In this hard-hitting interview with 8x Mr. Olympia ,does not hold back.

And this part caught my attention…

Olympia head judge Steve Weinberger and NPC / IFBB Pro League vice president and head judge Tyler Manion have never competed in a bodybuilding competition.

So when Lee says judges should have stepped on stage before judging athletes at the highest level… is this a shot at them in a sense?

Could judges be better at their craft if they had competed, gone through prep, and experienced what athletes go through under those lights?

Or is a trained eye, years of experience, and understanding the judging criteria enough?

This is just a teaser clip… and this one is big.

We discuss the , faith, struggles, legacy, bodybuilding’s current direction, and the future of the sport.

Episode drops later this week. Subscribe to Muscle Discord so you don’t miss it.

What do you think?

Should pro bodybuilding judges be required to have competed before judging at the highest level?

Is overlooking heading into this year’s Mr. Olympia? 🤔

Derek keeps talking about the threats of Samson Dauda and Andrew Jacked… but are we forgetting the scorecards from last year?

Derek only beat Hadi by TWO points. Two. Meanwhile, there was a 16-point gap between Hadi and Andrew Jacked. That’s a massive difference on the judges’ scorecards.

Yet the conversation seems to be shifting away from Hadi because of his Arnold showing. Yes, Hadi was off at the Arnold. Nobody is denying that. But one bad performance doesn’t erase what this man has done on the Olympia stage.

And judging by these recent updates… the Persian Wolf looks bigger, fuller, and dangerous again, especially in the quads. 🐺

If Hadi comes in dialed in, are people seriously counting him out too early?

Can Hadi Choopan make a comeback and reclaim the Mr. Olympia title this year… or has the division officially moved on to Samson, Derek, and Andrew?

Who wins the 2026 Mr. Olympia?

IFBB Figure Pro Nathalie Nichols explains what she claims is how pre-selected winners are handled backstage in bodybuilding…

According to Nathalie, when an athlete is “picked” to win going into a show, they still have to come in at a certain standard, roughly around 80% of their best look.

Meaning:
They still need to be in shape
They still need conditioning
They still need to hit a certain level

Because if they come in way off, say 60–70% and another competitor comes in absolutely peeled and undeniable, then it becomes too obvious for the judges to ignore.

Now to be clear:
⚠️ These are allegations and opinions from Nathalie Nichols. Nothing here is proven fact.

But the fact that an IFBB Pro is willing to publicly speak on these experiences and say she’s heard and seen these things firsthand is what has people talking.

For some fans, this is shocking.

For others… they believe politics in bodybuilding have existed for years.

Do you believe there are pre-selected favorites in bodybuilding?

Or do you think judging is completely fair and based only on the physiques shown on stage?

Kevin Levrone opens up and reveals who HE believes has the greatest bodybuilding physique of all time 👀

And trust me… he names multiple legends.

When a legend like Kevin Levrone one of the greatest bodybuilders to ever step on stage, gives his opinion on the best physiques ever, people should listen.

Different eras. Different styles. Different strengths.

But who truly had the COMPLETE package?

Do you agree with Kevin’s picks?
And if not… who do YOU think has the greatest bodybuilding physique of all time and why?

In my exclusive interview with IFBB Figure Pro Natalie Nichols she makes one of the most shocking claims I’ve heard on this platform.

Nathalie alleges that she personally witnessed information suggesting Jim Manion had selected winners in multiple divisions before the athletes even stepped on stage.

Now let me be very clear:

These are Nathalie Nichols’ allegations and personal experiences. Nothing here is being presented as proven fact.

But here’s the question…

Why would she put herself under this kind of microscope if she had nothing to gain?

She knows speaking out like this could bring backlash. She knows people may ridicule her, attack her, or try to discredit her. But in her words, after sacrificing her body, her time, her health, and years of her life to become an IFBB Pro, what she says she witnessed behind the scenes left her heartbroken.

Nathalie says she is speaking out because she wants transparency, especially for young women coming up in the sport who dream of turning pro and competing at the highest level.

Whether you believe her or not, this conversation needs to be heard.

And I want to say this publicly:

Jim Manion, Tyler Manion, or anyone from the IFBB Pro League is welcome on Muscle Discord to share their side, respond, and have an open conversation.

Because if we truly care about the sport, then transparency should matter.

Do you believe judging in bodybuilding needs more transparency? Or do you think these claims go too far?

Now I know this is a longer clip, but make sure you watch it until the end because context and details matter 👀

I genuinely do not think the Mr. Olympia can realistically afford to move the Olympia to different countries every five years.

And that’s why I’m questioning why this idea is even being floated around publicly.

Because allegedly, from sources I’ve heard. Jake Wood and the Olympia brand have been losing money ever since the purchase back in 2020.

Now whether people want to hear that or not, you have to look at:
Revenue streams
Production costs
Venue costs
Athlete payouts
Travel/logistics
Staffing and promotion

The math just doesn’t seem to add up for moving the Olympia internationally to places like Dubai, Brazil, or Germany.

Even IF they found a promoter willing to put up the money… would that promoter even profit?

So in this clip, I break down the business side of things and why I personally don’t think this move is realistic long term.

Maybe this is just hype.
Maybe it’s marketing.
Maybe it’s to generate buzz and ticket sales.

I don’t know.

But I do know one thing:
At Muscle Discord, I’m always going to keep it real with you guys.

Do you think the Mr. Olympia will actually move to other countries in the future?
Or is this just talk to create hype?

Derek Lunsford is officially becoming the new villain of bodybuilding… and it’s about damn time!

This is EXACTLY what the Men’s Open division needed.

Enough with the fake politeness. Enough with everyone acting like best friends while competing for the biggest title in bodybuilding.

This is the Mr. Olympia.
The Super Bowl of bodybuilding.
A battle of the best physiques on the planet.

These guys SHOULD have rivalries.
They SHOULD talk trash.
They SHOULD believe they’re the best.

And Derek is finally stepping up and saying what’s on his mind.

Meanwhile, whenever people like me speak bluntly and honestly, it’s always:
“Too negative”
“Too harsh”
“Too opinionated”

Enough of that soft mentality.

This is entertainment. This is competition. This is what grows the sport.

Now I want to see:
Samson clap back
Andrew fire back
Nick Walker get loud again
Hadi get involved

Don’t stand on the sidelines quiet. Defend yourselves. Defend your physiques. Defend why YOU believe you’ll win the Olympia.

Because right now? Derek is controlling the narrative on social media.

Do you like this new villain version of Derek Lunsford?
Or do you miss the old quiet, respectful Derek?

Derek Lunsford continues on his trash talking marketing campaign and I love it! 😄. However, do you agree with Derek. That the only reason Samson Dauda beat him at the Olympia in 2024 was because he was off?

05/26/2026

So here’s the alleged REAL reason why Derek Lunsford seemed so fired up and was talking trash toward Andrew Jacked during the Olympia Battle livestream 👀

Now, this is coming from a source that will remain anonymous, so take it as alleged information…

But from what I heard:
-Andrew was very late arriving to the livestream event
-It got so delayed they almost proceeded without him
-Derek, as reigning Mr. Olympia, chose legs for the workout and Andrew allegedly refused to train them at the beginning.
-Andrew also showed up training in sandals, which some people apparently viewed as unprofessional for a major livestream production

And then after the Pittsburgh guest posing, everyone was supposedly meant to fly together to Las Vegas, but Andrew allegedly changed plans and took a different flight elsewhere first, which may have contributed to the delays.

Now look… none of this means Andrew is a bad guy.

But perception matters at the highest level of bodybuilding.

Politics absolutely exist in this sport, especially around the Mr. Olympia, and if the powers that be feel disrespected or inconvenienced, that can create tension behind the scenes.

And honestly? I WANT to see Andrew Jacked win the Olympia.

I think he has one of the best physiques in the world right now.

But at this level, everything matters:
✔️ Professionalism
✔️ Timing
✔️ Relationships
✔️ Optics

You’ve got to play the game correctly.

Do you think this type of stuff matters behind the scenes at the Olympia level?
Or should only the physique on stage win?
