The full uncut GI Exclusive interview with Mike Rashid.

Mike Rashid is a major influencer in the world of bodybuilding and fitness. In the past few months we have released GI Exclusive segments from our interview with Rashid highlighting topics such as drug testing in bodybuilding, vegan bodybuilding, social media promoting drug use, the ban of Shawn Rhoden, and clickbait in the internet era of bodybuilding. Now we have released the full uncut interview that covers these topics and a few others that didn’t make it into our release schedule.

Which is why our conversation became such an interesting interview. He carefully considers controversial issues such as Shawn Rhoden’s sexual assault allegations and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s call for drug testing in bodybuilding. But don’t be mistaken – that doesn’t mean he isn’t afraid to tell it like it is.

Mike Rashid also discusses his new life in the world of boxing, what he has coming up in his future, and how he feels about transitioning from being a man with mass into a leaner kind of athlete. Unlike many in the bodybuilding industry – Rashid finds himself much happier when he took off some weight and focused on a smaller but leaner physique.

You can catch the full hour long GI Exclusive interview above and don’t forget to check out our full list of GI Exclusive videos right here for the latest in trending topics featuring the top names in bodybuilding today.
