Glutes are slowly coming in, but I want them to really be peeled and dialed before I jump into something. “SURPRISE GUYS!”

No thread on this yet, but as far as recent news I feel like this is a pretty huge story.

Someone with more time can probably fill the timeline in better but, here’s what’s going on so far. I’m leaving Dallas’ story out of it as it’s already been covered tons.

• Matt and/or Nick pulls Nick out of the 2024 Mr. Olympia contest (which he missed the year prior due to injury). Nick Walker had initially posted this on his instagram but it has since been removed from there according to Nick’s Strength and Power.

• Shaun Clarida comes in significantly smaller, and flatter at the 2024 Mr. Olympia.

• Quint Beastwood of HD Muscle, former client of Matt Jansen puts out 20 minute long video detailing his negative experience working with Matt.

• Brett Wilkin confirms that Nick, Shaun Clarida and himself have all parted ways with Matt. At the time of the video Brett says it happened “days ago” so that means it was before Quinton’s video.. so that’s something to think about. He talks about it around the 1 hour 50 minute mark. He also mentions that Matt may be done coaching all together.

I’m getting the feeling that Matt is probably just neck deep in RAW/revive business at this point and can’t dedicate the energy to coaching anymore. That’s purely speculation on my part, as I don’t know him, nor any of his clients. However, it seems very likely that this is the case. Regardless I’m a fan of the sport as a whole and I wish everyone involved the utmost happiness, and peace within their own personal lives as well.

EDIT: There’s been quite a few comments from users who wish to have a centralized place to talk about the specifically professional side of bodybuilding, I’m unaware of any other active sub-reddits dedicated to that topic in particular so I created r/probb

I don’t have a lot of time to spend on here, but I’m working on getting it set up and I think it would be cool to see it thrive. Please DM me suggestions if anyone has any. Thanks.
