I apologize for not blogging the past few days. I crashed my computer and it has been hell trying to straiten every thing out! Just to give a brief recap of whats going on, I hurt my back squatting on monday, I am going today to get some treatment. This has been an injury filled off season for me, but I keep trucking forward. Yesterday I went down to Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym in Long Island so Nicole could get Looked at by Steve Wineberger and get an assessment. Everything went well, I had a great workout and Saw fellow Species Athlete Eugine Mishin, who was looking big and shredded. Eugine is doing the NY Pro, and he should definitely turn some heads! Thats all for now, I promise I will be back in action as soon as I get my computer fixed!

I had a great back workout yesterday. I think that the Barbell rows, underhand-Dorian Yates style are really working for me. I can work up to 315 for 8 with pretty good form. I don't want to get sloppy and jerk the weight around, that's how you tear a bicep! Today is my shoulders, hams, calves and abs. I am really trying to focus on bringing out the thickness of my hams! Tonite I believe I am going to the Outback Steak house, I haven't been in a couple weeks, so I'm looking forward to it!

Good chest work out on tuesday. I went up to 85lb dumbbells for incline flys and then I went to my incline Barbell presses. I lost 2 reps on each set compared to when I start with the press fresh. Yesterday I went to Dr. Mike to get alot of work done(elbow, shoulder, back and knees) I was pretty beat up by the time I left, but today I feel much better. Today I have back and I hope to continue my streak of great back workouts!

Absolutely killed my quads yesterday. Squats, 4 heavy sets of 8, 6, 6, 6, ( I cant go quite as heavy as I want because my Knees still hurt pretty bad) Leg press, 3 sets of 40, 30, 20 reps. Hack Squats, 3 sets of 25, 20, 20. Single leg- leg extensions, 3 sets of 20, 20, 40 reps. Abduction and Adduction machine 3 sets each of 15. All those reps had me ready to puke. My legs better be growing after all that. Today is chest, I plan on doing a little pre exhaust method, before my heavy pressing, just to switch things up a bit. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow!

Weekend Recap

I have to start out with a huge CONGRATULATIONS to my client and friend Michelle Wynn. Michelle competed at the 2008 INBF NORTH EAST AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS down in Matawan NJ, yesterday. Michelle Took first in the masters figure and 2nd in the open. Michelle is one of the hardest workers I have ever met and she deserves the recognition she got over the weekend!

Friday I went up to see the Montanari Bros at Golds in New Haven. I hung around with Jerry,(one of the brothers that own the gym) for a while and then blasted shoulders. I have yet to have a bad workout in that gym! Saturday I went to NYSC in Danbury to train arms, and I have to be honest, I didn't have the greatest workout. I got distracted a few times by people wanting to ask me questions, and never really got a good rhythm going. Last nite my boy Jay and his Fiance Kristen came over and we watched the UFC fights. I was very excited that my boy G.S.P. DOMINATED Matt Serra! The fights were exciting and we had a good time. Today I'm just relaxing, and then its Big Quads on monday!

I have had a great week of training so far. Quads went well on monday, very good chest workout tuesday. Wed I got treatment from Dr. mike, and thursday I really blasted my back. Thickness is definitely not an issue for me, so width is the main focus!. I start with heavy barbell rows underhand Dorian Yates style, then I move on to a couple of my secret weapons that Dr Mike and I decided on, I cant give away Dr. Mikes secrets, but I will say my back is getting wider! Finally I finish up with Lat pull downs to the front and a variety of different finishing moves depending on the mood I'm In. I am down a bit in weight, 263, but I still think I can Hit 270 by June first when I start dieting!

Awesome quad workout yesterday. Squats, Hack Squats, Single leg- Leg Press, Single Leg- Leg extensions and abduction/adduction work. I have to thank Dr. mike for showing me a better way to wrap my knees on Heavy squats, once again Dr. Mike saves the day! Today Is chest, I am planning on Doing heavy Incline barbell as well as heavy Flat, After that, some dips and flys. My progress is coming along rather nice and in about 7 weeks I will be dieting. I hope to try to put on a little more size before I rip everything up!
