Long never got to fulfill that goal, but he is still remembered for his posing, presentation, and incredible physique that stood out in an era of mass monsters such as then Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates, Nasser El Sonbaty, and others. Long has stayed involved in the industry in a variety of roles, including as a trainer, coach and mentor to other competitors. He also has transitioned into the meal prep business, which has been very successful for him.

“We’re doing it in a big way,” said Long. “We ship nationwide, and we have 40 to 45 different drop off locations with gyms and coffee shops and things like that.” Long feels that his service stands out because of the attention to detail that he and his team pay to what their customers need.
