John LaFlamme Squats 426.5 Pounds at 71 Years Old
This was enough to set an unofficial Masters IV world record.
There are some powerlifters that can keep their strength for years and years. For John LaFlamme, that would be 71 years. The powerlifter recently completed a 193.5kg (426.5lb) squat and unofficially broke the IPF world record in the process.
LaFlamme competed in the 2022 United States Virgin Islands Powerlifting Federation Classic & Equipped National Championships. He won the Masters IV, 83kg division and turned many heads while doing so.
This was the heaviest squat of John LaFlamme’s performance at the event. He paired this with a 105kg (231.5lb) bench press and 215kg (474lb) deadlift. It took LaFlamme three attempts to complete this deadlift. This was enough to take home the victory in the event. He totaled 513.5kg (1,132.1lb) in the entire show.
At 71 years old, LaFlamme continues to show incredible strength. He has been in the powerlifting game for 44 years. He began competing when he was 27 years old. LaFlamme made his debut at the 1978 AAU Maine State Powerlifting Championship. This began and long and successful career that has seen LaFlamme maintain his strength.
When looking at competition PRs for John LaFlamme, they have all come in the Masters’ category. The 2018 USAPL Virginia State Championships saw LaFlamme set three new PRs. He completed a 210kg (462.9lb) squat and 112.5 (248lb) bench press. This was part of a total of 557.5kg (1,229lb). In 2016, LaFlamme completed a 245kg (540.1lb) deadlift at the USAPL American Open & Police-Fire Nationals.
It is clear that LaFlamme has kept his strength over the years. He remains active on social media sharing some impressive lifts that he has taken on in his home gym.
“214kg/472lbs x3 paused. This was a needed confidence builder after a disappointing session off blocks last week.”
This lift came as he was preparing for competition and it ended up being part of a victory. LaFlamme will continue to dominate the division and show what he can do. This might have been an unofficial record but there could be some actual world records that go down when John LaFlamme takes the stage again.

Natural Bodybuilder Joe Schretz Demystifies Rest Time Between Sets
INBA PNBA Pro Classic Physique competitor Joe Schretz proves why resting longer between sets is imperative to build muscle.
Rest time between sets is vital for getting the results you want in the gym. Often, people aren’t resting the required amount of time to meet their fitness goals, especially lifters seeking to build muscle. This is because they tend not to rest long enough. According to International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) pro Classic Physique competitor Joe Schretz, you should rest longer if you want to build muscle. On Instagram (IG), Schretz claimed:
“Often associated with hypertrophy (muscle gain) is the notion that you should have short tests [sic] between sets (about 60 seconds). This may have benefit in keeping a workout shorter if time management is an issue and will help keep you “pumped up”. However, after doing some research, the “pump” is not a necessary factor for muscle hypertrophy.”
Schretz shared a study that resting longer between sets (3 minutes) is more effective for strength and hypertrophy than resting for one minute between sets.
Below you can see the study Schretz shared and his complete statement on social media.

Proper Rest Time Between Sets for Your Fitness Goals
Many lifters looking to build muscle will rest shorter than they should for maximal muscle growth. Strength is strongly correlated with how much muscle you build. And to get as strong as possible, you’ll have to rest long enough between sets. That’s because your muscles need enough time to recover after each set. We recommend you rest for 2-4 minutes if your goal is to build muscle.
That’s not to say shorter rest periods don’t have their time and place. Joe Schretz says:
“For maximal growth, you should rest as long as you need between sets until you’re fully recovered and ready to hit it again (may be longer/shorter for certain individuals and also dependent on the exercise – squats need more rest between sets than a bicep curl).”
So rest longer for big compound movements like barbell squats. On the other hand, you can shorten your rest for isolation movements like dumbbell bicep curls.
Furthermore, resting for shorter periods also comes in handy if you’re looking to increase your endurance or are short on time. For example, circuit training is built upon minimum rest and can improve your strength and endurance simultaneously.
*Note: It’s worth noting that if your muscles don’t feel fatigued after each set, which prompts you to shorten your rest period, you’re likely not using heavy enough weight.

Top level bodybuilding competitor Hadi Choopan is in the midst of his own off season and is looking impressive.
There’s no question, Hadi Choopan is a top contender for best in the world. The Persian bodybuilder has been on top of his game in the last several years.

Working with revered coach Hani Rambod to improve his physique, Hadi Choopan is looking more and more impressive with every camp. There’s no question that if Choopan continues to work with Rambod that he could likely once again crack the top three at the Olympia.
Always focus on improvement and never give up!
But before he can make it to the Olympia stage Hadi Choopan will have to prove he’s worthy of his position. That means Choopan will have to contend at an Olympia qualifier and conquer the competition.
Looking to bring something special to the stage, Hadi Choopan is putting in some intense training in preparation.

Mateusz Kieliszkowski Will Miss The 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic
Mateusz Kieliszkowski will miss the event with an injury.
The 2022 Arnold Strongman is right around the corner and one of the top competitors has just withdrew from the competition. Mateusz Kieliszkowski will not appear at the event after suffering a few setbacks. He is dealing with hip discomfort and suffered a urinary tract infection.
Julian Howard, a Strongman promoter, broke the news on his Instagram page. This is not the first time that Kieliszkowski has dealt with injuries that have halted his progress.
“@kieliszkowskimateusz will now not be competing at the Arnold Strongman Classic this weekend!He has damaged his hip and has a urinary tract infection which has hindered his training. He will be missed but we all wish him well and hope to see him back again soon????”
Mateusz Kieliszkowski was one of the favorites to finish on the podium in Columbus. During his career, the 28-year-old Strongman has dealt with plenty of setbacks such as this. In 2020, Kieliszkowski was forced to miss the World’s Strongest Man competition with a tricep injury. He was able to rehab the injury and return to the stage in 2021 but did not seem to reach his full potential.
Last year, Kieliszkowski finished second at the WUS Dubai and fourth at the 2021 Rogue Strongman Invitational. After more training and recovery, he was prepared to make an impact in 2022 but fans might have to wait a little longer to see what he can really do.
Mateusz Kieliszkowski would not have been 100% if he appeared at the Arnold Classic. In 2020, he finished second at this event. This came after runner-up finishes at the World’s Strongest Man shows in 2018 and 2019. He has made a name for himself over the course of his career and could return when healthy.
Kieliszkowski has been active on social media sharing some recent lifts that he has accomplished. Just last week, he completed a 125kg dumbbell press and did it with little effort. It seemed as though he was healthy but there are other areas that would have been impacted by his injuries.
The 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic is set to take place this weekend in Columbus, OH. Matuesz Kieliszkowski is a big loss for the competition but there are still plenty of elite competitors ready to take the stage at the event.

How To Watch The 2022 Arnold Classic Event
A complete guide on how to watch the 2022 Arnold Classic. Including Pro Bodybuilding, Strongman, Slap Fight Championships & More.
The 2022 Arnold Classic and Arnold Sports Festival takes place on March 4-5, 2022 in Columbus, Ohio. The event is one of the largest pro bodybuilding competitions second only to the Mr. Olympia. It is also one of the biggest sports festivals in the world featuring 60+ sporting events. As for the pro bodybuilding competition specifically – divisions will be split up across both days with the Men’s Open pre-judging on Friday and the Finals on Saturday. Not able to make it to Ohio in person? Here’s our complete guide on how to watch the 2022 Arnold Classic.
The Arnold Classic is considered by many to be the official start of the IFBB Pro and NPC bodybuilding season. While there are occasionally competitions that crop up earlier, the floodgates open up after the Arnold Classic’s early March event date. Being the second largest pro bodybuilding competition – it’s also seen as a predictor of what we might expect later in the year at the Olympia 2022.
Also of note is that the Arnold Classic has switched up their scheduling a bit compared to previous years. Typically, the pre-judging and the finals for Men’s Open occur in the same day. This year, the event seems to be following a similar format to the Mr. Olympia – with the pre-judging capping off Friday night followed by the finals on Saturday.
While seemingly insignificant, this provides a different timing between the two rounds of the competition. After pre-judging, competitors often adjust as much as they can based on the scoring of the comparison rounds in the hopes of locking in the best possible result. With 24 hours between rounds instead of just 5 or 6 – the tactic on how to improve in that time period changes. Giving more room for improvement… or a stumble.
How To Watch The Arnold Classic 2022
Unlike previous years, the 2022 Arnold Classic will be a pay-per-view event on FanMio for $24.99. This price gets you entire access to the event including not only the Pro Bodybuilding competition but also Strongman, the newly announced Slap Fighting Championships, and many more of the 60+ events. Once purchased, The PPV can also be watched on any device and screencast onto your television via devices such as Roku, Chromecast, or other major streaming services.
You can buy the PPV event via FanMio at their official website right here.
2022 Arnold Classic Men’s Open Line Up

That being said, there is still an exciting lineup with a guaranteed new champion – as 2021 champ Nick Walker is not competing. Here’s the current line up as it stands now:
Brandon Curry (USA)
Brett Wilkin (USA)
William Bonac (Netherlands)
Maxx Charles (USA)
Samson Dauda (United Kingdom)

Steve Kuclo (USA)

What To Expect
Of the nine competitors lined up for the 2022 Arnold Classic Men’s Open – two have previously one the prestigious title. Brandon Curry won not only the 2019 Arnold Classic but later went to be the 2019 Mr. Olympia champion. William Bonac is a two-time Arnold Classic champion – earning his titles in 2018 and 2020.
As it stands now, Brandon Curry is the favorite to take the prize this year – but Bonac has proven himself to be a true threat in every show he competes in. But with his sixth place finish at last year’s Mr. Olympia has many questioning what kind of shape we may see Bonac in. As it stands now – he might come back with a vengeance showing miraculous improvement. Or will he show that his prime years are starting to fade.
That being said, we can’t count out other competitors on this list from rising tall and causing an upset. Relative newcomer Brett Wilkin has been catching a lot of hype based on his physique updates on social media. Regan Grimes has also been turning heads especially with his announcement last year of working with Milos Sarcev as his coach. Steve Kuclo, a consistent bodybuilder with an impressive physique, is also predicted by many to get into the top 3 or at least the top 5. Only time will tell.
Generation Iron will be providing complete coverage of the event including pre-judging reports and analysis, breaking news, and final results. Make sure to check out our official coverage page right here for updates.
Pro Bikini Natural Bodybuilder Federica Ruscitti Shares a Healthy Cake Recipe
Italian PNBA pro bikini athlete Federica Ruscitti shares a healthy dessert recipe.
Everyone loves cake, and everyone wants to be healthy and fit while eating as much cake as your stomach can handle too. Unfortunately, often these two aspirations don’t go hand in hand. However, it’s possible to eat delicious desserts and still reach your fitness goals with the right ingredients. Fortunately, International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) athlete Federica Ruscitti shared a healthy recipe for a delicious cake on social media.
Federica Ruscitti is an Italian natural bodybuilder who competes in the Bikini division. At 2021 Natural Olympia, she shared the stage with the world’s top natural Bikini Divas athletes.
Admittedly, Ruscitti acknowledges she got the recipe from a girl she’s been following for years on Instagram (IG). On IG, Ruscitti stated that this recipe is good compared to others she’s tried.
Cake Recipe
Below are the ingredients of the healthy cake recipe (no sugar and healthy ingredients).
Ingredients
One egg
50g of egg white
70g of almond milk
50g flavored oat flour
50g 1 type fruit flour
40g of erythritol
20g sunflower oil
16g almonds
20g raisins
4g yeast
rum flavor
Ruscitti said to soak the raisins in hot water. Then, Ruscitti mixed the eggs with erythritol, added the oil, aroma, and milk, mixed it, and added flour with the yeast. She claims that the dessert isn’t very protein-centric, but you can add yogurt or make a protein sauce to increase the protein. Ruscitti stated:
“Aside I mounted the egg white, then (I know it would be the other way around) but I put the mixture inside the egg white and mixed from the bottom up with a marisa [sic], trying not to dismantle the dough. Dipped half of the raisins, poured into an 18 cm springform pan, lined with parchment paper.”
Lastly, Ruscitti put the almonds and raisins on top and baked it at 180-degrees for 25 minutes.
You can see Ruscitti’s full IG post with a picture of the cake below.

Federica Ruscitti has other recipes on her IG page, too, if you’d like to learn how to make more healthy, delicious foods.
Supplements
Aside from eating healthy foods to hit your fitness goal, taking the right supplements can also help. PNBA Figure pro competitor Erika Sweeney has firm reasons you should add a vitamin D supplement to your diet.
Federica Ruscitti’s Training
Of course, a proper workout combined with your nutrition is best for reaching your fitness goals. For Federica Ruscitti’s upper body, she likes to do seated dumbbell shoulder press, straight arm lat pulldown, and cable seated rows. To target her lower body, Ruscitti performs a variety of leg movements, including leg extensions, Bulgarian split squats, barbell Romanian deadlifts, and barbell sumo deadlifts.
International Natural Bodybuilding
The INBA has athletes that compete from over 60 countries. Winners from the most prominent natural bodybuilding competition of the year – Natural Olympia – were worldwide, including Britain, Germany, Italy, America, and Mexico. The INBA PNBA aims to recognize elite natural athletes globally on authoritative platforms and as icons in the natural bodybuilding industry. The INBA PNBA recently signed the first international natural bodybuilder to a multi-media contract.

Jimmy Kolb Has Reclaimed Equipped Bench Press World Record With 1,320-Pound Lift
Jimmy Kolb has absolutely dominated equipped bench press and has his record back.
It has been three months since Jimmy Kolb lost the all-time equipped bench press world record. Over the weekend, the powerlifter was able to reclaim his title with an insane 598.7kg (1,320lb) bench press.
Kolb competed in the 2022 IPA Pennsylvania Powerlifting Championships on Feb. 26-27. Some elite powerlifters gathered in York, PA for the event and Kolb stole the show by gaining his record back. He took to Instagram to share the lift and show what he is able to do.
“Huge thank you to @unleashdstrength for setting up his phone as a back view and capturing this angle!.I racked it and couldn’t move until someone told me if it was good or not. Surreal.”
In November 2021, Tiny Meeker lifted 510.2kg (1,124.8lb) to take the record away from Kolb. This was quickly broken by Bill Gillespie, who set a new mark of 512.5kg (1,129.9lb) before announcing his retirement. Gillespie accomplished his feat at the 2022 365Strong New Year Power Bash. This was the final accomplishment for Gillespie I his long career. Now, Kolb has it back.
Kolb is 31 years old and has excelled in bench press over the course of his career. Beginning competition in 2009, Kolb has been an elite lifter for years now but has reached world-record status in 2020. At this time, it will be interesting to see if any other lifter can reach this number. Kolb could hold it for a long time and even build on it if he is able.
Not only did Jimmy Kolb set the world record in equipped bench press, he set the mark for the heaviest lift of all time. This record was previously held by Nathan Baptist. In 2021 at the UPA Utah Kick Off, Baptist competed an equipped squat of 595kg (1,311.7lb). Kolb was able to top this record, which takes bench press, deadlifts, and squats into account.
This is a lift that will be chased for quite some time. Jimmy Kolb did something that has never been done before, not just in bench press, but in any lift. That is as impressive as it gets.

Cedric McMillan Details Stomach Issues Will Keep Him Out Of Arnold Classic
Cedric McMillan recently explained why he pulled out of the 2022 Arnold Classic.
News broke on Monday that Cedric McMillan was the latest to pull his name out of the 2022 Arnold Classic. There was not a reason released but the bodybuilder recently took the time to reveal that stomach issues will keep him off stage.
Milos Sarcev mentioned that McMillan would not appear on stage in Columbus. On Monday, McMillan decided to share a video on Instagram to give an update on his condition.
“Ever since I tried to compete at the Legion show in Nevada back in October. I’ve been having issues with my stomach. I can’t keep food down for some reason. It creates some stupid ass hiccups, I’m hiccupping all day long and for half the night and anytime I eat, or even drinking water. It comes back up, nothing wants to stay down.”
Cedric McMillan has dealt with some issues that has made his path difficult over the last two years. In 2020, McMillan suffered a broken collarbone and broken hand that forced him to miss the Olympia that year. This will be the second year in a row he will miss the Arnold Classic. In September, McMillan withdrew his name before appearing on the broadcast. He revealed that he contracted COVID-19 and this affected his heart.
McMillan continues to explain in his video that he felt the need to explain his situation because of other news being thrown out there. This has caused some messages from people close to him.
“I have been having some issues, for 4-weeks now. I got a couple of phone calls, and text messages from friends saying that they seen on the internet that something was wrong with me. So, of course, if it’s already on the internet, motherfuckers don’t know everything. They talking about what they think they know, what they heard. So I may as well, go on and explain this shit myself.
“Four weeks ago, I went to the doctor again, I’ve been going to the doctor throughout, but they recommended I shouldn’t try to do the show. Of course, I’m being stubborn. If I eat this food, and throw up half of it, at least that’s half. I can keep, you know just being an idiot. I did what they asked and went on a liquid diet. Eating fuckin soup and eating weight gaining shakes.”
Cedric McMillan will be present in Columbus during the Arnold Classic but will not compete. He will be part of the meet and greet for fans. This allows him to still interact with fans even though they will not be able to watch him compete. It will be interesting to see when the bodybuilder is able to make his return to the stage.
