Chris Bell, Director of “Bigger, Stronger, Faster”

John Hansen — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 03:26:44 +0000

“Is it still cheating if everyone is doing it”? That’s the question asked in the movie, “Bigger, Stronger, Faster”, directed by Chris Bell, today’s special guest. Of course, we’re speaking about steroid use, and other performance enhancers; these days considered controversial at best, and illegal, dangerous, unethical, and/or tightly controlled by law at worst.

Chris Bell and his brothers grew up in the 80’s, as “huge fans of professional wrestling watching Hulk Hogan, all these guys that were larger than life and eventually that would parlay into all the other things we liked, like Rambo, He-Man, the A-Team, Conan, Rocky, the Incredible Hulk, anything to do with muscles and guys beating up other guys”.

With this kind of background, it would be a temptation for them to use steroids as they all chased their dreams of growing up big and strong and successful, just like their heroes.

Listen in to this spirited, no holds barred discussion between Chris Bell and Mr. Natural Olympia John Hansen on the subject of steroids. Then you might have an answer for the guy who asks, “Is it still cheating if everyone is doing it”?

Also joining John today is our friend, Alex from Optimum Nutrition, talking about Optimum’s “Nitro Core 24″, a strategic blend of 10 different proteins, giving you 24 grams of fast, medium and slow acting protein, 5 grams of fiber; along with important digestive enzymes and essential fatty acids, in a great collection of flavors.

Muscle, Smoke and Mirrors – Trainer and Author Randy Roach

John Hansen — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 16:31:21 +0000

David Epstein of Sports Illustrated has endorsed it. Testimonials are flying in from sports enthusiasts, trainers, body builders and the general public. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been hand-delivered a copy. After all, heâ€™s mentioned, with more to come in Volume II.

What’s all the shouting about? Volume I of Randy Roach’sÂ book, “Muscle, Smoke and Mirrors”; an amazing, indepth look at the world of bodybuilding, nutrition, the introduction of steroids and more.

This, from the Muscle, Smoke and Mirrors website says it best:

“Whatâ€™s the book about? â€œMuscle, Smoke & Mirrorsâ€ does not chronicle the process of (Randy) losing his sight. Instead, it deals with sports nutrition, delving into factors and conditions that shaped the entire dietary landscape of the industrial world from modern fitness trends to the food we put on the table today. Body builders, trainers and fitness experts, even ancient cultures lend their own personal perspective (and diets), resulting in an informative book that entertains rather than preaches. In an era of fast food and poor eating habits, this book is a must-have for amateurs, professionals as well as many others across a larger community.”

Volume II is expected later this year.

Natural Ripped Bodybuilder Jon Harris

John Hansen — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 17:42:08 +0000

Pro Natural Bodybuilder, Jon Harris from the UK is Johnâ€™s Special Guest this week.

First, though, John welcomes back Alex from Optimum Nutrition to unveil a new product added to Optimum’s growing line of Natural Supplements. Optimum’s new Gold Standard Natural 100% Caseine is quickly becoming a favorite of bodybuilders for its great taste and timed release of protein. Gold Standard Natural 100% Casein is also free of artificial flavors, sweeteners, and synthetic colors and uses only premium micellar caseins to create a protein thatâ€™s truly time-released.

Then, Jon Harris joins us by phone from the United Kingdom. Jon has mastered the means to come-in to contests really shredded while holding onto critical muscle tissue. Learn his diet and training routine and how heâ€™s been a natural champion for for so long.

Hereâ€™s Jonâ€™s words from his website, JonHarris.com:

It all started at about the age of 12. As a kid I was always driven by a desire to become as big and strong as I could. I lifted weights right throughout my teenage years and entered my first bodybuilding contest at 17 years of age – which I won. Later that year in 1992, I went on to take my first British title as a natural bodybuilder, the EFBB junior under 18 Mr Britain. In â€˜94 I captured the EFBB junior under 21 title. I was then selected to compete in the IFBB world junior championships in Turkey. I didnâ€™t place in that event but it was an honour to compete in an international show and represent Britain at the age of 19.

After this I took several years off to concentrate on my studies and career. In 2001 I made a comeback and entered the BNBF open, winning the middleweights but losing out on the overall. In 2002 I finished second in my class, and in 2003 after 3 attempts I finally took my class and the British amateur overall title, qualifying me as a professional natural bodybuilder. In my debut pro show that same year (the WNBF worlds) I placed 2nd, a feat that I repeated in 2004. I took a year out in 2005 and returned the following season where I finally captured the overall pro world title, which is the highlight of my bodybuilding career to date. In 2007 I snatched 2nd again, giving me a total of 4 top-two finishes in the last 5 years at world championship level.
