I only had fifteen minutes to spare at Muscle Beach - not quite enough time for a real work out - but I had to lift some iron at the historic spot. So, after a couple of quick warm up sets, I pulled two reps with 500+ lbs. for a photo (and video)

We stayed at the Cadillac Hotel, which for the bodybuilding fan is ideally located on Venice Beach; it is two blocks from the Firehouse Restaurant and only a few more blocks from Muscle Beach and Gold’s Gym Venice the Mecca of Bodybuilding too. And even better, it was right next to a film production set that [...]

While I was visiting Los Angeles, my friend Rehan Jalali invited me to the Hollywood premiere of the steroid documentary “Bigger Stronger Faster*” Tuesday night. Even though I had previously seen the film at the Dallas AFI Film Festival, I still wanted to see it again. It would be especially cool to see it with [...]

We flew into LAX, picked up a rental car, spent a few hours at Venice Beach and then drove to Las Vegas to meet with our friends and partners, Wolfgang and Katie, at Muscletime. We missed Raymond as he returned to Malta shortly after the New York Pro show.

This weekend I travelled to New York City for to cover the 2008 IFBB New York Pro bodybuilding contest for Muscletime. I met with up with my friend Raymond Cassar, the man responsible for all the great photography on the Muscletime website. Raymond took approximately 1,600 bodybuilding photographs during the show, some of which have [...]

Many people have asked me about the new header for MillardBaker.com. It was adapted from a photograph of pro bodybuilder Silvio Samuel taken by Muscletime photographer Raymond Cassar. It is my tribute to two awesome artists. The photo is example of the art form inherent in bodybuilding and physique development.
Silvio Samuel recently won the Muscletime Award [...]

Just as we were leaving to head to LAX, Kevin Levrone walks into Firehouse and talks to Raymond. Raymond introduces him to me, my wife and daughter. Levrone is one of the all time great bodybuilders. He has retired from bodybuilding in order to pursue an acting career; he had a good role in the [...]

We went to the Firehouse Grill on our way to LAX for brunch. When we walked in, we saw Jay Cutler eating the “Bodybuilder’s Breakfast” - 6 pancakes, chicken breast and scrambled egg whites.
Jay held a seminar yesterday and told the audience that he is getting tired of eating like a bodybuilder. Kris Gethin wrote [...]

I saw IFBB Daron Lytle in the audience during the finals of the 2008 Iron Man Pro. I first met Daron in Brussels, Belgium at the 2007 Belgium Nationals (where Clarence DeVis won his pro card and Muscletime was the only pro bodybuilding news organization in attendance). Daron Lytle moved to California in December 2007. [...]

I chatted with Isaac Hinds from Lift Studios after he gave a very informative marketing seminar during the 2008 Iron Man Pro weekend events. Isaac is a prime example of someone who pursued his passion for bodybuilding and fitness and parlayed it into a career in the industry. He shared his experience and offered tips to others during [...]
