Jim Cordova stepped on stage last Saturday displaying his trademark freaky size and thick, full muscle bellies that appear as though they should be displayed by a super heavyweight instead of a middleweight. His incredible and overwhelming size earned Jim a tough-fought second place in the middleweight division. Rodney Helaire came to the competition Saturday gunning full force for the top placing in the heavyweight class. This elite competitor’s peeled-to-the-bone conditioning sent a message to all other competitors and helped him earn a first-place finish in his weight class. This impressive outing for these two professionals drives home the fact that no matter what federation they compete in, one thing stays constant: The athletes of Team MuscleTech always finish in the same place – right at the top!

As the Olympia weekend quickly approaches, all eyes were on the Atlantic City Pro – the last chance for bodybuilders to qualify for the O. While for some, it was about simply qualifying for the big show, for others, it was a chance to silence the critics and prove that they will be serious contenders for a top placing at the O. In the end, it was a clean sweep by three Team MuscleTech™ superstars as they locked down the top spots. Melvin Anthony came in with the best package he’s ever displayed on a pro stage. The deadly combination of his massive bis, barndoor back and wasp-like waist ensured Marvelous Melvin his second pro win of his career! His impressive showing is proof that he’s definitely a threat for a top placing at this year’s Olympia. Johnnie Jackson finished a close second behind Melvin. Johnnie’s stacked abs and ridiculously thick upper body pushed him past every contender but one. Johnnie completely dialed everything in after a questionable placing at this year’s Europa show. Darrem Charles earned yet another Olympia qualification by placing third in the overall and demolishing the competition in the Masters category! The win allowed Darrem to continue his dominant streak of winning at least one pro show a year since 2002! Don’t expect these stars to fade out of the limelight. The Atlantic City Pro was hard proof that this year’s Olympia will be littered with Team MuscleTech superstars fighting for top spots! 
After dominating last year’s show, expectations are high for both Helaire and Cordova. With both superstars winning their respective weight classes and Cordova triumphing over Helaire for the overall title, the 2008 edition promises to be the most fiercely contested show yet. Can Helaire dial it in and avenge his defeat? Find out on November 8 in New York City.

Yes, it’s that time of year; the biggest freaks in the industry will all come together on one stage to compete for the ultimate title in bodybuilding – Mr. Olympia! Since 1965, when Larry Scott became the first Mr. Olympia, no other bodybuilding competition has featured bigger names and boosted the status of elite bodybuilders to timeless legends more than the Mr. Olympia. From September 26–28, hoards of bodybuilding fans will once again make their way to the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada to witness what will surely be one of the greatest Mr. Olympia competitions in history.
This year’s competition promises to feature one of the deepest line-ups the sport has ever seen. Leading the pack of hardcore bodybuilders into the industry’s most hallowed competition is none-other than Team MuscleTech™. These world-class bodybuilders include David Henry, Johnnie Jackson, Melvin Anthony, Gustavo Badell, 3-time Arnold Classic Champion Dexter Jackson as well as 2-time and reigning Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler. Jay has already stated that he will be in the best condition of his life and paired with his freaky size, it could spell trouble for all competitors. That is, of course, unless your name is Dexter Jackson and you’re coming off of a dominating victory at this year’s Arnold Classic. There’s no doubt that both Jay and Dexter will be dialed in come September 26 – the showdown for the Sandow in 2008 promises to be one for the ages.

Johnnie Jackson 3 Days Out from the Europa Super ShowIt was only 6 weeks ago when Johnnie Jackson, reaffirming his title as the World's Strongest Bodybuilder, deadlifted a world-record 760 pounds at the USPF Championships in Rhode Island. Now, Johnnie has focused his sights on the 2008 Mr. Olympia, which he's already qualified for. To beat his best-ever ninth-place showing last year, Johnnie needs to define himself as a formidable threat, and he plans on doing that this weekend in his own backyard at the Europa Super Show in Dallas, TX. With a newfound training method that includes regular visits halfway across the United States to Fullerton, CA, Johnnie Jackson has assembled a package complete with his signature thickness, but along with an improved lower body, streamlined waistline and more width. And judging by these exclusive MuscleTech.com photos, taken just three days out, he looks to be more shredded than ever. Watch out for Johnnie and other Team MuscleTech Superstars Darrem Charles and Fouad Abiad at this weekend's Europa Super Show.

While a large portion of America was busy celebrating the 4th of July weekend, 20 IFBB pro bodybuilders were battling it out for a top spot at the 2008 Houston Pro. At the head of the pack was the scorching-hot Spaniard, Silvio Samuel. Silvio’s deeply etched separations and samurai-carved details proved to be too much for runner-up Craig Richardson to hang with on stage. There’s no denying that Silvio has definitely found a winning secret formula to consistently nail his conditioning each time he hits the stage. Trampling his way into the top three was the best-ever Leo “The Freak” Ingram the bodybuilding world has ever seen. Showcasing peeled granite hardness and notably improved aesthetics Leo picked up his first ticket to the Olympia in September. Although he didn’t grab a top-three finish, Fouad “The Hoss” Abiad made his presence felt to everyone in the building that night. Rumored by some expert bodybuilding analysts to be the most overlooked man on stage, Fouad’s massive X-frame wrapped in paper-thin skin created a strong buzz among all in attendance and established an easily recognizable name for himself that judges will be forced to remember at his next show. The always shredded Darrem Charles brought his superb conditioning to the stage and even made time to go pose for pose with his 18-year-old son, Renel Charles, who ended up winning his division.
