While working with the trainers at Gold’s Venice, I have generally been in the position to choose which body part the trainer helps me with. The trainers have also been taking the role of an instructor, showing and telling me what to do. Training arms with pro trainer Eric Di Lauro and IFBB pro Hidetada Yamagishi was a whole different ball game.
This time I still had some instruction from Eric but I was training with them rather than being trained by them. It was me who had to keep up with these legendary guys. Fortunately we were training our arms which is one of my strongest body parts.

On the 26th of March we witnessed the first Men’s Physique division to be held in Culver City, California. I competed in the show and was surprised to see so many men keen to compete in this all-new division of the NPC. Going in to the show one of the things that seemed to be on everyone’s mind was that since Men’s Physique is so new and the criteria were so vague, we really didn’t know what to expect. I think even the judges were the same, admitting that they hadn’t quite figured out yet what they were looking for. This would be the first chance for Californians to set the standard for what would evolve into Men’s Physique in the future. Since I was up close and in the mix I will give you my perspective of how things went down on the day.

Once again it was time for leg training this morning. Last night I received an email from Bill our photographer, informing me we were training at 10 am. I assumed I was training with Ofer Samra again. Turns out he deliberately wasn’t specific about the trainer in the email because he wanted to scare me (as our previous leg training session was brutal). So when Bill told me it was Jerome Ferguson I was somewhat relieved. Not that Jerome went easy on me.
Jerome came in with a suggestion for our leg training. He thought that since this was all about Men’s Physique we should do a “fitness” style workout for legs. This was going to entail a regular leg training session with moderate weights, body weight and cardio style exercises and little to no rest periods.
