Will 2017 Witness a Changing of the Guard?
Last September 17th, Phil Heath duly won his sixth Mr. Olympia title, drawing level with Dorian Yatesí Sandow haul. Interestingly, after Yatesí final O win in 1997, the next year represented something of a seismic shift in the bodybuilding landscape. The pivotal change was Yates retiring through injury and Ronnie Coleman (who in 1997, no oneó not even Coleman himself saw as a future Mr. Olympia) ascending the Olympia throne. The 1997 runner-up, Nasser El Sonbaty, slipped to third and was never as good again.
It was Michael Francois last contest, and Charles Clairmonte called it a day after finishing 10th at the English Grand Prix, staged a week after the Olympia. The massive Jean-Pierre The Swiss Jeez Fux was seventh, and was never as high again. Once tipped to be a Mr. Olympia, the hulking Paul Dillett was fifth and from then on, started sliding down the rankings.
As that wave of competitors started to slip, others who would eventually become top contenders were coming forward. Foremost was Ronnie Coleman, who was ninth at the 1997 Olympia but then won eight consecutive big O titles. Future Olympia fixtures making moves were Jay Cutler, who made his pro debut in 1998 and Dexter Jackson, who that same year joined the paid ranks by taking the overall at the North American Championships. The freaky Markus R¸hl was rumbling onward, having earned his pro card in 1997.

Best Cardio for Fat Loss - High Intensity vs. Low Intensity
Low-intensity cardiovascular exercise is the most common way to reduce body fat, despite mounting scientific evidence showing this form of cardiovascular training may not burn body fat as effectively as high-intensity cardio. In addition, low-intensity cardio has also been shown to inhibit muscle growth¹2, making the use of this approach to enhance your physique even more questionable.
Are Unilateral Exercises More Effective Than Bilateral Exercises?
Bilateral exercises simultaneously use both limbs to lift the weight, so that the resistance is being shared between each limb.

BRYAN JONES: THE LORD OF CLASSIC RETURNS!
It seems like a decade has passed since the pandemic began in 2020. That was a chaotic year for all of us. MD sent me to Atlanta to cover the Chicago Pro, because restrictions in Illinois made it impossible to hold Tim Gardner's annual extravaganza there. The athletes still showed up in force to compete, and the Classic Physique division alone featured 30 men. When they came out to be adjudicated, one man stood out in a flash as the one to beat. I had never heard of Bryan Jones until that point aside from a vague recollection that he'd won the USA a couple of years before. With his braided and colored hair piled on top of his head in a gathered bun with the ends appearing to be some type of bizarre plant, I dubbed him \"The Kai Greene of Classic.\" That didn't stick, thankfully, because Bryan \"Lord\" Jones is a unique athlete in his own right. I knew I was looking at a man who was going to make waves in that division. A few months later he did just that, placing fifth in his first Olympia appearance. But we only saw him twice more after that, at the Arnold Classic and once again at the Olympia at the end of 2021. Since then, Jones has been working hard to build the additional size needed to successfully transition to the Open category. I spoke with him about his brief but notable time in Classic, and how he plans to make a big splash in Open.

HOW MUCH REST IS BEST?
Getting enough rest after weight training is essential for optimal muscle growth and performance. Unfortunately, many get insufficient rest because they simply disregard the fact that weightlifting breaks down muscle tissue, creating the requirement for adequate rest to fully recuperate.
Get Peeled With Extra Virgin Olive Oil
As you know, pathologic fat accretion results in obesity. The medical community and pharmaceutical industry have been struggling to address this burgeoning condition in the Western culture - particularly in the United States. Obviously, individuals have also been struggling in their attempts to avoid or correct unsightly or unhealthy fat gain. Imagine the shame these professionals and people must feel when they realize they may have been ignoring a risk-free, health-promoting, inexpensive dietary ingredient that can enhance fat loss. Bodybuilders seek potent drugs or supplements to force the metabolism to strip body fat to low single-digit percentages, but failing to acknowledge the foundation of diet can sabotage even their extreme measures.
CREATINE: THE BEST FORMS
New products and formulations are introduced to the supplement market every day. However, it is very rare for a product or especially an ingredient to create noteworthy evolution in supplement performance. Arguably, the greatest leap up this axiomatic evolutionary ladder occurred with the advent of creatine supplements in the 1990s. Creatine has proven over and over to be \"the real deal\" in clinical research and broscience. It's a muscle-building, performance-enhancing supplement that nearly all athletes should use.
