#shawnray #bodybuildingpodcast #mrolympia #arnoldclassic Hey guys, In this episode of the Fantom Podcast I get to sit sown and talk to one of my all time favourite bodybuilder's and a huge inspiration to me when I first started training. Mr Sugar Shawn Ray. Shawn first broke onto the scene in 1987 where he won his pro card at the Atlantic City championships and it was plain to see a star was born. From then on Shawn competed in no less than 13 Mr Olympia's and placing within the top 5 competing against the all time greats like Lee Haney, Dorian Yates and Ronnie Coleman. Shawn has secured his name as one of the legends of bodybuilding and hall of famer. Ladies and gentleman we give you Shawn Ray.

About This Video

I’m back on the Fantom Podcast, live from Ultimate Fitness, and this one’s a proper bucket-list chat for me — I sat down with one of my all-time favourites, “Mr Sugar” Shawn Ray. We get into his Arnold Classic history (and yeah, he corrected it), how he’s still moving around expos getting stopped by fans, and why he’s embraced the whole influencer/YouTube era instead of moaning about it. Shawn’s big on telling the truth — constructive criticism, not personal attacks — and he explains why being honest is polarising in a world where everything’s plastic. We also go deep on the business side: Shawn’s involvement with Mutant, how they stepped up as Arnold Classic sponsor during the chaos, and why having real fans running companies (like Jim McMahon, Jake Wood) changes the sport. Then we get into the hardcore stuff I love — training mentality, why Shawn lived for the prep more than the show, and how he used to try to drown training partners like Flex Wheeler in the “deep end” just to make himself better. Finally, Shawn breaks down why he only cared about winning the Olympia, how he managed his body post-career, and what the WBF got wrong with guaranteed money and taking ownership away from athletes.
