Heavy Muscle Radio

Heavy Muscle Radio is one of the longest-running bodybuilding podcasts out there, hosted by Dave Palumbo and Chris Aceto through the RXMuscle platform. Every Monday night, these two break down the latest news from professional bodybuilding, and their dynamic is honestly half the reason people tune in. Palumbo is notorious for interrupting -- fans joke about it constantly -- but his rapid-fire commentary paired with Aceto's more measured analysis creates an entertaining push-and-pull that keeps episodes moving. The show leans heavily into competitive bodybuilding coverage. Expect detailed breakdowns of the Olympia, Arnold Classic, and other major contests, plus speculation about who's looking good and who's slipping. Episodes typically run 45 minutes to just over an hour, which makes them digestible compared to the marathon-length shows in this space. They regularly bring on current and former competitors, judges, and coaches as guests. With 308 episodes and a 4.6 rating, the show has maintained a loyal following built on Palumbo's decades of industry connections. He's not just a podcast host -- he's been deeply embedded in bodybuilding as a competitor, coach, and media figure. The show doesn't shy away from controversy or backstage drama, and the pair will call it like they see it even when it ruffles feathers. It's old-school bodybuilding media done right, with strong opinions and the credibility to back them up.
