happy halloween everybody! be careful driving tonite, there will be kids all over the place! i trained hamstrings yesterday, it wasnt the most exciting workout, but i was glad to be able to do something. today im resting and tomorrow im going to see if i can train back, im a little nervous. ive been drinking alot of shakes lately because my appetite has been down from lack of training. i go through a jug of vanilla ISOLYZE a week! i wanna give a shout out to james "flex" lewis, who recently won his pro card in england. james is young, but jacked up already, ive been talking to him online and he is a humble, good dude! thats all for today, try not to eat to much candy tonite!

oct 30

whats up every body! i finally got to do a half way decent workout yesterday. normally i like to do quads and hams on the same day, but since i still cant really train chest, i decided to split the legs up into 2 days so i can be in the gym some more. yesterday i did quads, i started with 6 lite sets of leg extensions doing high reps,next i moved on to hack squats where i did 4 lite sets, then i went to the leg press where i did 4 more lite sets, and finally i finished with some single leg-leg presses for 3 sets. i also did calves and abs. today will be all hamstrings. it felt good to be training again, i hate holding myself back, but i know i have to. did anyone watch the football game last nite? bret favre is the man, what a game! favre is an inspiration to so many people, to be playing at the level he is playing at, at nearly 40 years old is incredible! unfortunately, nobody is gonna catch the pats, there just head and shoulders above everybody else. dont forget that i will be at the EAST COAST BODYBUILDING FITNESS AND FIGURE CHAMPIONSHIPS, this saturday at kennedy high school in the totowa section of paterson NJ. stop by and say hi if your in the area. thats it for today. ill be back tomorrow.

oct 20

its saturday morning, normally i would be getting ready to go train arms,not today. i still have bleeding and swelling, so i still cant train! im going down to see my boy dave palumbo in long island today. after i go over my off season plan, im going to see if he knows something that will speed up my healing process. for now im just trying to maintain a decent bodyweight. im about 235. i loose weight when im not training. i've been keeping my calories up and even added in an extra shake with ISOLYZE and all natural peanut butter. i just have a really fast metabolism. hopefully dave will give me some positive news today. O.K., i gotta get movin, enjoy your workouts, no matter how much you dread them at times, its way worse when you cant train at all,LOL! have a great day!

oct 19

morning everybody. its friday, and im going back to the doctor. i gotta get more blood drained today, i really hope this is the last time! this is driving me nuts. check this out, i now have received a couple of emails from a guy, the polster or justin h, i have no clue who this person is but he feels he needs to send me negative emails. this blog is for freinds, fans and family, as is the website and the myspace page. i guess when you start climbing the latter in this sport you come across more and more haters. listen, i dont have the time for internet fighting, so lets keep things positive! the thing i love is, most people who are name callers or finger pointers look terrible. keep your coments to your self. there is a saying i learned when i was young, to belittle is to be little. worry about improving yourself, dont waste your time picking on others. thats all i have to say for today. ill be back tomorrow to let ya all know what happened at the doctor.

Thursday, October 18, 2007

oct 18

hey everybody, i got some bad news yesterday. all though the doctor says im healing fine, he said i wont be able to work out on monday like i originally planned. i cant workout until my swelling and bleeding stops! yesterday i had to get a bunch of blood drained out. im back in the gym training clients again, but i cant pick anything up or rack weights yet. i just gotta keep hoping that each day it will get a little better. btw-my kitty is bad! he keeps us up all nite! i have to take him and lock him in another room otherwise he jumps on nicoles head all nite and the poor girl gets up at 4 everyday!LOL! just to let everyone now i will be at tatiana butlers show in jersey on nov 3rd, i hope to see some of you there. ill be at pre judging as well as nite because i have a client competing in the teenage bodybuilding division. anyone in the jersey area should come check it out! keep sending me emails i love to hear what you have to say! have a great day everyone.

oct 16

o.k., im going back to the doctor again today. i have to get more fluid drained out. im hoping this is the last time. my goal is to be able to train some light legs in the beginning of next week. i cant train anything until this swelling goes down. i can finally shower on my own, but putting on deodorant requires a little help from nicole. being helpless sucks. im definitely feeling much better today then i was monday, i just cant wait to be off the antibiotics. the antibiotics are messing my stomach up, making me tired, my joints feel weird and i've been very dehydrated. friday im done with them. im going down to see dave palumbo this weekend to map out a serious off season game plan. i cant wait, i love having a plan. im very anal about certain things, i never follow a workout routine, but i have to have a plan with everything else i do. dave is the man when it comes to programs and nutrition, he is the only guy i listen to. if i cant figure something out, i know dave can. all right, its time for me to get moving, wish me luck at the doctor!

Tuesday, October 16, 2007

oct 16

whats up everybody. its been exactly 1 week since my surgery. i feel like its been a month. i want to get back in the gym so bad i cant stand it! i had to get some more blood drained out yesterday, but it wasnt to bad because i took some vicodin before i got to the doctor. the doctor said im healing great, im hoping to be able to be back in the gym in a week. nicole has taken great care of me, and i thank her so much, i hate not being able to do things for my self. i feel so small, i have lost a little weight, but when i get back in the gym im gonna blow up! btw- now u can get to species.com right from my myspace page(the real one, not philip the impostor)! keep sending me emails, you guys are helping me get through this tough period. help me put my brain to work! thats all for today, ill be back tomorrow.

Monday, October 15, 2007

oct 15

happy monday everyone. im getting ready to go back to the doctor and see how my recovery is coming! wish me luck! yesterday i came across a guy on myspace who is using my pics on his page. this guy is pretending to be me. its crazy, the guy even goes by the name philip. when i confronted him about it, he had the nerve to tell me i should be flattered! this guy has like 300 friends that all think they know me! so, i started sending all his friends messages that this guy is am impostor and to delete him from there page. people started contacting me like crazy saying they had been friends with this maniac for a year. now the guy is totally pissed because he is loosing friends to the real me(there can only be 1,LOL)! so he sends me a message saying he is going to make 5 more pages about me saying all really nasty things that i refuse to repeat! what did i ever do? if anyone knows how to put an end to this, please send me an email. I was fortunate enough to make a good friend through this whole crazy ordeal, her name is Kristie. Kristie is a national level figure competitor from down south(southern people are way more friendly than people from the north east). Kristie sent messages to everyone saying that philip is an impostor, she had been friends with this looser for a year now. this guy is pathetic, and now he is loosing all his conned friends thanks to Kristie! if anyone else comes across any pages that have pics of me on myspace, please send me an email. thanks for everything! to all the people i met yesterday who thought they knew me, im sorry that you all had to go through that, but your gonna think they real me is way cooler! ill talk to ya all tomorrow!

Sunday, October 14, 2007

oct 14

whats going on everyone. its sunday, my day for total relaxation and football! not that i need relaxation at this point, its been 5 days that i have been stuck immobilized in the house. i really cant wait to get back in the gym. hopefully in about 9 days or so i can start moving some light weight. i am very independent and having to rely on others for things is not my style. there's alot i cant do right now and i feel a bit helpless at times. for a guy like me, this can be very depressing. i am very fortunate to have nurse nicole here to take care of me! she is the best, i dont know what id do without her. last might she made some awesome beef stew, im trying to keep the food coming in so i dont shrink to much! my appetite is down a bit, but i have been getting at least 3 ISOLYZE shakes in a day. ISOLYZE is very convenient for me, it doesnt bloat me at all, so even though my appetite is down i can still get the high quality protein i need! if anyone is interested in trying ISOLYZE, just go to speciesnutrition.com. tomorrow i go back to the doctor to see if i need to have anymore blood drained! keep your fingers crossed for me, because i do not want to do that again!. have a great sunday, ill be back tomorrow.

SHOUT OUT!!!

I WANNA GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO MY MAN STEVE PERRY! THANKS FOR FIXING UP MY CAR BRO!!!!

oct 13

good morning everybody! not alot to say today. im trapped in the house with nothing to do but eat, sleep, watch tv, or search the Internet. im really bored! at least i have the kitty to keep me company, he's very entertaining. i have to try to take it as easy as possible so my swelling doesnt come back. so far i think the swelling seems to be staying down, but i have the whole weekend to go. i am aloud to take showers again(thank god) but i need some help from nurse nicole. sitting around for 3 days without a shower had me smelling pretty ripe! im a clean freak when it comes to my body, i shower twice a day always, so going that long without one had me feeling disgusting! btw- you can still vote for nicole in the hot body contest at iforcenutrition.com, you may vote as many times as u like. thats all i got for today, i hope your all doing well! please send me emails on what u would like to see in the members gallery, i love your input!

surgery update

i am not making this up! today i went to the doctor for my post-op. i figured i would be in and out in 5 minn. now, i am swollen from the surgery, but i figured that was common! for those of u who may have thought my blogs have been a bit boring lately...sit down! i take off my shirt and the doctor goes uh-oh! just what u want to hear from your surgeon! my right peck is like three times the size of normal. he says i have a large hematoma(basically a pool of blood under the skin) and it has to be drained. so the doctor takes a huge needle and makes a bunch of holes around my nipple. then if that wasnt bad enough, he proceeds to squeeze the hell out of my chest! blood was squirting out all over the place! im like, "oh shit, that really hurts doc" but he said it had to be done or i could get a bad infection! this went on for about 10 minn! when it was all over i was ready to puke. whats worse is that the doctor said its very common for bodybuilders to get hematomas multiple times, so now i have to go back on monday to have it possibly done again! just how i want to start my week. now im on antibiotics to prevent some kind of infection. so, i hope you all have a great weekend! talk to ya all soon!

oct 12

whats up everybody, its friday, i go for my post- op today. i finally broke down last night and got myself in the shower. at like midnight i got out of bed, rapped the dressings in plastic and taped it up with scotch tape, and jumped into the shower. i was so smelly and greasy i couldnt take it anymore, i had crusty blood around my stitches, i couldnt take it any more. the plastic and tape diddnt really do the trick and the dressings got a little wet. i figured the doctor will change them today anyway. it felt alot better to be somewhat clean. im so bored allready, im used to being out and about all the time, i feel like im trapped in the house, i feel skinny all ready from not training. hopefully im back in the gym in 2 weeks. keep sending me emails, ask as many questions as u want, it keeps me sane to help you guys out. reminder to everyone, the voting for the hot bod contest is still going on, please vote for my girl nicole. nicole is on page 6 #83, the voting goes on till the end of the month. the winner gets 500 dollars and a photo shoot. also dont forget to check me out at speciesnutrition.com, check out the great products they have to offer! members, i have tons more updates coming so stay tuned! have a great day everyone!

hey everybody, its thursday morning. 2 days after my surgery. im so bored all ready, plus i cant get comfortable because of the pain. i go back to the doctor tomorrow for my post-op check up. im really swollen! i cant wait to get back into the gym. i feel so dirty because im not aloud to bath until the doctor gives me permission, i need a good hot shower bad! i have a new member to my household, his name is kitty. yesterday nicole brought him home from a shelter, he is only 3 months old! kitty was abandoned with about 60 other kittens in a crate in mt. vernon, ny. he is very timid around people right now, hopefully he will realize we dont want to harm him. kitty has been keeping me company since im trapped in the house. any way, i discovered something i think u should all try. i take my vanilla ISOLYZE and mix it with various different flavors of crystal lite! its delicious, u can come up with some crazy flavors that u would never be able to get at a gnc or health food store! another great idea is to mix some sugar free metamucil in with the vanilla ISOLYZE, it tastes just like an orange creamsicle! try them out, i bet you'll love it. thats all for today, i have more updates coming to the members area so stay tuned!

hey everybody, let me start off by saying im sorry for not blogging out in vegas, i had a problem hooking up my computer and was unable to use it. i dont even no where to start, but, the olympia was an amazing experience filled with highs and lows! thursday we flew out of jfk, which is the worst, most confusing, inconvenient airport i have ever flown out of. o.k., the first nite i met one of the barbarian brothers, peter. he is absolutely out of his mind and believes he has healing powers, he also smells like he hasn't showered since the 80's. he calls himself the knight of the light, hilarious. friday morning i was up by 7 to go to the gym. nicole, billy guns, colette nelson and myself all trained at the golds gym on flamingo ave, a really nice gym, lots of great equipment. friday i went to the olympia expo all day. the expo is insane, every sport company u can think of sets up a booth and promotes there products with the best bodybuilders and the hottest fit women. there were thousands of people in and out all day long. friday nite i ate dinner with nicole for her birthday at delmonacos, a restaurant owned by emeril lagasse. we had a nice dinner and then we hit the strip for a while. nicole and i played a little roulette, she did not know how to play so i told her to just pick red or black for me, we wound up walking away with an extra 160 bucks. saturday i was up early again to train arms with colette nelson at golds. miss olympia iris kyle was there doing a photo shoot, she looked incredible. bill comstock was there doing a video of eric fankanhauser, the guy who won the north americans. his legs are out of this world, biggest calves ive ever seen, but his upper ody is way behind the pro level. went to the expo again on sat to help out the muscular development crew at the alr booth. mr g, md's hype man had the crowd going nuts as the crew was tossing out t-shirts to spectators. there was a battle of the forums between getbig.com and md. get big's rep vince(this dude who looked like a fat steve erkil) posed down against md's billy guns. billy guns blew him away and won 1500 dollars worth of supplements from alr! the finals for the olympia srarted at 7. my seats were terrible but i really diddnt care, just being there was a dream come true! the end result was controversial to say the least. jay cutler was way off, and victor martinez had what it took to beet him. the crowd was pissed at jays victory. ronny coleman fell to 4th in his final olympia as a competitor. i will never forget his farewell speech, the crowd gave him a standing ovation. ronnie coleman is a true champion who inspired me and thousands of others, its sad to see him go! the most exciting competitor to see by far was dennis wolf, this guy, at only 28, battled it out with jay cutler in the posedown, he either matched him or beat him in every pose. wolf was by far the crowd favorite. after the olypia i went out to dinner with nicole, dave palumbo, collete nelson, billy guns, mr g, and his brother bobby. then it was on to victor martinez's after party! the party was at pure nite club, everyone was there, i pretended i was with the press and cut the whole line, haha, lol! steve blechman, the ceo of musculardevelopment was there, hes a nice guy, he told me to do the junior nationals, so it looks like that will be the game plan! dorian yates was there, troy alves, gerard dente, the ceo of mhp, lots of other pros and top amatures. the problem was that it was so over crowded that u couldnt even move! after about 30 minn i left. i wound up chillin in this lounge till about 4am mith md's john romano. we had a much better time in the lounge. over all vegas is an awesome place, u can eat at the most amazing buffets and see some really spectacular sites. getting a taxi is a major pain in the ass, and i wasted a lot of money traveling out there. there is something for eveyone in vegas, a great place to visit.
