The 4,000-Calorie Diet That Helped Tristyn Lee Gain 40 Pounds

Bodybuilder Tristyn Lee has taken his physique transformation seriously. Over a year, the 21-year-old bulked up from 138 pounds(62.6 kilograms) to 175 pounds (80 kilograms).  The most notable change he made was ditching his carnivore diet and adding in carbs, a decision he outlined in a video posted to Renaissance Periodization’s YouTube channel nine months ago (from when this article was posted). Lee posted a snapshot of the one-year mark of mass-gaining efforts below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tristyn Lee (@tristynleeofficial) Lee rose to social media fame years ago as a shredded teenager with soccer skills and a world-class work ethic.

How to Watch the 2024 World’s Strongest Man

From May 1-5, athletes vying to be crowned the strongest man in the world at the 2024 World’s Strongest Man (WSM) will duke it out in Myrtle Beach, SC. If you’re not in South Carolina, you’ll have to wait a bit for full coverage, as the 2024 WSM won’t be livestreamed . Here’s how you can still keep up with the happenings on the competition floor. Fans aren’t doomed to forever piece the competition together through their social media feed — although that promises to be fun, with fan favorites like defending champ Mitchell Hooper and soon-retiring Rob Kearney vying for the title. CBS and the CBS Sports Network will air footage from the contest all summer long , with event coverage starting on May 28 and running through July 27 . These episodes will also air on Paramount+ (Live). Would-be spectators in the UK will have to wait a whole lot longer — all the way through to December, when the competition will be broadcast on Channel 5 . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8wnEyQxl-c Vi...

Ronnie Coleman vs. Mariusz Pudzianowski: A Fantasy Strongman Showdown

Bodybuilding and strongman training methodologies vary significantly. The former focuses on building muscle for aesthetics , while the latter focuses on the efficiency of movement patterns and max lifts. Some elite athletes have the potential to cross between these strength sports and excel in both arenas.  One such athlete is Ronnie Coleman , an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion (1998-2005). His undeniable genetic advantage and chiseled physique earned him eight consecutive Sandow trophies, while his remarkable strength in his prime remains legendary. On the other end, five-time World’s Strongest Man (WSM) champion Marius Pudzianowski carried an aesthetic physique that could likely have contended in elite Men’s Open bodybuilding contests if given full focus. Reigning WSM Mitchell Hooper published a deep dive on his YouTube channel, exploring the hypothetical of a strongman battle between Coleman and Pudzianowski .
