IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Paul Poloczek Passes Away At 37 Years Old
Pro bodybuilder Paul Poloczek dead at 37
Tragic news hits the bodybuilding world this weekend with reports that bodybuilder Paul Poloczek has passed away. He was only 37 years old. At the time of this writing, there has been no cause of death announced. Poloczek was an IFBB pro bodybuilder.
News of Paul Poloczek’s passing comes via his partner Katherin DeNev, who posted the news on her Instagram account on May 28, 2022. According to reports, he was last seen at the NPC Worldwide Championships in Baden-Württemberg.
Below is a translation of the post:
“Bodybuilding was your life. You are not forgotten, you live on in our hearts. We will love you forever.”
Remembering Paul Poloczek
Paul Poloczek is a Polish bodybuilder who immigrated to Germany when he was four years old. Paul’s initial passion in athleticism and sports came in the form of soccer. This eventually lead him to discover his love of weightlifting – becoming interested in bodybuilding around the age of 16.
In 2002, Poloczek became a member of the famous Powerhouse Gym franchise – in Oehringen, Germany. He would later become the owner of that very gym. Poloczek later won his first Junior Championship bodybuilding competition at the age of 17.
Later in 2012, Poloczek placed second at the German Championships in the Super-Heavyweight division. He followed this high placing with yet another runner up title at the Arnold Classic Amateur Europe and also the Arnold Amateur Championships in Ohio in 2014.
Paul Poloczek finally earned his pro card in 2017, wher ehe placed first in the Arnold Classic Amateur competition in Ohio. He would later compete in the New York Pro in 2018 – though he did not place.
This lead to Poloczek taking a short hiatus from competing. He expected his comeback to be in 2021 – though ultimately the pandemic prevented him from competing. He would later finally compete again later that year in the Europa Pro. He placed 16th.
Generation Iron would like to send condolences to friends and family of Paul Poloczek during this hard time. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

2022 MID USA Pro Results
Camilo Diaz wins Classic Physique at the MID USA Pro!
The 2022 MID USA Pro was one of the bodybuilding shows that went down on Saturday. A small group of Classic Physique competitors gathered to Albuquerque, New Mexico to see who would gain qualification to the 2022 Olympia. In the end, it was Camilo Diaz who took home the title.
Camilo Diaz appeared in his first show on Saturday after being very busy in 2021. Last year, Diaz appeared on stage six times, highlighted by seventh-place finishes at the California Pro and Indy Pro. Derek Duszynski also entered the competition with hopes of coming out on top. He appeared at the Pittsburgh Pro and Heart of Texas last season.

2022 California State Pro Results
Charles Griffen wins the 2022 California State Pro!
The 2022 California State Pro took place on Saturday highlighting Men’s Open competitors from all over the world. The field gathered at the Scottish Rite Event Center in San Diego to battle for a trip to the 2022 Olympia. In the end, Charles Griffen reigned supreme and earned a victory at the event.
Coming into the show, there were many names looking to take the next step in 2022. Charles Griffen finished second to Blessing Awodibu at the 2022 Ind Pro just two weeks ago. He was prepared to battle Awodibu once again during the New York Pro last Saturday but decided to pull his name out at the last minute.
Andrea Presti competed at the Olympia in 2021 after a victory during the Mr. Big Evolution Pro. This was the first competition for the bodybuilder out of Italy. Mohamed Shaaban also made his return to the stage after withdrawing from the Arnold Classic earlier in the year. He was a top-10 finisher at last year’s Olympia.
The full results from the show have been announced. Men’s Open highlighted the event and there is now a sense of how it played out in San Diego. Check out the full breakdown of the standings along with an official score card from the California State Pro.

2022 World’s Strongest Man Finals Results (LIVE UPDATES)
A complete breakdown of the 2022 World’s Strongest Man finals results.
The 2022 World’s Strongest Man finals are well underway after three days of grueling qualifier events. 10 strongman competitors battle to win the title of World’s Strongest Man. There’s no clear winner yet – but results are being updated as each event comes to a close during the finals. Read on for our full recap and breakdown of the finals.
The 2022 World’s Strongest Man runs from May 24-29th in Sacramento, California. After much success last year, this is the second time in seven years that the event has returned to California for the proceedings. Generation Iron has been working with WSM’s team to bring you direct coverage. As to be expected from the best of the best – the strongman competitors have been giving their all throughout the entirety of the event – along with some dramatic close calls, twists, and turns.
During the qualifying rounds, we had a few close calls with injuries and a legitimate drop out due to injury. First Evan Singleton was reportedly out of WSM after the first day of qualifiers – but ultimately was able to make a miraculous 180 and return to the roster within 24 hours. Medical professionals determined that he was still capable of safely competing.
However, strongman Shane Flowers was not so lucky. During the second day of qualifiers at the WSM, Flowers announced that he would be dropping out of the competition due to injury.
There is a lot of seriously powerful talent making it into the top 10 finalists. As predicted, Tom Stoltman strongly secured a finals spot – along with former World’s Strongest Man champions Oleksii Novikov and Brian Shaw. Stoltman’s brother, Luke, also made it into the finals – which will provide us with some truly exciting brother vs brother matches over the weekend.

World’s Strongest Man 2022 Finals Day One Results
The first day of the World’s Strongest Man 2022 finals held in Sacramento, CA has begun with the top 10 finalists from the qualifying rounds battling it out in three events–KNAACK Giant’s Medley, Deadlift, and Flintsone Barbell. Below Generation Iron will be updating the results as they come through.
World’s Strongest Man 2022 Finals Day 1 Events
KNAACK Giant’s Medley
Deadlift
Flintstone Barbell
KNAACK Giants Medley
The KNAACK Giant’s Medley is very similar to a traditional loading race. The big difference is that the event consists of a box carry and a super yoke. The 10 finalists carried two KNAACK Boxes weighing 120 kilograms (265 pounds) boxes, then a 455 kilogram (1,003 pounds) for a length of 10 meters–with a time cap of 75 seconds.
Mitchell Hooper was the one to close out the first event of the World’s Strongest Man finals. The reigning champ, Tom Stoltman, barely scraped by Oleksii Novikov to claim second-placed, beating Novikov by one-tenth of a second.
Mitchell Hooper – 21.96s
Tom Stoltman – 24.75s
Oleksii Novikov – 24.84s
Luke Stoltman – 28.72s
Martins Licis – 30.60s
Brian Shaw – 30.78s
Trey Mitchell – 32.54s
Gabriel Rheaume – 33.87s
Maxime Boudreault – 34.11s
Eythor Ingolfsson Melsted – 37.61s
Deadlift
The second event of the 2022 World’s Strongest Man finals requires the competitors to deadlift a car weighing 360 kilograms (794 pounds) for as many reps as possible. A time cap of 60 seconds will be in place.
COMING SOON
Flintstone Barbell
In this event, a barbell is loaded with a pair of giant stones on either side. Strongmen then take turns attempting to lift the same weight to advance to the next round. Weight increases with each new round. The rounds continue until only one strongman remains. In essence, this event is a behind-the-neck press for max weight.
COMING SOON
2022 World’s Strongest Man Day 2 Finals
The 2022 World’s Strongest Man finals Day 2 will commence on Sunday, May 29th. This will be the last day of events and end with the awards ceremony announcing the champion. Generation Iron will update the final results as they become available on Sunday.

Hany Rambod Gets Serious About Year-Round Steroids Use: “You’re Going To Die Younger”
Beyond training Phil Heath, Hany Rambod is also currently coaching the reigning 212 Olympia champion Derek Lunsford (who just might be moving up to the Men’s Open someday soon). Rambod also helped train the much hyped Hadi Rambod during his transition into Men’s Open at the Mr. Olympia.
After a small hiatus from the podcast, Hany Rambod returned with a truly powerful episode released on May 5th, 2022. In the episode, Rambod focused less on training techniques and coaching insight. Instead, he focused on the long list of deaths in the pro bodybuilding community. Particularly the young athletes who passed away tragically too soon.
Most recently, the sport was crushed to learn that Cedric McMillan passed away at 46 years old. This came shortly after the passing of Bostin Loyd, who was only 29 year old and openly admitted to testing mass amounts of PEDs on his body. Sadly, these deaths were just the tip of the iceberg as many, many young athletes have passed over the past two years. This also includes former Mr. Olympia Shawn Rhoden and beloved Men’s Open pro bodybuilder George Peterson.
Truly, these deaths have been weighing heavily on those in the bodybuilding community. And it appears that Hany Rambod is one of them. Which is why in his comeback episode of his podcast he jumped into detail about steroid use and health in bodybuilding. You can watch the full episode below:
[embedded content]
RELATED: Bodybuilders Are Dying – An Investigation Into Modern Bodybuilding, Health, & PED Use.
Hany Rambod gets candid about bodybuilders who do year-long cycles
While Hany Rambod is no stranger to the fact that steroids are frequently used in bodybuilding – he also wants to warn about the abuse side of PEDs that have become increasingly normalized in modern bodybuilding.
Rambod used Bostin Loyd as a key example of this. Loyd’s death, at an extremely young age, is representative of the problem that is happening in the sport today.
“People really need to understand that these are short term fixes and that’s all it is. You cannot sit there and take gear perpetually and think that it’s going to be okay. It’s not. You’re going to have long-term health consequences that could be in the very short-term majorly catastrophic health consequences. People used to have problems when they were in their fifties and sixties, and they’ve been geared up for a long time and they didn’t take care of their blood pressure, didn’t take care of all these other issues and end up having a heart attack and passing away in their fifties or sixties.
Now, you got guys in their 20s that are passing away! How old was Bostin Loyd? I think he was 29 years old and he’s another guy from the bay area. “At the end of the day, the kid just abused.”
Hany Rambod continues to explain that steroids is, in some ways, an inevitable part of bodybuilding competitively. However, Rambod echos what others have said about waiting as long as possible before using PEDs. See how far your body can be pushed naturally – and then jump into PEDs when you are older, understand your body more, and are more mature.
He continues:
“Look. If you’re listening to this podcast, and you’re thinking of contemplating taking drugs. You should really consider the consequences. Turn around and say, how old am I? Do I want to work within my genetic potential? If so, let me wait until I’m in my mid 20’s before I gear up. If that’s something you decide to do when you’re 22, 23, 24…then you should do it. Then, you’re a little bit more mature.”
“This isn’t just for Trenbolone, steroids, I’m talking about when it comes to anything. Even when it comes to these peptides now, they’re big. SARMS and shit. All this stuff. When you’re older, you’re going to be older and a little more wiser and you’re going to be able to make better decisions when as you become older. But when you’re young and you’re doing these types of things, you just haphazardly don’t think about the consequences and the repercussions of your actions.”
Hany Rambod also reflected back at his time training Dallas McCarver. In some ways, McCarver was the first majorly shocking young death in the modern industry. Rambod reveals that Dallas McCarver was weighing in at 345 pounds at the time of his death. This was after Rambod stopped training him – as he stated he would only let McCarver push up to 285 pounds under his watch. On top of this, autopsy reports later revealed that his heart was three times the size of an average adult.
To see how much farther Dallas McCarver pushed his size truly angers Hany Rambod. He’s angry how far and fast young athletes are willing to push drug use and size – to the point where it has led to tragic young deaths:
“It’s like, I buried a lot of that anger, a lot of that emotion because honestly, I don’t even want to see myself get that angry but I am. I’m angry and very disappointed out there with what I’ve seen.” It’s time for people to realize that…you know, the rides gotta stop. The rides gotta stop.”
Hany Rambod truly gets passionate during this episode while discussing a powerfully sad situation that is arising in the sport. Rambod joins a growing chorus of experts, athletes, and coaches that are publicly warning young bodybuilders about the dangers of steroid and PED abuse.
Perhaps this is the start of a sea change in how the next generation will handle drug use in bodybuilding. However, it’s truly sad that these deaths had to occur at all. While many of the deaths cannot be directly connected to steroid use – it’s clear that health is on the minds of many in the industry. The main message: prioritize your health over being the best bodybuilder in the world. At the very least – when it comes to PED use.

INBA Bodybuilder Explains Why More Volume Doesn’t Mean More Muscle
Image via Instagram @joshua.builds
INBA Classic Physique competitor Joshua dives into why doing more sets isn’t always better for more muscle.
Many lifters focus more on the volume–sets, reps, and exercises–of their workouts than they do their intensity. Although volume is essential to good muscle growth, how hard you perform your workouts is paramount. International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA) Classic Physique competitor and coach Joshua explains why.
According to Joshua, despite their questioning, he starts all of his clients with low volume. The theory is that he wants his clients to focus on quality and recovery. Joshua believes that if your intensity is high and your workout form is good, you won’t benefit from any more volume. Joshua stated (translated from Dutch to English):
“First make sure your execution is good, then make sure you train intensively enough and milk this as much as possible, you will see that you need less than you think when these are on-point.”
Nevertheless, Joshua says if you feel like you have room for more volume after perfecting your form and pushing yourself to high intensity, then you can add more volume.
Below is Joshua’s full IG post.
Volume Vs. Intensity for More Muscle
Both volume and intensity are essential for muscle growth. However, once you perform enough volume to stimulate the muscle-building process, keeping your exertion high is more important instead of adding more volume. Now, that’s not to say that higher volume won’t yield additional results. On the contrary, many advanced lifters, especially bodybuilders, add more volume to their workouts to maximize muscle mass.
That said, keeping your workout intensity high is necessary before adding more volume to your workouts. Otherwise, you will only hurt your recovery by adding more volume instead of adding more muscle mass. Recovery is vital to building muscle, so you want to ensure you avoid overtraining, which too much training will do.
Moreover, how strong you are is strongly correlated with how much muscle you have. Typically, the heavier the weight you can lift, the more muscle mass you have. Therefore, your focus should be on using the heaviest weight you can do in a given rep range before adding more sets and exercises to your plan.
2022 INBA PNBA International Battle for Cancer
This upcoming Saturday, May 28, 2022, will be the INBA PNBA’s next bodybuilding show, the INBA PNBA Pro/Am International Battle Against Cancer. The show is presented by Diana Kakos, the CEO of the INBA PNBA, and will take place in Corona, CA. The event transpired among INBA PNBA athletes who have battled cancer, survived cancer, or have loved ones diagnosed with cancer. Generation Iron will cover the show and highlight some of the athletes’ inspirational stories.
Final Word
The volume and intensity of your workouts are essential to reaching your physique’s full potential. However, it’s more important to push yourself on your exercises via using a heavy weight and doing the most reps you can do in a given rep range with that weight before adding volume to your workouts.

Gervonta Davis vs Rolando Romero Promises to Produce a Devastating Knockout
Who will come out on top in the Gervonta Davis versus Rolando Romero match?
Gervonta Davis versus Rolando Romero is a clash that boxing fans have been clamoring to see. Romero has done an excellent job to build up this fight. He has trash talked his way all the way to the bank with this one and it makes for a compelling storyline: can he actually back it all up. While he doesn’t possess the same kind of experience as Davis, what Romero does have is an unorthodox style and the power to make things difficult for his rival. The reigning WBA lightweight champion, Gervonta “Tank” Davis has allowed his work to speak for itself inside the ring. No brash talk, no antics, just sheer explosive power that has rendered 24 of his 26 opponents unconscious.
The Analysis
Rolando Romero
As far as his boxing acumen, Rolando Romero does not possess the prettiest technique. What he does bring to the table, though, is sheer power. Romero’s most dangerous technique is definitely his left hook. In many of his matchups, his left hook is the deciding factor in the bout. If he’s able to land cleanly with his left hook, he marries it with his right hand, a devastating combination of blows.
With that said, he also finds himself out of position many times. Romero’s footwork leaves much to be desired. With less experienced opposition able to out position him in the middle of a 50-50 exchange in the pocket, it’s clear that Romero will have some difficulties dealing with Davis should he decide to trade. At the same time, trading with Davis could be Romero’s best chance at victory. If he’s going to be able to defeat Davis, he’ll have to rely on that awkward style and powerful left-hand hook. He more than likely won’t be able to catch Davis out in space, so a trade in the pocket could potentially benefit Romero if he catches Davis off guard.
Gervonta Davis
When most people bring up Gervonta Davis, they often talk about his power. He definitely has blistering power and speed to go along with it, but what makes him most dangerous is his ability to adapt on the fly. If Davis isn’t able to knockout his opponent, which he’s been able to 24 out of 26 times, he’ll instead decide to use his ring generalship. Davis will move around the squared circle and dictate the pace with a strong jab, picking his shots as needed.
What also cannot be understated is Gervonta Davis’ ability to counter. Davis was able to catch Leo Santa Cruz off guard as he walked him down into the corner and unleashed a hellacious counter left-hand uppercut that shut off the lights out. “Tank” has ability to read his opponents offense and then counter off of their small openings makes him a very dangerous opponent for Romero. Davis has superior footwork and will likely cut off the ring as much as possible and counter before taking the opportunity to counter one of Romero’s awkward lead hooks.
No matter how you slice it one thing is certain, this is not going to the judges. Both men are known for their knockout ability, and it’s unlikely that this will go the distance. This is a take no prisoners fight, so keep your eyes open and don’t blink when watching this one.

Hunter Labrada’s 2022 Mr. Olympia Prep: “I Drink 4 Shakes A Day” Out Of 6 Meals
Meal Four
Meal four starts to really get interesting. That’s because it is his first non-blended meal of the day. While he does not detail the exact meal – it seems to be somewhat fluid so long as he hits his proper macros.
Labrada makes sure to eat 100 grams of carbs and 50 grams of protein for this meal specifically.
Meal Five
Meal five also sticks with the solid track – and usually includes 300 grams of rice and 200 grams of chicken. While this meal is considered a solid by Labrada, he does still throw the chicken into a blender. Strongman fans may recall that this is similar to Blaine Sumner’s epic chicken shakes as seen in Strength Wars: The Movie.
Interestingly enough, Labrada even breaks down his rice into specifically planned bites. He ensures that he can eat the rice into eight individual bites so that it doesn’t take too long to consume.
Meal Six
The final meal of the day goes back to full-on liquid. In fact, he brings the entire day into full circle by once again blending two Bobo’s Oat Bars with two scoops of hydrolyzed isolate. It creates a perfect circle to cap off his day – and then the entire thing starts over again in the morning.
Wrap Up
Many reading this article and perhaps watching this video might find this entire meal plan extremely unappealing. It’s clear that Hunter Labrada is taking the fun out eating and simply making the food as easy to digest as possible. While not typical for most competitors – Labrada does note that his friend and fellow competitor Brett Wilkins also eats a similar liquid-first diet.
Jay Cutler once famously said, “I don’t eat for taste, I eat for function.” That seems to be on full display here in Hunter Labrada’s diet. We’ll see if the plan helps him. build enough muscle – and bring in enough conditioning – to be a true threat on the 2022 Mr. Olympia stage.
