Now, we will make it simple to see her workout, her nutrition plan, her supplements, and follow what she's doing everyday, so you can copy it directly, along with 10, other things. Ryan DeLuca: It'll be more Facebook-like when it comes to the interaction. Because that's what people expect. It's like when you're creating a car.
Just put the steering wheel in the middle and make it round. Don't mess with it and be creative on that part.
Then [in our case] add all of the fitness and bodybuilding features around that. Ryan DeLuca: I'll be optimistic with my crystal ball, owing to this new platform, because of the interaction and viral features, and how it's going to be much more useful for people I would say three years.
I think that's a realistic time-frame. I see an acceleration in new members and existing users sticking around longer. Ryan DeLuca: In three years, you'll use BodySpace as your personal trainer for your entire bodybuilding and fitness life. In the gym, you'll use it as your workout tracker, nutrition tracker and you'll track the supplements you take.
You'll be able to get personalized recommendations about what you should do next. So the big idea is we'll have ten million people entering data, and some of them are just like you and have similar goals. Kind of like Netflix - if you like this movie, and we all like the same movies, then I'll most likely like this next movie. There will be algorithms in the back end to tell you other people like you changed to this supplement and got better results, or actually worked out one day fewer and got better results, or whatever.
It'll be tracking what you're doing, tracking what everyone is doing, and giving you personalized recommendations on how you should change today or next year to achieve the best possible results. Ryan DeLuca: You're missing out on a major tool because the biggest thing that's going to hurt you in bodybuilding and fitness goals is not sticking to it long term!
Everybody looks for the secret. What is a secret workout that, if I just knew, I would gain so much muscle mass right away?
What's the next supplement that I must be missing out on, and if I just knew it, I would reach all my goals? The truth is there is no secret, aside from sticking to a program, working out, eating right, taking the right supplements over the long term. Unfortunately, that's the hardest thing. Most people start, go hardcore for a little while, get off it, quit, start again - and that's the most assured way to not reach your goals.
BodySpace was designed to help you stick to it over the long term. Science has proved that these tools are what really work. So give it a try! Jeff O'Connell is the editor-in-chief for Bodybuilding. Train ranked him 19th on its list of 50 influential people in the fitness world.

There's an update to Progress Pics too. Get the sneak peak. The articles used to have automatic comments sections after each, but the members were such know-it-alls that the site, despite paying staff very well, had difficulty retaining authors.
Not even lying, really, just talking nonsense. It was amazing, a free-for-all. Whole threads were nothing but misinformation. Everything everyone said seemed like a lie. I got obsessed. I guess when the legal stuff went down with me , when I was heavily into the lifestyle, I thought no one knew more than I did.
I initially wanted to learn from experts, but the deeper I got into the lifestyle, the more my thoughts became grandiose. I loved reading these grandiose posts too, people just talking to correct and one-up one another. It was fantastic. For Roberts, the forums also offered an opportunity to move into a more high-profile journalistic role. For the fitness community, the tipping point was Operation Raw Deal back in , the biggest steroid bust ever — four days, arrests.
I was able to accurately describe the entire contours of the operation, blogging hourly for a week, and The New York Times consulted with me and mentioned my blog.
By that point, trolls were apologizing to me, telling me that I helped the entire online bodybuilding community informed about what was happening. Singerman parlayed connections made on the forums into a multimillion-dollar business that now sponsors a number of athletes on social media, the method of communication and information dissemination that began supplanting the fitness forums in the mids. Not only is it terribly inefficient, but our leases are all up 6 simultaneously soon, and we either need to commit to stay for YEARS more or commit to leaving.
We got a better deal on a bigger and fully built out space. The papers are signed, the deal is done, and I have the keys for the new redcon1 building… yes, the whole damn building, 3 floors! You can see their pictures and follow their workouts. But what, I wonder, were the long-term implications for forum users in terms of ideology and political engagement?
As for politics, well, I take people on a case-by-case basis. By , the first modern bodybuilding event had arrived, the Mr. America, which was won by John Grimek, who also won it the following year. Grimek, unparalleled in muscular development up until that point, became the catalyst for a new direction in physical improvement.
As bodybuilding became more popular, the quality of physique improved. With physiques arguably more impressive than Grimek, Clancy Ross and Steve Reeves made their mark in the '40s. Ross won the Mr. America in , and many believe him to have been the first modern bodybuilder, although at this time bodybuilding was still regarded with skepticism by many. However, Steve Reeves came along and further popularized bodybuilding due to his movie star looks and perfectly proportioned physique.
Reeves eventually became revered as the greatest bodybuilder of all time after winning the Mr. America and the Mr. Universe the other big contest to have sprung up in light of the success of Mr.
He went on to become one of the first heroic movie stars, gaining a fan base of thousands. Other bodybuilders, such as Reg Park, followed Reeves' example, and became great champions. The first large-scale bodybuilding competitions were held by these organizations: the Mr. The s marked the period during which the most influential bodybuilder of all time would make his mark. Arnold Schwarzenegger beat Dennis Tinereno for the Mr. America title in and immediately began dominating the international competition.
He would go on to win Mr. Universe on five occasions and Mr. Olympia seven times. The Mr. Olympia had been won first by Larry Scott in , who went on to win again in ' Sergio Oliva won in '67, '68 and ' Arnold cemented his spot as the number one bodybuilder in the world by winning the Olympia for the next five years straight, and again in He would also conquer the movie world, becoming a Hollywood star.
As bodybuilding increased in popularity into the s, Arnold and other superstars such as three-time Mr. The movie industry often specifically targeted muscular actors, such was the marketability of this type of physique. As the muscular body became more desirable, the gym industry gained momentum, and the industry as a whole became lucrative. In the s, the IFBB rose to prominence as the dominant bodybuilding organization. Toward the end of this period, the IFBB consisted of more than member countries, and had become the sixth-largest sporting federation in the world.
Bodybuilding was regarded as a legitimate sport, had become a multibillion-dollar-industry and had adherents in all major countries. By the s, bodybuilding had become a popular sport with great crossover appeal. Film stars and athletes from many sports were increasingly using bodybuilding to improve their marketability and performance.
The practices of weight training and dieting, so central to the bodybuilding ethos, had clearly been adopted by mainstream society to increase profile and enhance performance. Competitive bodybuilders were also becoming more muscular as an increasing emphasis on size dictated a more extreme approach to physical development.
Anabolic steroids had been used during the '60s, and their use correspondingly increased as bodybuilding grew in popularity. Prize money, sponsorships, and endorsements had increased due to the growth of the bodybuilding industry, and had become a major motivating factor for many entering the sport.
A general trend in aesthetics and balance gave way to a mass-at-all-costs approach, and top placers were generally those carrying the most size, especially into the '90s and beyond Although steroids were used prior to the '80s, the stacking of various types of steroids using more than one at any one time and use of dangerous growth hormones and insulin were becoming commonplace as the '80s drew to a close.
Amateurs and professionals alike engaged in this disturbing trend, with the intention of making a name for themselves and increasing their earning potential. Indeed, with the increase in competing bodybuilders came increased competition among these athletes.
This would mean a great bodybuilder would have to become greater to distance themselves from the closest rival, who would be taking the same extreme approach to developing their physique. As the '90s approached, the quality of physique improved due to advances in training techniques, dietary strategies, and, yes, drugs. The '80s witnessed the rise of Lee Haney, who won seven Mr.
His physique at around pounds had surpassed any other bodybuilder up until that point. When he retired, Haney had beaten Arnold's record of six Olympias, and in the eyes of many, surpassed him in terms of muscular development. Other notable bodybuilders of this period were Lee Labrada , one of the few successful underpound professional bodybuilders due to his classical symmetry and presentation skills , Vince Taylor, Shawn Ray, and Mike Quinn. Shawn Ray would go on to compete throughout the '90s, placing highly in every Olympia he entered.
The '90s could truly be defined as the era where competitors demonstrated a leap forward in terms of muscle mass.
