I guess I’m getting my strength back a bit because this felt like a fairly strong training session. One mistake a lot of new lifters and even some experienced lifters make is they always expect to be 100% in the gym and if there is any variance in their strength the assumption is made that "something is wrong." In reality, your body sometimes just isn’t up to the challenge and could probably use a break. I guess my body has had enough of a break because now it’s responding greatly and I can really push myself. However, this was after an about a 5 week rest period following my last bodybuilding show.
I’m hoping tomorrow I can get a training session in with Flex Lewis and Mark Alvisi tomorrow. They are flying in for a training seminar Rich Gaspari is holding at Appolon Gym in New Jersey on Saturday. Tomorrow we’ll be shooting some various footage and getting a feel for the gym we are expecting a few hundred bodybuilding enthusiasts to jam into. It’s going to be interesting to say the least because this is the first seminar of this kind Gaspari Nutrition has ever hosted.
