Ohio’s born-and-bred John Meadows has also carved out a unique place for himself in the bodybuilding industry. Even before he became a pro, this former vice president at J.P. Morgan, who came from humble beginnings and survived a life-threatening illness, became a social media phenomenon and in demand for world tours. In “Made in Columbus,” John tells his remarkable story to MD’s Peter McGough, a stirring tale that is climaxed by the experience of competing at the 2016 Arnold Classic in his hometown.

It has not been a smooth ride for Jared Wheat, CEO of Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, who founded his successful company in 1994. In 2004, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) came at him with a lawsuit and a product recall demand that ultimately cost Wheat nearly $16 million in fines. Ten years later, the FTC launched another attack on Hi-Tech, and the fine was a whopping $40 million. Never one to back down and cave in to a bully, Jared appealed the decision and ultimately had it overturned. In “Hi-Tech’s High-Stakes Battle – CEO Jared Wheat Takes on the FTC and the FDA,” Ron Harris talks to this maverick who refuses to back down against the combined might of the FTC and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), who are constantly seeking greater control of and limitations on the dietary supplement industry.

We saw Dexter Jackson looking slightly thicker and fuller, yet with the same nasty diced condition he is known for, last September at the Mr. Olympia – it was good enough to push Phil Heath to his limits. The New York Pro is really the only major title that Dexter hasn’t won yet, and he aims to add it to his impressive collection of 24 pro wins and counting. His master plan is revealed in “Dexter Takes New York? Ageless Dexter Jackson Aims for the New York Pro Title.”
