I was finishing off my workout and wanted to finish with some bodybuilding work…. POWER-Bodybuilding, that is. HEAVY stuff that most Jersey Shore fans would be lifting light and easy, watching themselves in the mirrors and making sure the hair looks good and the sun glasses don’t fog up in between text messaging and 5 minute rest periods :)

For me, the transformation is ON, time to get rid of the BIG hair and attack the weights, I see no NO other way to attack.

Side raises don’t need to be performed with dumbbells only like some pretty boy bodybuilder. Instead, I used chains and the thick handled Rolling Thunder.

Heavy lifting is what you need you need to eat, lift and mix with your morning coffee. You dig?

The BEASTS of The Golden Era didn’t mess around, hard work on the basics was the gist, and they were Power-Bodybuilders, BEASTS of the gym that we simply don’t see nowadays :(

For the gun show it was more chains, cheat curls with a slooooow negative and the JM press on the floor coupled with close grip pressing. BOTH are great for pumping out the GUN SHOW but also, for improving all your upper body strength lifts.

You NEED strong friggin’ arms to help your bench press, military press as well as helping your critical bodyweight movements such as dips, chins, rope climbs, handstand push ups and more.

Don’t be afraid to crank the gun show AFTER you cranked your efforts on the heavy basics.

Remember, if you wanna eat your dessert, you gotta eat your steak and potatoes FIRST…. NO excuses.

Peace!

Training partners that are tough, dedicated and passionate are like needles in a hay stack.

I once fired a PRO Bodybuilder from being my training partner!

He was lazy, always had an excuse, everyone carried him, babied him and he was a mental basket case!

You need Gladiators for training partners, people who don’t fear the pain, the sweat and the guts to kill it.

I train alone, but here and there, a beast walks through the doors and brings extra energy to the table.

This is part two from one of those days :)

 

“Heavier, Heavier…..”

There is more to come from the footage above! Stay tuned & if you like this Blog, spread the word, I would love that!

Gotta love training partners who wanna kill it!

Tell me about your best training partner and the craziest workouts you ever had by posting your comments below…I can’t wait to read them!

Kill it!

Wow, on my birthday, an old friend and a BEAST, Johnny Wasiscko stopped by the gym to say Happy B Day. I asked him what’s new & he said preppin’ for strongman comps and the Arnold Grip Contest….

It was the day before the Lost Secrets of Strength Development, so, I said sh*t, let’s train and kill it w/a grip contest.

This got wild and we really got carried away breaking all the rules and doing everything that made NO sense at all! These are the best and funnest workouts!

Enjoy and post your comments below!

 

I’ve said it a million times before…
