring story with Ron Harris, revealing how he overcame the loss of his legs, how he motivates others, and how he adapts to challenges.
Having kicked off his IFBB Pro League tenure in 2017, Augustin started as a Men’s Open athlete. However, that quickly changed. The following year he made the change to Classic Physique, and held his own against tough lineups at the 2018 Toronto Pro (9th) and Veronica Gallego Classic (10th). In 2019, Augustin entered the New York Pro but wasn’t able to finish in the top 15. Then, he took 12th at the Toronto Pro Supershow.
And despite losing his legs in a car accident at four years old, Edgard hasn’t lost sight of his athletic goals and competitive spirit. He was out of action for three years (2020-2022) but made a statement in his return this year. Thus far, Augustin has finished 14th at the 2023 Pittsburgh Pro, then put on an impressive show at the New York Pro even though he didn’t place. His most recent contest came at the Toronto Pro Supershow in a career-best performance that saw him take fourth.
In his latest undertaking, Edgard Augustin recapped his busy season but also laid out some of the struggles he’s faced while navigating his career as an amputee athlete. In addition, he talked about his future in the sport and training without legs.
Bodybuilder Edgard Augustin Reflects on Becoming Amputee at 4 Years Old, Shares Inspiring Journey
Augustin revealed that he lost most of his legs as a result of a car accident in South America. He said his brother also lost one leg following the misfortune.
“With my family, we had a car accident when I was four years old in South America – my country. And yeah. In the car accident… you know, my legs were cut. My brother’s leg, also just one was cut also. We were so lucky to get someone to bring us to the nearest hospitals.
Then, we – I’m still here today thanks to these guys. So, now I’m 38 years old. All my life [my legs have been amputated]. Especially in America, they used to say thank you for your services because people see that I’m – yeah, like a military guy. Compared to Europe for example,” said Edward Augustin.
Training with partially amputated legs poses a unique set of challenges, especially for those who aim to develop their quads and hamstrings, like Edgard.
“It took me like one year to really practice well [with amputated legs]. You know, I used to say at four years old, it’s hard because you’re still very young but at the same time, you have so much to learn and to discover, compared to someone in my age now, losing his legs… it’s like lost. Because you already lived your life with your legs or your hands or whatever and then today, you need to learn how to [do] life again to live again without.
At four years old, you don’t really care about it. You just want to do what other kids are doing. I learned to walk quickly. I can run today. I can do bicycle, I can do whatever I want, even leg days. It took me one year in France without my family just my brother and thank God he was with me because it was very hard.”
Edgard wants to inspire his followers and fans by showing that ‘everything is possible.’ He shared how he went viral on social media and how he came up with his nickname, ‘Bionic Body.’
“He posted [a photographer] it on my Facebook page. People who didn’t know that were surprised. It’s crazy. They said you should show people that everything is possible. This is how I create my Instagram page. I remember, I was in my office with my colleague and I said okay, now we need to find a nickname. A very strong nickname. I said body… for the body, discipline, and then we said bionic because the legs look like a robot.”
“Everything started from there. And then, when I start to publish my page, it goes viral. People told me there is a disability class in bodybuilding. You should. This is how I said okay, let’s try.”
When he first began in the sport, Augustin said bodybuilding wasn’t on his radar.
“Bodybuilding was no option for me and it wasn’t in my mind. I just saw some guys, some friends of mine, since they are young, they wanted to be professional bodybuilders. It was not my case. My goal was to be fit because at the end I was not happy with my physique. This is what I always thought.”
At 38 years old, Augustin seeks longevity and wants to live a happy life after his bodybuilding career.
“I’m 38 years old. I have three kids. I really don’t care about the Mr. Olympia stage. I just don’t – I want to see my kids grow, you understand? I want to play with them. There is a life after bodybuilding. I don’t want to [build] my physique just for the Olympia stage, then what happens after? He told me we are going to do a very light prep and it was my best prep ever and my best physique ever, more is not always better.”
Even though he’s dealt with surgeries and adversity, Augustin is aiming to be the best amputee bodybuilding athlete of all time.
“My last show in 2019, in my mind, I wanted to be the best amputee athlete bodybuilder biggest everything [ever]. With my coach before, we push. We pushed the physique. Maybe that’s why I had the surgeries and stuff like that.”
In the face of adversity, athletes like Edgard Augustin continue to inspire those around him. Having gathered momentum this year, fans look forward to seeing him back on a bodybuilding stage soon.

High School Principal Shocks Students with Insane 585-lb Deadlift
The Internet has provided a launching pad for many people for both good and bad reasons. While some find fame through prank videos, others gain attention for their incredible feats of strength. In a recent video posted on Instagram, a high school principal left his students in shock by lifting a huge 585-pound deadlift in the gym.
Deadlifts are one of the most productive exercises one can perform in the training room. The compound movement takes advantage of multiple muscle groups and contributes toward increasing strength in a functional manner. For powerlifters, it’s an essential exercise that they test themselves on along with bench presses and squats. It’s also a staple for strongman athletes.
While professional contenders are expected to inspire others with their heavy lifts, there have been several instances where the inspiration came from unexpected places. In Jul. 2022, a female TikToker influencer named Alice Elizabeth left her fellow gym-goers stunned with her strength after performing a huge 264.5-lb (120-kg) deadlift for six reps. The other male members had a hard time believing how easily she could lift the heavyweight.
Rapper Blueface teamed up with social media fitness influencer Bradley Martyn for a collaborative training session earlier this year. He impressed Martyn in a major way by lifting over 300 pounds on the deadlift.
86-year-old powerlifter Brian Winslow defied his age and crushed the National and World records on the deadlift three months ago. He set the new British and world record by lifting a 171-pound deadlift in the 132 pounds category for ages 85-89 at the 2023 British Drug-Free Powerlifting Championships.
74-year-old Rudy Kadlub celebrated his latest birthday in style by scoring a new PR that would leave even the younger gym-goers envious two months ago. He recorded a massive 524 pounds (237 kilograms) raw deadlift for two reps using the sumo stance.
High School principal shocks students with an insane 585-pound deadlift
In a recent Instagram post, a high school principal left the students in shock after crushing a massive 585-pound deadlift in the school gym. The students applauded after the lift.
The man in the video from last year is Alexander Mercieca of Grissom High School in Huntsville, Alabama. He is an avid fitness enthusiast who is also a certified CrossFit trainer. He continues to train hard and lifted an impressive 550-pound deadlift for three reps with ease five weeks ago.
Reactions from the fitness community came pouring in on the clip. While many praised the man for his feat of strength, some found areas to criticize regardless.
“Teaching the students a thing about lifting,” the post captioned.
“No belt straps or even right clothes,” noted a user.
“W teacher,” wrote one.
“Only belt is to hold his pants up,” commented a user.
“No belt, no wraps, jeans and a tie….. BEAST!!!” wrote another.
“Maybe he could teach them to set the bar back down instead of dropping it,” criticized one.
“Impressive, but can he teach,” criticized another.
“He can absolutely do more,” wrote a user.
One responded, “If you can pick this up, you get an ‘A.’”
“The dad strength displayed is unreal,” commented a poster.

Legendary rapper Method Man, real name Clifford Smith Jr., of the iconic hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, encouraged his massive fanbase with a workout update by performing heavy deadlifts at the age of 52 last month.
Fitness fans took motivation from 73-year-old powerlifter Mary Duffy who managed to smash a 310-pound deadlift, over 2.5x her body weight, with chains in a training session weeks ago.
Speaking of deadlifts, Inderraj Singh Dhillon set a new IPF deadlift World Record of 851 pounds (386-kg) in the. 120-kg weight class at the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships a few days ago. Farhanna Farid achieved a similar feat after pulling a 447.5-pound (203-kg) raw deadlift in the 52-kg category to set a new all-time World Record at the same event.
The school principal’s resurfaced clip would surely give a dose of motivation to many considering the weight he lifted at an old age.

Karlina Tongotea (76KG) Sets 225.5-kg (497.1-lb) Squat World Record at 2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships
The 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships not only witnessed an array of record-breaking moments but also introduced us to some remarkable new talents in the powerlifting arena. One of those was Karlina Tongotea from New Zealand, who competed in the raw 76-kilogram weight class. Despite making her debut in one of the biggest competitions currently, Karlina outperformed some huge names to win the title. In addition, she also set a Squat IPF World Record.
Going into the competition, last year’s champion ,Jessica Buettner, and Agata Sitko were the favorites for many fans. However, Karlina Tongotea put up a perfect performance to break through to the top spot, even putting a cherry on top with a World Record.
Karlina Tongotea set a new IPF World Record with a 225.5-kilogram (497.1-pound) squat that she achieved on her third attempt. This was heavier than the previous World Record, which was also in her possession, by 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds). Karlina set the old record just a few months ago by squatting 223.5 kilograms (492.7 pounds) at 2023 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships.

Karlina Tongotea’s Full Performance
Karlina Tongotea weighed in at 75.65 kilograms (166.8 pounds) for the 2023 IPF Worlds, which was obviously the perfect bodyweight for her. She completed all nine attempts successfully, which was a necessity for her since her rivals could have taken the lead if she messed up at any point. However, Karlina gave credit to those who pushed her to the limit during the competition.

Derek Lunsford, Samson Dauda Look Huge in Update During 2023 Mr. Olympia Battle Workout
Preparations for the 2023 Mr. Olympia contest are ramping up for Open class talent. In a special Olympia TV production, Derek Lunsford and Samson Dauda gave physique updates and pushed each other with a back workout battle/posedown.
“We’re going to have – we need some intensity guys. This is not going to be a show for powderpuff training. It’s going to be hardcore, I want to see everybody going all-out. I mean this – we got to bring it today. You guys ready?” Cormier said.
Many fans believe the Men’s Open division has never been more exciting. There have also been major shake-ups in the category over the last several months. At the 2022 Mr. Olympia contest, a new hierarchy was established after Hadi Choopan claimed gold. After receiving a special invite for the Open class, former 212 Olympia Derek Lunsford proved himself with a second-place finish. This event also served as Samson Dauda‘s Mr. Olympia debut where he placed sixth.
While Lunsford decided to sit out the 2023 Arnold Classic, Dauda had other plans. With momentum from Las Vegas, Dauda brought his best to Columbus, Ohio, and ultimately defeated finalists Nick Walker and Andrew Jacked to claim gold. Veterans and figureheads of the sport took notice of his Mr. Olympia-winning potential. Athletes rep Bob Cicherillo has gone on record saying that Choopan’s biggest threats are Lunsford and Dauda.
Ronnie Coleman, a name that carries a lot of weight in the IFBB Pro League, has suggested that Lunsford will become the next Mr. Olympia champion. He specified that the former 212 winner will likely dethrone Choopan later this year. When tasked with choosing his favorite bodybuilder of this generation, Coleman said it was a tie between Lunsford and Dauda.
Meanwhile, Nick Walker, who also aims to win Mr. Olympia, doesn’t see Dauda as a concern despite losing to him in March. In ‘The Mutant’s’ opinion, the next Sandow trophy will be awarded to himself or Lunsford, depending on who brings better improvements in November. Though, for Samson Dauda, he has never been more confident, and believes with a bigger back, he can become the number one bodybuilder in the world.
Derek Lunsford, Samson Dauda Give Physique Updates & Test Limits with Back Workout Battle
Led by Chris Cormier, Lunsford, and Dauda pushed each other through a series of back workouts. Lunsford believes his back is currently better than Dauda’s. Samson, on the other hand, said he would have won the 2023 Arnold Classic even if Lunsford entered the contest.
“Yeah man, I mean back has always been my strong point. So, I figured we’d get in here today and have some fun,” said Lunsford. “Like I said, I think my back shots are my strong points, so as of right now, I would say yes [my back shots will beat Samson Dauda at 2023 Olympia] and I’m prepared to improve it for this year.”
“Bodybuilding is judged on more than just a back shot right, it’s about who is the most complete and that’s what I bring. At the same time, I know I can learn a thing or two like I’ve always done in the past, I’ve taken my opponent’s strengths and made them my own, and use the same strengths to beat them,” said Dauda. “Oh yeah [if Derek Lunsford was at the 2023 Arnold I would have beat him] damn right. I don’t back down for no one.”
Cormier predicted that there would be palpable tension during the training session since they share the same goal of wanting to become Mr. Olympia.
“I think they’re going to have to show each other who is going to be the more dominant competitor on stage. And I think it’s all going to start right here with Olympia Battle 3. I think my man [Samson Dauda] is large and in charge and I think being second at the Olympia [for Derek Lunsford] there’s going to be some tension today,” Chris Cormier said.
Find their full back workout list below:
Lat Pulldown Machine – 4 sets
Barbell Rows – 5 sets
Seated Cable Row Machine – 4 sets
Stiff Arms Pulldown Aka Straight Arms – 4 sets
Chest Supported Low Row Machine – 4 sets
“That’s the bodybuilding mentality,” Lunsford shared. “This is fun for me to come out here, train with the Arnold Classic champion Samson. It’s a big back day.”
“This is the off-season. This is bodybuilding. This is a big man’s game,” said Dauda.
Following the workout, Lunsford and Dauda removed their pump covers for a posedown. They both hit mandatory poses on command before ending the battle.
Even though Choopan hasn’t been competing in the U.S. or guest posing doesn’t mean he’s not attacking his off-season with a chip on his shoulder. Last week, ‘The Persian Wolf’ gave fans a sneak peek into the off-season physique he’s been building. In addition, Choopan continues to push himself with heavy workouts posted on Instagram.
As for Derek Lunsford, he joined his coach Hany Rambod for The Truth Podcast recently. They sat down to discuss anxiety, depression, and obstacles in the way of his 2023 Mr. Olympia prep. Despite some setbacks during the off-season, Lunsford assured his fans that ‘everything is good’ as he eyes the next stage of his preparations.
Many believe Lunsford and Dauda cemented themselves as Mr. Olympia favorites during the 2023 Pittsburgh Pro guest-posing event. Given their dedication and work ethic, fans look forward to seeing how they fare in Orlando, Florida this November.

Chris Bumstead Builds Girthy Legs With This Off-season Workout
Chris Bumstead is inching towards the fifth Classic Physique Olympia title slowly but surely. The reigning champ went through an off-season leg workout to add strength and size to his already impressive physique.
Bumstead is one of the most famous active bodybuilders and a global superstar. He is the posterboy for the Canadian bodybuilding community and has proven his worth by establishing dominance over the IFBB Pro League’s Classic Physique division. His resume includes a whopping four Classic Physique Olympia titles. After snatching it from the former champ Breon Ansley at the 2019 Olympia, Bumstead has defended the Classic Physique Olympia title at the 2020, 2021 and the 2022 Olympia.
Having reigned supreme over the division for a long time, the 28-year-old bodybuilder intends to defend the strap a few more times before calling it a career. Olympia is Bumstead’s primary focus and he is not keen on competing at other Pro shows. Having recovered from the bicep tear he suffered ahead of the 2022 Olympia, Bumstead has eased his way back into training. He recently unveiled a private gym in-the-making and shed light on the 2023 Olympia diet.
Bumstead is on the mission to win his fifth Classic Physique Olympia title in 2023. He went through a leg training session as a step in the direction of achieving the goal and posted the video on his YouTube channel. So let’s delve into the champ’s workout and see how he is building the tree-trunk legs this off-season.
Chris Bumstead goes through a full leg workout
CBum targeted all the major muscles – quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves as well as the adductor group of muscles with this training session for overall leg development. He admitted that bringing big adductors is one of the goals of his preparation this year. As a result he is putting emphasis on working the adductor muscles.
Leg Extensions
This quad isolation movement served as the beginner to the training session. Knees are without a doubt the most crucial joint for most of the lower body movements. Therefore, it is essential to maintain healthy knees to avoid subsequent derailment of your training journey. Sufficiently warming the knees up before heavy workout is one of the key elements of staying injury free.
Apart from building the quads, leg extensions are an excellent way to warm up the knee joints. However, this exercise can also be harsh on the knees if done with heavier weights without caution. CBum performed three sets of 12 reps of leg extensions to get the party started and took to the next exercise.
Hack Squats
This compound movement followed up the leg extensions in Bumstead’s leg workout. He performed hack squats on the Cybex hack squats machine. Hack squats target the same primary muscle group that the traditional barbell squats do. While quadriceps are the main target muscle of the movement, the posterior chain of muscles are heavily involved in the movement. But what separates hack squats from barbell squats is the fact that it is generally a lot safer for most people to perform as it puts far less stress on the lower back due to the angle of movement as well as the set-up.
Hack squats are not a replacement to the barbell squat but a great addition to the leg training routine. The Classic Physique king annihilated three sets of the exercise maintaining a 12 to 15 rep range and took to the next exercise.
Leg Press
To stimulate the quads and other leg muscles further, the 28-year-old phenom performed the leg press next. One of the most effective ways to build muscle and strength in the lower body, leg press compliments primary leg exercises like barbell squats really well. This compound movement targets the quads as well as hamstrings, glutes, adductors and abductors.
Leg press offers increased safety compared to free weight exercises and its variations can help emphasize different parts of the muscles. CBum cranked out three working sets of the exercises and wrapped up after doing a double drop set to failure.
Walking Lunges
This walking variation of the static lunges helps strengthen the leg muscles as well as core, hips and glutes. Additionally, this exercise can help increase the range of motion by increasing flexibility in the glutes and hamstrings. It also improves functional strength as the movement pattern resembles everyday movements like walking, sitting down, ducking down to pick an object etc.
Bumstead pushed through two sets of the exercise and shifted his focus to working the calves next.
Seated Calf Raises
While the standing calf raises work the gastrocnemius muscles in the calf region, the seated variation of the exercise works the soleus muscle which lies underneath it. CBum performed two sets of seated calf raises to failure and took to the final exercise of the day.
Hip Adduction Machine
Adductors are a group of muscles that lie on the inner side of the thigh that helps adduct (bring together) the legs. Bumstead did two sets of hip adduction on the machine to work these muscles and called it a day in the gym.
Overall, the workout included:
Chris Bumstead has fended off the competition successfully so far. While experts within the bodybuilding community predict that he can have a great run in the Men’s Open division, Bumstead does not see it as an effort that is worth making. It will be interesting to see how the remainder of his career unfolds.

Powerlifter Zac Meyers (140KG) Sets 1,077.5-kg (2,375.5-lb) Raw Total All-Time World Record Previously Held By Larry Wheels
The All-Time World Record list has altered significantly during the past week or so since many of the records were broken in the 2023 IPF Worlds. So, with one of the greatest competitions of the season taking place, Zac Meyers historic performance almost passed unnoticed. Zac competed at the 2023 WRPF King of the Cave 3, which took place on June 17th in Maryland. He partook in the 140-kilogram weight class and set a brand new 1,077.5-kilogram (2,375.5-pound) Raw Total All-Time World Record.
The previous U140KG All-Time World Record in the raw Total event was held by the iconic Larry Wheels. Known as one of the strongest people alive, Larry was the face of powerlifting at one point due to his numerous World Records. This specific one was set at the 2020 XPC Arnold where Larry landed a Total of 1,075 kilograms (2,370 pounds).
Zac Meyers Full Performance
Squat
In order to set a World Record Total, Zac Meyers had to open his performance extremely well, and he did just that. With all three of his squats moving smooth like butter, Zac’s heaviest lift in this event came out to 405 kilograms (892.9 pounds).
370 kilograms (815.7 pounds)
390 kilograms (859.8 pounds)
405 kilograms (892.9 pounds) — Competition PR
“My opener on squats was 815 then I jumped to 859 finally to the 892. Opened light to see how squats was feeling and they flew.
I feel like I had another 10-15 lbs. just gotta save it for next time”

Bench Press
The bench press is Zac Meyers’ prowess. So, it is no surprise that he once again performed well. However, he was unable to achieve perfection, having failed his third attempt. Thus, his heaviest bench came out to 285 kilograms (628.3 pounds).
272.5 kilograms (600.8 pounds)
285 kilograms (628.3 pounds) — Competition PR
Unsuccessful — 293 kilograms (646 pounds)
“Bench I hit 628 I went up to 645.9 for the ATWR full power bench but as soon as I got it in my hands my upper chest tightened up and I just racked it.”
Deadlift
Having known exactly what he needed to lift in order to set a new All-Time Total World Record, Zac Meyers warmed up on the first attempt and shot straight for the record on his second one. So, after successfully deadlifting 387.5 kilograms (854.2 pounds) for a new Total record, Zac did not even bother to try his final attempt.
370 kilograms (815.7 pounds)

“Deadlift I knew I needed 854 so I changed my opener to 815 hit it and went straight to 854 and got it.”

Frank Zane Explains How to Use Stretching as the ‘Ideal Recovery Tool’
Legendary bodybuilder Frank Zane enjoyed an immensely successful career as an IFBB Men’s Open competitor. He transformed the division’s look with his insane aesthetics. In a recent post made on Instagram, Zane explained the importance of using stretching between sets to improve results.
Frank Zane first gained attention for his stellar blend of muscle mass, detail, symmetry, and proportion. He presented one of the most aesthetic physiques in the history of the division. His narrow waist and clear v-taper helped him stand out from the competition along with his training methods of using light weights. In 1977, Zane finally managed to secure his first Mr. Olympia win and successfully defended the title two times in a row.
Zane stepped away from professional competition due to injuries after a final appearance at the 1983 Mr. Olympia. Besides bodybuilding, he graced the covers of several magazines and went up against the likes of bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robby Robinson, and Samir Bannout.
Zane did not lose his passion for fitness and continued to train in his later years. He offered some of his favorite exercises to build strong biceps and optimize tricep extensions in his late 70s in Aug. 2021. He followed up by detailing his technique for properly performing single-arm dumbbell bicep curls for maximum gains.
The 80-year-old collaborated with fitness sensation Mike O’Hearn for a Golden-era-inspired training session in Nov. 2021. He revealed the favorite exercises that he liked to utilize in his prime and took issue with the lack of focus on posing in contemporary bodybuilding. The duo reunited for another workout months later where Zane mentored O’Hearn through unconventional techniques to enhance results in the gym.
Eight-time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney praised Frank Zane for his longevity and maximizing his genetic potential last October. He backed Zane’s training methods as proof that competitors need not focus on lifting heavy weights to build muscle. Zane’s impact on the sport is palpable to this day. Former Mr. Olympia Samir Bannout invoked Zane’s example to inspire budding Open competitor Michal Krizo to work on his posing months ago.
‘The Chemist’ voiced his disapproval of modern bodybuilders overdoing steroids and using Synthol to improve their chances on stage in Dec. 2022. He revealed he stays away from using TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) and cautioned against taking too much gear.

Frank Zane explains the importance of stretching
In a recent Instagram post, Frank Zane explained how to use stretching as the ideal recovery tool between sets.
“When training a particular body part, you should do roughly ten different stretches for it during the rest periods between your sets,” wrote Zane. “Each stretch should last 15-20 seconds. After a set, you want to rest and drop your heart rate. This is the ideal recovery tool as you relax into the stretch; it saves a lot of time and keeps you warm.”

While many competitors focus on muscle size alone, Frank Zane believes adding extra weight can destroy the symmetry and proportions of a physique. He encouraged developing muscle in extremities like calves and forearms instead of rushing to enlarge the bigger muscle groups.
Zane opened up on the low-carbohydrate diet and training he utilized during his days of competition last month. He revealed he never went over 200 pounds in the off-season and avoided using diuretics due to the risk of losing too much water.
His latest offering will certainly come in handy for competitive bodybuilders and fitness fans looking to level up their aesthetic quality.

Larry Wheels Smokes 150-Lb Incline Dumbbell Bench Press for 25 Reps, Shares Ripped Update
Larry Wheels continues to make strides inside the gym ahead of his anticipated bodybuilding debut in the Classic Physique division. In a recent Instagram post, Wheels demolished 25 reps of 150-pound incline dumbbell bench press and then revealed an impressive physique update.
At just 28 years old, Larry Wheels’ strength and athletic abilities have seen him test the waters of different sports such as strongman, powerlifting, arm wrestling, and bodybuilding. And while he set his sights on a strongman return last year, Larry was forced to remove his name from the 2022 Middle East’s Strongest Man roster due to a back injury.
Last August, Wheels made a bold choice: he quit all performance-enhancing drugs and switched to only testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). He’s been honest with fans about the transition, having kept a record of his mental health, physical health, strength, and endurance while relying on TRT alone. Despite giving up a handful of compounds, Larry says his strength and moods haven’t fluctuated much since making the change.
Larry admits he was headed down a dark path nearly a decade ago when he dabbled in recreational drugs. He was introduced to TRT at 17 years old and said it saved him from experimenting further with elicit substances. Though, Wheels understands that PEDs can have a negative impact on the body as well. He showed off a photo comparison of himself using TRT versus the peak of his steroid use. The results left Wheels surprised at how the compounds seemingly aged his face.
In a change of pace, Wheels decided to dedicate his workout efforts solely to bodybuilding. Back in March, the popular influencer announced his plan to compete on stage. According to Wheels, he currently has enough size but will need to cut around 20 pounds to make the limit for Classic Physique. Looking ahead, Wheels believes he has what it takes to be competitive with some of the top names in the category.

“150×25!Changing the rep from 1-5 reps to now 8-25 has really helped my develop fullness in my chest. I stopped doing flat bench to create a better balance. I only do flat once in a blue moon nowRed and black wraps from @teampersonalrecord” Larry Wheels wrote.

In a special interview on Bradley Martyn’s Raw Talk Podcast, Wheels discussed potentially competing against the four-time Classic Physique Olympia king Chris Bumstead. While Larry tried out the Open class years ago in 2018, he mentioned that he was simply too small for the division. He doesn’t believe his size will hold him back in Classic Physique, however. And Larry’s coach is a believer. He told Wheels that he’d be competitive with top names in the category using only TRT recently.
Considering his steady physique updates and training sessions, Larry is determined to leave his mark on another sport. Wheels isn’t the only strongman veteran amid a physique transformation either. Eddie Hall, the 2017 World’s Strongest Man, has also announced his foray into the sport.
With a pair of strongmen eying the Classic Physique division, perhaps this is the start of a new trend. Regardless of his future ambitions, fans are happy to see Larry Wheels looking youthful, healthy, and energetic.
