Iron World Tour - We Are A Team

Irene Andersen is competing in her 38th competition in the 2020 Ms. Olympia.

This year presented a lot of obstacles and tough times for most people however the fact that the Olympia happened for all of these competitors was definitely a high note of 2020.

Irene Andersen - World Class Passion

The Iron World Tour and 2020 Mr. Olympia in Orlando has come to an end but the journey continues.

Where passion meets purpose is the sweet spot for success. Branch Warren explains that he aspired to do more and be more and the affinity for bodybuilding and being process driven was the key.

This week in Orlando we brought some of the inner team, some of our key athletes, ambassadors and friends to take over Orlando by way of training meet ups, airboat tours and all the Olympia outings that come with the Olympia weekend.

The trip was a great success and a catalyst for bigger and broader plans to come.

This year we have really pushed the envelope to give back to competitors globally who commit, follow though and win their respective classes in some of our events.

Here we link up with several of the champions from the NPC Battle of Texas promoted by IFBB Pros Sheilahe Brown and Freddy Naidu.

All have different stories however all were met with obstacles, challenges and difficult times that they had to either push through or adapt and overcome.

This is a montage from all of the interviews with several highlights from each competitor. These winners received their national qualification as well as a professional photoshoot and video shoot at destination (GASP and Better Bodies HQ) the following Sunday to commemorate their achievements.

We hit the ground running with guests flying in to build on the momentum from 2020.

Here, hybrid athlete, Kaged Muscle CEO, world renowned trainer and long time friend of GASP and Better Bodies Kris Gethin comes to Dallas for a few days and links up with Hunter Labrada on his hamstring focused leg day.

We get to know Kris for the first time for some of you and get some insight to who Kris is during this video. In the opening of this video Kris speaks on how important it is to NOT compare yourself to others but instead be inspired by how others excel and see how you can apply or incorporate to your own life and run with it.

Hunter also sheds some light on sticking to the "unsexy" basics and how being ultra anal on tracking progress on said basics can reduce drastic results over time. It is never a quick fix when it comes to bodybuilding or anything worth achieving. Time and consistency is always key!

Kris later links up with GASP and Better Bodies CEO Michael Johansson for an in depth chat on Kris's upbringing and many pursuits in life and also catches a back training session the following day with a rejuvenated and HUNGRY Guy Cisternino.

So stick with the you vs you mentality and realize your own max potential.

Success knows no age. It doesn't discriminate from old to young. It is safe to say that success might be more elusive when a few key components are absent.

Here we link up in a real and raw Destination LIVE interview with GASP CEO Michael Johansson, Kris Gethin, moto phenom Ty Masterpool and Brandon Pederson.

Ty Masterpool is only 19 years old but is experiencing massive success on the moto scene. Moto sports is not so far removed from bodybuilding in the sense that training, nutrition, mentality and work ethic play critical roles is how high you rise and how fast.

In this interview, Michael and Kris find the commonalities between bodybuilding and business success and the success that Ty and Pederson are building on right now.
