It’s been a minute since I wrote for a bodybuilding magazine or website. The world we are living in.. holly shit; what a mess. But for the time being, let’s talk about the state of bodybuilding. What has bodybuilding become with all these new classes?
Classic physique I was doing in the early 2000s, we just didn’t have a freaking platform. Hence why I didn’t win my pro card competing in men’s open bodybuilding with a 26 inch waist. So many guys back then were chasing the Ronnie and Cutler show. Mind you, I changed my physical appearance completely, but over the course of 20 years.
Now we have a new bodybuilding champion Samson. What a cool name to have a Biblical giant. But what the f happened with the prize money? Does anyone understand economics? You get taxed on that money; there is a happy medium and a spread. Bodybuilding is an expensive sport, and to be in the Super Bowl of the show and have just the top five get prize money I thought that was really a travesty.
For instance, once you go over 350k, the taxes are the same in the USA, the top two at the Olympia were both from outside of the USA meaning that money won’t even be spent here. Economy bust! Bad look, or just bad planning? When Lee Priest competed, he pushed for everyone to get something. After all this is the best of the best. And travel is not cheap, sponsors don’t exist like they used to. Other than Andrew Jacked, I really have zero interest in watching guys flex. I can’t say the same for the classic physique, which Bumstead has made household famous. Something only Arnold could do. The power of the internet! With Bumstead moving to the open, will this change the sport? It’s relevant to say it could especially if he wins.
Martin is competing and a lot said he was the best conditioned athlete at the Olympia! So hands down, this is a real eye opener. Bumstead has big balls (probably physically small ones) for competing so soon after. Is it a challenge to himself or is he really trying to make a statement? You be the judge! I would love to hear your opinions on the subject. I really think this is the most impactful thing to happen to bodybuilding since Kai Greene and Phil Heath had it out on stage. Next question for you the reader is this: do you think Kai beat Phil at any of those Olympias? I want to know your honest answers! Trump won; things are shifting in our country, the world is waiting to see what will happen, peace talks in the Middle East. All in a matter of a week. Crypto currency through the roof ! Holy shit if you haven’t got in yet, use my link get us both 20 bucks!!

The world is about to change back to somewhat normal I hope like pre-covid! Hell yes, that would be good for all of us. Maybe I’ll even come out of retirement and compete again in bodybuilding. I never stopped training, just switched sports.
So what do you think of the supplement shilajit? I’ve just tried the stuff made by Iron Grips. Honestly, they copied my cow test product with the packaging and spoon. I guess that’s a compliment, right ? I think the stuff works, def get a clenbuterol type of breathing reaction. Where your sinus passage is clear and you feel as if you can take in more oxygen! I also noticed that you get horny as fuck. So horny you’ll wake up at 2 am with a rager and call up that fat chick who stares at you from the squat rack and fuck her for a hour, bust and call a Uber. It wasn’t even awkward seeing her at the gym the next day. What was awkward was she was wearing the same clothes she had on at 2 am. Does she even shower? Now I feel gross I’ll go wash my dick.
On top of the horny, you get that nice fresh cold air feeling. When you suck in some good oxygen, yes suck that down. Fuck, I took too much again, but for real I think it works. Worst off, that chick was taking it, too, so I think it has the same effects on chicks. Might be something to look into if you got a typical white girl gf who only gives it up on Friday night when she drinks a little too much. Hence why I only date woman from outside the USA. I shouldn’t say that too loud – immigration is coming. They better not take all the beautiful Asian and Brazilian women out here. Boys get in line and start marrying these woman up; you won’t be sorry. They cook, clean, and suck the chrome off your fresh ass daytons. Brazilians are OCD about cleaning, trust me. Your house will be spotless, and so will your cock. Especially when the food is extremely bodybuilding oriented. Rice, and meat, pretty much every meal. Asians, too. I love sushi, especially the warm fresh kind. But this could be me getting back into rant faze. Or story mode? Maybe a bit of both; let’s save one of those famous stories for next week! Is that ok with you? But let’s do a what if to finish this short to the point non-fact checked opinion.
If Dorian Yates of 1994, Ronnie of 1998 , Jay Cutler of 2001 (which was my favorite Jay) and let’s say Phil Heath of 2011 which he says was his favorite look… who wins and what’s the top four? Let’s go top five and we throw in 1998 Flex Wheeler. I want to hear you opinions and answers!!

If you want to read my books on lifting on Amazon https://a.co/d/g0pVwS1
If that don’t work, type in search paul desimone. I’ve got about 10 books mostly on arm and leg training. Mainly because I won the world championship for strict curl two times and trained both female and male world champs four years in a row. But who is counting? Breaking the world record three times myself and training over 10 world record holders. Don’t even start about squats. If you didn’t know, yes, I coached powerlifting for 10 years was a judge for 25 and still am. I was a player/coach, meaning I competed on my own team and coached the entire team. Anyways, now you know.
