Welcome back muscle maniacs!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I know I did. I had the pleasure of spending it with my girls’ family in sunny Palm Springs, CA. I still can’t get used to the weather out here (originally from Ayer, Mass.) during the holidays, but I’m not complaining – lol!
OK, lets see what’s going on around here. Well – lets start with some great AMS news. First up, we are proud to say AMS HD TV ss up and running:

You will also see promos of our supplements and various appearances we venture out to.
Other news, I’ve been told there is a new anabolic kit coming out very soon , I’m under locked lip to say anymore but we here at AMS are excited to launch this new kit . Soon as I know more I’ll get you guys the 411 on this new supplement bundle!
Now lets talk some muscle!
Ok, this time of the year to me is make or break for the bodybuilder trying to take it to the next level. From thanksgiving to the new year is roughly 5 weeks. I see a lot of athletes less and less in the gym, and more excuses why. These are valuable weeks you need in your off-season to make the changes to move up the ladder in the upcoming season or for a better ”YOU” in 2011. The more you fall off the wagon, the more behind you fall for 2011. Be a little more disciplined around the holiday meals. I’m not saying don’t have mom’s X-mas dinner, but make sure you get in the right amount of meals that day as well as the proper ratios. One meal won’t kill you but a whole day or two makes it harder to get back on track for sure.
Training wise, schedule a few days off around each holiday but make sure you are hitting it on the days you are supposed to. The days before the holidays and after get right back on the saddle ASAP, otherwise the hill gets higher and harder to get back onto.
With 2011 coming soon, I’ve been slowly planning out my year. Last year I took off from competing for the first time in 6 years. It was much needed. My training business boomed as I put more focus into it and had the energy to do the little things that can make or break you in the business world. With the break I was able to train heavier for longer periods, take off more scheduled days to just ”Rest My Body & Brain”. People don’t realize the mental drain contest prep can be. I put 100% into each show, and it def. took its toll in 08, 09. So I had a break and made the most of my year off. Now, I’m BACK! I have a great sponsor, who has my back 100%, great training partner (619 Muscle owner) Pete Ciccone:

I’ve followed this guys’ nutrition ideas for almost 10 yrs. I contacted him late in August to ask if I could hire him for 2011 prep. LOL! Well I had to wait from Nov. 1st ’til the year was over for him with his other “already committed” athletes. So from that point on I emailed him every 2 weeks letting him know how serious I was . Come Nov. 1st, he contacted me and was going to say no, due to being so tired from the 2010 season (which was very understandable – he kicked ass with his athletes). He then sent another email and told me my consistency was something he admired in athletes and he let me hire him.. I’m sooo pumped to have him as my ”EYE”. He has an incredible eye for changing the body and knowing just what to do. I just want to do him and the rest of my team proud!
So, what show am I doing you may now wonder? Well, we are starting off with the Dallas/Europa Pro – Aug, 12-13, followed by the Phoenix Pro 2 weeks later on Aug 27th. I’m not going to make any predictions except I’ll bring a much better package then in the past and hopefully it will be my best ever!
Until then I’ll be busting my ass in the gym, making videos and keeping you up to date on the “Freak Fixx” Blog. If you have any questions hit me up @
[email protected] and I’ll try to answer it here for you.
OK, Its time for me to go back to work… more pics and videos coming. Thanx for all the support! I def. appreciate it .
