Troy Alves Comes Full Circle With 2011 IFBB Phoenix Pro Win thumbnail

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.

Ms. International (Arnold Classic) Pre-Judging Report thumbnail

Is it too late to change our prediction for the Ms. International? On paper, we liked Yaxeni Oriquen-Garcia to end Iris Kyle’s reign, but the pre-judging on Friday afternoon dictated otherwise. Oriquen-Garcia looked smaller and much smoother than she did at the Ms. Olympia last September, while Kyle seems to have added a little to [...]

It’s ‘Put Up or Shut Up’ Time for Dexter Jackson at the Arnold Classic thumbnail

It’s kind of odd that someone who was on top of the bodybuilding world a mere six months ago can be at a career crossroads now, but it can be argued that Dexter Jackson needs to do more than okay at the 2010 Arnold Classic this weekend. But he is 40 years old and has [...]

Markus Ruhl Competing at the Olympia Shows That Size Does Matter thumbnail

With Dexter Jackson and Kai Greene winning the last two prominent titles in bodybuilding, it seemed that the worm started to turn as far as freaky mass taking home the biggest check. The Mr. Olympia contest has been dominated by size since Dorian Yates won his first Sandow in 1992, through the seven year-reign of [...]

One name that hasn’t been mentioned as a serious contender for the upcoming Arnold Classic has been Gustavo Badell. A good question is why not? The ‘Freakin’ Rican’ had a fairly successful 2008 in three top contests. He was the runner-up at the Ironman Pro Invitational, sixth in the last Arnold Classic and 10th at [...]
