WATCH: Ronnie Coleman Reacts To Crazy Lifts By Kyriakos Grizzly

WATCH: Ronnie Coleman Reacts To Crazy Lifts By Kyriakos Grizzly

Ronnie Coleman spent the time trying to figure out what Kyriakos Grizzly was working on.
Ronnie Coleman knows a thing or two about working out and different lifting techniques. He built a championship physique in the gym that led to a record eight Olympia titles. Now, Coleman has become a social media sensation sharing his insights and entertaining viewers.
During his career, Coleman built one of the best physiques of all-time. He won eight straight Sandow Trophies from 1998-2005. In bodybuilding, Coleman is still an influential voice and often shares some training tips.
Here, he did not share any tips but made some comments on what he was seeing. Coleman recently reacted to lifts made by Kyriakos Grizzly. During the video, Grizzly can be seen lifting heavy amounts of weight in many different ways. 

Ronnie Coleman: “This Is Absolutely Crazy”
Grizzly is seen in the video doing some variations of different exercises, such as a pull-up or barbell row. Ronnie Coleman made comments on the weight and what muscles could possibly be hit.
“I think he is trying to do a pull-up but he is just doing an up,” Coleman said.
“What is he working on? This is absolutely crazy sh*t I can think of to do at the gym.”

The lifts being done by Grizzly definitely got the attention of Coleman, who started to feed into the energy of Grizzly screaming all over the gym. At the same time, he admitted these were not affective movements.
“He’s just got a bunch of weight on the bar that’s hanging. He’s just lifting some heavy sh*t. He is not working out,” Coleman said.
Ronnie Coleman was a monster in the gym during his career and remains active to this day. He still puts in work on a daily basis to keep his physique and mind in shape. When he is not in the gym, Coleman can be seen reacting to some crazy videos and this certainly makes the list.
“This is him practicing his technique for going taking the sh*t. That’s all this is cause he ain’t working anything.”

PNBA Tamer Barakat’s 2022 Training Altercation to Preserve Muscle Ahead of Team USA

PNBA Tamer Barakat’s 2022 Training Altercation to Preserve Muscle Ahead of Team USA

Image via Instagram @ironbulk15
PNBA Tamer Barakat divulges the changes he’s made to his training to preserve muscle mass. 
When bodybuilders prep for shows, they have to get lean and lose body fat. Contest prep typically involves more cardio and a drastic cut in calories. While this effectively reduces your body fat, it can eat away your muscle mass. Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) athlete Tamer Barakat details his changes to his training for the 2022 natural bodybuilding season, allowing him to walk around with more muscle. 
Tamer Barakat is the reigning Classic Physique Masters champ. And he’s the first vegan natural bodybuilder to sign a multi-media contract with Generation Iron, Iron Man Magazine, and the International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA) PNBA. 
After getting in touch with Barakat, he said he’s cut down on cardio and extended his contest prep. Barakat stated:
“My prep has been very different this year then past, specifically, 
I intentionally slowed down my weekly weight loss pace goal through extending my prep period and limiting my cardio. Net outcome is a big difference is muscle mass while still achieving better conditioning then last year’s. 
Last year my weekly weight loss was 1-1.5lbs, doing cardio up to 45 minutes 6x per week which helped get shredded but did cost me some muscle mass loss, I was in prep for 9 weeks prior to my first show. Compared to this year, I stayed in prep for 15 weeks to my first show, most weekly loss was 1lb or less, my highest cardio week was 25minutes 4x per week, and overall I had more energy and stamina to lift heavier and keep my training intensity very high.”
Below is a progress picture update of Tamer Barakat comparing his show physique in 2021 versus 2022.

INBA PNBA Pro/Am Team USA 
The INBA PNBA Pro/Am Team USA natural bodybuilding competition is set to take place this upcoming weekend, September 24, 2022, in Las Vegas, NV. 
Team USA will be Tamer Barakat’s first show of the year. Tamer Barakat said for “peak week”–the week before a show where bodybuilders rigorously prep their physique–he’s been relying more on a caloric deficit and adjusting his macronutrient ratios compared to doing intense cardio. Barakat credits this strategy for substantially increasing the amount of muscle he preserves from a drastic cut. He praises his coach, Cliff Wilson, for this new contest prep strategy. 
Tamer Barakat’s Nutrition and Training 
Besides Tamer Barkat’s new training altercation to prep for Team USA and Natural Olympia, Barakat is a vegan and incorporates Olympic lifting. 
Tamer Barakat’s diet is plant-based and consists of foods such as vegan protein, oatmeal, rice, quinoa, mushrooms, salad, and tofu. 
Barakat performs a push/legs/pull split routine five days a week and changes his movements every six weeks. He said he incorporates Olympic lifting movements such as clean and jerk and snatches during the offseason since he believes it helps him gain strength and muscle.

Bodybuilding Legend Chris Cormier Speaks On Dangers Of Synthol: “You’re Destroying The Muscle”

Bodybuilding Legend Chris Cormier Speaks On Dangers Of Synthol: “You’re Destroying The Muscle”

Chris Cormier used synthol during his bodybuilding career and knows the dangers.
Chris Cormier enjoyed a career on stage that lasted over two decades and saw him compete in the best of competitions. During his career, Cormier used different substances to prepare his physique and recently spoke on the dangers of synthol.
Synthol is one of the enhancement oils that has been used to improve an athlete’s physique for years now. At the same time, it can cause some imbalances in physiques and judges have been looking for this. Synthol is a common substance used by bodybuilders.
Milos Sarcev admitted to using synthol over the course of his career. Recently, Hadi Choopan was accused of using it to enhance certain muscles. Chris Cormier discussed the dangers of the substance during a recent interview.

Chris Cormier On Synthol: “The Damage Is Real”
In a conversation on the Muscle and Fitness YouTube page, Chris Cormier took some time to discuss the damage that synthol can do.
“I actually used it in my calves before that’s why I know the damage is real. And not only that, when you get older, you need the circulation. Guess what you’re doing to the muscle, you’re damaging all of the nerves, you’re not going to have the circulation, your nervous system is going to be all jacked up. When you get older, you need that circulation,” Chris Cormier said.
Cormier used it in his calves and he explains that this is the most common place where the substance is found. The use of synthol can destroy the muscle over time.
“You’re destroying the muscle. One of the muscles that a lot of people like to do is the calves. The calves is one of the worst places you can do it because it’s slowly going to damage that muscle. That muscle is going to disintegrate, and be actually nothing in another year or two, or you know something like that.”

Chris Cormier On Enhancement Oils In Bodybuilding
Site enhancement oils have become part of bodybuilding and Chris Cormier expects that it will continue. He does not believe that it should be removed from the sport but admits that there are some difficulties.
“I think it really blurs the physique and I think you can look a lot better. You know, I’m not going to say that it’s something that can be totally wiped out but just calm down and have a little pride about you that you’re going to gain a little muscle in the gym, not in the bathroom.”
Chris Cormier has experience using these substances during his successful career and does not see any benefit when it is all said and done. The risk is not worth the reward and this is what many have said about the use of steroids as well.

Larry Wheels Crushes 15 Reps Of 495-Pound Squats While On TRT

Larry Wheels Crushes 15 Reps Of 495-Pound Squats While On TRT

Larry Wheels continues his new fitness journey and gaining strength in different ways.
Larry Wheels has made a successful career for himself showing off different feats of strength. He was not shy about his use of steroids over the years but has recently transitioned off the substances. Now, he is on Testosterone Replacement Therapy to keep his muscles in shape. Recently, Wheels went through a fitness test and continues to build strength in many ways.
In a recent training session, Wheels loaded 495 pounds on the squat bar and decided to go for as long as possible. He was able to complete 15 reps with the weight on his back. Wheels shared the video to Instagram on Monday.
In April, Larry Wheels decided to get his health checked out by a doctor. He was concerned with his heart after “abusing PEDs for 10 years.” Wheels checked out well and began to focus more on his health as time went on. Recently, he made the switch off steroids to TRT.

Larry Wheels Remains Extremely Strong In Video
Larry Wheels used knee wraps and a lifting belt while completing the reps. He also used a safety bar in order to protect his joints.
“Kicking the week off with a 495lb Ssb squat amrap.This bar is great if you have any aches or pains in your arms. In my case I get brachialis inflammation from arm wrestling and straight bar low bar squat. I kept a few reps in the take to be cautious as I haven’t done SSB squats in a while.”

Larry Wheels shared a physique update after one month of being off steroids. In the picture, he has slimmed down noticeably but remained shredded. This led to Wheels sharing his numbers following the month using different substances.
Wheels is using 175mg of TRT each week. This is far less than dosages that he is used to but Wheels has maintained his physique and strength. It is normal for his numbers to diminish a bit but he has been able to accomplish great things since transitioning off steroids.

PNBA Derek Joe’s Training Update a Week Out From Team USA

PNBA Derek Joe’s Training Update a Week Out From Team USA

Image via Instagram @djoe.hype
PNBA Derek Joe focuses heavily on posing a week out from Team USA. 
Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) Derek Joe has been honing on his posing a week out from Pro/Am Team USA, in Las Vegas, NV, on September 24, 2022. Derek Joe has been preparing for this show, which will be his final one before the king of all natural bodybuilding competitions takes place in Las Vegas on November 10-13, 2022–Natural Olympia. 
Derek Joe is the reigning Classic Physique Natural Olympia champ. And he also has a multi-media contract with Generation Iron, Iron Man Magazine, and the INBA PNBA. 
Derek Joe competed at Natural Universe, which took place in Tampa, FL, on September 3, 2022, and was the winner of the Classic Physique division. 
To prep for Team USA, Derek Joe has been practicing his posing thoroughly, a crucial part of the Classic Physique division. Derek Joe uploaded an Instagram clip of him posing and working with IFBB Pro Classic Physique competitor Stanimal De Longeaux. Joe said:
“The last couple weeks I’ve had the opportunity to work with IFBB Pro bodybuilder and Classic Physique competitor Stanimal De Longeaux and get some critique and feedback on my poses leading into Team USA with the INBA/PNBA this coming weekend on 9/24 in Las Vegas. I’m extremely grateful for him taking the time out of his day while he’s also in prep to share his knowledge and help me continue to improve my posing skill. Since we both train at @the_dragons_lair already it’s been that much easier to link up.”

Derek Joe’s Physique Update and Training 
Before INBA Colorado State on August 13, 2022, Joe finished his peak week weighing 176.6 lbs. And he said he might come in a couple of pounds lighter on the Natural Olympia stage. 
Joe’s training has switched from three days on/one day off, doing legs every eight days, to a modified German volume training. 
Before Natural Universe, Joe performed a massive leg workout, which included squats, Romanian deadlifts (RDL), and Bulgarian split squats. 
Classic Physique Division Training 
The Classic Physique division is a competitive one. Not only will Derek Joe be trying to retain his Natural Olympia title, but 3x Natural Olympia Classic Physique champ Brandon Lirio is vying for retaking the thrown. Moreover, William Long plans to compete in this division in 2023. Long said to prepare for the Classic Physique division; he turned his attention to his legs. That’s because legs weren’t essential to the Men’s Physique division (they wear board shorts). Men’s physique is the class Long dominated before transitioning to the Classic Physique division, which explains why Derek Joe places a heavy emphasis on training legs. 
Natural Olympia is less than two months away. Last year, Paul Krueger was the Men’s Bodybuilding champ. Of course, each natural athlete has their unique training regime. And it will significantly depend on what division each competitor competes in. Nevertheless, according to Krueger, bodybuilding has five crucial pillars: training, nutrition, supplementation, recovery, and mindset. 
Life Outside of the INBA PNBA for Derek Joe
Besides competing in the PNBA, Derek Joe works part-time at Lifetime Athletics in Las Vegas. He offers in-person personal training and posing and online coaching and virtual posing sessions.

Former UFC Champ Georges St-Pierre Shows His Training for One-Arm Pull Ups

Former UFC Champ Georges St-Pierre Shows His Training for One-Arm Pull Ups

This is how Georges St-Pierre is training to accomplish the one arm pull up.
Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is training to perform a one-arm pull up. The former MMA kingpin is always looking to challenge himself and post retirement he has shifted his focus new endeavors including strength training.
A martial artist trains both the physical and the mental in order to grow stronger. Georges St-Pierre is most certainly a true martial artist and is looking to improve himself after hanging up the gloves. But while he may not have an opponent to fight these days, his new challenge is pushing himself in new and intriguing ways.
These days when he’s not playing a Marvel supervillain, Georges St-Pierre is pushing his body to new physical extremes. Self-improvement is the hallmark of dedicated martial artist and St-Pierre is keen on discovering how far he can push himself. If he’s not training in the martial arts, acting, or lifting, you can be sure to find St-Pierre testing his will as he jumps into an ice bath.

In recent months Georges St-Pierre has been pushing himself to accomplish a one-arm pull up. Up until September he had been training to succeed at the feat. Unfortunately for the former UFC champ his first attempt was unsuccessful.
I had given myself an ultimatum until September to succeed in a one Arm Pull Up and I failed. I will analyze what I did wrong in my progress to not reach my goal and continue to work hard. I will not give up and give myself until the end of the year to get it.

One Arm Pull Up Training
Despite the setback Georges St-Pierre isn’t deterred. He is still planning on accomplishing the one arm pull up and he plans on doing so by the end of the year. Before that day, St-Pierre decided to show his fans and followers the kind of training he undergoes to prepare himself for the challenge.
“Alright guys, the challenge of the week. You know I’m working on doing a one-armed pullup and one of the basic exercises to do before being able to do a one-armed pullup is a dead hang for 30 seconds without letting yourself rotate. You have to always face the same direction.”

What do you think of Georges St-Pierre and his new one arm pull up endeavor?

Big Ramy Discusses Competition, Shares His Top Three Heading Into 2022 Olympia

Big Ramy Discusses Competition, Shares His Top Three Heading Into 2022 Olympia

Big Ramy shared who would be in the top-tier of his Olympia score card.
Big Ramy is at the top of the bodybuilding world after two consecutive Olympia titles. He will be fighting for his third in a row come December. During a recent conversation, Ramy took some time to discuss the competition and who he believes could finish top three at the show.
In 2020, Big Ramy dethroned Brandon Curry to win his first Olympia title. He successfully defended his title in 2021 and many believe he is the odds-on favorite to three-peat. Curry finished as the runner-up in each of the last two years.
Big Ramy began his training for the 2022 show shortly after winning in October. He admitted to not bringing his best package to the stage his last time out and it was because his prep began late. Now, he will not have that problem and will likely hit the Olympia stage shredded at an incredible size. Ramy has appeared as a guest poser sparingly over the last year but missed the 2022 Pittsburgh Pro.
There are few who can contend with the overall size of Ramy and that is why he is considered the favorite once again. So, who does Big Ramy think can finish in the top three?

Big Ramy Shares His Top Three
Big Ramy joined Dennis James on The Menace Podcast on YouTube for a conversation. He was asked by Milos Sarcev who his biggest rival is. The question changed to who would be his top three if Big Ramy was not competing in the show.
“I have to say William, Brandon, Hadi,” Big Ramy answered.
Hadi Choopan finished in third place last year and has been one of the top competitors in recent years. There are many veterans who believe that Choopan showed up in the best shape last year and could have won the title.

“I respect all of them. Hadi, his shape and conditioning is really good,” Ramy said.
William Bonac impressed many during the 2022 Arnold Classic, as he finished second to Curry. Bonac put himself in position to reclaim the Arnold Classic title and put a winning package together. He will look to keep it together heading into the Olympia.
Big Ramy continued to explain who his biggest rival is. He did not single out an competitor but focused on himself.
“Dennis asked me this question, and it’s not a political answer, I say this for a long time. It’s one words. It’s Ramy. If I am not 100%, I would be f***ed up,” Big Ramy said.

Chris Bumstead Discusses Retirement, Taking “Year-By-Year” Approach: ‘My Answer Always Is That I Want One More Olympia’

Chris Bumstead Discusses Retirement, Taking “Year-By-Year” Approach: ‘My Answer Always Is That I Want One More Olympia’

Chris Bumstead admits it was “a little foolish” to try and predict when he will retire.
Chris Bumstead has created a brand for himself and has become one of the biggest stars in bodybuilding, despite of his division. Classic Physique continues to grow and Bumstead has a lot to do with it. In a recent interview, Bumstead explained how he has changed his views a bit on retirement and is now taking a “year-by-year” approach.
Bumstead was able to take the Classic Physique Olympia title from Breon Ansley in 2019 and has not relinquished it since. He is the reigning three-time champion and will be looking for his fourth in a row come December.
On social media, Bumstead has shared many videos of diets and workouts that he uses during his prep for the biggest show of the year. In the past, Bumstead has discussed retirement but he recently changed his tone and has taken on a different approach.

Chris Bumstead Taking “Year-By-Year” Approach
Chris Bumstead was asked about his retirement during a recent interview with Muscular Development Magazine. He admitted that he is not putting a timeline on his career.
READ MORE: Why Does Chris Bumstead Take Multiple Ice Baths Per Week?
“You talked a couple years ago about retiring by 30…You’ve got a good handle on your health now. Three titles already. You’re still only 27. Do you still think ‘I need to retire by this with this many titles’ or is it more year-by-year?” Bumstead was asked.
“I’m definitely taking it more year-by-year, for sure. I think it was a little foolish to try and predict the day that I would be ready to be done. I think it’s more something now, where I’m more genuinely, my answer always is ‘I want one more Olympia.’ So people will say ‘oh, so you’re done this year?’ And I’m like ‘no. I just want one more.’”
Then depending how this year goes and I feel, mentally and physically, and afterwards if I’m excited and hungry for more, I’m going to do another. If I don’t, I won’t,” Bumstead said.

Chris Bumstead continued to explain how this mindset has allowed him enjoy competing and enjoying the moment rather than setting goals and limits.
“Having that kind of detachment that I don’t have to do it has allowed me to fall into a mindset where I get to compete and I’m more excited to. It’s something that I’m grateful for being able to do instead of something that I have to do saying ‘I have to compete and be a five-time, six-time champion.’ I get one more year at least. I’m going to give it my all. Depending on that, I might give it another one. Just enjoying the minute.”
Chris Bumstead leads the way for a division in bodybuilding that is growing, both in size and in talent. The expectations from the public can put pressure on competitors and Bumstead believes that this is one of the biggest challenges each year.
“It’s more of a mental challenge to continuously stay on top and keep doing things, and when there’s a lot of outside noise coming in constantly, the eyes are on you, expectations are on you, and that can change things for sure.”
What we do know is that Chris Bumstead will be on stage come December looking for his fourth consecutive title. Following the 2022 Olympia, we will learn a bit more about the future of Bumstead on stage.
