On Episode 296 of The Menace Podcast, host Dennis James, along with his regular panelists Milos Sarcev and Chris Cormier, discussed the results of the 2026 Chengdu China Pro, where Iranian bodybuilder, Behrooz Tabani came out on top against the U.K.s James Hollingshead. Since the competition, fans and experts have weighed in on who they think should have won. Asking his panel to be “honest” rather than “nice,” host Dennis James wanted to get Chris Cormier’s take first. “I gotta say, I think it took its toll on Behrooz … looking so great for that many weeks,” said Cormier, who…
These standing moves rebuild strength and confidence after 70. Strength after 70 can surprise people, sometimes quickly. A little more control when you stand, a smoother step, or a carry that feels less awkward can change how confidently you move through the day. Those wins may look small from the outside, but they matter. This routine stays upright for a reason. Getting down to the floor isn’t always the best starting point, and it isn’t necessary for building useful strength. Standing exercises can train your legs, hips, grip, posture, and core in positions that feel closer to real life. A…

We all know the feeling: you finally get your routine down at home, then the second you travel, go to the gym, head into a long workday, or leave for the weekend, everything starts to fall apart. Your skincare leaks. Your supplements get tossed into a bag. Your essentials are suddenly everywhere. That very everyday frustration is what led Steph Hon to create Cadence, a design driven system for carrying…
Dutch bodybuilder, Wesley Vissers is hoping to follow up his Arnold Classic victory by winning the Classic Physique title at the 2026 Olympia and has recently shared a straight-forward workout for building his upper body. The plan, which is designed to add mass to his chest, triceps, and shoulders, “isn’t that difficult” to master, shared The Dutch Oak in a recent Instagram post. That’s because for every workout, this competitor makes sure that the exercises “match up with actually building muscle.” Still, if trying this session out for yourself, be prepared to get your sweat on as you dig for…
Feel less steady on your feet after 60? This 7-day challenge can help rebuild it. Balance is the fastest thing I’ve seen change with dedicated practice, and it’s the most important thing to protect after 60. I’ve been a personal trainer for close to 40 years, and for the last 25 I’ve been co-founder of TRAINFITNESS, the UK’s leading fitness education provider. Seven days of focused standing work can shift stability in ways that surprise people, so here’s the exact challenge I use with clients to rebuild it. What Fades First Shutterstock Two things fade together after 60, and most…
At a certain point in summer, your emotional support water bottle starts to feel a little uninspiring. The days are hotter, we are outside more, and between workouts, travel, beach days, and simply existing through a heat wave, staying hydrated suddenly requires a little more attention. The NIH recommends drinking extra fluids during hot weather, but that does not mean every sip has to come from the same bottle of lukewarm water you have been carrying around since breakfast. This summer, we are mixing things up. There is cold pressed fruit hydration straight from the fridge, an electrolyte formula made…
Five-time NCAA All-America track and field athlete, Anna Keefer, is now known globally by WWE fans as “Adriana Rizzo,” but swapping the track for the turnbuckle has required more than just a name change.

Who Is Adriana Rizzo? Making her way from Albertville, MN, Anna Keefer was a titan of track and field, excelling at long jump, where she set a Minnesota…
These five daily moves can make you stronger than most 40-year-olds. Strength after 60 has very little to do with your age and everything to do with how you move each day. I’ve trained people in their 60s and 70s who outperform adults twenty years younger because they’ve never stopped challenging their bodies. They don’t rely on complicated workout programs or expensive equipment. Instead, they consistently perform the movements that preserve muscle, improve mobility, and keep them capable in everyday life. Many people believe strength naturally disappears with age, but that’s only part of the story. The bigger factor involves…
We talk about time like it’s a hallway. The past is the part behind us, the present is the door we’re currently standing in, and the future is a hallway stretching out ahead, waiting to be walked. It’s a useful enough metaphor for a calendar. It’s a fairly bad description of what’s actually happening when you’re alive. Why “Now” Isn’t Where You Think It Is In his new book, Now What: You, Your Life, and the Truth You’ve Been Avoiding, Gary John Bishop makes a case that reframes the whole hallway metaphor: now isn’t a point moving through time. Now…
19 men have held the title of Mr. Olympia since the competition’s creation in 1965. It is considered the most elite club in bodybuilding and perhaps in any strength or physique sport. From 2005 until 2019, the Olympia called the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada its home. That is 15 editions of bodybuilding’s biggest weekend. No other venue has hosted the Olympia as many times in its illustrious history. The Orleans Arena was where the legacies of several champions were cemented, including Ronnie Coleman (who won his eighth and final title there), Jay Cutler, Dexter Jackson, Phil Heath, the…
