HUNTER LABRADA COULD SHAKE THINGS UP AT THE OLYMPIA
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
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
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
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@$T
BIG RAMY OUT OF PITTSBURGH PRO GUEST POSING AGAIN:VISA ISSUES? BULLS@$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
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?
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
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.

QUINTON ERIYA (QUINT BEASTWOOD) NY PRO: HE CAN WIN WITHOUT A WIN
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
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?
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
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.

I will be discussing the possibilities and be giving my thoughts how this will unfold.

IS QUINTON ERIYA 2ND PLACE THREAT AT NY PRO?
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
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.

SERGIO AND DORIAN PART WAYS
SERGIO AND DORIAN PART WAYS
Hello everyone. Today I'm gonna discuss what's been going on with the trainer/client situation with Dorian Yates and Sergio Oliva Jr. I hope you enjoy.
On a recent Menace Podcast, Chris Cormier revealed that Sergio is no longer working with Dorian. Chris did not give any details but being he is in Spain at the moment and his friendship with Dorian, the information is correct.
Neither Dorian or Sergio has made a statement but knowing how Sergio is, Dorian's mindset and approach to training, this partnership wouldn't last too long.
The truth is, Sergio has not accomplished anything significant, has always had an excuse and never displayed the right mindset and attitude.

Sam Sulek social media influencer and Hosstile sponsored "athlete" has answered the question we all have been waiting to hear answered. Natural or not? That's a personal choice but many young followers of his think he is and that he gets his physique from just training and eating like him.
He has revealed in a recent video he does use and that should dispell any belief he is natural. Those familiar with these things knew otherwise.
Will this effect his fan base? Will young kids turn to steroids to be like Sam or will people turn away from him feeling that they were mislead? He never mislead anyone, he just never discussed it.

CAN QUINTON PUSH NICK AT THE 2024 NY PRO?
CAN QUINTON PUSH NICK AT THE 2024 NY PRO?
Welcome to Muscle Central on YouTube. Today we'll discuss Nick Walker and his competition at the NY Pro.
Nick Walker is the clear favorite to win the NY Pro. That doesn't mean there won't be a competitive lineup. We have Stu Sutherland, Tonio Burton, Martin Fitzwater, Justin Rodriguez and Quinton "Beastwood" Eriya.
With Nick being the clear favorite, is there any that could possibly push him? Beastwood, with his shape and proportions along with the muscle he's put on, if he can come in conditioned, he can very possibly push Nick.
I am not saying Quinton will beat Nick, it's possible that he can make it so it's not simply a cake walk for Nick. We'll find out in a few weeks.

WAS PATRICK TUOR PREPPED BY MILOS SARCEV?-IS PATRICK PREPPING RAMY?
Hello everyone, today I'll be covering what transpired on a recent Menace Podcast.
Patrick Tuor, on a previous Menace Podcast, was very elusive when asked if he is working with Ramy prepping him for his Olympia return. He never really answered the question and seemed really uncomfortable when Dennis pressed him more.
Later in the Podcast Milos Sarcev brought up how he prepped Patrick for a show when Patrick was still competing. Patrick denied it and said Milos must have him confused with someone else.
Milos has a photographic memory and it's hard to believe that he is mistaken about Patrick. Whh is Patrick so elusive about whether he's working with Ramy and why would he lie about Milos prepping him.

BIG RAMY COMEBACK: CAN IT BE SUCCESSFUL? WIN THE OLYMPIA?
BIG RAMY COMEBACK: CAN IT BE SUCCESSFUL? WIN THE OLYMPIA?
Hello, fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilding aficionados! Today, we're going to dive into the intriguing topic of Big Ramy's return to the stage at the Pittsburgh Pro and the speculation surrounding his potential for a third Olympia title.
Big Ramy, known for his towering physique and impressive stage presence, has been off the competition scene since the 2023 Arnold Classic Ohio. However, he's set to reappear on stage as a guest poser at this year's Pittsburgh Pro. This news has fans buzzing about the possibility of him winning yet another Olympia title.
Firstly, it's important to remember that Big Ramy is now 40 years old. While age might not be a major factor in his performance, it does raise questions about his longevity in the sport. Secondly, mass monsters like Ramy don't usually compete for as long as smaller athletes due to potential joint issues and wear and tear on their bodies.
It's also been 1½ years since Ramy last competed at the Arnold Classic Ohio. This lengthy hiatus could impact his fitness level and stage readiness. His best performance might have been in 2017 - four years ago. And lastly, there are concerns about atrophy in his triceps and back muscles, as well as divets in his quads that could detract from his overall physique on stage.
Given these factors, it seems unlikely that Big Ramy will be able to capture another Olympia title this year or even make it into the top 5 contestants. However, we can still look forward to seeing him on stage as a guest poser and appreciate his continued contribution to the world of bodybuilding.
