DEREK VS HADI: TENSION IS HIGH - HANY IN THE MIDDLE Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Derek Lunsford, Hadi Choopan and the dynamics with them sharing a prep coach, Gany Rambod. For 2 years in a row Hany has coached #1 and #2 in the world. Their placings swapped but he was their coach and also employer. Evogen, Hany's company, sponsors both Derek and Hadi. Many in the industry feel that Hadi will regain the Olympia title. If Derek loses to Hadi, will he start to question whether Hany showed Hadi favoritism? Derek has displayed insecurity in the past. It wasn't too long ago when. Derek, Nick Walker and Samson Dauda did a training session for Olympia TV. He was very reluctant to take his shirt off. It wasn't until being pressured and called "scared". Even then he wanted optimal lighting. With Derek's insecurity, will he start to question Hany's loyalty? Having 2 horses in the race is tough. Having 1st and 2nd 2 years in a row is really tough. Having one with insecurities and the other having a cultural tie with and can communicate with in a different language can lead to a very tense situation. If Derek starts having these doubts could it lead to a parting with Hany? We'll have to see what happens come Olympia time.

ANDREW JACKED DOMINATES THE TEXAS PRO: WHAT ABOUT THE OLYMPIA? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Andrew Jacked and his 3rd consecutive Texas pro win and his Olympia qualification. As expected, it was Andrew's show to win. He did as expected but was it his best package. He definitely displayed some added size but did he sacrifice some conditioning in the process? His 2023 Olympia and 2023 Arnold packages brought better conditioning. It would have served better if he came in a few pounds lighter and a little better conditioning although in this lineup it really didn't matter. Moving forth the Olympia he should be 1st call out and land in the top 6. Can He place higher and challenge for the title? I'll discuss that in this video.

ANDREW JACKED 300LBS AT 2024 TEXAS PRO Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Andrew Jacked as he's headed into the Texas Pro for his 3rd straight win there and another Olympia qualification. At the weigh-in Andrew tipped the scales at 300lbs. This is 20lbs. over his previous contest weight. Will this work in his favor or will it work against him? It's very unlikely Andrew put on 20lbs. of lean muscle tissue in such a short time. The question us,will he bring the conditioning along with the added size? We will find out shortly.

QUINTON (QUINT BEASTWOOD) ERIYA READY FOR 2025 Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Quinton Eriya AKA Quint Beastwood. After a disappointing showing in NY and a little better placing in Toronto, Quinton is taking some time to make the improvements needed. He split with his coach Matt Jansen and is now prepping himself. Quinton has all the gifts and if he can put on the necessary size and maintain the conditioning, he can go a long way.

HUNTER LABRADA AND ANDREW JACKED CUTTING IT CLOSE TO QUALIFY Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Hunter Labrada and Andrew Jacked and whether their Olympia qualification strategy is a good one. With very few Olympia qualifying shows left, Andrew and Hunter might be cutting it real close. If one or neither win their respective shows there's very few left to choose from. They can potentially miss the Olympia this year. Why these athletes aren't jumping into shows right after the Olympia to qualify for the following year, I don't understand. It would be a shame if these two don't make it to the Olympia stage.

OLYMPIC CONTROVERSY REALITY | HUNTER VS RUBIEL IN ITALY? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take another look at the women's boxing controversy at the Olympics and the possible showdown between Hunter Labrada and Rubiel Mosquera in Italy in few weeks. As for the women's boxing, it appears that things are a little more complicated than first look. There are medical/developmental anomalies that can occur. The boxer could have xy chromosomes and have female genitalia, although extremely rare. Testes can be internal but still producing testosterone. The other possibility is that they were born hermaphrodite and the male genitalia were removed. Either way with xy chromosomes, they went through male puberty and have the same advantages any other man would have. In a few weeks we have a possible showdown between Hunter Labrada and Rubiel Mosquera in Ita Italy. Both Rubiel and Hunter have had conditioning issues. With Hunter, it was mainly due to his primarily liquid diet. He blended his food. Rubiel on the other hand gives us the impression that his head really isn't in it. Both have something to prove and an Olympia qualification is on the line.

MEN VS WOMEN-OLYMPIC BOXING|RUBIEL, PROVE ME WRONG Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the Olympics and women's boxing along with another look at Rubiel Mosquera and his "rebuttal" of his comments about his sponsors "forcing" him to do things he doesn't want to do. If not bad enough the Olympics have turned their opening ceremony into a drag show, they're allowing men vs women in women's boxing. Someone is gonna get seriously hurt or even worse, killed. There must be an end to this insanity. As for Rubiel, he now says "fake news" about what was said regarding his sponsor. NEWS FLASH, it was Rubiel who made the comments about his sponsor. Please watch the video to the end and find out my thoughts on both topics.

BADER BOODAI RAISES THE STAKES - 2025 DUBAI PRO 200K Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Bader Boodai and his plans for the 2025 Dubai Pro. This Year the 1st place prizes were as such: Open 100k, Classic Physique 60k, Men's Physique 40k and 212 20k. These are good numbers. After this year's show, Bader announced that next year the prize money will double. A first place prize of 200k is sure to attract top Olympians to the show next year. With the money to bankroll this,which Bader has and the popularity of bodybuilding in the Middle East, this show is sure to grow even bigger. The Olympia will always the crown jewel, the best bodybuilder in the world. However, the Dubai Pro can potentially challenge the Arnold Classic Ohio.

RUBIEL MOSQUERA IS ANOTHER VICTOR RICHARDS - MORE EXCUSES Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take another look at Rubiel Mosquera and the "controversy" that's building up around him. Rubiel Mosquera seems to be coming up with excuses that seem far reaching to say the least. Leading up to the Dubai Pro there were already excuses why he might not look his best. His excuses and the fact that Chris Cormier came out and called "bullshit", doesn't look to good for Rubiel. He's leaving lots of doubts about his future. Let's not forget that in the few months since turning pro he's pulled out of 3 shows already. In this video I'll discuss this, and what to expect from Rubiel in the future. I will be watching what unfolds and will keep you posted.

BEHROOZ TABANI WINS DUBAI PRO Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the Dubai Pro and the top 4. Behrooz Tabani took 1st place with William Bonac taking 2nd. Nathan Deasha takes 3rd while Rubiel Mosquera settled in at 4th place. Behrooz got his 2nd Olympia qualification win. Let's hope Tabani can get into the country to compete at the Olympia. If not it will be the 3rd Olympia he will miss. Many were disappointed thinking Rubiel could win the show. Unfortunately for him,things didn't quite work out. He stated that he didn't want to compete being sick but his promoters "FORCED" him, if you believe that. All in all it was a good show and the prize money will increase next year.

IS RUBIEL READY FOR DUBAI? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Rubiel Mosquera and see if he is ready for the Dubai Pro. In a very recent update from Rubiel, he already started giving excuses for why he might not look like we're expecting him to look like. This tells me that we will probably not see a great showing from Rubiel, that's if he even shows up. Remember, he pulled out of three of four shows. According to Rubiel, he never wanted to drop his coach and go to Oxygen gym Kuwait and didn't want to do the Dubai show. His sponsors "made" him. Things seem a little sketchy. I will discuss this in the video and give you my thoughts on this whole situation involving his sponsors and how credible Rubiel's are. Are we look looking at another Victor Richards?

Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Brandon Curry and what really happened between him and coach Abdullah, the truth behind the split. Previously I gave Brandon a good shot at the top 5 or 6 at the Olympia this year. After finding out more about the split between Brandon and Abdullah, I am second guessing myself now. It appears that Abdullah wanted to start prep at a much sooner date. Brandon had plans to return to Kuwait 11 weeks out from the Olympia. Abdullah felt it wouldn't be enough time and chose not to do the prep with Brandon. Knowing that Brandon is doing a shorter prep and that Abdullah knows Brandon's body well, I think things might not go to well for Brandon. Either way, anything short of an Olympia win, which is not realistic, I expect Brandon to announce his retirement.

WOULD LEE HANEY HAVE DOMINATED THE MID TO LATE 90'S AND EARLY 2000'S? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Lee Haney and what If he came along in later years. If Lee Haney came along in the mid to late 90's or early 2000's would he still have been a Mr Olympia and dominate bodybuilding. After Lee, the face of bodybuilding changed dramatically. Dorian Yates ushered in the era of the Mass Monster. Ronnie Coleman took it to another level. Lee in his prime was 240lbs at 5'11', while Dorian at the same height was pushing 260lbs. Ronnie was at 290lbs at 5'11" while Jay Cutler was in the 270's in 2001. All brought conditioning. The increase in mass was dramatic. The question to ask is would Lee choose to take it to the next level, cross the line and push the envelope? I'll discuss in this video what I think Lee would do.

TIM BUDESHEIM - BODYBUILDING WORKHORSE - OLYMPIA CHASING Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Tim Budesheim and his quest to get his ticket to the Olympia. Not blessed with the best structure but Tim has a good amount of muscle with conditioning. He's been very consistent with the look he brings to the stage. Unlike others who look for the easiest show to win, Tim is out there competing. He's not trying to strategize, he's just competing. You have to take your hat off to Tim, being out there and competing. I find myself rooting for him and hoping he can qualify for the Olympia.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the 212 division and whether it's needed and if so, why it's needed. Jon Jewett is just the latest to come from the 212 division to the open and has had some success already. He secured his ticket to the open Olympia stage. We've seen a number of 212's step on the open stage and be successful. Two became Mr Olympia, Hadi Choopan and Derek Lunsford. The question is, if these 212 competitors can be successful in the open, why have a 212? Yes, some can easily transition from the 212 to the open. Some like Shaun Clarida who at 5'2" will be at a disadvantage in the big shows with an Olympia quality lineup. He won't get a fair placing. We saw it at the Arnold. Another point is the smaller bodybuilders turning pro won't have to rush putting on size to be competitive. With a 212 division, the smaller bodybuilders can take time and grow into the open division at a safer pace.

IS RUBIEL READY FOR DUBAI? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Rubiel Mosquera (Neckzilla) and his Dubai Pro prep, how he looks 2 weeks out and if he's where he needs to be. We'll find out what Chris Cormier (who's helping him) thinks. He didn't say much but sometimes a lack of words say a lot. Rubiel Mosquera (Neckzilla) will be stepping on stage in 2 weeks at the Dubai Pro. Hopefully he'll be there considering he pullout of 3 out of 4 shows. He won't have an easy task with Akim Williams, Nathan Deasha, Behrooz Tabani and William Bonac in the lineup. He doesn't necessarily have to win in that lineup but he does need to make a good showing. If he comes in and at the very least makes a good showing, he will show us that he's going in the right direction. It's only a couple of weeks till we find out. That's assuming we do see Rubiel on stage in Dubai. I hope you enjoy this video and be sure to like, share, subscribe and turn on your notifications so you don't miss any content uploaded.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the Olympia, too many competitors and how to fix the problem. Enter Behrooz Tabani, Nathan Deasha and William Bonac, all 3 Olympia qualified and still competing. Some say they're stealing qualifications from others. Well if they're winning, they're not stealing anything. If qualified competitors compete and win again, that's less competitors on the Olympia stage. That's good. It gives the judges a chance to give the competitors a better look. It separates the good from the best and we get to see the best of the best on the Olympia stage. In this video I'll discuss this and give you my thoughts on this.

BODYBUILDING FATALITIES - ARE THEY ON THE RISE? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll discuss whether bodybuilders are dying at a higher rate than years past. With the most recent death, the question again arises, why are so many bodybuilders dying? Is it the dosages of drugs, the wide variety of drugs or something else? Social media and the internet allows information to travel immediately and ee have access to news that we otherwise wouldn't. This could have an effect on numbers. You need to consider the number of athletes competing as compared to years prior. The more competitors, the numbers go up. That doesn't mean the percentage goes up. At the end of the day, yes some are abusing and that is a factor. Everyone needs to take responsibility of themselves and get regular checkups.

OLYMPIA DYNASTIES - WINNING 3 OR MORE - WHAT WILL IT TAKE Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the Olympia and the likelihood of another Olympia dynasty, (3 or more wins) and what it will take to do it. Between 6 men there are a total of 36 Olympia titles. In the past, the champion generally had the home field advantage. Are those says coming to an end? Since 2019, the last 5 years, we've had 4 different champions. Is this signaling a change? It appears so. It's not impossible that there will be another dynasty, much harder but possible. What will it take for a bodybuilder to win multiple Olympia's. In this video I will discuss what I think about an Olympia dynasty and what it will take to accomplish that.

THE GREATEST MR OLYMPIA - HOW DO WE DECIDE? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the greatest Mr Olympia and how we decide and the criteria used. In this video I will discuss my view of this. The age old, continuing question is, who's the greatest Mr Olympia? The answer varies depending on who you ask. Ronnie Coleman, Lee Haney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Phil Heath or Dorian Yates. You can make an argument for any one of them. Many say that Ronnie's physique at his prime would beat any other Olympia champion, but is it really fair to compare Ronnie's physique to Arnold's? They're 2 completely different eras separated by 20+ years. Every multiple Olympia winner has at least one questionable decision except for one of them. Ronnie, Arnold, all of them had at least one questionable, perhaps very controversial Olympia win. Watch this video and find out who that is. I'll discuss the criteria used and how to make that assessment.

SAMSON DAUDA OXYGEN GYM OLYMPIA PREP - WILL IT WORK? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Samson Dauda, his Olympia prep in Kuwait and whether it's the right move. Don't forget to leave a comment. With Samson Dauda prepping in Kuwait at Oxygen Gym the question arises, is it the right move for Samson? Will he find in Kuwait what he was otherwise missing? Oxygen gym doesn't have a reputation for bringing athletes in super conditioned. They bring that crazy size. It's reported Samson is 240+ lbs. Samson doesn't need size, he needs better conditioning. We are just going to have to wait and see what Samson can bring to the stage. If it's more size without improved conditioning, it might not be a good night for Samson.

RONNIE COLEMAN 2003 OLYMPIA - WILL WE EVER SEE ANOTHER? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Ronnie Coleman and the look he brought to the Olympia stage in 2003. In 2003, something walked on to the Olympia stage that turned the audience silent. That something was Ronnie Coleman. At a reportedly 290+ lbs and shredded, he was something from another planet. Was it Ronnie's best overall look? Many feel 98' and 99' were better overall looks, what we saw in 03' was insane. The combination of size and conditioning was jaw dropping. Will we ever see anything like the 2003 Mr Olympia Ronnie Coleman again? Unless someone comes along with the crazy genetics of Ronnie, the answer is most likely no. I would love to see in my lifetime a physique to grace the stage that could match or surpass the 2003 Olympia version of Ronnie Coleman.

WILLIAM BONAC: 2024 OLYMPIA AND BEYOND Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at William Bonac, his Olympia qualification, the Olympia and beyond. Even though he's already qualified, William Bonac will be doing another show, the Big Man Pro in Portugal. He wants to show that his win in Spain was no fluke. He's the favorite going into the show and most likely will get the win. What can we expect from William at the Olympia and afterwards? Can William possibly win the Olympia or place top 5. An Olympia win is not realistic but a top 5 or 6 is not out of the question. If William places well, will it motivate him to continue? If he continues will he be able to improve and become a threat to win? Those days are gone but with a good placing this year, he should consider going out on a high not. Watch this video and find out what I think about. I hope you enjoy this video and be sure to like, share, subscribe and turn on your notifications so you don't miss any content uploaded.

FOUAD ABIAD ON THE POWER PROJECT Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Fouad Abiad and his appearance on Mark Bell's Power Project. While on the Power Project podcast, the subject of Sam Sulek came up. Fouad didn't mention why he and Sam parted ways but he did state that in his athlete's contract that they can't be on weekly podcasts or have their own podcast. This is something he said in public, so it makes you wonder what other things are there that he chooses not to discuss. To not even allow them to do their own podcast you're preventing him from earning more revenue. If Sam were to do business with a rival company, that's understandable. Running his own podcast would in no way be a conflict with Hosstile Nutrition. It looks like accusations thrown at Fouad over the previous months have some credibility. How will this effect his company over time? Let's see if Fouad reveals anymore details involving his contracts.
