New Years Eve

Its been another hectic week, but the holidays are finally coming to a close. I had a solid week of workouts so far, but am feeling a bit run down from getting less off days and cramming in as many clients as I can. Looking forward to relaxing tomorrow!
Tonight, Nicole, myself and a bunch of my friends will be spending the night at Villa Barone in Mahopac, NY. I have never been there before, but I here its very nice. Of course it had to snow all day today and screw with everyone's plans, but that's new England weather for you.
Time to start getting ready. I hope you all have fun tonight, be safe! Happy New Year!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Its Sunday night and I am finally getting a chance to sit down and recap the hollidays. Monday and Tuesday were basically the same. I was up at 6 for clients, managed to get my workouts in around 4 and crammed in some late night Xmas shopping after my late clients in the gym. Wednesday was a tough day for me. I was up at 6 again, had a quick break for an hour between 11-12 that I used to train my back, then I had a couple more clients. I'm not complaining, work is work and this time of year I'll take all I can get. Mid afternoon I left to finish my last minn shopping and then raced home to shower. I left for my parents house around 6 and ate and partied with my family till close to midnight. I was falling asleep the whole time at my moms house, but I was having a fun time with my family and didnt want to leave. Christmas day I slept in and tried to catch up on my missing sleep! I went to the Bronx to spend Christmas with Nicole's family. Nicole's mom made my favorite... chicken parmesan! I pigged out and passed out!
Friday was the Montanari bros Christmas party for their gym members. The party was at Cafe Botega in New Haven. The night was a ton of fun and I got to hang with Big Evan and Kenny which is always a good time. I will be honest and say that I drank way too much Friday night and ended up feeling pretty sick. It had been a few years since I drank that much and I payed for it!

Saturday and Sunday...what can I say? Started out an a high note with a great night of UFC fights, but ended in the gutter with the JETS sucking as usual and missing the play offs. Hollywood couldn't have wrote a better story than Chad Pennington coming back to New York to kick the Jets ass and bounce them from the playoffs! Another disappointing year for all Jets fans!

Talk about snow!!! We got bombed in my part of CT yesterday with about a foot of snow. It was coming down over an inch an hour. Of course my crazy ass waited until it was already starting to get to the gym. Then I had to wait for my partner who was stuck in traffic to get there. Yesterday I had a great 4 man workout going on with my regular partner Ted and a couple of my other buddies, EDJ and Anthony. We were basically the only people in the gym blasting it out during the blizzard. I had a great workout, the 4 of us had a great pace going and it was fun because Ted and EDJ are very close in strength so I instigated a competition between them that had them both hitting personal bests in shoulder presses! When it was all said and done it took me two full hours to make the 20 minn drive home!!!
Its supposed to snow all weekend which is really slowing down my Christmas shopping that I haven't really started yet,lol.
Bodyweight is still around 260lbs give or take a few lbs here or there on certain days.

Went to Montanari bro's Golds in New Haven yesterday. Trained back. They have some really incredible machines up there. Lots of unique equipment that I haven't seen anywhere else. Big Ev was training with Chris Tuttle and my Boy Vincenzo was in the house looking pretty jacked too. After the workout we all sat around and BS'd for a while and then I went home to eat and relax. I have been getting up much earlier than usual lately to accommodate a couple clients, but I love what I do and have no complaints. Weight is still around 260 in the AM.

Check out my clients (Andrea and Jay) before and after pics in the training section of my website. I am very proud of there accomplishments, both completely changed the way they look. Andrea was a Figure competitor who want to make the transition into female bodybuilding, while Jay simply wanted to get himself in the best shape of his life. Jay actually looks like he could get on stage right now and Andrea did get on stage! Both were a pleasure to work with. I am always looking for now people to be before and afters on my website. Contact me if you want me to guide you to your goals!
My Training is going pretty well, working around some minor injuries as always,lol.

I am happy to announce that I am in the February issue of Musclemag which I believe is out in stores now. The section is in the back called CT Muscle and Myself and my good friend and posing coach Kenny Wallach are both featured. There are pictures of both of us on page 340.
Saturday I went to Strong and Shapely gym in New Jersey with Evan. I had a great workout and got to meet a lot of cool people. Greg Valentino was in the house making everyone laugh. Greg is a riot to be around, he definitely does not bite his tongue on any subject.
Today is my most Important day...LEGS! The Jets suck...I dont even want to discuss them right now. Morning body weight was 260. LOL, I dont have anything left to say, I'm too mad over the Jets!

Sunday I left my house for the Meadow lands at 11. I figured since it was a 4:15 game, that would give us more than enough time to get there. Rather than taking the George Washington Bridge, I opted for the Tappan Zee. What I did not know was that they were doing serious construction on the Tappan Zee to the point where there were huge pieces of metal just sticking out all over the place.That coupled with the Thanksgiving traffic made for a nightmare! It took me 3 full hours to get to the game. When we got to the game it was raining pretty hard but there were tons of people tailgating. The Jets really sucked bad and couldn't do anything right. We left towards the end of the third quarter. It was to cold and rainy to sit and watch them suck like that.
Yesterday was legs and I decided to officially split my workout into two separate days. One day is going to be dedicated to Quads and the other Hams. I squatted first, followed by 4 sets of heavy leg press and finally 5 sets of Leg extensions- doing drop sets on two of the sets. My legs were very pumped. Friday I will do Hams. Today is chest, I have been doing inclines for a while, but today I am going to do some flat bench and see how it goes.
New Before and After testimonials with pics will be on my site soon!
