ed note: Sean Andros wrote this article during a sleepless night that ended in a morning ambulance trip to the Emergency Room of New Island Hospital. It turns out his gall bladder doesn't wanna be a part of his future bodybuilding endeavors.
Sets and reps; carbs, fats, and protein; drying out; carbing up; these are the details of contest preparation that everyone talks about and dwells upon. All this information is a quick Google away and if that isn't good enough you can email my boss: He is the best in the business and for a very small fee he will walk you through every step of the process. But there is another side to competing and its one that no one ever speaks about and few ever take the time to realize, much less understand. The mental struggle and the journey to the stage that consumes the competitor and everyone is his (or her) life. The day to day feelings, moods, and actions touch everyone around you and if you fail to take account of that, you will end up alone very quickly. Winning is a great thing, but sharing an accomplishment with the people that love you is a beautiful thing.

You know the old saying; "behind every great man stands a great woman" well this phrase is especially true when it comes to Rhaine Priest. As wife and manager to professional bodybuilder Lee Priest she provides a total support system for Lee both on and off stage.
Being the wife of such a controversial figure she also has to deal with quite a lot of flak from both the media and bodybuilding fans. Then again, when it comes to saying what is on her mind Rhaine has gained quite a reputation for herself too. A sharp shooting, straight talking woman...let's face it, you gotta love that!
Some compare him to Phil "The Gift"; some are just in awe. Others can't understand why Roelly Winklaar is not in the top row. Most of us never saw him before and don't know who the hell he is. The latter notwithstanding, the other rants are common in big bodybuilding shows about any number of competitors who seem like they didn't get a good enough look or don't get compared to those who undeservedly finished well above them. This is sometimes blamed on the pregame hype that usually focuses on a the few guys who placed well at the last show, or who hold a title or two, and of course, the rumors that fly before each show about the guys we "hear" are looking "incredible".
The reality TV show called "Jersey Shore" chronicles the lives of a stereotypical group of Italian-Americans. While attention to such heritage is usually paid on the Discovery Channel and Nat-Geo with programming related to great inventors, scientist, artists, explorers and even the Mafia, MTV decided to chronicle the "Guido" Italian-American culture commonly found along the south shoreline of New Jersey.
In this subculture, the guys are known as guidos and the girls are referred to as guidettes. Additionally, there is a particular version of guidette known as the "guidette monster". Big hair, big boobs, big butt, gum chewing sassy little thing that can always be found in the DJ booth at Surf Club.
How good does BSN's Sythna-6 ready-to-drink (RTD) protein supplement taste? Well, if you work for BSN you'd say it tastes better than any other RTD on the market. What else would you say? You get paid to think that. Well, if you're a savvy marketing director with balls of steel and supreme confidence in your product, then you'd say: "In a blind taste test against three of the other leading RTD's you'd pick Syntha-6." Then you'd put what you just said to the test (literally) at the largest and most highly attended fitness conglomeration in the world, the Arnold Fitness Expo. And that's just what BSN did.
