Next MD Cover: Justin Compton: What Champions Are Made Of

[Steve Blechman]

It didn’t take long for people to notice Justin Compton’s potential once he stepped into the gym 10 years ago. After he was training for six months, a former professional bodybuilder told Justin: “I’ve been watching you and you’re not like other kids, you are doing this for a purpose. You have the genetics and if you keep it up, you will be going places.”

Today Justin is one of the bodybuilding’s fastest-rising stars, winning the 2014 Europa Orlando after adding 100 pounds to his frame. He placed an impressive fifth at his pro debut at the 2013 Chicago Pro. Justin has made tremendous improvements in muscularity and size through hard work, dedication, smart training and consistency. Each and every day, Justin is focused on bodybuilding and always gives it 100 percent. That is the mindset and attitude of a champion, someone who can rise to the top of bodybuilding, a member of Team MD and on this month’s cover.

In “Justin Compton: Time for Reflection” an exclusive interview with Peter McGough, Justin looks back on where he’s been and speculates on where he’s going, including thoughts on the Mr. Olympia title.

The rest of the book is packed to the binder as usual – with all the latest cutting-edge research and information on bodybuilding by the industry experts and insiders who make it all happen. See you next month!

Congrats to Compton. He has a very bright future a head of him!!!

[NCFreedom]

I agree with him having a bright future. I don't like the "future Mr. O" label that seems to always be a curse.

It's good to see new faces on covers though.

[alexxxxx]

next generation! nice cover MD!

[kaizenro]

So glad he's on the cover but wonder why the continued use of B&W for them? I'd prefer more than one shot on it too.

It is the successor to Jay Cutler, after years of darkness will bring greatness to the sport once again.

[kaizenro]

Just looked this up. 5th place Eddy Wilson looks like a black Justin Compton (didn't catch the back though)

! What's up with that guy?
I can't believe how good Delarosa is. If his conditioning was better, it would've been hard to decide. From the back he's almost looking like a 2011 Heath!
P.S. Marius was screwed.

Ha ha was this subliminal racism?

[kaizenro]

Ha ha was this subliminal racism?

Whoa! Haha

[Beti ona]

Ha ha was this subliminal racism?

I was caught, lol

Jay, priest and Flex are my favorite bodybuilders. Dark period is not for skin color, Coleman and Haney settled periods of greatness and hope now is the turn of Justin.

[blacktaboo]

I like this kid.......Well deserved cover!!!

[TX_Iron]

Admittedly, I browsed the mag because of a new face on the front.

[bodybuilder23]

Compton is the future.


By the way jon couldnt beat compton if he had a bazooka. Jon got absolutely dwarfed and put in his place standing next to justin. 212 should be his next step, the open class is filled with freaks, maybe after wasting 10 years he will drop down

ha ha, you guys whant so bad to have a white champion icon again .But this will never ever ever happend againYou know why? we dont give a fuck,we eat 7 times a day,take steroids and dont give a fuck.And the great God HAS given us superior genes when it comes to bodybuilding.There are many great white bodybuilders ,but none compered to JAY CUTLER.There is no new white hope even how bad you guys want it and if compton won against a short delarosa,and thats youre new white hope? ha ha ha.I understand that white people would want a white next big thing,but since Jay retired it looks sad and WE all know that the next thing is a arab( ha ha) but you guys will always have my nigga gunther(loved him) if i was white i would want to look like him

[Beti ona]

I want a new champion, Arab or white does not matter. Ramy is massive and invincible, but Justin have a very complete look, size and forms, also is more commercial.
