Dexter Jackson gives his thoughts on Shawn Rhoden’s status as Olympia champion.

A CONVERSATION WITH DEXTER JACKSON – is a five part sit down interview with Dexter Jackson – the most decorated bodybuilders to ever exist in the sport including one Mr. Olympia win and five Arnold Classic victories. Dexter discussed with director Vlad Yudin about his legacy, his future, and the current state of bodybuilding. New episodes air every Thursday!

In Part two of our five part interview series with Dexter Jackson – we jump right into the topic of Shawn Rhoden as the current Olympia champion. A lot has changed since he first was announced the 2018 Mr. Olympia winner – and while Dexter doesn’t touch upon the recent allegations regarding Rhoden and sexual abuse, he does talk about whether or not Shawn Rhoden represents the Mr. Olympia title correctly.

Before the recent allegations – Shawn was already under fire for his lackluster guest posing at the Pittsburgh Pro. Is this the kind of public presentation a Mr. Olympia champion should allow to be shown on the stage? Even if it is only a guest posing? Dexter gives his thoughts.

Dexter then dives into his own journey of becoming Mr. Olympia. Having won the title in 2008, Dexter recounts his journey towards that memorable moment and what it meant for him to earn that title. Check it all out in this week’s episode of A Conversation With Dexter Jackson above!

Larry Wheels is being accused of mental and physical abuse by ex-girlfriend.

In another shocking twist to the fitness and bodybuilding industry, Larry Wheels is being accused by his ex-girlfriend of alleged mental and physical abuse.

Coming off the heels of some pretty alarming allegations against both Shawn Rhoden and Jeremy Buendia, Larry Wheels joins the growing list of accused fitness icons.


Chilasa King has recently released a video detailing the reasons behind her and Larry Wheels break up. The two were together for five years and were a staple couple in the powerlifting and fitness community. See Chilasa King’s video for more details on these allegations.

It must be stressed that King’s claims are still just allegations at this point in time. No charges have been brought against Larry Wheels.

Jeremy Buendia was just recently accused of physical and mental abuse by his ex-girlfriend as well. Could this be the beginning of a trend where secrets continue to be unveiled?

Generation Iron will continue to follow this story as more details become available.

THROWBACK: Larry Wheels Shows INSANE Strength! Does 315 Lbs Overhead Press For Multiple Reps!

Larry Wheels possesses a different level of strength.

We all know that powerlifting is a different beast than bodybuilding. But whether you’re a powerlifting fan or not, you have to appreciate just how impressive it is to obtain an inhuman amount of strength through consistent training and hard work.


Larry Wheels is the definition of power. He not only is a champion powerlifter, but he’s also built a powerful physique worthy of the bodybuilding stage. With his sights set on becoming the World’s Strongest Pro Bodybuilder, Larry Wheels continues to push himself and strive for more strength and physique gains.

We’ve seen him pull off some pretty insane lifts before, but never an overhead press, one of the more difficult lifts to perform. The overhead press can completely wreck your shoulders if you don’t have the strength and stability to pull off the movement. But Larry Wheels isn’t your average human being. For him, a 315 Lbs overhead press for reps is simply light work. Take a look at this awesome feat of strength.

315×6 overhead press. Just releasing some pent up frustration at the end. Don’t mind me I’m training to fight the mountain @thorbjornsson august 27th.

A hardcore training compilation video putting together two true monsters.

Ever since Martyn Ford dove into the world of MMA – fans have had dream match ups they would love to see. These likely won’t happen, but it’s fun to imagine dream scenarios that get us hyped up.

That’s why Bodybuilding Priest has put together this compilation video combining the training of Brock Lesnar and Martyn Ford to create a sort of “training face off” between the two. At the very least, it’s an amazing piece of bodybuilding motivation that will pump you up for your next training session. But beyond that – it can also open up the pointless debate of asking which of these two is more powerful? Pointless, yes. But also very fun to debate.

These Classic Physique competitors just might give Breon a run for his money at Olympia 2019.

We have dipped below the double digits and are just over seven weeks away from the Mr. Olympia 2019. And while the Men’s Open division has an extremely altered lineup making for a, let’s say, unique competition – the Classic Physique division is going forward focused and strong with the top competitors all ready to show their best on the stage.

Content partner Fazi Fitness has compiled the latest training and physique updates from the qualified Classic Physique competitors and based on what we are seeing, Breon Ansley might have his most challenging battle yet to remain the Classic Physique Olympia champion.

This division has remained a tight race year after year. Anything can happen as the division is still young with many athletes slowly coming into their own as they get their footing as to what judges are truly looking for in this category. Check out the video above and let us know if you think we’ll have a new champion come September or a repeat in the form of Breon Ansley.

Jeremy Buendia apologies for his stated anger issues while denying any physical abuse.

New broke earlier in July that Jeremy Buendia had been accused of physically abusing his ex-girlfriend Laura Amaral. Amaral posted pictures online showcasing her injuries that were supposedly due to Jeremy Buendia physically abusing her. Since then there had been a lot of fallout for Buendia including one of his sponsors, Steel Supplements officially dropped him. Buendia had been silent up until this point.

Jeremy Buendia has now issued a public apology via an Instagram IG TV post on his official account. In the video, Buendia admits to anger issues that he claims he will begin to get professional help for – and also admits to verbally abusing women in the past.

He also makes a point to deny any physical abuse stating, “I’ve never ever been convicted of any domestic violence towards a woman. I have never hit a woman in any shape, way, or form. I want to make that very clear.”

Nathan De Asha Pleads Guilty to Illegal Distribution of Anabolic Steroids

Nathan De Asha pleads guilty.

And the shocking news just seems to keep flowing as IFBB Pro Nathan De Asha recently pleaded guilty to distribution of illegal anabolic steroids. The Liverpool Echo reported on this news offering details on the situation including what charges Nathan De Asha has plead guilty to.


Via The Liverpool Echo:

“Britain’s top bodybuilder has admitted dealing in illegal anabolic steroids.

Liverpool-based Nathan Deasha, who performs with the nickname The Prophecy, sent a package of the class C drug through the post to a gym.

The steroids were found when police raided the Pain and Gain gym in Barnstaple in Devon in August 2017 while investigating an unrelated drugs case.

A sender’s address on the package led officers to alert colleagues in Liverpool, where Deasha runs his own body building studio.”

Most recently seen at the Vancouver Pro, Nathan De Asha has already qualified for the 2019 Olympia. But after pleading guilty to the sale of anabolic steroids it’s anyone’s guess as to if Nathan De Asha will compete at the Olympia this year. For now we’ll have to wait and see what judgement Liverpool lawmakers decide.
