When “Part 1 of My Story: Gyno Surgery” left off, I was about to get on a plane with my fiancé to New York to finally have my long awaited surgery with Dr. Blau. We arrived in Westchester, New York almost 2 months from when I had first reached out to Dave Palumbo on email seeking advice and help. Once we landed and got settled into to our hotel we tried to make ourselves as comfortable as possible. With this procedure, Dr. Blau insists his out of town patients stay for 4-5 days following surgery in case there are any complications, but also for a follow up visit and to remove bandages. Prior to flying up, he also mailed a booklet with detailed instructions and restrictions of things I couldn’t do prior to surgery and in the days following. He placed a special emphasis on bodybuilders stopping all supplements right down to whey protein drinks and multi-vitamins. And naturally he wanted movement to be limited until the follow-up visit – no training, no sex, and no unnecessary walking around.

Why are people so hypocritical? These days you would think the average bodybuilder is as guilty as a black guy walking through a Korean liquor store in Southern California. I remember when people were embarrassed to be out of shape and now it seems like it’s a rite of passage to be a sweaty fat slob. Since when did it become so strange and out of this world to see someone in public that actually takes care of themselves? It doesn’t matter if I’m at the grocery store, getting my oil changed, or even at the gym, somebody is in the background snickering, “that dude’s on shit!” Can you believe it? It’s so out of the norm nowadays to see a young or middle-aged man with a vein running down his bicep that he clearly must be on something. I’ve been getting accused of taking gear well before I ever heard the words Sustenon or Anadrol. And then there are the real ignorant folks who still believe creatine and protein drinks are steroids. It’s amazing to think these people are still allowed to vote, bear children, or get behind a steering wheel.

Earlier today Robert Kennedy Publishing, which is responsible for Musclemag, Oxygen, and Reps magazines, shut its doors and sent its employees home. Musclemag was established by in 1974, but as of today, the magazine, along with the other titles are done. You won’t be receiving any more copies in the mail, and you won’t be able to buy the magazine in the grocery store. And Robert Kennedy Publishing is in the process of declaring bankruptcy.

Hobbies of a bodybuilder. Choice or Circumstance?
"My Hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation." - Al Yankovic
I like this quote by Al Yankovic because if you ask most people in the bodybuilding community what they do for a vocation… an overwhelming consensus is personal training, contest prep, nutrition, etc. Invariably, there came a time when many people switched their vocation to something that would suit this lifestyle. I'm a prime example… an attorney switching to personal trainer and fitness consultant. Now, I work in marketing for an elite supplement company (SPECIES NUTRITION). In effect, this was all possible because I got into bodybuilding and the vocation suited the lifestyle.

Where do I begin with this story? Gynecomastia affects more than 50% males world-wide. Odds are that you or somebody you know has it. And to make matters worse, doctors don’t really know what causes it. In bodybuilding, we automatically assume somebody got it from using a steroid that aromatizes like test and dbol, or, if you’re really unlucky, a progesterone induced case from tren or deca. But the truth is, just about anything can cause male breast tissue to grow. I developed my gynecomastia long before I ever took my first shot of test or blew up 30lb with dbol.
