After sterling first-place performances at the 2022 Texas Pro and the 2022 Arnold Classic UK , Chinedu Andrew Obiekea, a.k.a. “Andrew Jacked,” is undoubtedly hoping for a shining debut at the 2022 Mr. Olympia. As the potential bodybuilding phenom of the 2022 calendar year, some established icons already think he’s destined for greatness . In light of that, the athlete seems to understand the value of taking cues from those who have been there and done that. On Nov. 23, 2022, Jacked posted a video on his YouTube channel where he works through a back workout while guided by seven-time 212 Olympia champion James “Flex” Lewis . The video is appropriately entitled “Paying Attention to Detail,” given that it takes place during the final stages of Jacked’s preparation for the Olympia, being held on Dec. 16-18, 2022, in Las Vegas, NV.

In their free time, most 16-year-olds probably aren’t working on building their strength in the gym. Rather than polish up their staple lifts, they’re likely playing video games, hanging out with friends, or just chilling out on the couch. Knowing this, it’s clear that powerlifter Morgan Nicholls is no average teenager. On Nov. 28, 2022, Nicholls shared an Instagram clip of himself successfully locking out a 233.6-kilogram (515-pound) bench press with wraps. According to the caption of his post, the pressing feat is a personal record (PR) for the young athlete. Considering Nicholls’ age, it might be even more impressive how easily the lift appears to come to him the moment he lowers his stacked barbell onto his chest.

It’s been an eventful year for Larry “Wheels” Williams. Amidst various training updates and tidbits, the athlete disclosed he would stop using steroids indefinitely in a late-August 2022 video on his YouTube channel. After openly leaning on some measure of performance enhancing drugs for years, his rationale for stopping was that he wanted to see how his performance would fare without such assistance. As a substitute, because Wheels’ body no longer naturally produced testosterone, he went on Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). His ongoing experiment on that front seems to be going swimmingly so far. On Nov. 28, 2022, Wheels shared an Instagram video of himself capturing a 305-kilogram (672.4-pound) raw back squat while on TRT . Per the caption of his post, Wheels’ intention was to garner as many reps as possible (AMRAP) with the weight. While it appeared like he may have been able to lock out another rep, Wheels stopped squatting after six reps, suggesting that was his AMRAP wit...

If you listed the most popular ab exercises, there would be some familiar contenders like crunches , planks, and leg raises, no doubt. But one dark horse in the race is the Russian twist. Credit: diplo_game / Shutterstock You’ll see it performed by bodybuilders, fitness influencers, “functional fitness” athletes who wear toe-gripping shoes that look like gloves, group-fitness worshipers, and cardio enthusiasts.  One reason why it’s so regularly used is that it lets you really feel you abdominal muscles working, almost irrespective of how well the exercise is actually performed. You can do it “wrong” and still feel some kind of burn because you’re bending and twisting. A better reason why it’s so popular is because it targets nearly every muscle in your core, including the rarely targeted oblique muscles. Here’s how to make sure you do the Russian twist the right way to get that deep burn in your abs and obliques, not your lower back. How to Do the Russian Twist Russian Twi...

Even in a well-earned retirement, four-time Mr. Olympia (2006-2007, 2009-2010) Jay Cutler has made it a point to keep up with his physical fitness and nutrition .

As Cutler starts to look ahead to a life milestone — he turns 50 on Aug. 3, 2023 — he’s diligently working on staying healthy. On Nov. 28, 2022, Cutler shared a video on his YouTube where he works through a shoulder and triceps routine that features 11 separate exercises (including some calves finishers ).
