Brandon Curry Reveals the Proper Lat Pulldown Form for Building a Thicker, Wider Back

July 22, 2026

Brandon Curry has a reputation for demonstrating functional workouts that bring Olympia-winning results, so when the big man saw some recent comments concerning the narrow grip lat pulldown on social media, he was quick to correct the record. Curry says that his eyebrows were recently raised when he read negative comments below a video of fellow bodybuilder Victor Martinez . Apparently, the “Dominican Dominator” had been criticized for having his arms bent while executing narrow grip lat pulldowns. This led Curry, incensed by what he saw on the socials, to post his own video, explaining that straight arms should be avoided for maximum results. “I realize a lot of people look at (Martinez) and say that he’s doing it wrong. Well, I think he’s doing it right,” said the 2019 Mr. Olympia Champion.

The Must-Ask Questions a Harvard MD Wants You to Ask Before Stem Cell Treatment

July 22, 2026

There is a level of transparency every patient should expect when considering a form of regenerative therapy, where a physician not only understands the power of what regenerative medicine is capable of but also doesn’t dismiss its current limitations. Whether you’re considering stem cells, exosomes, or platelet-rich plasma, science has a lot of catching up to do. Yet with billions on the table, the industry isn’t slowing down to find out. The global regenerative medicine market is projected to grow from $58.40 billion this year to $360.84 billion by 2034, according to industry predictions . More than 1,500 businesses promote stem cell treatments across the United States, according to research . All the while, a 2024 study found that a significant percentage of stem cell clinic websites disclosed neither the risks of treatment nor the limited evidence behind it, leaving patients misled and often taken advantage of.

Milos Sarcev Comments on the State of Hadi Choopan’s Stomach

July 20, 2026

On Episode 294 of The Menace Podcast, Hadi Choopan was a major topic of discussion. That’s because the Iranian bodybuilder took to Instagram last week to share a progress update via Instagram, but some observers felt that his mid-section was far from Olympia worthy. Fortunately, Choopan’s coach, Milos Sarcev, who is a regular TMP panelist, shared his take. With a flat stomach being a major goal for even the biggest of bodybuilders, host Dennis James segued into the subject by admitting that failing to tighten his own stomach had been a major mistake. “I said it a thousand times,” commended James. “I just regret that I chased too much size. I should have backed off before. And, my mistake, that I take responsibility for: I didn’t work on f***ing controlling my stomach,” said The Menace. “Something that I preach today (that) I didn’t do myself.” This led James to direct the same concern toward Choopan. “I wanted to ask the real question,” said the host. “Because Hadi posted some updat...

The Juggernaut Method Explained: Using High Volume and Fatigue For Greater Strength

July 20, 2026

Many strength training systems are effective in the short term. The combination of a novel stimulus and a motivated lifter yields results. But if you’ve been around the weightlifting block, you’re not interested in the short-term gains but gains for life. That’s where the Juggernaut Method shines. It combines science-backed programming with flexibility to help lifters get bigger, stronger, and more resilient over the long term. Created by elite powerlifter, strongman, and coach Chad Wesley Smith , the Juggernaut Method was born of his realization that most cookie-cutter strength systems stop working because they treat every lifter the same. “It was inspired by Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1, Doug Young’s training, and block periodization,” he explains. The Juggernaut Method is about accumulating the right volume of quality work, managing fatigue, and progressing at a pace your body can recover from. That philosophy has helped transform Juggernaut into one of the most respected training system...

July 17, 2026

And it’s just been a heck of a ride.” D12 may be best known for thei...

Incline vs. Decline Cable Flyes: Which One Belongs in Your Workout?

July 17, 2026

Understanding which exercise targets what part of the body is an essential aspect of bodybuilding, but when you throw in opposing angles like incline and decline, the concept can feel all the more complicated. Fortunately, Dana Linn Bailey, who won the Women’s Physique title at the 2013 Olympia event , is happy to pass on her hard-earned wisdom when it comes to hooking you up on the humble cable fly. The cable fly is primarily a chest builder, hammering the pecs as you drive the handles together. If you perform the movement as a mid-cable fly, the pulleys are set at chest height and work the pectoralis in both the upper and lower regions. But what happens when the angle of the cable’s trajectory is tweaked? View this post on Instagram What Is the Difference Between Incline and Decline Cable Flyes? The Decline Fly “A decline fly is when the cable is at the highest position, and you’re pulling to the lowest position,” explains the canny coach. ...
