We are in an era of “mass monsters,” for both men and women. The size of many top pro bodybuilding competitors can be amazing. But that is not true of Theresa Ivancik (I-Van-Sick), who at 5’6” and 150 pounds is not small, but not as big as many of her competitors. Theresa reminds me of somebody...

Derek Lunsford placed second at the 212 Olympia in both 2018 and 2019 after an impressive fifth-place debut in 2017. The first time he was runner-up, Lunsford was up against the virtually unbeatable Flex Lewis, who retired from the 212 division that year after seven consecutive wins. In 2019...

When it comes to bodybuilding, I find It fairly easy to determine who will or should win in a given lineup. The same is not true in the fitness division. The standards of judging a physique are different and less objective, and it’s impossible to predict how the judges are going to score the...
