I’d been doing so many high intensity workouts with the trainers lately that I hadn’t had a chance to try out a lot of the great equipment here at Gold’s. Back is something I really enjoy training and I really try to make the most of the opportunity.
There are some great hammer strength machines at Gold’s Venice and these are what I try to take advantage of. We have a few of these that I use back home and there are a few that I don’t have access to – namely a wide grip hammer pull down and hammer low rows (reverse or regular grip).

Leg training is never easy. Sure there are those people that say they love training legs. That may be so but somehow I can’t quite understand it. Training your legs is painful, often overloads your respiratory system leaving you gasping for air, not to mention the feelings of nausea which more often than not accompanies it. What I do understand, and I sometimes think these people are actually referring to is the feeling of euphoria and accomplishment following completion of a solid session of legs. Nonetheless, training quads and hamstrings with Ofer Samra has left me hobbling around in the days following our workout… in a good way.

I made my way into the gym at 9:40 am to warm up and get ready for my triceps training session with Ofer Samra at 10 am. Ofer was featured together with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie True Lies. To my surprise Ofer was standing there with our photographer Bill.
When I approached them I found out that it was in fact 10:40 am because daylight saving had just begun. Neither myself nor Bill had realized this (especially because I am from Australia) so of course we had to reschedule the training session until the afternoon at 3 pm.
Following is what is currently know about the new Men's Physique division. What is important to note is that now is the time to get in and set the bar. Instead of guessing what the judges are looking for get into the game and bring the physique you want to see be representative of the title "Men's Physique." It is not everyday that and athlete can define a sport. This is the time to make it happen with this new division. Now is not the time to worry about winning the trophy..now is the time to DEFINE the trophy!
According to the NPC:
"New Men’s Physique Division
Beginning in 2011 a new division for men will be introduced – Men’s Physique. The following are the guidelines/rules.
When asked his thoughts on this new division he said, "This division has opened another door to allow opportunity. From the one show I have done I see that the knowledge of differentiating body builders from physique is vague. Take my body type for example; I am 5'11 “off-season” 195lbs 6-8% body fat. Competition I am 3-5% body fat and around 185lbs. This would place me in a category of Light Heavyweight. In that class I would be no competition at all. My cousin competes at 198lbs and currently in his “off-season” he is 5'7 245lbs."

The Giacomin twins, Andrew and Louie, are dedicated to the house of iron. Upon meeting them there was no doubt of their work ethic in the gym. Today’s workout focus is with Andrew. We are going to blast the shoulders. Andrew Giacomin is ready for any training challenge. Here is a young man that will make his mark in the Physique Division if he sets his mind to it. He is 19 years old and has the muscle maturity and balance of a man 6 years his senior. He really got into training about 4 years ago when a lot of his football playing classmates started hitting the gym. Though he was not on the gridiron like his brother, Andrew was instead on the field as a Lacrosse player.
The training I usually do for most body parts is very high volume training. It was working so far but today a trainer showed me something different that I want to share with you all. That trainer was Jerome “Hollywood” Ferguson and today we trained upper back.

Get ready to blow your biceps up as Greg Plitt, America's Top Fitness Model, takes you through his Bicep Blowout Workout in this new 40 minute instructional workout video available only at GregPlitt.com. This intense, superset workout builds the mass of the entire bicep, including the peaks, guaranteeing that your shirt sleeves will stretch a little bit more when you're finished.
Chest was the first abuse of the day. I will share the details as soon as possible. That workout will have full professional pics and video at www.MensPhysique.com. The second workout of the day today was an old school back workout. Because my legs were screaming from yesterdays Leg Workout I passed on the Deadlifts and moved right on to the classic Barbell Row. Today was about mass on the lats and rhomboids. Lately I have found myself in a lower rep range 8-10 instead of my typical 15 reps. The intensity has been through the roof! I have been continuing using Sci-Fit Dark Energy which helps fuel the intensity! www.scifitauthentic.com If you’re ready for a hardcore back blast print this off, take it to the gym and do it!
