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

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 [...]

2009: One Helluva Year in Bodybuilding

12 months ago, Dexter Jackson fans had no complaints. ‘The Blade’ was coming off a four-for-four sweep of all the contests that he entered, most importantly the Arnold Classic and Mr. Olympia. He dominated the professional bodybuilding ranks and was easily the sport’s MVP.
But 2009 was a totally different one, in that two great stories [...]

Jay Cutler Reclaims the Mr. Olympia Title, Branch Warren Runner-Up

Becoming the first to reclaim the Mr. Olympia title, Jay Cutler defeated what has been called the deepest line-up in the contest’s history. The Las Vegas resident was the clear-cut fan favorite and obviously impressed the judges just as much.
“Everyone wrote me off,” he said on stage right after the announcement. “It’s a huge achievement [...]

Kevin English All Business Leading Up to the 202 Olympia

Since the 202 division has become its own entity, there has been a classic one-two punch reminiscent of the days of the Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier battles. David Henry and Kevin English are playing the parts of the pugilistic pair from a generation ago and have gone toe-to-toe in their prior meetings.
The first one came at [...]

How Will Victor Martinez’s Personal Tragedy Affect His Olympia Showing?

It is difficult to imagine what Victor Martinez has gone through recently. To have one of your siblings go missing and then found to be the victim of a heinous crime is enough for anyone to accept. The emotional highs and lows during the time frame before Eridania Rodriguez’s body was positively identified must have [...]

Markus Ruhl Competing at the Olympia Shows That Size Does Matter

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 [...]

Dennis James Could Be a Top-6 Olympia WIld Card

All of the names being spoken about as favorites to win or place high at the 2009 Mr. Olympia contest have made the rounds. No one is disputing that Dexter Jackson, Jay Cutler, Dennis Wolf, Phil Heath, Kai Greene and Victor Martinez will have something to say come September, but there’s one man who has [...]

Comeback Kids – Kai, Victor & Branch

Coming back from any serious injury is a difficult to ask for an athlete. Times that by 10 when you’re a bodybuilder. Although you may not be able to train that one body part (or even at all) for a length of time, you still have to remain active in some capacity because you cannot [...]

Vic Richards Missed His Calling

There are times when an athlete hits his prime in an era that doesn’t fit. Victor Richards is a prime example of that. When he burst onto the bodybuilding scene back in 1982, such massive size was not commonplace on the contest stage. His 5′10″ frame packed on an incredible 370 pounds of muscle during [...]

Can Jay Cutler Bounce Back?

For a two-time Mr. Olympia winner, Jay Cutler has taken a lot of criticism over the years. Maybe it was because he unseated Ronnie Coleman, who had what was almost like a cult following with his eight straight wins, matching the record of Lee Haney. People said that Cutler was too thick in certain areas [...]
