Biography
Brian “Muscles” Back is a man of contradictions. By day, he works tirelessly — often too much — staring down deadlines with the same intensity he once reserved for bench presses. He is remembered as a former professional bodybuilder, a role that left him with oversized biceps and undersized patience. His transition away from the stage, however, involved scenic detours.
His knees, battle-scarred from the glory days of middle school soccer, ended one dream and opened the door to another. Naturally, he turned to golf — a sport where knees matter slightly less but patience matters infinitely more. The enthusiasm is unquestionable; the handicap is also unquestionable. Yet he persists, frequently dressing like a tour pro to persuade the ball of his intentions.
Beyond sports, Brian entertained a short-lived career in rapping under the name B Rizzle. While his beats were confident, his rhymes were best described as courageous experiments in free expression. He also founded a startup called Datazar — noble, valiant, ultimately unsuccessful. In competitive eating, however, he thrives, transforming casual meals into sanctioned events. His muscles are substantial, and his confidence even more so.
