Cedric McMillan Gets Successful Surgery

Cedric McMillan dealing with a broken hand. Now he has gotten surgery to fix his mitt, and is looking to get back to training soon. Anybody who knows McMillan knows just how tough of a man he really is. That has been on full display recently, as he has been dealing with this nagging hand injury, which ultimately forced his withdrawal from the 2020 Mr. Olympia. Not only did Cedric break his hand while training, which was bad enough, but he needed to get pins in his hand, and wear a cast all the way down his forearm. Of course, because he is who he is, that did not stop him from training, even with the cast. Now it seems that Cedric McMillan was back at the hospital, this time in need of surgery. He did not go into in-depth detail on what exactly the procedure was, but he did go under the knife to get more work on his hand. Posting to his Instagram, Cedric gave an update after the procedure. He was hanging out in the hospital after surgery, clearly under the aide of some heavy duty painkillers, which is something he is not used to. “Ol’ brother feels good as hell,” McMillan said, laughing. “They got my s—t done,” he added, gesturing to his hand. “My finger’s still f—ked up, but I’m ready to get back to normal.” It is actually quite entertaining to see McMillan under the influence of painkillers, clearly out of his mind. He even wants to score himself a Whopper from Burger King, as well as a milkshake. All Read the full article

Roelly Winklaar Shows Gigantic Guns Six Weeks Out From 2020 Olympia

Roelly Winklaar. He quickly reminded us not to forget about him with a crazy physique update with six weeks to go until the show. With so many big names competing at the 2020 Olympia, it is quite easy for a lot of still really exciting names to be passed over. The biggest example of this would be Winklaar, who has won the Arnold Classic Australia, and placed as high as 3rd at the Olympia, while looking like a killer in his prep for this year’s Olympia. Yet he is nearly forgotten about with the likes of Phil Heath’s return, Brandon Curry’s ascension, and Big Ramy’s special Invitation. That being said, Roelly Winklaar wants to be sure that nobody is truly forgetting about him. Taking to his Instagram, he decided to share a recent physique update that gave a glimpse of his arms around six weeks out from the 2020 Mr. Olympia. While it is not the most detailed update, it does a phenomenal job of reminding fans of how tremendous his arms are, and that he is still a legitimate threat at this year’s event. “My coach @ahmd_askr thinks my arms look bigger than my legs! 😏😂” Without seeing his legs, of course it is impossible to compare Roelly’s arms to them. While his coach is likely joking about them being bigger than his legs, Winklaar does have incredibly massive arms. It is possible to make a case that his are one of, if not the best in the sport. It is just a matter of getting the rest of his body to catch up to his phenomenal arms. Of Read the full article

Whitney Jones Preps For 2020 Olympia By Pushing A Truck

Whitney Jones is hopeful that she will make get her third straight win on the big stage this year. In her prep to do so, she decided to employ some pretty unique training methods. Few stories in Bodybuilding are as inspirational as that of Whitney’s. A few years back, she suffered a neck injury that kept her on the shelf for a year, and quite possibly could have spelled the end of her career. However she came back with a vengeance, going on to win the Fitness Olympia in the same year that she returned to competition. Then, as if this were not impressive enough, she followed this up with a second Fitness Olympia win, solidifying herself among the best athletes in the world. Whitney Jones is hoping to get her third straight Fitness Olympia title at the 2020 Mr. Olympia, in about three month’s time. In the efforts to prepare for this massive challenge, she has decided to use some fairly unorthodox training techniques. One such example of this was posted to her Instagram recently, and sees the two-time champ pushing a truck that is much, much bigger than her, around a parking lot with relative ease. “Truckin’ Tuesday! 💪🏼 Change up your workouts….push a Truck!” Some people truly thrive from doing unique training things like this, from time to time. It helps keep some athletes motivated, as it provides a reprieve from the normal types of training done within the confines of a gym. Keeping Read the full article

Ronnie Coleman Pumping Up His Pecs

Ronnie Coleman may not be the hulking mass monster that he was during his reign as Mr. Olympia, but his enthusiasm for the iron hasn’t seemed to diminish one bit. Despite his multiple surgeries and medical scares following retirement, Coleman continues to shares clips of his consistent training sessions. Of course, it’s always nice to have your own gym especially with all of the craziness going on around the world, a luxury that Coleman has with his $200,000 home gym setup. Aside from his gym sessions, Coleman has been staying busy with his business endeavors and just being involved where he can, and it’s still awesome to see the greatest of all time doing what he loves. Check out the clip of Ronnie Coleman pumping up his pecs with a set of bench presses. View this post on Instagram The King @ronniecoleman8 hit the gym with light wehights.

Flex Lewis Intense Arm Workout

Flex Lewis has been hard at work to bulk up his physique. He shared a glimpse of that training recently, crushing an insane arm session. In the midst of the insanely stacked lineup, and riveting storylines headed into the 2020 Mr. Olympia, an easily forgotten aspect is that Flex Lewis is moving to the Open Division. Having reigned over the 212 Division for years, the difficulties of keeping his weight low, in spite of his body growing, made things challenging for the former champion. Therefore he has been putting in the time on the weights, so that he can let his growing frame flourish, and hopefully make a big impact on the stage in December. In fact, one could argue that the fact that the Olympia was delayed by a few months was a blessing for him, as it has allowed him even more time to acclimate his body to the increase in mass. With the 2020 Mr. Olympia just over three months away, Lewis has really begun to dial in his training. It seems like every session is more intense than the last, and his recent posts to Instagram have proven that. He recently shared several clips of his arm training to his Instagram Stories, and it is clear that he is dedicated and focused on the task at hand. There are a lot of intense things that Lewis can be seen doing in these clips. The first clips see him knocking out some cable pulldowns, being sure to focus of his technique in order to get the best activation from his arms. Read the full article

Mr. Olympia 2020 Could Be Pay-Per-View

Mr. Olympia contest is one that will feature a ton of changes that will likely result in a much smaller audience attending. However it is apparently a possibility that the event will be available for pay-per-view purchase. As expected, given everything that has been going on in the world, this year’s Olympia has already underwent some changes. Not only has the date been pushed back to December, but the location was changed. Although much of the details and safety protocols are still be worked out for the event, it seems hard to imagine that there will not be some restrictions in the way of spectators attending the event. Not to mention that all of this is going down at the same time as ownership turnover, with Jake Wood purchasing the brand earlier this year. It would appear that some other interesting changing could be coming for the 2020 Mr. Olympia. Speaking recently on Monday Night Muscle, Wood revealed that they are looking to have the event available to purchase on pay-per-view. While there still a lot of details in the works, he says that this is something the brand is looking to try. “Provided that we can work out our plans, and achieve the things we want to achieve, we may be announcing some things regarding pay-per-view, here in the future,” Wood said. “There’s a lot of moving parts on it. That was one of the big developments we really wanted to put forward this year, but because had to change hotels and deal with all of that, it kind of got pushed back. Read the full article

Lee Priest: Phil Heath Return But Thinks He Wins

Phil Heath recently announced that he’d be returning to the Olympia this year. Heath did not compete at the Olympia last year after he lost to Shawn Rhoden in 2018. And with all of the uncertainty due to the current events, Heath mentioned in an interview a few months back that he’d have to see how things go and if everything lines up, then he’d consider stepping back on stage. Now, does everyone believe that Phil Heath is coming back? Probably not. Heath has been involved in other business endeavors and he even signed with TGC Management/Athleticon earlier this year. So naturally, people didn’t/don’t know what to think. To be fair though, he only took a year off, Kai Greene, on the other hand, has been teasing fans for a few years now and even Chief Olympia Officer Dan Solomon expressed his disappointment in a recent interview. Heath also only needs one more title to tie Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney for most wins ever at 8. He’s not getting any younger and the current health situation showed us that our life can change at any moment. But bodybuilding legend Priest doesn’t seem entirely convinced until he learns that a contract is signed. He recently shared his thoughts in an interview with Think Big Bodybuilding Media of which we’ve provided the details for you below. Priest started off by saying… “This is what I was thinking. It says I’m coming back to the O because I got unfinished business. Read the full article

Phil Heath Officially Competing At 2020 Mr. Olympia

Phil Heath said he was not retired, even though he was not competing. Now it seems like he is finally making that long awaited return, at the 2020 Mr. Olympia. After dropping his Olympia title to Shawn Rhoden, Heath decided to step away from the sport. It was a break that he enjoyed, and that was well-deserved. However fans were constantly wanting to know if he would compete again, which he said time after time was going to happen. It would seem that this time has finally come. According to a post to his Instagram, Phil Heath will finally be taking to the stage again. He will be doing so, at the upcoming 2020 Mr. Olympia, this December in Las Vegas. “It’s time to handle some #UnfinishedBusiness. See you at @MrOlympiaLLC this December.” Obviously this comeback has been two years in the making, and was already being flirted with days earlier. Fans never wanted to see him take 2019 off, and were even hopeful that he might change his mind when it was revealed that Rhoden was not competing. Nevertheless, he stayed steadfast in his decision, choosing to stay on the sidelines. Also watch: However now Heath is officially deciding to return to action. If successful in winning this year’s Mr. Olympia, he will have secured his eighth win at the event, which leaves him tied with Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman for the most wins at the show, ever. That would undoubtedly be a massive achievement, and a nice footnote to an already legendary legacy. Read the full article

Dwayne Johnson is known for having a home gym that is every athlete’s dream. For two elite athletes, their dream came true, as they were able to train with the Rock in this epic facility. Johnson’s “Iron Paradise” is about as nice of a home gym as one can buy. He has shown it off on a ton of occasions, and you can see the wall-to-wall machines and weights. The gym has virtually everything that even a fitness nut like him could need. It has even served as his main training ground to prepare for his upcoming superhero debut. Recently Dwayne Johnson decided to open up the doors of the “Iron Paradise,” letting some very lucky athletes train there. First there was NHL defensiveman PK Subban, who took to his Instagram to share his experience working with the Rock.

Phil Heath Updated List For Qualified 2020 Olympia Competitors

2020 has been a year filled with plenty of uncertainty and disappointments in general. And with the postponement of all major events early on, any news is much appreciated of which most would probably agree. So recently, the updated list of the 10 qualified competitors for the 2020 Olympia was released on the official website with some obvious changes made since the last update. One, in particular, that would really catch attention from fans is the fact that 7x Mr. Olympia Phil Heath is still on the list along with 9 other athletes. Heath didn’t compete last year after having lost to Shawn Rhoden in 2018 and one big question was when or if he would return. If he came back and won he’d tie for the most wins ever with eight along with Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney of course. Phil Heath Back Pose It’s not a sure thing at the moment although there’s a good chance he’ll make a comeback seeing what’s at stake.

Phil Heath Is ‘Biggest Threat’ To My Olympia

Brandon Curry won the 2019 Mr. Olympia, he did so without facing Shawn Rhoden or Phil Heath. Heading into this year’s event, he knows which of those two men would pose the biggest threat if they both were to return. There can be no taking away from what Curry accomplished at the 2019 Olympia, etching his name in history books with the biggest win of his career. However there have been people who were critical of the fact that he did so in a year that saw the legendary Phil Heath sitting out, and the 2018 Mr. Olympia Shawn Rhoden sidelined with legal issues. Therefore some questions remained as to if Curry could have replicated his success if facing these athletes who sat out. That being said, Brandon Curry is aware that these criticisms are present, and that one day he will likely have to face off against Rhoden and Heath. When asked by Shawn Ray and Bob Chicherillo who he thought would be his biggest threat between those two, and a seemingly retiring Dexter Jackson, Brandon’s answer was clear. “If (Rhoden and Heath) came back to the stage, of course Phil’s got the biggest pedigree. So he’s gotta be the biggest threat. He’s brought it to table so many times, and I am sure that he would love to match that record (for most Olympia wins). So if he does come back that would be the fire that drives him, so he would probably be the biggest threat. “But, you know you can’t count out Shawn Rhoden. He needs vindication, he’s been through a lot, and he has a lot to prove. Read the full article
