Hardcore Truth With Johnnie O. Jackson: How To Improve Focus In The Gym




Johnnie O. Jackson shares the hardcore truth on the importance of focus - calling it the single most determining factor in bodybuilding success.

What separates a pro bodybuilder from everyone else? Genetics? Certainly to some degree. Drugs like steroids? This is a misleading factor in the true success of a bodybuilding athlete. The true difference between a bodybuilding legend and the many aspiring who miss the mark comes down to focus. A bodybuilder like Phil Heath or Ronnie Coleman combine all of their strengths into one singular focus beyond what any normal person perceives possible. That's how they became Olympia legends. In our latest episode of Hardcore Truth, Johnnie O. Jackson breaks down the importance of focus and tips on how to improve your mental sharpness while training.

Hardcore Truth: Johnnie O. Jackson Responds To Negative Reactions Of His Near-Death Story



Johnnie O. Jackson clears the air regarding negative criticism he received on the details of his near-death experience video.

Towards the beginning of March 2022, Johnnie O. Jackson released an episode of Hardcore Truth discussing his past PED use habits in bodybuilding and a near-death experience during contest prep. Shortly after posting the episode, Jackson faced negative criticism for how he explained the story and the details behind the specifics of his PED use. Admittedly, discussing PED use specifics can be a slippery slope in terms of how this kind of information is absorbed by the public. The last thing Jackson wants to do is mislead fans in the bodybuilding. That's why on this week's episode of Hardcore Truth, Johnnie O. Jackson responds to the negative reactions to his near-death story.

Hardcore Truth: Will Johnnie O. Jackson Compete In Masters Olympia In 2023?

Johnnie O. Jackson discusses his excitement for the possible return of the Masters Olympia, whether he will compete, and why the competition is so important for the sport.

Jake Wood made headlines in February 2022, when he confirmed that he is working on brining back the Masters Olympia to the IFBB Pro league. The Masters Olympia ran from 1994 to 2003 and then a brief return in 2012 with Dexter Jackson earning the final big win for the competition. Since then, the Masters Olympia has vanished. Now it seems that 2023 will bring back the prestigious competition - and Johnnie O. Jackson couldn't be happier to hear the news. In our latest episode of Hardcore Truth, Johnnie O. Jackson explains why the Masters Olympia return is a big deal - and the true importance of the competition for the sport.

Hardcore Truth: Johnnie O. Jackson’s Gym Etiquette Pet Peeve




Johnnie O. Jackson talks about gym preppers and spreaders that annoy him in the gym

The gym is a shared space which means that it's important for gym members to be courteous of other people around them. This is true for even most pro bodybuilders - who despite their status still train in public (albeit more hardcore) gyms. And while some gym etiquette rules are obvious - there are some that might be more of a grey area depending on your personality and experience level. Johnnie O. Jackson witnessed something in the gym this past weekend that "urked" him despite not being objectively rude. In our latest episode of Hardcore Truth, Johnnie O. Jackson talks about individuals who over prepare in the gym and spread too much in a public space.

Johnnie O. Jackson believes that the Women's Bodybuilding division is still being snubbed by the pro league.

In 2020, the bodybuilding world rejoiced upon the return of the Ms. Olympia competition to the Olympia weekend. This came after the competition was discontinued for six years - with many believing it would never return. This is all part of Jake Wood's passion and respect for Women's Bodybuilding - and his plan to bring it back into popularity across the sport. While this is a great start, other massive competitions, such as the Arnold Classic, still refuse to put on a Women's Bodybuilding competition. In our latest episode of Hardcore Truth, Johnnie O. Jackson comments on the lack of representation for Women's Bodybuilding and the Ms. Olympia not being enough.
