    • ]]>     Episode 4 - The Real Reason You Will Never Win A Bodybuilding Show Brandon Lirio 00:16:46 Unlike many sports that rely on points and goals, competitive bodybuilding is a sport that has a core level of subjectivity. It’s more akin to a beauty pageant than something like football. A criteria is set for the physiques but judges have to use their own taste in applying that criteria to how they score the athletes. Due to this, many have worried or made claims that “politics” corrupt the competitions. That judges will favor higher scores for certain athletes regardless of criteria. In our latest episode of the U-Natty States Of America podcast, Brandon Lirio breaks down the reality of corruption claims, myth busts popular theories, and explores the psychology as to why athletes (and fans) might believe that politics affect competition results.

    • ]]>     Bodybuilding Social Media Is Bullsh*t And The Fans Killed It Brandon Lirio, Vlad Yudin 00:43:58 Like it or not, social media is a way of life across the world. This is true no matter what circle you socialize in. It’s true in nearly all industries and job sectors. It has become a part of day to day life. This has been for connecting people in brand new ways and, in bodybuilding, providing new platform opportunities for athletes, businesses, and fans alike. Unfortunately, it has also proven to help stoke division, arguments, and toxic behavior. This affects bodybuilding in a major way due to the entire enterprise revolving around subjective opinions of a person’s body. That’s why Brandon Lirio connected with Generation Iron Brands LLC founder, producer, and film director Vlad Yudin. The two sit down for a video discussion about the current state of bodybuilding and how it intersects with social media. Is social media making content worse? Is it hurting the sport as a whole? Or is it simply making us more aware of what was already out there. In this week’s episode of the U-Natty States Of America podcast, Brandon Lirio debates with Vlad Yudin about the death of social media and how it can take down bodybuilding with it.

But the truth is that nearly all professional sports have a drug problem. While different leagues have different measures in place to prevent drug use (if tested at all), nearly every sport has had its own scandal involving an iconic athlete using PEDs. The problem with this – is that tried and true natural leagues then fall under the same cynicism. There is a very loud base of bodybuilding fans who think most bodybuilders in natural leagues are cheating the system and using. Is it true? In our latest episode of U-Natty States Of America, natural bodybuilder and host Brandon Lirio dives deep into the reality of PED use in bodybuilding and sports at large.
