Mr. Olympia has always been a contest filled with excitement and an unmatched level of competitiveness. Renowned bodybuilders Milos Sarcev, Chris Cormier, Dennis James, and Guy Cisternino recently sat together on the Muscle and Fitness podcast, The Menace Podcast, to discuss the fierce rivalry that the world will witness during this Olympia.

All the veteran bodybuilders accepted that the epic showdown between Nick Walker and Samson Dauda would be a sight to behold. However, Cisternino pointed out that since the 1990s, this might be the first time the sport has been so competitive.

Guy Cisternino answers the million-dollar question

The Olympia has attracted the finest physiques from around the world. However, in recent years, the dominance of a few bodybuilders has made many fans nostalgic about the sport of bodybuilding in the 1990s. The lineup of the Olympia of 2023 seems determined to make this year on the list of most competitive Olympia in years. Guy Cisternino admitted during the podcast that the whole lineup this time consists of equally talented and deserving athletes. Dennis James posed a question in the discussion, saying, “When was the last time in the Olympia that it was this competitive?”

Replying to this, Cisternino stated, “Never…in the 90s…when you guys did it or early 2000.” Adding to this, he said, “All those guys, all have a chance to win that f**king Sandow.” However, Cisternino previously picked his favorites to be Nick Walker and Samson Dauda. He revealed, “Samson who’s gonna be coming greatly improved. Nick is probably 10 pounds heavier…Derek’s gonna be improved. These guys are fu**ing hungry.”

All the bodybuilders on the panel during this conversation have retired from the sport, making for themselves quite a name in the sport. With years of knowledge and experience, they have realized a lot of their mistakes in their bodybuilding career. In a previous podcast, Dave Palumbo, Milos Sarcev, Dennis James, Chris Cormier, and Dennis Newman discussed the issue of hair loss, which is a result of steroid use.

Amidst many other topics, the bodybuilders started discussing this topic after Dave asked. “I think it applies to everyone on the panel except Milos, cause Milos still has his hair. How traumatizing was it when you..start losing your hair?” While conversing about this, Dennis James suggested Palumbo get a hair transplant from Turkey. “From all over the world, everybody flies to Turkey now. Why? It’s super cheap,” suggested James.

Continuing further, James responded to the question by admitting, “In my case, it didn’t bother me at all because I had a full set of hair, I just had this little spot here.” Adding to this, Dennis jokingly stated, “And that little spot made me look like I’m from the 90s from the rear.”
