Life After the Stage: What Happens to Professional Bodybuilders After Retirement?
Retiring from professional bodybuilding is more than just stepping away from competition—it’s a significant physical, mental, and hormonal shift; especially with Olympia level competitors. After years of pushing their bodies to the extreme with intense training, strict dieting, and, for many, the use of anabolic steroids, retired bodybuilders often face serious physiological changes that can impact their health and well-being for the rest of their lives.
Our team at Generation Iron is going to break down what happens to bodybuilders after they permanently step off the stage.

Power Curl Exercise Guide: How to, Benefits, & More
The biceps curl is a classic isolation exercise specifically targeting the biceps brachii — the muscle running along the top of your arm. While it’s great for building impressive, sleeve-filling arms, it also complements pulling exercises like deadlifts and bent-over rows by improving your ability to lift heavier weights and reducing the risk of injury (1).
But what if you’re ready to take your biceps training to the next level by incorporating more muscle groups and adding explosive power to your routine? Enter the power curl — a dynamic variation that combines momentum-driven movement with arm-strengthening benefits while also engaging additional muscle groups.
