Sometimes you don’t chose a name, the name chooses you. Bodybuilders have had a long tradition of adapting stage names – either by choice or given to them. Sometimes the name is fitting, sometimes it’s not. This week we put together what we think are the top ten best nicknames ever to take stage.

Phil Heath Changing the Face of Bodybuilding
This week we took an in depth look into the social life of Phil Heath – and by that we mean his life using social media. Whether it be connecting with the fans, spreading bodybuilding news, or providing thoughtful insights – Phil Heath is providing an engagement that the rest of bodybuilding should follow.
Of course, this week also brought the tragic news of Mike Matarazzo’s passing. He was a tremendous person and a tremendous bodybuilder. We were very sad to report this news – but hope that his memory will live on through his family and the fans.
That about rounds up this week in the GI Nation. As always, you can check back with us every day for new articles and information about all things bodybuilding. Also check out our Facebook and Twitter too. Trust us, we don’t bite.
