The history of bodybuilding has witnessed a few rivalries that captured the attention and admiration of fans, like the intense competition between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mike Mentzer. Both bodybuilders were known for their exceptional physiques and unwavering dedication to the sport. Mike Mentzer was renowned for his striking muscularity and impeccable physique. However, the late bodybuilder is again in the limelight because of an old picture.
The former Mr. America has become the topic of discussion with the latest post on the popular Instagram handle of ‘Chicago Adnois Bodybuilding.’

The secret to the workout regime of Mike Mentzer
The recent picture of the renowned page showcased Mentzer’s appearance on the cover of the popular Muscle Builder and Power magazine in 1976. It showcased his sculpted muscles and flawless proportions. The cover featured Mentzer in his prime, displaying a well-defined chest, bulging biceps, and chiseled abs that left spectators in awe. The symmetry and balance of his muscles were truly remarkable and a testament to his hard work and commitment to the sport.

However, the legendary bodybuilder back then also opened up about his scientific approach to training, which focused on intensity over volume. One of the secrets to Mike Mentzer’s exceptional physique, which he openly shared during his first appearance on the cover, was his implementation of the popular method introduced by Canadian bodybuilding legend Joe Weider. This technique involved the use of “forced reps.”
“The powerful athlete shared with readers how he made gains using the Weider forced rep system, capping off his later win as IFBB Mr. America for 1976”, the caption stated. In this approach, a bodybuilder performs an exercise until failure and then receives assistance from a spotter to complete a few more repetitions. However, this is not the first time the lead bodybuilder has grabbed attention with this physique.

The old rivalry between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mentzer grabbed the attentionRecently, a video posted on the popular Instagram page of Golden Days rekindled the excitement surrounding their intense competition during the 1980 Mr. Olympia. The video showcased gripping moments from the competition, providing a glimpse of the sheer intensity and dedication displayed by both Arnold and Mike on stage.
The post quickly became a sensation, generating a buzz across all social media platforms. Fans flooded the comments section, passionately sharing their opinions and choosing sides between the two legends. The staunch supporters of Mike Mentzer argued that he truly deserved to win the competition, given his exceptional physique.

On the other hand, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s fans defended his legacy as an all-time great in the sport of bodybuilding. While both had their own distinctive training methods, Mentzer’s revelation of employing forced reps as part of his routine sheds light on the science and dedication that lay behind his remarkable physique.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
