3 INBA PNBA Athletes Picked to Appear in Upcoming Bodybuilding Movie Starring Kristen Stewart: “Love Lies Bleeding”

3 INBA PNBA Athletes Picked to Appear in Upcoming Bodybuilding Movie Starring Kristen Stewart: “Love Lies Bleeding”

3 INBA PNBA athletes will be featured in an upcoming bodybuilding movie starring Kristen Stewart: “Love Lies Bleeding”
The film studio producing the upcoming release of the movie Love Lies Bleeding reached out to the International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA), looking for high-quality athletes to appear in their film: Love Lies Bleeding. This film stars the damsel in distress with vampires vying for her attention–Kristen Stewart from The Twilight Saga. Ed Harris and Dave Franco are also set to join Stewart to star. According to IMDb, the movie is “a romance fueled by ego, desire, and the American dream.”
The INBA PNBA will feature three INBA PNBA athletes: Alondra Chatman, Ire Wardlaw, and Beth White-Medina. Alondra Chatman released a statement on Instagram to inform the natural bodybuilding community and express her gratitude. Chatman stated:
“When it’s been said that things can change in an instant… today I am living proof! As a contracted athlete with the @inbapnbaglobal_official @ironmanmagazineand @generationiron, they pledge to provide opportunities for us natural athletes to get our names and faces out there more publicly.
Well, yesterday with a few short phone calls and a quick check of my schedule, I hopped on a plane to New Mexico and am currently on set with @ire_lifestylefitness and @bethwhitemedina amongst a few other female bodybuilders doing what I love for a major movie production. ?? Such an amazing opportunity! And super proud to represent Natural Bodybuilding again on the big screen.”
You can see Alondra Chatman’s post below.

INBA PNBA Athlete Opportunities
The INBA PNBA is the most prominent natural bodybuilding organization and is in constant pursuit of giving its natural athletes outstanding professional opportunities. For example, they sign PNBA athletes to multi-media contracts with the INBA PNBA, Iron Man Magazine, and Generation Iron. One of those athletes is on set for Love Lies Bleeding 2x Natural Olympia Figure champ, Alondra Chatman. 
Multi-media contracts are built to give natural bodybuilding athletes an opportunity for professional growth. Each contract offers athletes brand building (social media posts, write-ups, photoshoots), guest appearances, posing, and seminar sessions. And they’ll get Iron Man Magazine nutrition ads and endorsements. To land a contract, though, INBA PNBA athletes must be in good standing with the league and agree to World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) drug testing guidelines. 
The INBA PNBA said multi-media contracts are “an opportunity for a natural bodybuilding athlete to acquire renown and recognition in the sport of natural bodybuilding, exploiting association’s promotional campaign via the Iron Man Magazine, news and events, and the Generation Iron platform.” 
Bodybuilding and Movies 
As natural bodybuilding and the INBA PNBA continue to grow, natural athletes on the silver screen may become more mainstream. INBA PNBA athletes aren’t the first to take up movie roles. Bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger has appeared in many movie roles, including starring in The Terminator franchise. In addition, another prominent International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro bodybuilder Kai Greene has also picked up acting, among other forms of art.

Bodybuilding Legend Dorian Yates Trains Fitness Star Mike Thurston During Chest And Biceps Workout

Bodybuilding Legend Dorian Yates Trains Fitness Star Mike Thurston During Chest And Biceps Workout

Dorian Yates took Mike Thurston through an insane bodybuilding workout.
Bodybuilding legend Dorian Yates is known as one of the best bodybuilders of all-time. Many consider his back as the biggest spectacle the sport has ever seen. With his combination of size and conditioning, Yates won six consecutive Olympia titles. He remains extremely active in the gym and recently trained fitness star Mike Thurston through a chest and biceps workout.
The 60-year-old Yates has remained shredded during his retirement years. During his time off stage, he has focused on his health in many ways. Thurston decided to take on a workout with Yates in his recent video.
Thurston is a fitness star that has built a massive following on social media. He met with the bodybuilding legend at the M13 gym in Marbella, Spain for a huge workout.

Dorian Yates Shares Wisdom During Chest And Biceps Workout
Dorian Yates walked Mike Thurston through this workout and provided his wisdom during each exercise.

Decline Bench Press
Seated Chest Press Machine
Neutral Grip Incline Dumbbell Fly
Seated Dumbbell Concentration Curl
Standing EZ Bar Curl

Decline Bench Press
Dorian Yates began this workout with a medium-grip decline bench press. He explained that he likes to start chest days with a compound exercise. It depends on which day it is when Yates is determining which exercise to use first. Yates instructs Thurston to pre-exhaust certain body parts.
“Some body parts like back and legs, I do pre exhaust…I prefer to start with a compound exercise on chest,” Yates said.
While performing the exercise, Yates makes sure to work his chest over his triceps. This can be done by keeping his hands in a medium grip. This grip also makes sure that the range of motion is not limited with the grip being too far apart.
Seated Chest Press Machine
The next exercise on the list is the seated chest press machine. Yates focuses on the negative movements, as these provide results. Also, he continues to explain how different muscles react differently depending on the rest period.
“My pecs were not my strongest body part. My chest was not my strongest body part. So I used super intensity techniques, whereas my back I would just go to failure. It’s not something to be overused because it’s very stressful on your nervous system.”

Neutral Grip Incline Dumbbell Fly
Mike Thurston moved onto neutral grip incline dumbbell flys as his next exercise. Again, Yates wants to make sure that all of the work is being placed on the chest and not the triceps.
“You don’t want to lock out at the top. That’s more triceps. We’re trying to keep the tension on the pecs. You’ll notice, you’ll get to a certain point and the resistance is falling off.”
Seated Dumbbell Concentration Curl
Dorian Yates moves onto an exercise that is meant to isolate the bicep. He was extremely conditioned during his time on stage, despite his massive size. Yates is a believer in pushing some exercise uses to failure in order to exhaust the muscle. He remains interested in aesthetics in bodybuilding, as well.

Standing EZ Bar Curl
The final exercise of the day was a standing EZ bar curl. Dorian Yates has been able to remain fit in retirement and does it by maintaining his routine.
“I do the weight training to maintain my muscle mass not to try to increase it, just to maintain it at a certain level. Then, I do some high intensity cardio intervals on the bike. Something like that. Yogo or Pilates for stretching or movement.”
Mike Thurston ends the video by asking Dorian Yates to train legs with him next. In retirement, Yates has continued his passion for fitness and health. He explains how he used steroids for over 12 years and believes that bodybuilders now are pushing too many compounds.
Yates is no longer taking steroids but he has tried some other recreational drugs. He is beginning to see life in a different way but has maintained his love for the gym.

Samson Dauda is Tipping the Scales at an Insane 324Lbs!

Samson Dauda is Tipping the Scales at an Insane 324Lbs!

Samson Dauda has gotten massive in the off season.
Men’s Open Bodybuilding athlete Samson Dauda is tipping the scales at an insane 324lbs. The French bodybuilder has been posting updates to his social media channels displaying that he’s weighing 147kgs or 324lbs.
We’ve seen Big Ramy tip the scales at over 300lbs before. We’ve seen the reigning champ hit the stage at 300lbs as well. But in reality Big Ramy doesn’t look his best unless he’s a bit below that number. 300lbs is a strong base to start from, but it doesn’t necessarily mean automatic success on the bodybuilding stage. It does however mean that the athlete has a base in which they can lose enough fat and water to showcase the tons of musculature underneath.
Samson Dauda is looking very massive these days. The Open Bodybuilding competitor has recent been posting physique updates, complete with his weight results as well. The hulking Dauda is weighing in at 324lbs. That’s no small feat to accomplish. However, it does raise some questions.

In the case of Samson Dauda we’ve never seen him hit the stage at such a high weight. We also have to keep in mind that while he may be weighing a whopping 324lbs in the off season it doesn’t necessarily mean he will when he hits the stage. What’s more likely is that Dauda will be cutting from the higher weight to come in far lighter. As said before this has the major benefit of showcasing a ton more muscle under the stage lights.
Health Concerns
But not all the questions raised are positive ones. One question in particular has played in the back of everyone’s minds in recent years.
With so many bodybuilders having passed away in recent years is skyrocketing ones weight really a good idea?
Putting such massive amounts of muscle could prove detrimental to one’s health. Every human is different of course, but there’s only so much the body can take. While we don’t want to give into fear and hysterics it is something to consider in this day and age of bodybuilding.
Nevertheless, Samson Dauda is looking pretty impressive and could shock a lot of people if he’s able to use the extra muscle to his advantage. He’s been able to maintain a small waist while packing on more mass which lends his physique a more classic look. If he’s able to bring some great conditioning and posing to the stage in his next performance who knows how far Dauda could go.

What do you think of Samson Dauda weighing in at 324lbs?

Bodybuilder Petar Klancir Out For 2022 Season With Torn Bicep Tendon

Bodybuilder Petar Klancir Out For 2022 Season With Torn Bicep Tendon

Petar Klancir announced he will not compete for the rest of the year after this injury.
Men’s Open bodybuilder Petar Klancir announced on Thursday that he will be out for the remainder of the 2022 season after sustaining an injury. Klancir took to Instagram to make the original announcement and shared Friday that he tore his bicep tendon. 
Klancir has been battling different hurdles over the course of his career. Despite some struggles, Klancir has built an impressive physique leaving fans hopeful for the future. He burst onto the scene in 2017 during the San Marino Pro, showing off a physique with great conditioning and symmetry. 
Klancir has dealt with issues with his visa over the course of his career. This has kept him out of many competitions that he planned to take part in. He was able to make his way to the 2022 California State Pro, where he put on a strong showing and finished fifth. He improved upon his standing during the 2022 Mr. Big Evolution Pro, where he earned third place. 
Fans were hoping to see Petar Klancir appear on stage during the Olympia but he is now going to rehab his injury to be able to get back in the gym and train.
Petar Klancir Reveals Torn Bicep Tendon
Petar Klancir shared a quick post to Instagram on Thursday announcing that he wold be out with an injury but did not disclose information. On Friday, he went into detail on his injury.
“This week i sustained bicep injury, my right arm biceps tendon snapped ? (again). I already had the same problem 10 years ago but on the left arm. So what is the plan?
Competition season is over as I already mentioned before, next week I have appointment for MR and surgery will follow soon afterwards.Nevertheless I feel positive and I will overcome this without any struggle, maybe I can’t train arms and back but this doesn’t mean that I can’t have progress on other muscle groups, especially LEGS & ABS.”

Petar Klancir still has some time to earn his qualification to the Olympia, if he was interested, but seems as though he will need ample time to recover from this injury and get back to championship shape. After what has been a difficult 2022 campaign, fans can expect Klancir to bounce back in 2023 and share the best version of himself.

Chris Bumstead Hits Raw Quad And Hamstring Workout That Will “Toast Your Legs”

Chris Bumstead Hits Raw Quad And Hamstring Workout That Will “Toast Your Legs”

Chris Bumstead continues to improve for the Olympia and recently attacked a leg day.
Chris Bumstead is preparing to potentially win his fourth consecutive Classic Physique Olympia title. He has been sharing different workouts and diet plans over the course of his preparation. This time, Bumstead shared a killer quad and hamstring workout to build more size.
Bumstead struggled with COVID-19 earlier in the year and recently hurt his lower back. He has been taking care of the injury with a chiropractor so he can get back to full strength in the gym. In order to have the muscles recover quickly, Bumstead has also been receiving Mesenchymal Stem Cell injections.
Chris Bumstead took to his YouTube page for viewers to see. In the video, he went into detail about his different movements.

Chris Bumstead: Full Quads and Hamstrings Workout

Walking backward on elliptical machine – Warmup
Lying leg curls and Hip Abduction machine
Leg Press on Cyber Squat Press Machine
Back Extensions
Leg Extensions and Sissy Squat
Standing and seated calf raises

Warmup on Elliptical
The reigning two-time Olympia champion knows just how to hit workouts in order to succeed on stage. This warmup came about because Chris Bumstead put stress on his knees while playing basketball. There were other options that Bumstead could have hit, like sled pulls, but he did not want to put more stress on his knees.
Lying leg curls and Hip Abduction machine
Once Bumstead got his legs warmed up, he began hitting different exercises to target the hamstrings and quads. It began with lying leg curls. This is an exercise to hit the hamstrings and calves. Bumstead stayed on this machine for two sets and hit the hip abduction machine for one.
“We used to always start with quads but I’m starting with some hamstrings now. It’s easier to warm up my knees that way. It’s harder than it is to curl.”
Leg Press on Cyber Squat Press Machine
Chris Bumstead moved onto leg presses but decided to do it in a different way. He used the cyber squat press machine, which will help target the quads while avoiding stress elsewhere. He explained why he opts for this machine at times when performing the exercise.
“I’m using the Squat press because it recreates the motion of the squat a little bit naturally. But obviously, it’s a leg press so a little less stress on the joints, lower back and everything.”
Back Extensions
Back extensions were next on the list once Bumstead worked his legs hard. This is a movement that works the lower back but also gives a great stretch in the hamstrings. Bumstead explained how he makes sure to activate the gluts and hamstrings during this exercise so he does not injure his lower back on the way up.

Leg Extension and Sissy Squat Machine
The final workout for quads and hamstrings is a superset. Chris Bumstead laid out the goal of this superset was “to make these that aren’t that hard, as hard as possible, and try not to die.”
Bumstead began with leg extensions before hitting 60 sissy squats with his body positioned on the machine where his feet were locked under the pads of the machine. Bumstead makes sure to pull his body down from his quads and use the glutes to push himself all the way up.
“This is one of those things too where when you get to the end of the prep, and you’re trying to build like detail to your legs and not just size – this will help make you crispy and detailed because you have to focus too much on the mind-muscle connection.”

PNBA Bikini Athlete Kat Vera Names 3 Exercises to Tone Your Glutes

PNBA Bikini Athlete Kat Vera Names 3 Exercises to Tone Your Glutes

3x Bikini champion Kat Vera lists the 3 exercises for toned glutes. 
Glutes help give women a curvy physique, and a shapely, tone body is a big part of the judges scoring in the International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) bikini division. PNBA bikini athlete Kat Vera named the three glute exercises you should do if you want to build strong and toned glutes. Recently Kat Vera posted these glutes movements and a demonstration of her doing them on Instagram. Vera’s post said:
“A must for a juicy glute day: hip thrusts, rdls, bulgarian split squats”
You can see Kat Vera’s Instagram post below. 

Glute Exercises
The glute exercises Kat Vera suggests for toned glutes are hip thrusts, Romanian deadlifts, and split squats. 
Hip Thrusts
Hip thrusts activate muscles in your hips, glutes, and quadriceps. This movement allows you to add resistance via machine, dumbbell, resistance band, and barbell. You’ll perform this movement with your back elevated on a surface and your legs in a bent-leg position to prepare for a hip extension. 
Romanian Deadlifts
The Romanian deadlift (RDL) engages the muscles in your posterior chain–erector spinae, glutes, and hamstrings. The primary difference between this movement and barbell deadlifts is that barbell deadlifts are lifted from the floor, and RDL begins with dumbbells held in your hand at hip level. As a result, the RDL will engage more of your glutes and hamstrings compared to a barbell deadlift. 
Split Squats
Splits squats are unilateral movements, meaning single-limb exercises. Since it’s a unilateral movement, you’ll activate your core more and challenge your balance, knee, and hip stability. In addition, single-leg movements will help correct muscular imbalances in your lower limbs. Split squats are an effective exercise for targeting your quads and glutes. 
About Glutes 
The glutes are the largest muscle in your body and are responsible for hip extension, internal rotation, and abduction of your hips. In addition, your glutes play an essential part in walking, running, and jumping. Therefore, a good strength training program will include exercises targeting your glutes. 
Moreover, often, tight glutes lead to lower back pain. So aside from training your glutes through the correct exercises, it’s essential to stretch your glutes and foam roll them for mobility and to reduce lower back pain. 
Glutes in Natural Bodybuilding 
Of course, firm and toned glutes are essential in natural bodybuilding to rank well in competition. However, in some categories, your glutes will be more critical than others. For example, in the Men’s Physique class, competitors wear board shorts, so aesthetic glutes won’t be near as important as a shredded upper body. However, in the Bikini Divas class, women are wearing bikinis. Therefore, they need to have a degree of definition and toning in their glutes. 
Furthermore, muscle mass in your glutes will help women look more shapely and give them an hourglass shape, with a small waist and wide hips. That’s because building your glutes will improve women’s waist-to-hip ratio.

Mark Wahlberg took to the gym following a round of golf in the morning. He went through a strenuous warm-up routine before moving onto F45, which he claims that you can do at any level of fitness.
“Best workout in the world, the reason is anybody can do it at any level of fitness.
