73-Year-Old Rudy Kadlub Lands a 455-lb (206.4-kg) Unofficial Masters World Record Squat With Wraps
Despite his age of 73, Rudy Kadlub’s physical abilities remain impressive. Most people who live into their 70s do not devote their lives to sports, but Rudy finds powerlifting to be his source of youth. However, no one could have predicted how successful Rudy would get in his professional powerlifting career. Although he holds many World Records, it seems that more will follow. According to Rudy Kadlub, he recently broke the U100KG Masters (70-74) IPL World Record Squat With Wraps by lifting 455 pounds (206.4 kilograms).The current official World Record is also held by Rudy Kadlub, as he squatted 451.9 pounds (205 kilograms) at the 2021 IPL Drug Tested World Championship.A previous shoulder injury prevented Rudy Kadlub from doing squats for a while. It appears Rudy has recovered from this injury, as evidenced by his recent feat of strength.“455–3lbs over my WR. First time under the @kabukistrength Squat Bar in this training block. Shoulder felt tight but I’m happy that I could get myself into position without assistance from my training partner.”Watch the lift here:Related: 73-Year-Old Rudy Kadlub Squats An Unofficial World Record With a 454-pound (206-kilogram) LiftRudy Kadlub will soon get the chance to make this record official, as he plans to make an appearance at the 2022 USPA Oregon State Championships. This competition is set to take place on December 3rd, in Newport, Oregon.Rudy Kadlub started competing professionally back in 2006 and has steadily put in appearances over the years.

Last Updated: November 9, 2022 Analyze Lifts With less than two weeks remaining until his next competition, Rudy Kadlub is looking to put in a performance of his lifetime. In addition, since he is squatting over the World Record already, Rudy is expected to completely demolish it during the competition. He just needs to ease his way into the competition, which would allow him to perform at his maximum. This should not pose a problem to Rudy, since he has previously completed this process numerous times.
Roelly Winklaar Unsure of Bodybuilding Comeback After 5-Hr Left Shoulder Surgery: ‘We Will See’
For the past few months, bodybuilding fans have wondered about Roelly Winklaar’s retirement status after noticeably downsizing. Recently, Winklaar underwent left shoulder surgery and said his bodybuilding comeback will depend on his recovery. Winklaar, a Curaçaoan/ Dutch mass monster, turned heads the moment he started competing in the IFBB. His full chest, huge arms, and 3D musculature made him stand out even on some of the sport’s most competitive stages. Roelly was revered for his activity levels and made a career out of competing often. In fact, Roelly took his talents to the Mr. Olympia event a total of ten times. In addition to a number of Pro show victories, his best Mr. Olympia performance came in 2018. He pushed seven-time winner Phil Heath and the late Shawn Rhoden on his way to finishing third. His bronze performance also earned him the first-ever People’s Champ award. Roelly Winklaar last competed at the 2021 Romania Pro, a competition that saw him place ninth. Over time, he’s made no mention one way or another about retirement. However, speculations about him stepping away from the sport grew in Feb. after the bodybuilder showed off a massively downsized physique.More questions loomed about where his career stood in August when he was spotted training/helping William Bonac for his latest Olympia prep. Now, Winklaar is directly addressing these concerns in his latest YouTube video. Roelly Winklaar’s Downsizing Caused by Shoulder Injury, says Recovery Will Decide Potential ComebackAccording to Winklaar, his recent weight loss came as a result of not being able to train properly. “I want to explain to everybody what’s happening with me and hope everybody [don’t] ask me things. I hope everybody sees this so they don’t ask me more of what’s happening with me. I don’t train like more than a year. I don’t train anymore. Why, because I have a shoulder injury that’s [been] going on for three years. Exactly last year, I had to completely stop [training] because of too much pain. I find somebody that can fix it for me in Brazil. I want to thank Arrieta for that and the doctor too who brought me to those solutions,” Roelly Winklaar said. He added that his chances of coming back to compete will depend on the success of his latest five-hour surgery. “Everybody asking me why I lost weight, what’s happened, when will I compete again, when will I train again — it’s not allowed. I have too much pain. We will see if it will be better or not.” “I [went] to the surgery. I waited for the doctor. I’m very healthy but my shoulders don’t work with me. That’s why I needed the surgery. It’s the left shoulder and we’re going to do it [heal successfully]. I’m going to be fine again.”After the lengthy operation, Winklaar checked in to give fans a health update: “The surgery [went] perfect. Surgery is done. It was a long surgery, like five hours. To find things that no one was accepting to be there. I want to thank the doctor who helped me out with this. Let me see where it ends,” Roelly Winklaar said. “I’m done and I go home. It was successful because I don’t have the pain that I had before. I feel great. Just gonna say to the doctor [again] thanks.” Despite his struggles to train, Winklaar continues to shape up-and-coming talent in the Men’s Open division. His last collaboration saw him pump iron in the company of rising star Andrew Jacked. They pushed each other through a high-volume leg workout. Again, the workout prompted more questions about whether ‘The Beast’ will one day return to his old stomping grounds. RELATED: Roelly Winklaar Blasts Arms With Larry Wheels In Recent Training SessionBelow you can find a full list of Mr. Olympia finishes by Roelly WinklaarHaving competed against names like Phil Heath and Kai Greene, fans would love nothing more than to see Roelly Winklaar back on stage. In the coming months, Winklaar will assess his comeback chances while healing from the extensive shoulder surgery. Watch Roelly Winklaar’s full YouTube video below:

Kali Muscle: Bodybuilders Are ‘So Caught Up’ In Drugs, They Don’t Think About the late Cedric McMillan and Shawn Rhoden
Online fitness sensation Chuck “Kali Muscle” Kirkendall continues to warn against the dangers of professional bodybuilding. During a recent video, Kali shared that bodybuilders are too fixated on drugs and appeasing judges rather than preserving their health for the long term. In 2021, the sport of bodybuilding saw more athletes than usual pass away. The 2018 Mr. Olympia winner Shawn Rhoden died from suspected heart problems as well as George Peterson, whose body was found in his hotel room two days before performing at last year’s Olympia. The concerning trend from last year appeared to bleed into 2022. A slew of influential figures in the sport lost their lives over the past several months like former Arnold Classic winner Cedric McMillan, 46-year-old judge Jerry Ward, and German IFBB Pro Andreas Frey. Kali also suffered a near-death experience last November after having a heart attack. Ever since the scary ordeal, he’s been on a mission to promote health awareness in bodybuilding. In light of the growing number of deaths, Kali Muscle has been far more vocal about steroids and other dangers present in the sport. At first, his message was simple: ‘if you’re a bodybuilder, then you’re risking your life.’ Though, as time went on, his tone became more serious. He reiterated in August that bodybuilders have now become test dummies who continually risk their lives. In one of his latest videos, Kali Muscle gave an honest take on why he chose not to pursue a pro career. Kali Muscle says He’d Be Dead if He Pursued Pro Bodybuilding CareerThe popular fitness personality specified that he wouldn’t be here today if he pursued a pro career in bodybuilding.“I’m glad I didn’t go Pro bro, I’d been dead. Just being honest. I’m glad I had enough sense when I saw the list of what [drugs] to take, then I was like, ‘nah, I’m cool.’ I knew at that point, there’s just something in your spirit that tells you. You know what I mean.” Kali added that bodybuilders who are ‘caught up’ in drugs, ‘don’t hear’ or heed the warnings from himself, Shawn Rhoden, and Cedric McMillan.“If you’re caught up in it, you’re caught up in it. You don’t hear Kali Muscle, Shawn Rhoden, Cedric [McMillan], like ‘oh that ain’t going to happen to me.’ I wasn’t like that. I was really conscious of injuries and having health problems. That’s why I would get off [drugs]. Like most people, they wouldn’t get off. I would get off three months out of the year,” Kali Muscle shared. In addition to the aforementioned concerns, Kali Muscle shared that life as a bodybuilder is ‘nonstop’ and the sacrifices aren’t worth the financial rewards. “I didn’t go Pro as a bodybuilder. I’m like, ‘it’s nonstop.’ A judge is like, ‘oh I want your legs 40 inches,’ and those motherfuc**rs are doing what they got to do to get it. I ain’t never been no fuc**ng sheep or pawn, letting another fat fu** man as judge telling me how I’m supposed to get my body for hardly no money.” “Bro, $400,000! Bro, he [Mr. Olympia winners] had to spend $6 million to get $400,000,” Kali Muscle said. “None of these guys got their own supplement companies or nothing. Jay [Cutler] and Ronnie [Coleman] are the only ones.” Cedric McMillan at Arnold ClassicKali isn’t the only prominent voice in the fitness community warning against bodybuilding drugs. Earlier this week, former 1983 Mr. Olympia Samir Bannout discussed bodybuilding legend Ronnie Coleman’s 2001 dehydration health scare. Bannout added that even for experienced coaches, dialing in dehydration a week before a bodybuilding contest can be deadly. The last time fans heard from Kali he was at the hospital for over two days undergoing a series of health screenings. During the visit, he underlined that it’s not just steroids killing bodybuilders but excessive amounts of food too. He said he ‘felt sorry’ for popular names in the sport like 2021 Arnold Classic champion Nick Walker and rising IFBB Pro Andrew Jacked.Kali Muscle is urging athletes to prioritize their health before it’s too late. He hopes his recent dialogue will help promote safer bodybuilding practices moving forward.

Ryan Spann Reacts To Anthony Smith Calling Him His ‘Bitch Forever’
UFC light heavyweight contender Ryan Spann has responded to Anthony Smith’s comments regarding a future rematch.
Spann is coming off of the biggest win of his UFC career over former title challenger Dominick Reyes at UFC 281. He bounced back in a big way after defeating Ion Cuțelaba via submission earlier this year.
Spann lost to Smith in his first-career UFC main event last year in a first-round submission. There were some tense moments leading up to the fight, with some pre-fight trash talk between the two sides.
After his win over Reyes, Spann hinted at wanting someone in the Top 5, except for numbers 2-4 in the rankings. That would leave Smith at No. 5, as the top contender Glover Teixeira is set to face Jiří Procházka at UFC 282.
Smith didn’t take kindly to Spann’s indirect callout.
During a recent episode of the Believe You Me podcast, Smith blasted Spann after allegedly hinting at targeting a rematch.
“I don’t know what happened in our fight that left him with any confidence that he thinks he can still beat me or that he deserves a rematch,” Smith said. “I had him on ice skates until he was shooting takedowns, I strangled him, and then stood over his body, reminding him what he said he was going to do to me. So, he’s my bitch forever and he knows it.”
Smith hasn’t fought since a loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 277. He’s won three of his last four fights, including over Spann and Jimmy Crute.
It didn’t take long for Spann to get word of Smith’s harsh rhetoric, but he took the high road in his response.
Ryan Spann Responds To Anthony Smith’s Recent Belittling
Spann responded to Smith’s comments during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour.
“I’ve never said that man’s name,” Spann said. “We’re moving on to some other things, we got some things going on in-house right now that we’re trying to worry about. And we’re not worried about anything on the outside.
“I don’t know what his problem is, I don’t know why he’s bringing my name up. All I said was I wanted two numbers. That’s all I said…at no point have I ever called that man out. But the time will come, but right now we have some in-house things that have our attention as a team.”
Smith’s loss to Ankalaev doesn’t fully eliminate the possibility of a rematch with Spann. Although, it seems that Smith isn’t interested in running it back anytime soon.
Spann appears to be hitting his stride after the Reyes win, and he has his eyes set on title contention. As he moves up the ladder, another shot at Smith may come to fruition depending on how things play out.
