MARTIN FITZWATER TOP 6 AT OLYMPIA? WILL HE PASS NICK WALKER? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Martin Fitzwater. After qualifying for the Olympia at the Detroit Pro, Martin got an impressive 2nd place finish behind Nick Walker at the NY Pro. Going into his 1st Olympia, what can we expect from Martin? A top 10 placing is more than likely. How high can he possibly place in the top 10? A top 10 finish is more than likely. How high in the top 10 depends on a few factors but it would be very unlikely that doesn't make top 10. Most likely he'll fall in the middle.

WHAT WENT WRONG FOR QUINTON ERIYA AT THE NY PRO? Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Quinton Eriya and find out what went wrong at the NY Pro. Quinton fell far short from his and our expectations at the NY Pro. What went wrong for him? He didn't even make the first call out. Although he did make progress from his last show, he still needs more muscle mass. On top of that he depleted too much and couldn't fill up enough. What's next for him? He'll be doing the Toronto Pro. He wants to go to the Olympia this year. Is a good placing at the Olympia this year attainable if he makes it. What Quinton should do is shut it down, take another year and put on some serious muscle. At 6'2", Quinton stepped on stage at 260lbs. At that height he definitely needs more muscle.

NICK WALKER WON'T WIN THE OLYMPIA WITH NY PRO LOOK Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Nick Walker. Nick wins a questionable (in some people's opinions) decision at the NY Pro. Some felt Martin Fitzwater should have gotten the win. Was it a good decision and what can we expect at the Olympia? Nick definitely did not bring his best, although Nick says he did. He was conditioned and his abs are definitely well visible and etched but his waist looks thicker. He was definitely not blown out but thicker for sure. Over the last few years Nick has done a good job in bringing it down. This time it appears it's going the opposite direction. For Nick he needs to reevaluate what he's doing. Whatever he did to bring the waist down he needs to do again. If Nick wants win The Olympia title, he needs to bring a much improved Physique than he brought to the NY Pro. I hope you enjoy the video and thank you for tuning in today.

Nick Walker secures his ticket to the Olympia but some felt the decision should have gone to Martin Fitzwater. I'll be giving my thoughts on that. Quinton Eriya, who some even thought could win the show didn't even make the first call out. What went wrong for Quinton? As for 2nd-4th place I'll give you my opinion and let you know whether I agreed or not and if I had different placings. Lastly I'll give some brief thoughts on Nick Walker and the upcoming Olympia.

PRE-JUDGING 2024 NY PRO Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the NY Pro pre-judging for the Open division. As expected, Nick Walker is looking like he handily secured his ticket to the Olympia this year. There's a tough battle for 2nd-4th and a couple of surprises. Martin Fitzwater and Stu Sutherland appear to be battling for 2nd and 3rd. Both have brought conditioning. Stu appears to be carrying more muscle with Martin has better stage presence. Tonio Burton doesn't to be quite at his best which will probably put him on the 4th spot. He definitely didn't expect this outcome. Quinton Eriya, with all his gifts and even though he did add some muscle, definitely needs more muscle. He should just shut it down and take the time to add more muscle. All in all it is a packed and competitive lineup and the fans are getting their money's worth.

BIG RAMY WON'T COMPETE AGAIN Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Big Ramy. We were all disappointed that Ramy pulled out of the Pittsburgh Pro guest posing for the 2nd time. Most likely it's due to the way he looked, not visa issues. After all, in 11 years he never has had an issue. Ramy's issues with his physique in all likelihood will never be fixed. Where does this leave Ramy? What will his future hold? It's a very high likelihood we will not see him on the 2024 Olympia stage. He can not win the Olympia again. Even placing in the top spots is probably well out of his reach. The outcome would probably not go very well. If Ramy takes good consideration, he should realize his best days are well behind him He already won 2 Olympia's. He should rest on his laurels and retire. At the end of the day, I don't expect Ramy to be on the Olympia stage again and I don't expect ti see him ever compete again.

HUNTER LABRADA COULD SHAKE THINGS UP AT THE OLYMPIA Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Hunter Labrada. Hunter, the son of Lee Labrada, everyone had high expectations of him. He's accomplished things so far but many expected more from him by now. He's had 3 top 10 finishes with one a 4th place finish. It's a good career so far but he has dropped in Olympia placings. On stage at the Pittsburgh Pro he brought a lot more mass. If he can maintain that mass as he diets down, and brings the conditioning, he can be a very serious threat for the top Olympia placings.

2024 NY PRO TOP 5 PREDICTIONS - THE RETURN OF NICK WALKER Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the 2024 NY Pro and I'll give my top 5 predictions. We have the return of Nick Walker after suffering a hamstring injury that kept him out of last year's Olympia. Going into the show Nick is the clear favorite but that doesn't mean that it won't be a competitive lineup. It's a large and competitive lineup. With Nick the clear favorite, it's considered a battle for 2nd down. Nick, a former NY Pro winner is not the only NY Pro winner in the lineup. Last year's champion Tonio Burton plans on doing a repeat. When all is said and done this should be an exciting show and the fans should get their money's worth.

PITTSBURGH PRO GUEST POSING EXTRAVAGANZA Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the 2024 Pittsburgh Pro guest posing extravaganza. Every year many of the top Olympians gather at Jim Manion's Pittsburgh Pro for the guest posing. It's a way to show respect for Jim Manion and all he's done for the sport. This year we had Derek Lunsford, Nick Walker, Hunter Labrada, Martin Fitzwater, Samson Dauda, Andrew Jacked, Ramon Dino and Urs Kalecinski. This year it went a little different than usual. They came out for a brief individual routine then after Bob Cicherillo talked with Derek Lunsford, Steve Weinberger called the rest out and lined them up for comparisons before the posedown and then proceeding into the audience. The crowd loved it. Many see this as a preview to the Olympia but only 3 are actually qualified. Nick Walker is expected to qualify at th NY Pro. Either way, it was a good show and the crowd got their money's worth.

SERGIO OLIVA JR AND DORIAN YATES - WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take another look at the split between Dorian Yates and Sergio Oliva Jr. It's already known about the split but the details haven't surfaced yet. It's been speculated but nothing confirmed. On a podcast that was recorded before the split was made public, Sergio when asked about his next competition replied that it's on hold due to an ankle injury. Another in a long line of excuses. Knowing how Dorian is, his mindset and approach it makes you wonder if Sergio's whining and crying got to Dorian. I don't think Dorian would tolerate that attitude. Now we'll have to wait to find out the details of their split but Sergio's attitude could have played a major role in their split. At the end of the day, Sergio has not achieved anything significant in bodybuilding and is merely riding his father's name.

BIG RAMY OUT OF PITTSBURGH PRO GUEST POSING AGAIN:VISA ISSUES? BULLS@$T Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Big Ramy. Once again Big Ramy has pulled out of tha Pittsburgh Pro guest posing. Let's not forget how he did a no show no call a couple of years ago. This time Ramy stated visa issues prevented him from coming this year. In the past 11 years, not once did he have any issues getting a visa to enter the U.S. I find it hard to believe all of sudden he is having issues obtaining one. The most likely scenario is that he is not looking good and does not want to embaress himself on the stage. In all likelihood, his issues with his quads, lower back and triceps are still there. What will this mean for Ramy's future? Will he compete at the Olympia this year or will he even ever compete again? At the end of the day, it's highly unlikely that Ramy will ever return to his old form. Regaining the Olympia title, or even placing well, doesn't look very good.

IT'S OFFICIAL:SAMSON DAUDA WILL PREP IN KUWAIT AT OXYGEN GYM-WIFE IS PREP COACH Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Samson Dauda and his move to Kuwait for his Olympia prep. Samson has officially announced that he will be in Kuwait, training at Oxygen Gym for his 2024 Olympia prep. He has also informed us his wife will be doing his actual prep. How will this unfold? With Samson prepping in Kuwait, some potential problems can occur. First, as for his wife his prep coach, she will not be allowed in the training area at Oxygen where the men train. In that part of the country, the men are separated from the women. This, over time can cause a big strain on everything. How will this play out. Then, just the fact that all these changes are occurring just as his prep is begin start can be an issue. New atmosphere, new gym and a completely different culture. Remember, "when in Rome, do as the Roman's do". These are all unknown factors. We also have Samson's mindset. He's displayed in recent months some instability. We saw a semi meltdown after the Arnold Classic Ohio. He went on a tirade in response to comments on his social media and now he's in overdrive blocking 🚫 people on his social media. With all these things, how will these things effect the final package Samson brings to the stage at the Olympia this year? We'll have to wait to see how this unfolds.

SAMSON DAUDA+PATRICK TUOR VS MILOS SARCEV:SCHOOLYARD BEHAVIOR-WHO WINS? Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the ongoing situation with both Samson Dauda and Patrick Tuor and their issues with Milos Sarcev. Can the way Samson and Patrick are behaving effect future earnings and prize money for Samson, as well as potential sponsorship deals and for Patrick, the ability to acquire new clients? Samson, the manner in which he dropped Milos as a prep coach as well as blocking Milos and numerous others on Social Media, has displayed his true colors and character. Patrick, while denying he was prepped by Milos, does not come across as being honest. Most in the industry side with Milos, his 30+ years in the industry and the reputation he has acquired, that of being a stand up person. In both cases we see the display of their character, integrity and honesty which is questionable at best. Can this effect their ability to make moving the industry? What will happen if Samson is in a close battle. Will the judges be swayed subconsciously and lean towards the other competitors? Will potential sponsors avoid dealing with him? In Patrick's case, will potential clients avoid working with someone who they feel is not honest? Personally, no matter how good the coach is,if I don't trust them, I won't work with them. We whave to wait and see how all this unfolds. This is childish, schoolyard behavior that has no place in this industry.

SAMSON BLOCKS 🚫 MILOS, DENNIS JAMES AND CHRIS CORMIER ON SOCIAL MEDIA Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Samson Dauda and the latest with him and Milos Sarcev. Samson has pushed the block button on not only Milos but Dennis James and Chris Cormier. He has blocked those and a few others on his Instagram. In recent months, Samson has displayed a not so very professional approach. First, letting Milos find out through social media he was not working with Samson anymore. Now he's blocking people on social media. These actions don't speak well for Samson. Will this behavior have an effect on the way people in the industry view him? The judges, the ifbb and the bodybuilding media all see his behavior. Will this effect future sponsorships? At the end of the day, the behavior is childish to say the least. We will see how this effects his relationship with others in the industry. , Thank you for tuning in today and don't forget to hit that like button, share,subscribe and turn on your notifications so you don't miss any content uploaded.

ERIYA (QUINT BEASTWOOD) NY PRO: HE CAN WIN WITHOUT A WIN Welcome to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at Quinton Eriya and the NY Pro. Most have Nick Walker winning the NY Pro but does Quinton have to win to win? He's in an interesting position. Even a 2nd place finish can put him high in the rankings. The key is to be able to push Nick Walker, even a little. If Quinton can push Nick on stage, he will be seen as a serious top 6 contender the Olympia assuming he does qualify. He can very easily go to California the following week to qualify. Pushing Nick at the NY Pro would make him the front runner at the Cal Pro. So at the end of the day if Quinton pushes Nick. then goes on to qualify for the Olympia, he will indeed set himself in place for being top 6. We just have to wait. Over the next few weeks we'll find out.

PATRICK TUOR IS LYING-I'LL TELL YOU WHY I BELIEVE MILOS SARCEV Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at the Milos Sarcev, Patrick Tuor and their ongoing dispute. The dispute between Milos and Patrick goes on but who is telling the truth? Milos has been in this industry for over 3 decades and has a reputation for being a straight up honest person, willing to help everyone. On the Menace Podcast, when Milos mentioned prepping Patrick for a particular show, Patrick completely denied it. When Patrick returned for another podcast, things got real heated when Patrick essentially called Milos a liar to his face. Who's telling the truth? I'll discuss who I believe is telling the truth and who's lying and why. In the end, I don't see these two ever reconciling.

BODYBUILDERS GETTING MORE MONEY-WHAT THEY CAN DO TO HELP Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll take a look at bodybuilders and the money they make. Bodybuilders need bigger paydays. For the work they put in, the payout isn't very enticing except for the very top shows. They'll never make the kind of money as mainstream sports but they do deserve more. The Arnold has raised it's payout which is sure to push the Olympia to raise the prize money. Tyler Manion has announced an increase of 10k for Olympia qualifying shows. Bodybuilders also need to play their part. Many don't use social media to it's fullest. They are failing to show up at Olympia qualifying shows. If promoters are going to raise the prize money, they need more people in the seats. If you want more people in the seats, you need names on stage competing. That in turn can help get more sponsors. At the end of the day the bodybuilders need to do their part to help raise prize money. The IFBB and promoters can do more but the bodybuilders need to do more also.

BEST CARDIO TO GET SHREDDED-H.I.I.T. OR STEADY STATE? DOES IT MATTER? Welcome back to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today I will be discussing cardio for fat loss. Which is better, h.i.i.t. or steady state? Getting shredded to step on stage. Yes cardio is important. It can help you get body fat levels down to low numbers. At the end of the day it's a tool, not the foundation. You can get shredded without cardio. Diet is the foundation. The more precise the diet is, the less imperative the cardio becomes. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do cardio. Cardio can make it easier and there are other benefits. The big question is, which is better, Intensity Intervals or steady state? Neither. Despite what some might say, you can get in stage condition doing Intensity Intervals. It's a matter of preference.

CHAMPION MINDSET: TRAIN TO WIN Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central. Today we'll take a look at the mindset of a champion. Too often we hear a competitor say they be happy for a placing other than a win. Training for anything less than a win is accepting defeat. Once you accept defeat you set yourself up to lose. The mind is a very powerful tool and can make the difference between a champion and the others. The mindset during training, contest prep and stepping on stage should be I'm in this to win this. Anything less should be unacceptable. Thank you for tuning in today and don't forget to hit that like button, share and subscribe.

2024 MR OLYMPIA-WHAT WILL CHANGE? WHO WILL REMAIN? Welcome back to Muscle Central. Today I'll be discussing the upcoming Olympia and the 3 bodybuilding Divisions, Classic Physique, 212 and Open. We will have in 2 divisions a former champion trying to regain the Olympia title and 1 trying to claim his 6th title. Both Hadi Choopan and Shaun Clarida are trying to get the title back and Chris Bumstead trying to add another one. Will Derek Lunsford be able to hold off a determined Hadi Choopan and Nick Walker? Can Shaun Clarida knock off the current champion, Keone Pearson? Will Chris be challenged by a much improved Wesley Vissers? I will be discussing the possibilities and be giving my thoughts how this will unfold.

IS QUINTON ERIYA 2ND PLACE THREAT AT NY PRO? Hello everyone and welcome back to Muscle Central. We're gonna take another look at Quinton Eriya "Quint Beastwood" heading into the 2024 NY Pro. Most feel that Nick Walker has this win but where will Quinton Eriya end up? This is a strong lineup and should be a competitive competition. Quinton brings a lot of gifts to the table. He's tall, wide, great shape and structure. His weaknesses were always not enough muscle for his frame and conditioning. Looking at recent pics, it's apparent that he added a significant amount of muscle. Will he be able to hold on to it while dieting down and can he bring the conditioning? Now if Quinton can put it all together, with all that he brings he can and will be a serious threat for the rest of the lineup. In conclusion, if Quinton can put it together, conditioning and all, he is very capable of securing a 2nd place finish.

DEREK LUNSFORD BIGGER THAN EVER Welcome back to Muscle Central. This video will cover the latest update from Derek Lunsford. In this latest update, Derek looks massive. We have to remember this is not the first time we've seen Derek full blown in the off season. Both as a 212 and open competitor we've seen this before. When dieted down, it doesn't translate to the stage. Are people getting too excited too quick about Derek's new found size? We'll see when he steps on the Olympia stage in October. This is not case just for Derek. More often than not, what we see in updates does not translate to the stage. Either way, I'm sure Derek is training hard with the intention if retaining the Olympia title.

MILOS SARCEV VS PATRICK TUOR PT. 2: NO RESOLUTION Welcome to Muscle Central. Today I'll be discussing the ongoing dispute with Milos Sarcev and Patrick Tuor. The dispute between Milos Sarcev and Patrick Tuor continues on another Menace Podcast. Initially when Milos mentioned coaching Patrick for a show in the early 2000's, Patrick denied it and Never pressed the subject. On the next Menace Podcast, Milos gave details of the prep and even offered to bring on the mutual friend that introduced Patrick to Milos. Milos insists that yes indeed he prepped Patrick. After the 2nd Podcast aired, Patrick contacted Dennis James and wanted to clear things up. Patrick said he indeed met Milos and Milos imparted his knowledge on him but insists he did not coach him and did not follow anything Milos told him. Milos was very angry and does not like being called a liar. Why Patrick does not admit he worked with Milos is unclear but this is ending anytime soon.
