In the Trenches with Tom Dupont, Light Heavyweight Champ

 by on May 28, 2018

This month we have a piece on a 35 year old father of two that decided to commit to fitness and get the most out of himself. Looking up to bodybuilders from a young age, Tom had always been into weight training but never took the steps to compete. He knew he wanted to take a stab at it someday and now that his career and family were squared away, this was his time.

In the Trenches with Hemradj Mulai, Classic and Open Lightweight Champ

 by on April 3, 2018

You might remember Hemradj from a feature last year. We had worked together to get him in shape for several IFBB shows in Columbia and the Dominican Republic where he placed 2nd and 1st in those classes respectively.

In the Trenches with Josh Wade during his 2017 Competitive Season- Part 2

 by on February 5, 2018

Ok, so were back with our second part of Josh Wade’s season. As you recall, Josh did four shows in the spring/summer this year, took a little “break,” and then got right back into it for one more show at the end of 2017, the Ferrigno Classic.

In the Trenches with Super Heavyweight Bodybuilder, Kadu Fernandes

 by on November 24, 2017

What’s up everybody. We’re back with a feature on a fellow Super Heavyweight bodybuilder Kadu Fernandes. Obviously from the size he’s carrying, you can see that he’s been training for a long time but has only been competing for a short while.

In the Trenches with NPC Classic Physique Athlete, Derek Pranke

 by on October 6, 2017

This month’s feature is on a young, 20 year old Milwaukee bodybuilder named Derek Pranke. I met Derek a year ago when I was in South Carolina for Junior USA’s. We got to talking about doing the same show a year later. He had already had previously competed nationally at the Teen, Collegiate and Master’s Nationals as a Teen Light Heavyweight placing 4th in 2015. It was time to see what improvements he had made in the last two years by doing a qualifier and then jumping onto the big stage in South Carolina. Here’s what we did.

Post Show Dieting for Success

 by on June 8, 2017

Gained 20 pounds the first week after your show? Look like there’s no way you were on stage two weeks ago. It starts with the all-important cheat meal after the show. Then it progresses to maybe a cheat meal every night.

You Did the Damage… Now Fix It!

 by on October 21, 2016

Normally, I do blood work once a year to make sure everything is in range- and it normally is, but this time I was shocked to see how bad my cholesterol was. Liver and kidneys were fine, minor enzyme elevation that you would expect from exercising daily but my hematocrit and red blood cells were through the roof.

In the Trenches with Nate Spear, Heavyweight Class Killer

 by on September 26, 2016

This month we have a feature on an absolute freak and a redemption story all in one. It’s kind of funny that our paths didn’t cross earlier about 10 years ago when I was a student at the University of Vermont and Nate was attending Champlain College, a stone throws away. Anyway, many of you will see the pictures of Nate and immediately realize that he has genetics for this sport.

In the Trenches with Joe Thomas, Over 40+ Team Universe Champ

 by on August 23, 2016

This week’s edition of “In the Trenches” is on another one of John’s Team Universe Champions, Joe Thomas. If Joe looks familiar to many of you that have followed the sport, that’s because you have probably seen him on one of the many covers he’s done with various bodybuilding and fitness publications over the years.
