Jason Arntz is One Steady 202 Competitor

The 202 Showdown at the Olympia had enough twists and turns to fill a book with a great three-way battle between Kevin English, “Flex” Lewis and Jose Raymond. So it’s not out of the question when one of the other competitors gets slightly overlooked. But that’s not entirely fair when Jason Arntz is in the [...]

Troy Alves Comes Full Circle With 2011 IFBB Phoenix Pro Win

A year ago at this time, Troy Alves was unsure where his bodybuilding career was headed. He had just lost his supplement contract and contemplated skipping the 2010 Mr. Olympia.

It may seem kind of strange to predict big things out of a bodybuilder who has exactly one win since earning his pro card eight years ago, but Ronny Rockel may just be the one to change that. The 37-year-old German has made strides in the past year and was impressive in 2009 with top [...]

Less than a month before the Ms. Olympia contest, Cathy LeFrancois will have to pull out after injuring her right elbow on August 6 in a freak home accident. She slipped on a carpet mat and fell to the floor, and “fell like a rock,” according to her blog. After four days of giving her [...]

Gary Strydom, 49, May Be Planning Olympia Comeback

On the heels of the news that Ronnie Coleman is coming back to compete in the 2010 Mr. Olympia, we now have been hearing whispers that Gary Strydom intends on standing on the same stage in Las Vegas – this year. Returning to the spotlight is not new for Strydom, 49. He retired in 1992 [...]

Tampa Pro Cancels Women’s Bodybuilding

In another example of how under appreciated women’s bodybuilding is, the 2009 Tampa Pro has cancelled the event. Blame the economy if you want (and the promoters of the show have said that purse money is an issue) but the fact of the matter remains that the women of iron have not received the respect [...]
