Joe Weider’s Olympia, the most prestigious contest in the bodybuilding universe, takes place on September 16th and 17th at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The Mr. Olympia title represents the pinnacle of achievement in the sport of bodybuilding. Beginning in 1965, one man was chosen to represent the absolute best in muscular development in the entire world. The 52nd staging of what has grown to become an all-encompassing fitness and performance weekend will be the setting for Phil Heath to attempt to take possession of his sixth Sandow. Will the reigning Mr. Olympia experience the joy of six, or will a new king of bodybuilding be crowned?

Phil Heath, Denver’s most muscular resident, is so good that he can beat his rivals even when he’s not at his best. But is there anyone who can possibly beat Phil this year?

Three-time Ms. Olympia Bikini and IFBB Pro Ashley Kaltwasser is one of the fittest women on the planet, and her appearance in the April 2016 issue of Muscular Development created such a testosterone tremor with our readers that we brought Ashley back again for this month’s Major Distraction called, “Ashley’s Other Secret.” Ashley will be competing to defend her title at this year’s Olympia. One look at the photos of Ashley in this month’s MD, and the judging becomes easy— it’s impossible to take your eyes off her.
