*Lee Priest Lights Up Classic Physique Wants It Back to Amateur Level

Lee Priest stirred the pot again, but this time he went straight for the heart of Classic Physique.
He said the division should be removed from the pro ranks and pushed back to amateurs.
No soft wording. No sugarcoating. Just a direct shot at the division that’s been carrying aesthetics for years. Lee style!

* TEAM USP Take:
This is the kind of pressure that forces a division to evolve. When a legend questions your legitimacy, you either crumble or come back sharper. Classic Physique athletes are going to feel this one and the ones who respond with conditioning and execution will rise fast.


* 2. Livinho Pereira de Farias, Brazil’s Silent Classic Physique Problem

While everyone else is arguing about Priest’s comments, Brazil is quietly producing a Classic Physique threat that nobody’s ready for.
Livinho Pereira de Farias, freshly signed with MHP, is building a silhouette that judges can’t ignore:

- Wide, sweeping lats
- Tight waist
- Old‑school posing
- Fast, clean density gains

He’s not loud. He’s not hyped. But he’s structured to ruin someone’s night onstage.

* TEAM USP Take:
Livinho is the exact type of athlete who thrives in chaos. While the division debates its identity, he’s building a physique that speaks louder than any commentary. These are the guys who show up at a pro show and make the “favorites” look unprepared.


*My thoughts

Classic Physique is under fire from the old guard, and at the same time, new blood like Livinho is rising with zero hesitation.
That’s the tension that makes a division dangerous, legends challenging the foundation while hungry athletes push the standard higher.

*NOTES REAL LIFE, REAL RECOVERY, REAL MOMENTUM

Soreness was heavy today and good feeling! The kind that signals progress, not problems. The day off was needed, and it hit perfectly.

Spent the day with the wife and the dog, exactly the kind of reset that keeps the mind sharp and the mission grounded. Did even catch a 2 hr nap this afternoon after some extra cardio legs are definitely hitting different. Have been messing around with the press see what I want to add in, other than just standard press.

TEAM USP!!!!! IS DROPPING NEW PRODUCTS!!!

 

[James Creeper]

DAY 1 — PUSH WORK
CHEST | SHOULDERS | TRIS

*Got in early. The usual and had to crank the heavy metal just to push into go mode. Light cardio, 20‑rep push‑up bursts, mobility between rounds. Use some yoga stretchs this morning too think its a new habit forming. Feel not so tight after the work is done. Stretched pecs, arms, and back until everything felt primed.

*The garage was a bit cluttered from other projects, needed to clean up the family catch all bs. Hit the treadmill for 35 minutes, mixing it up. I did 90 lb on the leg Press, mainly to stretch deep on the legs and ass just to add something in.

*Dumbbell Bench Press
12–18 reps × 5 sets
Started with the 70 expecting a grind, but the strength came in smoothly. 15 clean reps, locked‑in form, chest doing exactly what it was told. Tight, controlled, disrespectfully squeezed.

*Incline Dumbbell Flyes — 15°
10–15 reps × 4 sets
15s in hand, full stretch, slow squeeze. Tempo got hot by the end, but the reps stayed honest. May try bump weight here.

*Triceps Rope Pushdowns — 80 lbs
10–15 reps × 4 sets
Stack felt heavy today, only hit 11 today slipping a bit on this one. May need to back off go higher reps.Tris burning. Clean lockouts, no shortcuts, just pressure.

*Cable Lateral Raises
12–18 reps × 5 sets
Cross‑cable setup lighting all three delt heads. Only 10 lbs, and only got to 15 before slipping form. Perfect isolation made it feel I did something wrong doing in a past life. Traps stayed out of the picture. Shoulders screaming like my metal.

*Seated Overhead Dumbbell Press (Arnold Press)
8–12 reps × 5 sets
Bench nearly vertical, 30s rotating up. Only 10 reps per set today. Last set hit 12. shoulders were not ready to give up. And definitely can tell sleep made a huge difference.

*DAILY FUEL BREAKDOWN
- Calories: 3,085
- Protein: 240g
- Carbs: ~360–380g
- Fat: ~65–75g
- Sodium: ~3,800–4,400mg
- Meals: 6 total

*OVERALL NOTES
Today I felt a lot better got a 7 hrs of sleep in was up 4 times just need to get it consistently rest at night My doc got a different place for me to go for the sleepstudy gear. So that will be good to get this figured out then focus can be just clean execution and forward drive powered by TEAM USP.


*TEAM USP NEWS
The team speaks and the Boss listens we have new products coming in to already add to the deep and consistent selection.


*BODYBUILDING TEAM USP — DAILY NEWS BLOCK (03/23/26)

* IFBB POLITICS GETTING LOUDER
Hardcore forums are buzzing about the league allegedly shielding Kai Greene and Phil Heath behind the scenes. Nothing official, but the whispers are getting heavier — “competitive considerations,” special treatment, whatever you want to call it.
Bottom line: the grinders are fighting for daylight while the legends get bubble‑wrapped.

* SAM SULEK FINALLY SAYS THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD
Sam admitted peptides kept him functional through the injury stretch, and now he’s gearing up for a full‑scale mass push post‑Arnold UK.
The transparency hits different — new‑era athletes aren’t pretending anymore.

* VACUUM TRAINING BACK IN THE CONVERSATION
Jeff Cavaliere stirred the pot claiming daily vacuums flatten the waist regardless of body fat. Coaches are split — some calling it outdated, others saying it’s a lost discipline that needs to return.
Old‑school effort vs. modern shortcuts.

* OLYMPIA QUALIFICATION PRESSURE COOKER
Athletes are finally realizing how brutal the 2026 rules really are:
Two wins needed in most divisions, points system back everywhere except Open, and lineups getting intentionally tightened.
This season is built for killers, not tourists.

* “ACTIVE COMPETITOR” RULES STILL HITTING NERVES
Pros are starting to feel the squeeze from the new definitions of what counts as “active.”
The consensus: it favors the already‑established names and makes the climb even steeper for the hungry ones.



*TEAM USP keeps rising! You can too, come check and browse for yourself. New products dropping soon!

DAY 2 — PULL | BACK • BICEPS • REAR DELTS
*Peace in my happy place. War to on lookers. Lats and bi's the main target.

*45 minutes on the treadmill at a steady 125–135 BPM

*Bent‑Over Barbell Rows
50 lbs — 12, 12, 14
Back instantly took fire. Hinge locked, bar path clean, reps and feeling good

*Lat Pulldowns (Wide + Unilateral)
95 on the stack , 45 for uni.
Wide‑to‑narrow rotation for 16–18 reps across 6 sets.
Unilateral rounds pushed past 20 — pure lat‑expansion Trump style " You're Fired"
Elbow‑to‑hip cue is the way!

*Seated Cable Rows
130 lbs today — 12, 15, 15
Full resets, tight pulls, 90‑second discipline.
Strength shows up when structure does.

*Face Pulls
30 lbs — 20 reps
Rear delts growling a death‑metal soundtrack.
Perfect chaos for a pull‑day burn.

*Seated Cable Dumbbell Curls
85 lbs
Set 1: 12 slow, surgical reps
Set 5: 8 full reps + 6 partials
Arms pumped to the edge of death, I can't touch my face to wipe sweat

*Pullovers
65 lb dumbbell — 3×20
Sideways on the bench, letting gravity peel the lats open.
Last set slowed to carve out width with intent.

* Extra sets, bench then in a laying curl,
90 seconds between sets
* laying bench curl 20 lbs x 3 sets

*DAILY FUEL BREAKDOWN
- Total Calories: 2,800
- Total Protein: 250g
- Total Carbs: ~360–380g
- Total Fat: ~65–75g
- Total Sodium: ~3,800–4,400mg
- Grinding out the same foods. But as I write this tonight rice cakes with honey.

*OVERALL NOTES — Wings getting hit every workout day, Arms thickening. Blueprint zeroing in.

*Day 2 is officially the proving ground, curl variations rotating, angles shifting, and every tweak logged. And I feel that the cable curls are really hitting them right, just by stepping to different angles it seems to hit an over all delayed muscle soreness. But today I laid on the bench and did a set of 3 with 20 lbs in curls, something Dr. Mike was big on it seems to worked pretty good. Input definitely appreciated here. Or is the old school method still king? Just hit them all the time, or whenever you get near a dumbbell with all the classics?

Lats are firing hard, cable height, tension, looking at different way to hit them to get a deeper connection down my torso

* TEAM USP stays locked In!
DAILY BODYBUILDING NEWS

* 1. Detroit Pro Fallout — Waist Control Crisis Back in the Spotlight
The Detroit Pro aftermath is still ripping through the industry. Mohamed Foda’s win is being overshadowed by a full‑scale debate on distended stomachs. Milos Sarcev and Dennis James are calling for DQ‑level penalties for poor midsection control. If the IFBB ever enforces it, half the division is in trouble.

* 2. Martin Fitzwater’s Public Collapse Still Reverberating
The Fitzwater–Nick Walker backstage blowup at the Arnold Classic has turned into one of the sport’s biggest self‑destruct moments. Sponsors gone. Income gone. Fitzwater quitting the sport while attacking fans has split the community between “cancel culture” and “actions have consequences.”

* 3. Lee Haney Reveals Kidney Failure — Actively Seeking a Donor
Eight‑time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney announced he’s dealing with kidney failure and is searching for a living donor. It’s a sobering reminder of the long‑term physiological cost of the lifestyle, and it’s sparked a wave of health‑focused conversations across the sport.

* 4. Sam Sulek Confirms Peptide Use for Injury Recovery
Sulek openly stated peptides helped him push through injuries and that he’s planning a major size push post‑Arnold UK. The transparency is rare, and it’s already igniting debates about where “recovery protocol” ends and “enhancement protocol” begins.

* 5. Steve Weinberger Fires Back at Media, Breaks Down Andrew Jacked’s Win
Weinberger is calling bodybuilding media “incompetent” while explaining why Andrew Jacked beat Nick Walker at the Arnold Classic. He highlighted both athletes’ weak points and warned that neither physique is Olympia‑ready without major fixes.

* 6. Kai Greene & Phil Heath Granted Protected Olympia Status
The IFBB Pro League officially gave Kai and Phil automatic Olympia qualification, appearance fees, and prime prejudging slots. Athletes are split — some calling it marketing genius, others calling it blatant favoritism.

TEAM USP — PERSONAL THOUGHTS
The waist control issue is the real headline if they enforce it, the landscape changes overnight. And definitely cut the top up pretty hard.
Fitzwater’s meltdown is a reminder...your reputation is part of your physique in this sport. You can only be an ass for so long till people don't want to see you.
Haney’s situation hits heavy — legends aging out forces the community to face reality. I really hope he finds a donor.
Sulek being open about peptides is going to influence a lot of young lifters whether he wants it to or not. Hopefully they look into what they are doing and not blindly follow.
Protected status for Kai & Phil is pure federation politics, star power over merit. Smart or not they do know bodybuilding.

USP leveling up! Raises the bar again. Top notch service and products and new ones coming out soon!

 

[James Creeper]

TEAM USP — DAY 3: Legs, Calves & Abs
Lower body got worked over, core got sliced.
Still my work Never stops! TEAM USP STYLE!


*Leg Press
6 plates or 270lbs, stance locked narrow today.
Paused reps, no softness. Smooth and controlled.
4×12 — quads BURNS instantly lights up on the inside way more than neutral. Will play more with this. Will be increasing work with ped load going up. And that's in progress now.

*Cable Crunches
Double the weight 80 lbs, rib cage crushed down, spine arched, hips pulling through.
Old rib seems not to like this one, but didn’t stop a single rep.
Controlled and systemic.
I did not put before but I was doing 30-40 reps. And doing 6 sets. This cut it down to 25 reps and 6 sets. I feel I can do way more lbs, And plan to add more this next go.
* Romanian Deadlifts
140 lbs, back loosened, belt tight. Hamstrings lit up.
10 on the opener, then strategic 8s to keep the tank primed.

* Calf Raises
135 lbs on a 2‑inch platform, heels hanging deep.

Calves started cramping a bit again.

* Hanging Leg Raises
Weighted sets with 5 lbs on the feet.
Strict, no sway.
Abs torched, rib still there...

*Smith Machine Squats
225 lbs, neutral stance, tempo locked.
8 → 10 → matched again for sets 3 & 4.
Reps climbing soon.
Daily Totals
- Calories: ~3,050
- Protein: ~260g
-Fats:~75g
- Carbs: Moderate‑high (ideal for recovery)
- Fats: Controlled, mostly from eggs + almond butter

*Notes of the Day
Rest day tomorrow. Carbs going up for recovery, GH ( more iu's soon) and glucose control as normal.
Tank gets refilled because the body definitely needs it.
Wings still really sore to just a bit. They’re getting pushed on extra and the bi's too. Try to get the v more pronounced with at least 18" arms. Or die!


*Bodybuilding News

* Nick Walker “Time Off” Confirmed & Why It Matters
Nick has now publicly hinted he may take time off this year, which lines up with what insiders have been whispering:
He wants to rebuild intentionally, not chase shows.
This is a major shift from his usual “compete as soon as possible” mentality.
Prep coaches are already debating whether this is the smartest move of his career.

* Andrew Jacked, New Training Footage Shows a Different Approach
New clips show Andrew focusing heavily on slow‑tempo hypertrophy work, which is a big departure from his usual explosive style.
This could be a sign he’s trying to fix the density and detail issues critics keep pointing out.

* Samson Dauda Quiet but Dangerous Off‑Season
Samson has been unusually silent, but leaked training footage shows him looking massive and full, with rumors he’s working with a new posing consultant.
This could be the missing piece that cost him the Arnold.

* Urs Kalecinski, Classic Physique “Density Project”
Urs posted new training clips showing him hammering back thickness, the one area where he’s been criticized compared to Ramon.
This is the first time he’s openly acknowledged the gap. As well as his video yesterday working with Priest. Asked him to be his coach

* Ramon Dino, New Sponsorship Deal & Media Push
Ramon just signed a major new sponsorship deal and is filming a documentary‑style series leading into Olympia season.
This signals a full‑scale media push — something he’s never done before.

* Tonio Burton “Dark Horse” Energy Building
Tonio has been posting cryptic training clips with no captions.
Insiders say he’s prepping for a late‑season show, not early.
This is a strategic shift, he’s aiming for peak timing, not volume.

* Regan Grimes, New Coach Rumors
Regan has been spotted training with a coach he’s never worked with before.
Nothing official yet, but the bodybuilding community is buzzing.
If true, this could be the biggest coaching switch of the year.

* Amateur Scene, New Superheavyweight Monster Emerging
A 22‑year‑old superheavyweight from Brazil is blowing up on Instagram with freaky proportions and early‑career density.
Coaches are already calling him “the next big international threat.”

USP NOTES

> Bodybuilding is intentional and the top guys are finally acting like it. Nick stepping back, Andrew changing his training style, Samson tightening the details I hope he can cut the extra weight, and Classic guys pushing density instead of just lines. Everyone’s making strategic moves, not emotional ones. The sport is shifting into a smarter era, and TEAM USP stays ahead of the curve by tracking the angles nobody else is watching. No recycled hype. Just the real moves that shape the season just like the team USP moves! No fake smiles like I seen from Sommerfeld today.


*TEAM USP NEW PRODUCTS COMING SOON!!!

TEAM USP — Rest & Recovery Log (Mass‑Gain Phase On Cruise levels)

Rest day on paper, not in execution. Kept the system moving with house chores, HR stayed 125–135 for 30 minutes on the treadmill, and stayed locked in on the nutrition. Recovery is part of the growth cycle... the goal right now is simple: add size, add mass, stay disciplined.

*Notes of the day.
This morning I was 190, still bouncing 185–190. Clock is ticking down to the next ramp‑up. Felt good overall, didn’t sleep the best.... 5.5 hrs broken up. I hate taking the sleep med, but I think it’ll happen tonight as I need a long one. Working through the med system for this sleep study has been bs. I’ll keep after it.


*Bodybuilding News today

Tomorrow is the Arnold UK, and the storylines finally lined up clean.

Classic Physique:
Mike Sommerfeld actually made weight this time 203.6 lbs no drama, no scale, no hair gate chaos, no “almost made it.” Wesley Vissers is in and looking sharp, so we finally get the clean Classic showdown everyone wanted. Structure vs flow, champion momentum vs aesthetic precision. This one’s real.

Open Bodybuilding:
Andrew Jacked is the obvious favorite, but this lineup has real movers.
Brandon Curry brings champion pedigree and is the one guy who can match Andrew’s silhouette if he’s on. Martin Fitzwater is the riser with momentum he’s been climbing every show and could force his way into the first callout if the IFBB doesn't knee cap him! Mohamed Foda is coming off the Detroit Pro win and has zero pressure, which makes him dangerous. Akim Williams and Hassan Mostafa bring the freak factor, and if either nails conditioning, they can disrupt the whole flow of comparisons. Blessing Awodibu and Patrick Moore round out the lineup with very different strengths, one brings pop and fullness, the other brings clean lines and structure.

This isn’t a soft lineup. If Andrew is even slightly off 5%, someone’s taking his spot. But I don't see it. Next I want Sampson and Jacked on the stage.


*USP KEEPS RISING

 

[James Creeper]

DAY 1 PUSH WORK
CHEST | SHOULDERS | TRIS

*Got in early. The usual cleaned up some messes left for me by everyone including myself after that. 20‑rep push‑up bursts, mobility between rounds. Still using some yoga stretchs this morning too Feeling not so tight after the work is done. Stretched pecs, arms, and back until everything felt primed. And heavy metal as normal playing in the background.

*The garage was a bit cluttered from other projects, needed to clean up the family catch all bs. Hit the treadmill for 35 minutes, mixing it up. I did 90 lb on the leg Press, mainly to stretch deep on the legs and ass just to add something in.

*Dumbbell Bench Press
12–18 reps × 5 sets
Started with the 70 this is starting to feel pretty good in hand. the strength came in smoothly. 15 clean reps, locked‑in form, chest doing exactly what it was told. Tight, controlled, disrespectfully squeezed as I always do.

*Incline Dumbbell Flyes — 15°
10–15 reps × 4 sets
15s in hand, full stretch, slow squeeze. Kept everything in line and pulling on the chest deep. Moving the angle of the arms I can feel different parts of the chest firing off. I did try 20 lbs but it was a bit uncomfortable and could feel the front delt trying to take over.

*Triceps Rope Pushdowns — 75 lbs
10–15 reps × 4 sets
Stack heavy last time so droppedthe weight 5lbs, higher reps. Hit 18 reps first set, tris burning hit 12 on the rest. Clean lockouts, no shortcuts, just pressure cooking.

*Cable Lateral Raises
12–18 reps × 5 sets
Cross‑cable setup lighting all three delt heads. 10 lbs, keeping on track, run it up to 20 first set, and hitting 15, 2-4 sets. And 10 the last but doing partials to cook the delts as much as possible

*Seated Overhead Dumbbell Press (Arnold Press)
8–12 reps × 5 sets
Bench nearly vertical, 30s rotating up. Only 10 reps per set today. Last set hit 12. Grinding the burn in. Imagining the micro damage happening for the signal to grow.

*DAILY FUEL BREAKDOWN
- Calories: 3,085
- Protein: 260g
- Carbs: ~360–380g
- Fat: ~65–75g
- Sodium: ~3,800–4,400mg
- Meals: 6 total

*OVERALL NOTES
Today I felt pretty good, 6.75 hrs sleep thats a lot better than most. Still making a point to keep pressure on for the sleep study bothering my doc today that he reassured me that my referral is in a town an hour away from me but still none the less the other place would not even pick up the phone. Going to schedule blood work to be done soon too. So time for the push is close! TEAM USP will have my back and looking forward to some great progress.



*BODYBUILDING TEAM USP — DAILY NEWS BLOCK 3/27/26 ARNOLD UK RESULTS

CLASSIC PHYSIQUE — RESULTS ARE IN
Mike Sommerfeld walked in with something to prove and walked out with the Arnold UK title.
Wesley Vissers pushed him the entire way, but Mike’s density + crispness sealed it.

Final Placings
- 1st. Mike Sommerfeld
Redemption arc complete. One of the tightest looks he’s ever been. Flow + detail on point.

- 2nd. Wesley Vissers
Sharper than Ohio? legs improved, but not enough to overtake Mike. Even with a bit more mass.

- 3rd. Jorge Herrera
Breakout performance. Held his own in every comparison.

- 4th. Andrea Mammoli
Good structure, needed more pop. And do believe he can still add some size before his cap.

- 5th. Joaquim Camps Angel
Solid, but outgunned.

- 6th. Paul Kanu
Crowd loved him, but lineup was too deep.

- 7th. Sam Sulek
I was going to do just top 6 but everyone talks about him. He came in fuller at a bit of conditioning expense. He looked like he should be there.

*Classic Takeaway
This was the cleanest Classic battle of the season.
Sommerfeld’s win shakes up Olympia projections and resets the division’s momentum.


JOSEPH BAENA FIRST SHOW COMPLETE
Arnold’s son officially stepped onstage for the first time today.

* Key notes:
- Conditioning was better than expected for a debut.
- Posing was full classic Arnold energy wide shots, dramatic transitions.
- Stage presence still developing, but the crowd reacted big.
- Media already calling it a “legacy moment.”

This wasn’t about placing,it was about arriving, and he did. Look forward to see what he can do with his genetics.

* MEN’S OPEN RESULTS STILL PENDING
Andrew Jacked remains the expected winner, but official placings haven’t dropped yet.


TEAM USP SUMMARY BLOCK
Classic Physique delivered Sommerfeld took the win over a razorsharp Wesley. Personally I think Mike looks really good at his real cap and don't know why he was trying to be heavier than this as he looked more "Classic"
Men’s Open results pending, but Andrew looked dam good. And Brandon Curry was really impressive and his best look yet?... Of course Martin in at 3rd looked good. But not anything like the bag of chocolate in first.



*TEAM USP keeps rising! You can too, come check and browse for yourself. New products any day soon.

DAY 2 — PULL | BACK • BICEPS • REAR DELTS
*Back to do some work, tunes on. Put in on a random mix. Some of today's music is just crap. Or me just being old. No...it is shit. Did some yoga stretchs before the treadmill feeling pretty good.

*45 minutes on the treadmill at a steady 125–135 BPM

*Bent‑Over Barbell Rows
50 lbs — 15, 15, 15
Back instantly took fire. Hinge locked, bar path clean, reps and feeling good, powered down on this, it felt good.

95 on the stack , 45 for uni.
Wide‑to‑narrow rotation for 16–18 reps across 6 sets.

* Extra sets, bench then in a laying curl,
90 seconds between sets
* laying bench curl 20 lbs x 3 sets, only can hit 10 on this on the first set. Then 8, following a 6. And pitiful partials, till dropped.

TEAM USP ALWAYS LOCK IN. ARNOLD UK JUST SHOOK THE SEASON.
Momentum isn’t given. It’s taken. And today? A few athletes took everything they needed heading into Olympia season. Let’s run it clean, aggressive, and exactly how TEAM USP delivers it.

MEN’S OPEN
1, Andrew Jacked
Two Arnolds in one month. That’s not a win streak, that’s a hostile takeover. And a Million dollars in a month!
* Front shots are cartoonish.
* Flow + height + silhouette = nightmare matchup for anyone not named Hadi or Derek.
* This wasn’t luck. This was confirmation.

2 — Brandon Curry
Still polished. Still round. Still dangerous. But Andrew’s structure made him look a step behind.
* Needs sharper condition or more pop to flip this script. Still a great look from Brandon. I was happy for him.

3, Patrick Moore
Shape is elite. Presentation elite.
* Back density still the limiter, but this was a real return to relevance.

4, Martin Fitzwater
Big, gritty, but lacked the finesse to break into that top 3 today. Definitely had a wattery look.
*When the lineup is this aesthetic-heavy, any imbalance gets punished.

Rest of the pack: Blessing, Akim, Abou, Hassan, solid, but none forced the judges to rethink the hierarchy.

MEN’S PHYSIQUE
Winner, Vitor Chaves
That silhouette is textbook modern MP.
* Tight. Dry. Zero wasted motion.
* This look can absolutely disrupt Olympia callouts.


*BIKINI
Winner — Ashlyn Little
Balanced, crisp, and confident.
* Nothing overpowering, nothing missing.
* Judges love this kind of “complete but not excessive” look. So doing I.


* FITNESS
Winner, Michelle Fredua‑Mensah
Routine + physique = problem for the division.
* She’s not winning on performance alone the body matches the skill.
- Every show she enters becomes “who can actually beat her.”

WELLNESS
Winner, Rayane Fogal
Lower body dominance with upper body balance dialed in.
* Full, round, tight no spill, no blur.
* First‑callout Olympia potential written all over it.

* PRO WHEELCHAIR
