I read about the loss of bodybuilding legend, powerlifter, and two-time Mr. Olympia, Dr. Franco Columbu. I hardly need to go into the impact he had on bodybuilding. His life was a life well-lived, one with a deeply personal and meaningful purpose.

Gene Rychlak Jr., president and founder of RPS and the first man to bench over 900 and 1,000 pounds, died this morning due to a heart condition.
