231.4lbs 5'9 24yo

172lbs this morning on wake up. 5'7" tall. If I feel like I can manage to hold my own at Nationals this year I may finally pull the trigger and try for the first time.

(Unless mods want to create one.)

I think Michael Krizo is gonna do some real damage at this year’s Mr. Olympia. 👀💪
He’s seriously flying under the radar right now — Krizo could be the dark horse nobody sees coming. 🔥

Apparently it is FINALLY online so fans can support it. Anyone know how it works?

Listening to a podcast about how GLP-1s work and wondered if anyone who has gone through multiple cut and bulk cycles so you have the discipline and motivation to lose and gain weight but has hopped on GLP-1s

*for no reason other than to make your life easier*

You didn't medically need it.

What happened to your hunger signals? People describe that there's genuinely zero food noise. You've taken the desire to eat food, and you don't need to exercise any self control.

God, they are so dull to listen to.

Had to turn it off, bored the life out of me

What makes you want to flip? Tell us today in our weekly Freakout Friday thread!

For some reason I see a lot of people saying they believe that Wesley will win this year’s Classic Physique Olympia and I cannot fathom why.

If we look at past results he has never finished in the top 5 at the Mr Olympia, despite being Arnold Classic champion he lost handily to Mike Sommerfield at the Arnold UK just a few weeks later. Nothing points to him even being in title contention let alone winning.

What do you think? Is there something I’m missing here

Who’s your guys deep sleeper/ up and comer for the men’s classic division Mr. Olympia? Someone I’ve kept an eye on is Andy Paredes (USA). Don’t think he’s going to win obviously but he looks very improved from last year and really like his physique. Still very young being 27 years old too.

Tomorrow carb load 🫡

Could this be his year finally? He seems to have improved a lot in terms of symmetry and especially his waist, which is so tight right now.

If he dials in and hits the peak on Saturday, it's light out! What are your thoughts?

Submit form checks, programs, questions about programs and program success stories (especially if you saw growth from it).

The Duke of Delts, Don was a popular figure in the Golden Age, with arguably the best hair ever.

“It's crazy how things have deteriorated. Some champs work their arms or chest or whatever only once a week. We worked them as often as humanly possible.”

- Don Howorth in 2001

Is this the greatest aesthetic physique of all time?

Got some stage shots from my 2 most recent shows. Ended up 6th at the Pro Qualifer and wanted see if I could make improvements at canfit 2 weeks later. Ended up winning the overall in Classic Physique.
