The two can be seen standing straight up with their elbows bent at a 45-degree angle. From here, the arms are straightened out to work the tricep. O’Hearn explains how it is important to perform this exercise while standing straight up as opposed to bent over.
“You’re going to find pressure on the racks itself. Then you find out that spot there where the balance is. Your body is balanced. It’s not forcing. For me, I like that. I never liked doing cable crossovers where you’re so leaned in that your body is holding it.
It’s not an intense exercise, a very simpleexercisn. It’s a good warmup, a good opener, a good mind-to-muscle connection to start the workout.”
Skull Crushers/Push-Up Superset
The final exercise of the workout is a superset to hit all areas of the tricep. It begins with a variation of a skull crusher performed on the Smith machine. O’Hearn uses just his bodyweight when performing this exercise lowering his body under the bar and driving it up. From there, the duo goes right into incline push-ups, which are also performed on the Smith machine.

The Rock Showcases Incredible Strength With Weighted Dip Workout
The Rock looks in impressive condition while performing weighted dips.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently performed an epic arm day in the gym including some impressive weighted dips. The popular star thrashed his triceps as performed the movement with impeccable technique.
The ability to achieve greatness, to make progress and become your best self, isn’t something that can be done overnight. It takes countless hours, countless days, a supreme amount of dedication, and the willingness to fall down on your face and get back up every time. It can be as simple as achieving small victories consistently over time that can see help person become their best selves. This is what we see out of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Before he was the popular actor and entrepreneur that he is today, The Rock start out with his own unique struggles. Before he became a WWE wrestling superstar, The Rock was on track to becoming an NFL football player. But like so many plans of bright eyed young folk, it wasn’t meant to be. But his failure to become an NFL star led him to becoming the man that he is today. Who is that exactly? It’s a man who consistently looks to improve himself day after day. This speaks to the rock as both an entertainer and as an athlete.
Epic Triceps Training
A recent training video of The Rock showcases the talented actor and entrepreneur performing weighted dips. It is certainly a difficult exercise to perform, but like most other things, the rock tackles it with a certain level of intensity mixed with humility.
Saturday night.Burnin’ the midnight oil.The chip on this shoulder never goes away.
The Rock is just a man. A well-built, athletic, multifaceted and talented man, but a man nonetheless. Yet he is able to perform these difficult tasks and make them look easy. It’s not that the tasks themselves are easy, but that The Rock is able to consistently push himself to get into the gym and do the things that many others won’t. It’s that consistency that has allowed him to become one of the most popular figures in the world today and a world class athlete even into his 40s.
This was another of many feats that the rock has been able to accomplish over the course of his career as an athlete. Perhaps what makes these training sessions so Epic is the fact that the rock isn’t shy about pushing himself in a way many actors wouldn’t. With all that money, fame, and success it would be easy for him to get lazy, complacent, and rest on his laurels. Instead, The Rock continues to push himself and you can’t help but be motivated by that.

PNBA Hall of Famer Chad Martin Discusses Your Anabolic Window in Natural Bodybuilding
PNBA athlete Chad Martin talks about the short window you have in life where your testosterone is highest and recovery is best.
The Longevity Muscle Podcast sat down with Chad Martin. Martin is a 3x USA champion, 7x World Heavyweight champion, Professional Natural Bodybuilding (PNBA) Hall of Fame Inductee, and 19x Natural Olympia contestant.
The Longevity Muscle Podcast summarized what they discussed in the part II segment of their interview with Chad Martin on social media. They said:
“In this 2 part episode @chadmartinhof and @kennyratatsidisdiscuss many topics related to natural bodybuilding including how Chad’s training has evolved into his 50’s vs when he first began competing back in the 90’s!
Calisthenics for bodybuilding, gymnastics (example & shout out to @inbapnbaglobal_official pro natural bodybuilder @mitchjarv) the role of genetics vs hard work in bodybuilding, the importance of a great training environment, progressive overload, heavy weight/low reps vs light weight/high reps for building muscle, baseball and going to the pros and so much more.”
The Longevity Muscle Podcast’s Instagram statement regarding their interview with Chad Martin is below.
Training As You Age and Anabolic Window
In part I of the Longevity Muscle Podcast interview with Chad Martin, Martin talked about his past natural bodybuilding competitions and training philosophy, including explaining his “Tetris Ten” training methodology to prep for shows.
In part II of the interview, Martin discussed training at different points in life. Martin stated that everyone has a window where their hormones are best for training. Martin voiced:
“You only have these windows so many times in your life. Especially with testosterone and hormones. You only have this window once. You’re only 18, 19, 20 once. That teenage years and the years when you’re a twenty-year-old. You have this window where your testosterone levels are incredible. Your recovery rate is incredible.”
Chad Martin tells young guys that they don’t need to take anything. Because their anabolic hormones are functioning so well at that age. Martin expressed:
“If you literally train hard and eat decently, you can still eat tons of crap food at those ages. You can get away with it.”
Moreover, he believes that the most challenging part about training when you get older is holding on to muscle mass, compared to being lean. He said in his mid-40s, he started noticing a decline in muscle mass. That’s why Martin still trains with heavy weights. But, Martin asserted, “I’ve never been a high rep guy. To me, it never made sense. It was like basically doing a lot of cardio.”
Chad Martin on Why He Sticks With the INBA PNBA
Martin also dived into why he stuck with the INBA PNBA and didn’t try any other natural bodybuilding organization. Martin responded:
“The other ones, I know they’re trying. I know they have some testing. But you would never hear about guys testing positive. You know where at least with the INBA PNBA, they would post it up there, and it would almost every time be a lifetime ban.”
And Martin admits that because of the strict drug testing protocol of a failed drug test in the INBA PNBA (stripped from your title and prize money and placed in the Hall of Shame). As a result, some natural bodybuilders choose not to compete in the organization since they’re more likely to slip through the cracks in other leagues.

Flex Wheeler Undergoes Repeat Rotator Cuff Surgery In Left Shoulder
Flex Wheeler has dealt with some serious health issues over the years.
Flex Wheeler is known as a bodybuilding legend for the work he did on stage. Since retiring from the sport, he has dealt with different health issues that he has battled. Most recently, Wheeler took to social media to share that he had to undergo a repeat rotator cuff surgery in his left shoulder.
Wheeler took bodybuilding by storm in the 90s and into the 2000s. He was unable to capture the elusive Sandow Trophy but won the Arnold Classic four times. There are many who would describe Wheeler’s physique as one of the most conditioned during his time. Unfortunately, he has had to battle different issues since his time on stage has ended.
In 2019, Wheeler went through surgery when he suffered kidney failure and blood clots. Because of this, he had his right leg amputated. Toward the end of 2021, Wheeler was hospitalized with COVID-19 and went through a recovery process that lasted a month.
On Monday, Flex Wheeler shared on his Instagram account that he was still at the hospital because his pain was too severe.
Flex Wheeler Dealing With Pain Following Shoulder Surgery
This is not the first time that Flex Wheeler has underwent this procedure. It is a repeat surgery but the pain was severe this time around. Wheeler remains in the hospital from the surgery, which took place on Monday.
“MondayLeft Shoulder surgery AGAIN ..
Repeat rotator cuff repair. It was supposed to be an outpatient surgery.
But they are unable to get my pain under control ??? so, I’m still laying here in a hospital.
Jesus, the amount of pain I’m in and the amount of pain I’ve been through over the past years it’s truly just Mind-bending ?.
HELP??JESUS HELP ME.Amen ??”

Antoine Vaillant Looks Incredible Ahead of His Return at the Vancouver Pro
Antoine Vaillant looks ready to make his return at the Vancouver Pro.
Top Canadian bodybuilder Antoine Vaillant is looking impressive as he gets ready to step on stage at the Vancouver Pro this weekend. With a number of issues holding Vaillant back from competing in recent years, the talented bodybuilder is ready to show he still has plenty left in the tank.
When it comes to having faith, you can’t just have it in the good times. There are going to be times where the odds aren’t in your favor, where circumstances arise that will completely take you by surprise and challenge you. Challenge your entire perspective, in fact. In those times, you must have faith above all else. If not, you’ll be threatened to be consumed by your own self-doubt and negative energy. Progress will grind to a halt, and you won’t be able to achieve the dreams that you set for yourself.
It would have been easy for Antoine Vaillant to completely give up on his bodybuilding career after discovering he had heart issues. With so many top bodybuilders passing away in recent years, my heart scare would be a love for anyone to consider hanging it up. But rather than backing away from the sport that he loves so much, Vaillant is choosing to continue to train and compete. In fact, the talented bodybuilder will be competing at this weekend’s Vancouver Pro.
With hopes of making it onto the Olympia stage this year, Antoine Vaillant has been training hard despite his unfortunate circumstances. Recently, Vaillant confirmed that he is still training despite the heart news that he received. He isn’t ready to give up on bodybuilding quite yet. Despite not competing for quite some time, Vaillant still has a truly impressive physique. His setbacks only allowed him to continue to build his resolve. Vaillant chose to have faith even in the dark times.
Now ahead of the Vancouver Pro, Antoine Vaillant is showing off his impressive prep as well as his equally remarkable physique.
We all need support. Sometimes it has to come from your own decisions.. to let people help. Accepting help might be a sign of vulnerability, but not of weakness.
The French Canadian bodybuilder is looking incredible as ever as he heads back to the posing stage.
If I’m getting ready for this weekend, does that make me a weekend warrior?
Are you excited for the return of Antoine Vaillant at the Vancouver Pro?

Female Bodybuilder Aleesha Young Shocked At Requests By ‘Closet Muscle Lovers,’ Including Burping And Farting Videos
Aleesha Young has gained some interesting attention because of her physique.
Aleesha Young has found plenty of success on the bodybuilding stage over the course of her career. Since bursting onto the scene in Women’s Bodybuilding, Young has gotten some strange requests from those who seem to like women with muscles.
Young joined the Serious and Silliness podcast to discuss some of the highs and lows of her career. This includes some attention she has gotten because of her physique. The 37-year-old claims that she has received requests from those looking to buy videos of her “burping or farting.”
“I try to keep an open mind, but burping in front of people, selling [videos of] me burping, farting… I’m like, ‘no!’”
“I call them closet muscle lovers… I genuinely am fascinated by what draws people to me, and why. The answer is never the same, which keeps it very interesting to me, and I always try to approach a situation or a fan with an open mind.”
Aleesha Young: “I Have People Openly Be Like ‘Why Would You Want That Much Muscle?’”
Aleesha Young burst onto the scene as an extremely gifted competitor. She won the 2014 NPC USA Championships before moving to IFBB. Her last appearance on stage came during the 2020 Rising Phoenix Pro where she finished fourth. Young has went toe-to-toe with other elite competitors, such as Andrea Shaw and Helle Trevino.

After making her claim, Young was questioned further by the podcast host to discuss the nature of these videos.
“Both, or just a video of it. I can’t do it… I don’t blush but I’m totally blushing. I’m like, ‘no, I am not doing that’.”
Aleesha Young continued to discuss some issues she has faced and this includes public perception of her physique. Young goes in depth on some reactions she has gotten from those who do not understand bodybuilding.
“Some of the things people say to me in public, I’m just like, ‘wow, I’m not easily offended but you wouldn’t say anything like that to somebody that was overweight.
I have people that will openly be like, ‘why would you want that much muscle? Why have you done that?’ And I generally laugh. I’m still really girly, I still love makeup, I still love hair, I still love all the ‘girl things’.”
Aleesha Young has not competed since 2020 and there is no plan for her to return to the stage as of now. She continues to train in the gym and keep her physique in top shape. This leaves the door open for a potential return to competition if she wants to throw her hat back into the ring.

Hafthor Bjornsson Calls Out Tyson Fury During Training: ‘Are You Afraid? Show Yourself’
Hafthor Bjornsson continues to prepare for his next opponent and calls out Tyson Fury.
Hafthor Bjornsson has made his debut in the ring and continues to train at a high level. After taking down fellow former strongman Eddie Hall, Bjornsson is ready to take the talent level up a notch. The former World’s Strongest Man has been calling out Tyson Fury in recent weeks and did it once again on social media.
This is not the first time that the two have commented on the idea of a possible fight. At the end of June, both Fury and Bjornsson posted stories on Instagram teasing the idea of a fight. Fury retired from competitive boxing after his most recent victory over Dillan Whyte. For Bjornsson, his last time in the ring was a unanimous decision over Hall.
Fury and Bjornsson have great respect for one another and that showed during their one in-person meeting. If the two stepped in the ring together, there would be many eyes on the event.
Hafthor Bjornsson Calls Out Tyson Fury
Hafthor Bjornsson has lost a significant amount of weight since making the transition from strongman to boxer. He was one of the best in the world lifting weights and still holds the deadlift world record. Now, Bjornsson has put together a shredded physique thanks to the new diet plan and training regimen.
Along with his coach Billy Nelson, Bjornsson had just put in a huge workout to better his skills. He then took to Instagram to make a statement to Tyson Fury.
“Hey guys I hope you’re having a great, great day. I just finished my second session of the day, had a good session with my coach Billy Nelson. But hey, I have a question for one guy. Tyson Fury, where the F**k are you? I thought you said you’d come to Iceland. Are you afraid? Show yourself.”
To this point, there are no plans for a fight between Fury and Bjornsson but the idea is in the universe. Fury might have retired from boxing but he did not close the door on ideas like this that could draw a large audience and payday for both sides.
Hafthor Bjornsson brings incredible size and strength but Fury is a different animal. He is a champion with incredible footwork and instincts. Could Bjornsson actually last in the ring? It would be interesting to see how the fight would play out.

Dan Solomon Claims Derek Lunsford Might Not Be In Olympia Without Special Invitation: ‘Derek Is Much Bigger Than 212’
Dan Solomon and the Olympia committee are weighing all options when it comes to Derek Lunsford.
Derek Lunsford reached the pinnacle of the 212 division during the 2021 Olympia when he defeated Shaun Clarida for the Sandow Trophy. After reaching this level, Lunsford has put on some incredible muscle mass in the offseason — so much so that he might not be ready for 212 come December. Olympia President Dan Solomon recently spoke on the potential decisions regarding Lunsford.
Lunsford pulled off the upset of Clarida in October after years of work to reach the top. Now, Lunsford could be ready to take the next step. The 212 champion appeared on stage during the 2022 Pittsburgh Pro in May as a guest poser. He appeared alongside Nick Walker, Brandon Curry, and Hunter Labrada as he filled in for reigning two-time Olympia champion Big Ramy.
During this appearance, it was clear that Derek Lunsford was able to stack up with other mass monsters in Men’s Open. This is when the conversation began about Lunsford potentially moving to Open bodybuilding. That time might come quicker than expected.
Dan Solomon: “Derek Is Much Bigger Than 212”
Obviously, Derek Lunsford is qualified for the 2022 Olympia after winning last year. The problem is, he might be too big to return to the 212 division and defend his title. This is a situation that is unique and has the Olympia committee going over different options.
In a recent YouTube video with OlympiaTV, Solomon discussed the possibility of Lunsford moving to Open bodybuilding.
“Derek is much bigger than 212. Then, we ask ourselves, what does he have to put his body through to get under 212-pounds. That’s a legitimate question right?
First of all, he is the reigning 212 champion. He hasn’t even had a chance to go in and defend his 212 title yet, that’s the first thing. But then we have a health issue. Not saying Derek has a health issue, Derek is very healthy, so let me be clear about that. Here’s why it’s a health issue. Derek is no where near 212 at this point. We’ve seen it.”
It is extremely uncommon that a reigning champion at the Olympia is in a position like this. Because of this, Dan Solomon also mentioned a scenario where Lunsford is left out of the show completely.

Could Derek Lunsford Miss The Olympia?
If Derek Lunsford is unable to compete in 212, he will require a special invitation to Men’s Open. If this does not happen, here is a legitimate chance that Solomon and the Olympia committee prepare for a show without Lunsford.
“So, yeah, the Derek Lunsford matter is one that we’ve never really been faced with.
That our reigning champion might not even be able to compete in the 212 because his body has grown at such a feverish pace.”
“Derek’s situation is unique because if it comes to a point where we have to evaluate an invitation for him to compete in the big division, that’s a tough one because it’s possible if he doesn’t get that opportunity, he might not be able to be in the show.”
Derek Lunsford is clearly one of the top bodybuilders in the world and could have the chance to stand alongside the best at the Olympia in Men’s Open. There are man who believe that Lunsford could finish in the top five if he made the jump. While this remains a legitimate possibility, Solomon and the rest of the committee are not deep into thought just yet.
“The question for us becomes, do we want to put on an Olympia without Derek Lunsford in the contest? That’s a conversation for you know, Jim Manion, Tyler, Jake Wood that we will have to have when that time comes. Right now, we’re not thinking too much about it.”
