2016 Mr. Olympia Predictions
Who wouldn’t want to attend an event or enjoy the moment just plainly cheering the whole time for that one bodybuilder who effectively captures the attention of all the audience? Well, certainly, everyone would grab the chance to be at that place and savor the moment. Aside from the bodybhuilding competitions done every year in the world like the Ms. Universe and Miss World, there is one event that everyone always looks forward to, and that is the Mr. Olympia 2016.

Mr. Olympia has already come a very long way. It is a famous competition wherein professional bodybuilders fight for the crown of being the Mr. Olympia. Every single person in the event or even the world watching it would scream and cheer their hearts out for the bodybuilder they think deserves the title. A competition which displays the endless beauty and awesomeness of man when it comes to a well-built body with bulky muscles and amazing curves, what could anyone ask for?

Through the years since the first ever Mr. Olympia competition in September, 1965, many professional bodybuilders have striven and worked hard on their way to the top and competed to win the Mr. O. Who wouldn’t put up a good fight? If the competition itself is breathtaking, what more it would be when we talk about the prize that the winner can take home? The prizes in the Mr. Olympia competitions in the past years were all worthy of the hard work of the professional bodybuilder competitors which have made all the past events a talk of the town, or even of the whole wide world. One of the inaugural winners is Larry Scott who took home a ringing amount of $50,000 for his most coveted victory and the winner of the Mr. Olympia 2015 Phil Heath took home for the fifth time a bountiful amount of $275,000 and no one can tell how the prize for this competition will change in the coming years.

Mr. Olympia competition is really a big hit in the world with so many predictions of who will win the title. It is a hot and trending issue not only in the country but worldwide. Who would be the next Mr. Olympia victor? Would it be the reigning champion or someone else new or someone we already know? Most of us or rather all of us would want to shout out our bet, right? There is no wonder with that because all of us are badly looking forward for that one who will heat the flame and let it burning again in the next Mr. Olympia which will be held real soon in 2016.

It is human nature to predict something, especially if it is something that interests him. Just recently, one tweet got the fire burning up regarding Mr. Olympia when Ronnie Coleman posted something that cues his return at the Mr. Olympia 2016. While we are not really sure as hell if this is real or not, who couldn’t be even happier? Ronnie Coleman is one of the best bodybuilders of all time and the rivalry between Ronnie and Jay Cutler is known and famous not only in the bodybuilding world but also by all the people in the world, even those people who have not or have never tried lifting even a single barbell in their entire lives.

Though there is no doubt that he is one of those that have the best body for Mr. Olympia and indeed a great bodybuilder, one thing that clouds my mind now is that how can he still prove to the world that he deserve the title if he is now already 50 years old? At this time of life, most professional bodybuilders would either retire and rest for good or rather just plainly compete in a special competition which suits or is right for their age. Aside from that, he had suffered a hip replacement surgery just 4 months ago, didn’t he see it as a major disadvantage in joining in the Mr. Olympia 2016?

Though he has proven that he is a great bodybuilder, along with Jay Cutler, many people, including me, would still bet for the reigning Mr. Olympia 2015 champion Phil Heath. His power and overall characteristics can guarantee us that he will again grab and take home the prize and that is for sure. His victory will not end in 2015 because he will grab the title for the next year or even next years, no one can ever tell and that is the job of the time to reveal for us in the near future.

Phil Heath will never ever disappoint his fans and supporters and I bet you that he’ll rock his contenders. It will not be a surprise that next year; he will make the other contenders hang by not winning and failing to beat him. I bet everything to him though Kai and Cedric can also put a good fight. Even though Dexter is already 46, he can still compete hand in hand with the new and returning professional bodybuilders. Age has nothing to do with this competition for professional bodybuilders but having the best shape will always matter here, that is why I would always go for Phil Heath.

Phil Heath is now 35 years old and all his fans can expect nothing but his improvement through the test of time and his achievements have proven how far he has gone through in this competition in his five consecutive victories. Will he stop his reign this year? I hope not and I know he will probably not because he has never failed and will never disappoint his fans. All his fans were looking out for him and looking forward to seeing him beat his contenders again in the Mr. Olympia in 2016. He has all it takes to be the Mr. Olympia again and no one can question that. Phil Heath is still in his prime and no one can stop him from getting more victories and fame both in the professional bodybuilding world and in the Mr. Olympia competition.

"I made the decision at my last Olympia. I contemplated doing the (Rising Phoenix), but I think taking some time off and sitting back, and seeing what's taking place was good for me. I like money.

Testosterone - Why Bodybuilders Use Testosterone

Bodybuilders are always sought after for their nice bulky body and strong aura. These are just some of the reasons why many people, especially the men are into bodybuilding and consistently go in the gym to have that perfect body shape that can capture every one’s attention and, of course, make the women admire their very manly figure. If you happen to ask a gym-goer of what is the specific single physical factor that mostly affects the muscle growth as well as the fat loss, his answer would probably the testosterone level of a person. And most of us will agree, including the experts.
They are right that the testosterone level is the single physical factor that most affects the overall muscle growth and fat loss in the human body. Every guy out there knows that he badly needs the ideal levels of testosterone in order to successfully maximize his body’s muscle growth from his hard efforts and sweats right there in the gym. The testosterone is a primary hormonal driver of the muscle growth. There are many researches that has been previously conducted that successfully showed that the anabolic asteroids, which extremely raise the testosterone levels, are given to young and healthy men can effectively induce the muscle growth and the fat loss of a person’s body without having the need to exercise or whatsoever. We can assume that the higher the levels of our testosterone are, the more muscles we can definitely build and the leaner we can absolutely get.


What is “testosterone”?

Testosterone is an anabolic and androgenic hormone which is secreted by the testes in the men. This is not only for men because women also secrete some of it through their ovaries, and some are produced by their adrenal glands. Testosterone, as we all know, is primarily a male hormone and the men normally produce for about 40-60 percent of it than women. Though men and women have an identical muscle tissue, the testosterone makes them different because it is the responsible for the greater strength and muscle size in men.
What are some examples of the physiological actions of testosterone in the male body?
During puberty, there are some changes that happen in the male body and the testosterone is the one responsible to these changes. Some of these changes are the following:

  • Growth of the male reproductive organ, testes and scrotum
  • Enlargement of the voice box or the larynx which results in the deepening of the voice of the men
  • The formations of the functional sperm
  • Stimulation of the hair growth in the chest, face, and pubic area
  • Increases the libido, muscle protein synthesis, basal metabolic rate, red blood cell, and calcium retention in the bones
  • Promotes the strengthening an the narrowing of the pelvis
  • Reductions right there in the muscle glycogen breakdowns during an exercise
  • Promotion of the sodium as well as of the water retention in the kidneys

Why bodybuilders use testosterone?
Bodybuilding, most of the time, is seen as a way to have a bigger and more masculine physique than the normal, just like on what we can see on the wrestlers. Many bodybuilders believe that dramatically elevating their testosterone levels can effectively induce their body’s muscle growth. It is already proven to be effective and if they only take the enough amount of the right steroids, their testosterone levels will rise just like a skyrocket, and if they would lift their weights regularly, it is 100% expected that they will achieve or get more muscle growth than on what they can get if they are drug-free.
Though it has been already studied and proven that testosterone is very much effective in bodybuilding, there are some things that most of the people out there don’t know. There are some limitations to growth because the development of the muscle in the body is kind of limited due to a certain combination of the person’s unique genetic dispositions and the possible demands that he puts on his body. The person can change that certain demands that he puts on his body by actively participating in programs that promote fitness like a weight-training program.

It is important to remember also that genetically limitations on a person’s body might hinder or prevent him from achieving or getting the growth or muscle size that he desires. According to an exercise scientist, the specific proteins, which are commonly known or called as growth hormone, growth factors, testosterone and cortisol all do influence a person’s capacity to grow or increase its muscle size. Aside from that, the cortisol is the hormone that is responsible in breaking down the muscle tissues. As the new muscle tissues are produced, the old tissues are cannibalized.

The cortisol is categorized by some as catabolic because it has the opposite effect as that of the insulin, testosterone, and of the growth hormone. It breaks down the muscle tissue rather than growing and successfully building it up. The cortisol enables the body to use the muscle proteins for energy, or in making the other proteins that are needed in the body during times or pressure or stress. The large amounts of cortisol circulating in the body can inhibit the muscle growth even when the body’s testosterone availability is very optimal. Unlike the body’s muscle growth, the fluctuations of the testosterone levels within the physiological normal range had very significant effects on the body’s fat percentage. So we can conclude that the higher the testosterone levels of a person are, the leaner he can definitely get and vice versa.

What are the other good effects of having a high testosterone levels?

Testosterone effectively increases the size of all the individual muscle cells in the body. A bigger muscle cell then pulls harder which enables a person to gain the strength that he need. In addition to that, the testosterone promotes or encourages the muscle cells to build even more muscle cells. So you will not only have a much bigger muscle cell but stronger and more of them. Aside from that, having a high levels of testosterone does not only stop in getting stronger and bigger muscles or those better or perfect curves because the effects goes beyond them.

A lot of bodybuilders use testosterone because it does not only help in making them fit because it can also can make them feel more active and energetic, can improve their mental focus and raises their emotional well-being, and most of all, the testosterone lowers and controls the body fat level.

The Levrone Pro Classic is the first IFBB Pro professional bodybuilding competition organized in Poland. This is a sporting event, signed by Kevin Levrone, the world bodybuilding legend, and will be held during the biggest event in the fitness industry in Poland – the Fit Festival. Simultaneously with the competitions, bodybuilding stars of the famous Mr. Olympia and Arnold Classic competitions will be appearing on stage. And the $60,000 prize pool will guarantee an amazing competition! You have to be there!


Joe Weider used to say that “Bodybuilding is a combination of sport, art and lifestyle". This is one of the most spectacular and sophisticated sports, practiced by millions of people around the world. During the bodybuilding competition, athletes’ figures will be evaluated on different points, including:




  • muscle separation
  • muscle size
  • symmetry and physical proportions


Competitors will be assessed during a free posing round. This allows the judges to see the physique in motion to the rhythm of a selected music track. Competitors should present their developed muscle mass with a minimum amount of fat, and normal body proportions. Presentation of muscles during mandatory posing is very strenuous for athletes. Preparing for a bodybuilding contest requires thousands of hours of intense strength training, strict dieting and thorough analysis of progress.
