Ever since
I starting bodybuilding over 12 years ago, I have heard the same bodybuilding myths and advice over and over again. Things like; you have to do hours of low intensity, fasted cardio, don’t eat carbs 3 hours before bed, no fruit during contest prep, and my favorite……no water day of show. I thought I would touch on some of these myths and get to the truth.
As
you may already know, the IFBB MP Division is off to a screaming start this year. Competitors are coming in leaner and more full with a look that is of interest to the major fitness magazines and supplement companies. This is not an 'Trendy store with way too much perfume in the air' greeter competition, these are serious "brothers-of-iron" at their best.
The Powerhouse National Classic featured 14 of some of these top Physiques. They were stacked on a stage which found it challenging to hold all of the broad shoulders and tiny waists of these competitors. Under the hot lights and scrutiny of top IFBB judges, the Pro's strutted their stuff and following are the results:
1. Anton Antipov
2. Michael Anderson
3. Tyler Anderson
4. David Herskovitz
5. William Sullivan
6. Deniz Duygulu
7. Dean Fazzolari
8. Colin Wasiak
9. Michael Ferguson
10. Ian Lauer
11. Angel Cordero
12. Chris Mercadel
13. David Gonzalez
14. Robert Grote
We are just hours away from the next Olympia Qualifier: The Powerhouse National Classic. There, 13 of the top IFBB Men's Physique Pro's will be working to earn their spot on the big stage in Vegas. One competitor will guarantee their place while four others will earn points towards that goal. Here are the Pro's you will be seeing on the stage this weekend in Detroit:
A 
great composer can take a small musical motif and turn it into complete composition. In much the same way, workouts can be designed by taking a small number of foundational movement patterns (ex. Lower Body/Upper Body Push/Upper Body Pull) and organizing them into different structural formats. Between the vast array of possible exercises and many structural formats available the possible variations are almost endless.
Want
to hear a secret? Can you be trusted? No seriously, can you keep a secret? Ok, here goes. Grocery stores are a rip-off! Let me restate that. Grocery stores are a HUGE friggin’ rip-off.
Well maybe this isn’t a surprise to you but it certainly was to me after doing a little comparison shopping between my local grocer, a big box warehouse club and a “food service” store. I did my comparison shopping because I was spending money hand-over-fist to support my diet while shopping at a local grocery store. If your diet is anything like mine then you’re consuming “large” amounts of foods and can benefit from a couple of tips to save a few bucks.
The 
4th of this month marked yet another milestone in the Men's Physique division. Another competitor, Mark Anthony Wingson, has solidified his spot on The Olympia stage for 2013. The Top 5 at the show were:
1. Mark Anthony Wingson
2. Jason Poston
3. Michael Anderson
4. Sadik Hadzovic
5. Mathew Acton
