Thoughts...

Kai Greene's tagline, "Thoughts become things" is something I think about daily. Before you can do, you must think you can. Therefore resolve everyday to think about what you are trying to accomplish and in time, you will get there because it's been at the forefront of your thoughts. Visualization is so powerful, it creates emotions and feelings inside of you that you wouldn't experience otherwise. "Thoughts become things" is not just a way or saying "plan for your success" it's a way of saying "see it, plan it, think about it, becomes obsessed with it" and then it will happen.

You have to struggle a long time before you can be on top of the mountain, visualizing the view from the top will make the climb up seem a lot easier.

No matter what-keep believing in yourself!

The New York Pro 2020: Florida, the Temporary Empire State

New York Pro 2020, held in Tampa, FL this year. L ast weekend we were blessed enough to have an IFBB Pro show go off without a hitch this year, as so few things have gone hitch-free during the COVID Pandemic, as the New York Pro was held in Tampa, Florida.  As restrictions are not uniform and the state of Florida continues to be welcoming of all manner of gathering, the event was moved south this year and we have a brand new winner in Iain Valliere who beat out a handful of IFBB stalwarts and qualified for this year’s Mr. Olympia.       Since winning his first amateur show in 2010, the Canadian heavyweight had powerful start in the world of bodybuilding winning six amateur shows and earning his Pro Card in 2014. While earning a Pro Card in four years seems good enough, Valliere won every amateur contest he was in during that time in his homeland before traveling south to Mexico in his campaign to get the elusive Pro Card at the Amateur Olympia. Life as a pro has been more of a steady c

Mr. Olympia 2020: The Welsh Dragon Joins the Battle

  On the surface it would be easy to dismiss anyone competing up into a bigger or more competitive pool of contestants, especially for their first time doing so. Of course, to dismiss Flex Lewis, the “Welsh Dragon” and seven time winner of the 212 Mr. Olympia title for any reason, might be a poor bet to make. But is this year’s Olympia the best place for the Dragon do tread into open water? Maybe it’s the perfect time. This year’s contest is stacked, and while the favorites are the defending champ Brandon Curry and returning seven time champion Phil Heath, the last two years have shown us that the static that once held the Sandow in place for years and year, might have lost its grip. With two new champions in the last two years, the rise in competition could be the perfect place for a dialed-in Lewis to not only make a splash, but make history. Though he ran roughshod over the 212’s for years, he was almost always among the largest contenders-or at least those appearing to be the l

What's the Deal with Cedric McMillan and the Olympia?

Most of us proud meatheads fall into two categories with bodybuilding, we love the freaks like Ronnie Coleman or Roelly Winklaar or we champion the classic physiques of Frank Zane or Dexter Jackson. In the history of the Olympia we’ve seen that the judges tend to prefer a mix of both from year to year, but when the points get added up-they often don’t reward competitors with physiques in the middle. Such is the case with Cedric McMillan, the man who wins EVERYWHERE except the Olympia and there really isn’t a good reason why.   Cedric McMillan, champion bodybuilder and proud member of the United States Army McMillan came on to the scene a little over a decade ago winning his pro card in 2009 and won his first show in 2011. Since then he has competed in thirty IFBB Pro League shows and won eight of them, including winning a little show called the Arnold Classic (Columbus) in 2017. In fact, other than two early outings at the New York Pro, McMillan hasn’t finished lower than sixth place a
