Another good week of training so far. Blasted legs on Monday and chest on Tuesday. Yesterday I did nothing for 90% percent of the day, but I needed the rest. Today I will be training back. I cant make it up to Montanari bros today, so I'm a little bummed! Hopefully my streak of good workouts isn't broken. I will let you all know...

Last weeks training was the best I have had in quite a while. Tuesday I blasted some big weights on chest day. Thursday, I went up to Montanari Bros golds to train with the CT bodybuilding crew. My back was throbbing by the time I was done. Friday I was back up at Montanari bros again for shoulders and hams. I trained with Chris Tuttle, along side big Evan and Keith. I dont know what came over me, but I was able to hammer strength shoulder press 4 plates a side for 5 strict reps. I have never gone over 3 and a quarter. Saturday I was down in the Bronx to train for the first time at Star Fitness. I had a great workout. Hopefully I can keep it going this week!
Currently I have been sitting around 275 for a while now, but I seem to be looking a bit harder.

Get Well Soon

My girlfriends brother and my friend, Chris Vitale has been hospitalized for a week now. He has an Awesome wife and two adorable young sons. If I could ask all my fans and friends to please say a prayer or send a positive thought to him and his family it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you all very much!

Yesterday I was at NYSC in Danbury for quads. Not my normal leg day gym, but the change wound out working out great! I had a great workout and I was feeling pretty strong. I needed that after missing a week and then going half assed all last week.
For some reason, I was not able to fall asleep last night. Fortunately I did not have to be up for anything today, but I found myself laying in bed wide a wake past 5 this morning. I finally dozed off till about 7:30, manged to force my self back to sleep until about 8:45 and then back to sleep again till around 10:15 when I decided to get up. I feel a bit out of it today, hopefully I can get to sleep early tonight!

Yesterday was the worst my stomach has been yet. I had some yogurt and started taking some acidophulis. Damn antibiotics. Went to the gym to train arms. It was a crappy workout. I was feeling dehydrated and I couldn't get a pump. Next week I will be going at it full speed again and hopefully I can report some nasty workouts.
Valentines day was great for Nicole and I. We had such a nice dinner and stuffed ourselves with great food. Ripe is a great restaurant and I encourage you to try it out if your in the NY/CT area!

I know its been a while, but I was very sick and really didn't have much to say. So, I'll make this blog nice and long so we can all get caught up. Feb 6, was my birthday and I spent it in bed sick,lol, but I also got on some much needed antibiotics that day and am feeling much better now. I was so sick, that I couldn't train last week, I was miserable. The antibiotics are definitely doing a number on my stomach, but I am doing my best to keep all my meals in and haven't lost any weight. I started working out again on monday, but I'm only going about 75% for the rest of the week.
