IRON MAN May '10

Our May issue has a distinct over-40-bodybuilding flavor, starting with an intriguing interview: We talk with the first Fitness Olympia champ, Mia Finnegan, now in her 40s. What’s she doing now, trainingwise and otherwise? And what’s her take on the fitness, figure—and bikini—women of today? Good stuff! Next we put some Qs to 60-plus fitness guru Joe Dillon. His advice on building muscle, eating right and staying lean and youthful through middle age and beyond is priceless—and may surprise you. Plus, Eric Broser reveals his best arm-shocking workouts for king-sized bi’s and tri’s.
