The bodybuilding power couple open up about women’s bodybuilding and equality in the sport.

Every week, Iron Cinema will connect you with Generation Iron director Vlad Yudin. Giving you unprecedented inside access to the creative process behind his the Generation Iron Fitness Network. Get a first hand look at the entire journey of taking Vlad’s creative ideas to the big screen – from stories on set of films like Generation Iron and CT Fletcher all the way to exclusive behind-the-scene looks at our newest GI news and films. This week Vlad talks with the bodybuilding power couple Hidetada Yamagishi and Iris Kyle about the apparent demise of woman’s bodybuilding and fighting for equality in the sport.

Though it’s not often mentioned when people talk about the best bodybuilders in the sport… by definition Iris Kyle is the most successful bodybuilder in the world, male or female, period. With 10 Olympia titles under her belt – she holds the record for most wins in the prestigious competition. And yet we see that women’s open bodybuilding is on the demise. The Olympia has abandoned it completely. So too has the Arnold Classic competitions. Though Iris has claimed to be retired – I needed to sit down with her and also her partner and 212 superstar Hidetada Yamagishi to dig deep into the current issues when it comes to the IFBB and women’s bodybuilding. We cover gender equality, the “manly” nature of women’s open physiques, and how Hidetada managed to transition from the mass monster class into the 212 division. Watch my full interview above.
