Just returned from the 2010 Arnold Classic. Was a great show this year. The Arnold Classic is far more then just oiled up IFBB pro bodybuilders posing on stage, it’s the largest sports festival in the US. The mens pro show gets more then enough coverage in the magazines and such… I enjoy covering the other aspects, like the expo, various sports (last year I covered Fencing, O lifting, and PL for example), gadgets, and yes, more pretty girls. I like pretty girls…
So, warning to viewers: if you are expecting/looking for, IFBBs pro bodybuilders on stage, you wont find it in this vid. I thought this year was particularly good for new exercise related gadgets, many of which were of that super simple “why the hell didn’t I think of that?!” variety. One of them I recently covered on this blog for example, the GymBoss Interval Timer. Another was the Fat Gripz you will see me using in the vid. May do a write up on that product in the near future. There’s also a new magazine on the market, called Muscle Insider, that looks very promising (reminds me of ‘old school’ MuscleMedia…) that yours truly will be in on semi regular basis.
So without further delay, here’s this years vid, BrinkZone style.
As mentioned in a prior blog, I was a (minor) sponsor of an MMA event. The name of the event was “stand Up and Fight” and was held Feb 19th in Tyngsboro MA. There was some great ‘ground and pound.’ I was really impressed with how professional the athletes were and the level of sportsmanship they showed; as good as it gets. I have been to a ton of bodybuilding shows, power-lifting meets, etc as both judge and or attendee,  the behavior was less then professional by some and that’s a real turn off. Trophies smashed, people storming off stage, and general hissy fits. These guys, after beating the snot out of each other, to a man, showed sportsmanship and professionalism that really impressed me.
Hey, make sure to share this via Facebook, Twitter, etc! Thanx!
If you have not read the full article on this topic, you may want to do so after watching this vid. If you just want the quick “down and dirty” facts about this category of supplements, here’s the vid:
“Testosterone boosting” supplements/formulas have become a very popular category in the supplement industry of late. It seems everyone, boy or man, seems to want to “boost” their levels of the hormone that makes men men. Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of this hormone, and readers can see that via my other writings on the topic found throughout this web site. Everyone, men and women, can potentially benefit from maintaining optimal levels of this essential hormone. Read more
No, I have not gone into strong man competitions, ’cause I aint that strong! I did however attend the Paxton Strong Man V competition to support my pal, part time moderator of my forums, Training Assistant to OptimalSWAT, and top S&C coach John Sullivan. The Paxton Strong Man competition is sanctioned by the NAS and is an important competition to the New England Region. Here are some highlights from that Paxton Strong Man V competition:
Folks, here’s Part 2 of the conversation between our well informed intrepid hero and the clueless kid who falls for every new over hyped products that comes along….Same as before: before you watch this understand , this comes with an “adult” rating , don’t watch it then moan to me that I swore in it.

If I have to read one more guy on some bodybuilding forum tell everybody how some over hyped bodybuilding supplement is going to make him “massive” in 4 weeks, I’ll pull my hair out, I made this video to let off steam at all the supplement B.S, there is doing the rounds right now.
Let me know if you enjoyed it in the comments section below, if there’s enough interest, I’ll make some more. If you have a Youtube account do me a solid and rate it for me, if you have a twitter account or facebook account then retweet this or Facebook it , thanks.

Yes folks, there is a “Cookie Diet.” I briefly review this diet program in this vid:
A while back, I wrote an article entitled “So You Wanna Be A Fitness Model?” which covered more of the marketing and networking for those who aspire as figure and Fitness Models. The article covered in depth how to “make it” as a Fitness Model.
Since writing that article, I have had several well-known IFBB pros tell me they wished they had had such a guide when they were starting out, so if you have not read it, I suggest you do! I think this video is a nice compliment to that guide as it covers the general requirements on the competing side. No, it will not give any new info to the seasoned competitors, but for the newbie and those considering competing, it gives some good general guidelines on what the successful Fitness model has on stage.
When ever I hear a statement like that in response to some topic being discussed, it makes me cringe. This vid called “Skewed Views of Science” will be the best few minutes any non-scientist can spend. It examines the pitfalls of arguing against science from incomprehension or emotion. It will also be very helpful to those scientists and or science minded people who get frustrated when dealing with those who do not understand the basics of the scientific method. Read more
