I have always felt that a big part of my writing should be to save as many people as I can from making the mistakes I have made or witnessed others make in my 3.5 decades of bodybuilding. I’ve narrowed that list down to 10, and hopefully this saves you from yourself.
30 years of training, 20 years of competing, 15 years of working in the industry, and I’ve never once been to the Olympia. I don’t plan to go anytime soon either.
The 2016 Mr. Olympia ended up being more about Kevin Levrone than Phil Heath. Was it empty hype?
Be careful who you place on a pedestal. The ramifications may leave you highly devastated.
In a sport that has gone from high school stages to large Vegas venues, winning the Mr. Olympia has become much more than just having the biggest and best conditioned physique on stage.
