The Rock and his coach share some great methods to build incredible biceps.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently got into the gym for an intense bicep training session. The session featured the popular actor thrashing his biceps with preacher curls. But that isn’t the only method he uses to develop his arms.
Always looking to make improvements on his physique, The Rock made a statement with this recent workout. He admits to being obsessed with becoming stronger and maintaining his hard-won musculature.
It takes obsession and the right game plan to get in the kind of shape The Rock is in. While there are definitely other factors to include, it’s the man’s obsession with self-improvement that has pushed him to the heights he has reached. That’s not only as an actor but as an entrepreneur and a physical powerhouse as well.
Recently The Rock shared a clip of his bicep training at his Iron Paradise. In the clip shared on Instagram The Rock shares a similar message to that of famed powerlifter the all-time great CT Fletcher. You can clearly see who motivates the actor when he hits the iron.
Success at anything requires obsession — and I apply that obsession to everything I do.
In the quiet of the night.Obsession fuels the passion.Passion fuels that fucking chip on my shoulder.That chip creates the mindset.Never. Full.
Love to my big uso @c.t.ali.fletcher always droppin’ the gospel ?✊?

Iranian Hulk “Ashamed” Following Match Against Kazakh Titan, Issues Apology For Performance
Iranian Hulk was defeated in the first round in his match with Kazakh Titan.
Iranian Hulk finally got the chance to step in the ring for his debut as a boxer. It did not last long as he was defeated in the first round by Kazakh Titan. After his poor performance, Sajad Gharibi issues an apology and said he was ashamed.
The fight took place on Sunday in Dubai during the Wicked N’Bad’s white-collar boxing event. It was clear from the opening bell that Iranian Hulk was not prepared and lacked any skills that could allow him to win this fight. Gharibi was unbalanced and eventually fell to the mat and the referee called the fight in the first round.
Iranian Hulk saw his scheduled bout with Martyn Ford get cancelled back in March because of concerns with his mental health. He revealed that he was disowned by his family when the video surfaced of his face-off with Ford. Now, Iranian Hulk has issued another public statement about his career in the ring.
Iranian Hulk Apologizes For Embarrassing Loss
In a recent interview after the fight, Iranian Hulk decided to make a quick statement about his performance and to his country.
“I have nothing to say but I am ashamed and I apologize to the Iranian people,” Gharibi said.
Iranian Hulk did not have much to say following the fight but his coach went into a bit more detail. According to Mirror, his coach believes that it was a bad situation.
“I just wanted to five a brief explanation about the fight. The fight was set before Sajad came to me and he signed the contract. There was no way to cancel it unless he paid a big fine for the cancellation.
“We had a bad situation. Sajad came to Tehran for his training [but] we had a financial problem, the sponsor didn’t keep their word. In short, Sajad trained with me for only two weeks and I told him he was not ready to fight. But I had to be with him because he had to fight and somebody had to coach him.”
Iranian Hulk’s coach apologized for the performance as well. He continued to explain that he believed the boxers were at the same level but there was still a short time for preparation.
“His opponent was the same level as Sajad but Sajad couldn’t do much, I am so sorry. I tried to help him but we had a really short time for it. I hope we can fix it in the future.”

Bodybuilder Josh Crane Sacrifices His Life In Heroic Rescue Attempt
Image via Instagram @joshcrane.fit
Josh Crane, a competitive bodybuilder and Navy Veteran, dies rescuing two rafters from drowning.
Josh Crane, an NPC bodybuilder and Navy veteran was found dead downstream after sacrificing his life to save two rafters. Crane most recently competed in the 2022 Governor’s Cup. He was known for his desire to “do anything” to help those in need. He was 30 years old.
ABC10 reported on July 31st about the tragic news. Josh Crane acted immediately to help two rafters who were in need along the American River on Friday. Sadly, he did not make it out of the water after saving the two individuals.
Josh Crane was known for wanting to help people. Crane’s sister spoke with ABC10:
“My brother was a humble guy and anybody who knew him knew he had the biggest heart ever imaginable. He would do anything, He’d give you the shirt off his back and just be there,” said Jessica Crane, sister of Joshua Crane. “That’s something that I knew that he would do. No matter no matter what.”
Josh Crane’s family confirmed that Crane had organized a group of UC Davis students to go tubing on the American river. It was there that two of the students had gotten stuck near some rapids. The two individuals were stuck in tubes, while Crane was using a paddleboard. So he decided to try and help rescue them from the rapids. Crane reportedly jumped off of his paddleboard without hesitation and saved them.
“There were two females that were stuck on tubes and my brother was on a paddleboard and they were asking for help,” Josh Crane’s sister stated. “So he jumped off his paddleboard, like he would (to) help anybody, and no hesitation, no questions asked, jumped off his paddleboard and jumped in the water and got them out.”
Sadly, after rescuing the two students, Josh Crane did not make it out of the river. He was later found downstream from the San Juan Rapids, dead.
Beyond bodybuilding, Josh Crane was studying to become a doctor and was expecting to graduate in spring of 2023. As a Navy Veteran, Crane’s job took him all over the world including Camp Pendleton and as far as Japan. Crane joined the military right out of high school.
“Every minute spent with him was the best smiles and the best time, and he was my best friend, my biggest motivator, my hero… and he proved that in everything that he did,” Jessica said.
Generation Iron sends condolences to friends and family during this difficult time. This story is still developing and will be updated as more information becomes available. For more news and updates – make sure to stay tuned to the Generation Iron Fitness Network.

Danny Grigsby Completes Heaviest Raw Deadlift In Powerlifting History With 487.5kg (1,074.8lb) Lift
Danny Grigsby could be working his way toward the 500kg mark.
There has only been two men all-time who have deadlifted 500kg. Danny Grigsby looks like he has a chance to be the third — and will do it in a much different way.
Grigsby competed in the 2022 WRPF American Pro in Manassas, VA over the weekend. There were many great performances from some of the top powerlifters in the world but Grigsby highlighted the event. He completed a massive 487.5kg (1,074.8lb) raw deadlift, which is the heaviest of all-time.
This feat is nothing new for Grigsby. He held the previous mark of 440kg (970lb), which was set during the 2021 WRPF The Bucked Up Showdown. He was able to blow right past that number and approach a new milestone.
“All 3 attempts on deadlift from the meet opener 981, 2nd attempt 1,038, and 3rd 1,074. Opener moved like I thought it would, 2nd was equally fast, my third changed from initially 1060 to 1,074. This meet was about the overall total, my 3rd was just gonna be whatever I needed to secure 2300 and become 2nd all time for total at 275 behind the big man @thehulkmeyers.”
Danny Grigsby was aiming for a total of 2,300 pounds during this event. The third and final deadlift attempt was loaded with what he needed to reach this number.
Danny Grigsby: 500kg Deadlift?
Hafthor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall remain the only men who have deadlifted 500kg. Of course, the strongman parameters and powerlifting ones are far different. Grigsby did not use lifting straps or a deadlifting suit, which makes the lift even more impressive.
During the WRPF American Pro, Grigsby weighed in at 121.7kg (268.8lb) and competed in the 125kg weight class. He was successful on all eight of his lifts. Grigsby did not attempt his third bench press rep.
Over the course of his career, Grigsby has competed 15 times. He has secured 11 victories in those events. When he has not won gold, Grigsby is usually on the podium. He currently holds the deadlift world record in both the 125kg and 140kg weight classes.
It is unknown when Danny Grigsby will attempt the massive 500kg deadlift but it seems like that is what he is working toward.

PNBA Natural Olympia Champ Céline Richard on the Importance of Mind-Muscle Connection for Muscle Growth
Natural Olympia Women’s Bodybuilding champ Céline Richard discusses the importance of the mind-muscle connection for muscle growth.
When thinking about muscle hypertrophy (muscle growth), we often think about the weight you lift, the exercise you do, and the volume of your workouts. But we often forget another critical component of muscle hypertrophy. And that’s your ability to concentrate on the muscle you’re targeting during an exercise, a mind-muscle connection. Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) athlete Céline Richard explained its importance for muscle growth on social media.
Richard stated (translated to English):
“The mind-muscle connection is an internal focus, which involves directing our attention to the muscle that is working during strength training.
@psychofitness21 gives signals of concentration by touching a particular muscle, this has a positive impact on muscle stimulation and hypertrophy (muscle growth).
He uses mental cues during workouts to get his clients to focus on their muscles and movements. These cues can mean that by simply thinking about squeezing a particular muscle during an exercise, you are activating it much more effectively than just mindlessly crashing reps.”
You can see her entire social media post below.
Céline Richard competed in the Women’s Bodybuilding category and was the 2021 Natural Olympia gold medalist. Richard initially received second place. However, she was bumped to the winner after the former 2021 Natural Olympia Women’s Bodybuilding champ Jill Kolivoski failed a drug test.
Drug Testing in the INBA PNBA League
The International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/PNBA takes drug testing very seriously. Athletes are tested for drugs prohibited under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) guidelines in the off-season and in-season. Any athlete who fails a drug test will be stripped of their title, prize, and money and placed in the Hall of Shame. In addition, they’re banned from competing.
Other natural bodybuilding leagues, for example, may test for drugs. However, their methods aren’t as reliable as the INBA PNBA league. For instance, Jill Kolivoski went under the radar in a separate natural bodybuilding league, where she passed a drug test.
Mind-Muscle Connection
The mind-muscle connection is your ability to focus on a specific muscle group you’re targeting during a movement. For example, during a bicep curl, instead of thinking about the number of reps you’re performing or how much weight you’re lifting, you’ll put your attention on your biceps. And think about the contractions happening as you lift the barbell. Visualize your biceps squeezing together each and every rep. Training your brain to pay attention to the muscle you’re activating will increase muscle activation.
Although this may sound woo-woo, research supports its effectiveness for muscle hypertrophy (1). Another benefit of mind-muscle connections is that it forces you to pay attention to your form.

Andrew Jacked Looks Chiseled In Physique Update Two Weeks Out Of 2022 Texas Pro
Andrew Jacked looking “flatter than pancake” as he prepares for his pro debut.
The much-anticipated debut of Andrew Jacked in Men’s Open is right around the corner. One of the up-and-coming talents at the professional level recent shared a physique update where he is looking chiseled ahead of the 2022 Texas Pro.
Jacked caught eyes very early in his career because of his exceptional build and conditioning. He is extremely shredded with a small waist and great symmetry. Jacked has the chance to be a threat at the next level and this is what we will see moving forward. In his career, Jacked has picked up victories at the EBBF Ajman Bodybuilding and Physique Competition and Elite Pro League.
Leading up to this competition, Andrew Jacked has been working with the likes of Flex Wheeler and George Farah. This physique update came at The Dragon’s Lair in Las Vegas alongside legendary 212 competitor Flex Lewis.
Andrew Jacked Physique Update
On Sunday, Andrew Jacked hit a massive workout before sharing this update on Instagram. It is clear that he has made incredible improvements to his physique as he prepares to take on his first professional competition.
“Flatter than Pancake ? ?Awesome blessing and pleasure to have an encounter with the Big Steve @bevsgym , thanks to @flex_lewis and @milossarcev for the introduction ??.
Yesszzziirrr!!!
@officialflexwheeler@georgefarah_guruNow back to The Prep Files …”
With the help of Flex Wheeler, Jacked was able to win the overall 2022 Arnold Classic Amateur title in March. He has been training with some legendary bodybuilders in recent weeks to prepare. He shared his plans for the rest of the year as he gears up for success at the next level.
The 2021 Texas Pro was a competition won by Iain Valliere. This was one of two back-to-back victories for Valliere as he was also able to win the Tampa Pro. Jacked will have a chance to solidify his reputation during one of the biggest shows of the year.
If this physique update in any indication, Andrew Jacked will be a contender heading into the competition. There is two weeks before the show, which will take place from Aug. 12-13. There is no doubt that Jacked will put the finishing touches on what could be a championship physique.

Flex Wheeler States That His Kidney Is Starting To “Show Signs Of Failure” In Recent Health Update
Legendary Bodybuilder Flex Wheeler shares a health update with some trouble news as he announces a new hurdle he to clear.
Flex Wheeler is over two weeks out from surgery to repair a repeat rotator cuff surgery in his left shoulder. While this was supposed to be a surgery that allowed him to return home shortly after, the legendary bodybuilder remains in the hospital recovering.
Wheeler recently joined The Menace Podcast on the Muscle and Fitness YouTube page to discuss his current state. He gave a full health update, including some issues that were found in his kidneys. Wheeler began by explaining that he was originally kept in the hospital because of the pain.
“The pain from all that was crazy. They had to keep me first from the pain but then I got some sort of GI infection. I started having diarrhea for like four days straight. Being that I’m a kidney transplant patient, being dehydrated for me is not safe. Which then triggered my kidney to start having problems,” Flex wheeler explained.

Flex Wheeler has had a difficult year when it comes to health. He was hospitalized toward the end of 2021 with COVID-19 and underwent a recovery process that lasted a month. In 2019, he experienced kidney failure and blood clots. This caused his right leg to be amputated.
Two years later, Wheeler explains how his kidney has lasted 20 years and this is not the norm when a kidney is replaced.
“Still having a GI problem but mostly, it’s a kidney problem. My numbers are super unstable so they scheduled me for a kidney biopsy. The kidney is 20 years old and the average kidneys don’t last over seven years, is the average life for a kidney,” Wheeler said.
Flex Wheeler is one of the great bodybuilders of all-time, meaning he carries around great size and muscle mass. The donor that he received the kidney from was small. Because of the size of the kidney, it has seen some wear and tear over the years and is showing signs of failure.
Flex Wheeler Considers Himself A Dreamer
Flex Wheeler is one of the all-time greats in stage, despite never being able to win an Olympia title. He is a four-time Arnold Classic champion and is known for having one of the most-conditioned physiques of all-time.
Last week, Wheeler shared an Instagram post with the caption “Time To Say Goodbye To The Dreamer …” This brought up some conversations on what the meaning was.
During his interview, Wheeler was asked on what he thought about some fans thinking this was a message about suicide or depression.
“Would I really use Instagram as a platform to say that to people?”
“I consider myself a dreamer in bodybuilding and everything. I’ve done that same video again before and I would just say “The Dreamer.” If you listen to the music, the song was really powerful and I don’t really remember. I don’t wanna ruin it. They’re saying they can never have this, that they’re dreaming.”
It seems as though Flex Wheeler is in for another long battle and recovery process. Generation Iron wishes him the best and a speedy recovery during this time.

WATCH: Fitness Influencer Eric Kanevsky Asks Bodybuilders Current Height And Weight, Measures Them To Find The Truth
Eric Kanevsky took the stats of bodybuilders such as Derek Lunsford, Hunter Labrada, and Jay Cutler.
Eric Kanevsky is a popular Fitness influencer who has dabbled in bodybuilding himself. He doubles as a YouTuber who makes entertaining videos for his viewers. Because of Kanevsky’s background in bodybuilding, he knows that there are certain stats kept. He took some time to ask some elite bodybuilders their height and weight before checking for himself.
Kanevsky had a tape measure and scale with him to see if the bodybuilders were telling the truth. He approached Derek Lunsford, Hunter Labrada, and Jay Cutler to ask these questions.
Derek Lunsford
Derek Lunsford was the first target for Eric Kanevsky. He is the reigning 212 Olympia champion and one of the most discussed bodybuilders this year. Lunsford has put on incredible mass since last year’s Olympia and this has left many with doubts on if he will be able to defend his title.
Lunsford revealed his weight at about 250 and acknowledged the conversation topic of his potential switch to Men’s Open.
“My weight? We’re sitting anywhere between 250-260-pounds right now. Yeah, probably close to like 250. The thing is, people keep talking about switching divisions and stuff and there’s no weight cap in Men’s Physique, so we just put the board shorts on right?”
Lunsford also revealed that his height is about 5-foot-6. Kanevsky began his measurements and found that Lunsford was within range for both numbers. He measured at 5-foot-6 and 257.2 pounds.
Lunsford shared that he has not made a decision yet about his future. He explained that he has been at this weight before but is carrying more mass than usual.
“I’ve been 250 before. I will say, I’ve never looked like I do now at this weight, but I’ve come down from that weight to the 212 before having to shred a little bit of muscle off at that weight. I’ve proven I’ve been able to do it the last couple of years.”
Hunter Labrada
Hunter Labrada was next on the list for Eric Kanevky. During the 2021 Olympia, Labrada finished fourth and proved to be one of the top competitors in the world right now. He earned qualification to the event by winning the 2021 Chicago Pro. Labrada recently began his eight-week split that will take him into the next phase come the fall.
Labrada shared that he currently stands at 5-foot-9 and is weighing 280 pounds. As it turns out, Labrada was truthful about his weight. Kanevsky showed the scale reading 281.6 pounds.
Labrada is currently in the midst of adding even more size to his physique. He asked Kanevsky is anyone lied and admitted that pulling out a scale and tape measure was unexpected.
“Most people don’t think you’re gonna bust out a tape measure and scale, so props to you.” Labrada said.
Jay Cutler
Jay Cutler was the final bodybuilder that Eric Kanevsky approached. He began by discussing with Cutler how he has been able to maintain size in retirement. The four-time Olympia champion reveals that he has downsized a lot but maintained is arm size.
Cutler says he is weighing 230 pounds and stands at 5-foot-9.
“Is that a scale? Damn. I put on weight. What did I say, 230-pounds right?” cutler said.
The scale showed 237.8 pounds for Cutler, who admitted that he put on some weight. The experiment by Eric Kanevsky showed that bodybuilders will be within range of what they say depending on preparation.

Valdir “Synthol” Segato Dies At Age 55
Brazilian “bodybuilder” Valdir Segato, more commonly known as Valdir Synthol, has passed away at 55 years old.
Brazilian synthol user Valdir Segato has passed away at age 55, according to initial reports from Brazilian news outlet UOL News. Better known on social media as Valdir Synthol, the man was an aspiring bodybuilder who used extremely large doses of site injection oils to transform his physique into a shockingly bulbous physique of fake muscle. The news comes after various reports that medical professionals warned Segato that his synthol use could lead to limb amputation and serious health risks.
UOL News reports that family directly confirmed Valdir Segato passed away on Tuesday, July 26, 2022. Tragically, this was also the same date as his 55th birthday. The cause of death has not yet been revealed. Family indicated that Segato felt sick at his home and eventually called emergency services. He was rushed to the hospital and shortly after passed away.
Valdir Segato’s physique gained attention over social media in recent years due to the shocking and deformed nature of his fake muscles. As of this writing, he had 1.7 million followers on his TikTok. Segato claimed to have been inspired by bodybuilders Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno in his journey to transform his physique.
Beyond his internet fame, Segato has also been seen as controversial in the bodybuilding community for giving the sport negative attention – and not representative of the true nature of bodybuilding.
Valdir Segato was also featured in the Generation Iron Network feature documentary, Bigorexia. The film followed a variety of individuals who suffer from muscle dysmorphia – a need to gain extremely large muscle mass for aesthetic purposes. You can see Segato featured in the trailer below:
[embedded content]
Valdir Segato was one of many labeled “synthol freaks” who use site injection oils to shape their muscles. While there has been some rumor of slight use among actual competitive bodybuilders, Segato abused synthol so much as to fully distort his body in an inhuman way.
Unlike steroids, synthol does not actually help with muscle protein synthesis or muscle recovery. The oil solidifies under the skin as a sort of body modification. In large amounts, site injection oils like synthol can cause serious health risks.
Generation Iron previously sat down with Dr. Thomas O’Connor, also known as the Anabolic Doc, to discus the grim medical truth behind synthol use and abuse. You can watch it below:
[embedded content]
While there is no confirmation that Valdir Segato’s synthol use was directly related to his passing, Segato was repeatedly warned by doctors to stop using.
After being told to stop using synthol by his doctor, Segato insisted that he would still potentially use the site injection oil in the future. Despite having “doubled his biceps” he still wanted to be bigger.
“The doctors tell me to stop it, the advice they give me is to stop using. But it’s my decision to use it because I want to, because I like to.”

This story is still developing and will be updated as more information becomes available. Generation Iron sends condolences to friends and family of Valdir Segato during this difficult time. For more bodybuilding and fitness news, stay tuned to the Generation Iron Fitness Network.
PNBA Michael Ferencsik Compares Lifestyle Changes Vs. TRT For Raising Testosterone
Image via Instagram @michael_ferencsik
PNBA Michael Ferencsik compares lifestyle changes vs. TRT for raising your testosterone as it naturally declines with age.
Testosterone is a critical hormone that helps you build muscle mass. But there’s no denying that your testosterone levels will naturally decline as you age. Although, there are different routes you can take to keep your testosterone in normal ranges at every age decade of life. Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) Michael Ferencsik gives his views on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) vs. lifestyle changes for increasing your testosterone as you age.
Michael Ferencsik has been a PNBA athlete for 20 years and is in the PNBA Hall of Fame. Nowadays, he competes in the PNBA Men’s Bodybuilding Grand Masters category. He’s also a vegan and animal rights activist. Ferencsik recently shared his opinion on his stance on TRT or lifestyle changes for boosting your testosterone. Ferencsik said:
“As men get older, their testosterone levels MAY decline about 1 percent per year after age 30
So many of our clients are on TRT these days. At the age of 60, 70 or 80 yrs old. Their physicians have convinced them that it’s necessary and that it’s the fountain of youth.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big believer in the benefits of TRT but I’m a much bigger advocate for changing your lifestyle before committing to some pharmaceutical enhancement that you might not even need.”
PNBA Michael Ferencsik’s Stance on TRT
Michael Ferencsik isn’t against TRT for increasing your testosterone levels. He admits that as you age, your testosterone will decline – by 1% every year after 30. But he also says TRT won’t do much good for you if you don’t make lifestyle changes.
And Ferencsik believes that lifestyle changes are all many middle age men need to naturally get their T levels in a normal range, which he claims is between 280-1,100 ng/dL for men and 15-70 ng/dL for women.
Ferencsik believes that TRT can benefit some people, especially women (since he says balancing estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and testosterone is challenging). Although he points out that as a natural bodybuilder, he doesn’t believe TRT has a place in natural bodybuilding competitions.
You can see his complete statement on the topic below.
How to Boost Testosterone Naturally
As Ferencsik stated, testosterone is a sex hormone responsible for many body roles, including regulating your libido, bone mass, muscle mass, and strength. And there are many ways you can boost testosterone naturally.
Your diet, exercise regimen, and lifestyle all play a massive role in your testosterone production. Limiting processed foods and eating a balanced diet of protein, carbs, and fats from whole foods will do wonders for increasing your testosterone. Also, strength training a few times a week and getting enough sleep will boost testosterone naturally.
Also, supplementing with vitamin D or getting enough sunlight can naturally increase your testosterone. Moreover, Ashwagandha is a natural herb that may increase your testosterone levels too.
