DANA LINN BAILEY: FITNESS ICON

Dana Linn Bailey, known simply as DLB to her millions of fans and followers, forged a unique path for herself in our industry as an athlete who became an entrepreneur and ultimately an icon who transcended our little world and gained mainstream appeal to millions of young women over the world whom she inspired. Though she only competed briefly as a professional, Dana embraced social media and YouTube from the start and used those platforms to spread her messages of female empowerment and loving your body whether or not you fit the cultural ideals at the time. I sat down and spoke with Dana about why she retired, if she will ever compete again, the never-ending \"natty or not\" debate that's always surrounded her, and her recently joining the team at supplement powerhouse Redcon1

RAMON DINO: BRAZILIAN CLASSIC PHYSIQUE SUPERSTAR

I often comment that the Classic Physique division blesses us with astonishing new talent every year. Until a few weeks out from the 2021 Olympia, I had never even heard of Ramon Rocha Queiroz from Brazil, who qualified shortly before that in his pro debut in Alicante, Spain.

CHRIS BUMSTEAD THE UNDISPUTED KING OF CLASSIC PHYSIQUE!

THE MOST DOMINANT MAN ON THE 2022 OLYMPIA STAGE There were some fierce battles onstage at the last Olympia among the various men's divisions. In Men's Physique, three-time Olympia champ Brandon Hendrickson squared off against eventual winner Erin Banks. The 212 division saw two former O champs, Kamal Elgargni and Shaun Clarida, face a vastly improved Angel Calderon Frias from Spain, with Clarida recapturing his title. And in the Mr. Olympia, it went down to the wire between Derek Lunsford and Hadi Choopan, with The Persian Wolf walking away with the Sandow trophy. But with all due respect to the incredible newcomers Ramon \"Dino\" Queiroz from Brazil and Germany's Urs \"The Miracle Bear\" Kalecinski, 27-year-old Chris Bumstead won his fourth Classic Physique Olympia title the minute he stepped onstage. Many had felt his condition had slipped a notch from his win in 2020 to 2021, but at a little over 6-foot-1 and 240 pounds, C-Bum was shredded, dry and deeply separated to a degree we had never seen before. He oozed a quiet confidence with a smile, and the crowd went bonkers with his every move.
