I always appreciate your support and love

Thanks again guys I really appreciate all the support that you all give me and I know that you all are really happy for me you just aren't saying it to say it.

I am competing Saturday in the Florida State and I am going to try and talk to Frank before I hit the sack Friday night. He is really exceptional in the mental portion of bodybuilding and of his many interesting approaches to bodybuilding his night before and day off mental prep is very interesting. I am hoping he has the time that we can chat a little before so maybe he can help put me in the right frame of mind.

AELIOP,

Since you are talking to Frank, are you training like he suggests, and dieting like he instructs in his manuals? His ideas about splitting the training up into seasons is a little different as well as bringing up lagging bodyparts. Best of luck this Weekend.

Thank you

A lot of my training and diet theories come from what I have learned from many people throughout my years as well as things that I have discovered myself. I learned a lot from Phil Hernon and Iabadman, some things from a chiropracter in Orlando, as well as researching and reading the theories of Gironda and Rheo Blair.

Zane's seasons and lagging bodypart theories are probably 2 of his theories that I most believe in.

Tony if you had to pick a body part to improve more on which one would it be? And which one are you most proud of? (meaning you really dont have to work it, it comes naturally)

Since the end of my marriage and my relocation to North Florida a lot of really good things have been happening for me. Life has really gotten good for me and I appreciate that now more then ever. Well the latest great thing has happened to me.

Frank Zane, my Bodybuilding Idol and who in many ways who I have emulated my bodybuilder career after asked if I would write a 2 page article for the next installment of his magazine Building the Body. The theme is how I use a lot of "The Zane Principals" in preparing for not only a competition but my daily life. He is also going to include a picture spread on both of the pages. He picked the pictures though, I would of used the side triceps pose but he chose my most muscular. I couldn't really argue with Zane though....lol...What an honor this is for me. In my wildest dreams when I was first drawn to this sport could I ever imagined something like this happening.

I'm real glad to hear your success and happiness. You certainly have worked your way to your goals of having a similar physique to Frank Zane. I have always admired his as well. Great work!

Well I would like to improve my Penis because there is always room for improvement and I am very proud of it.....hahaha.....just kidding

The last few years I have worked really hard on my back (both detail and width), calves, and hamstrings. I think I have improved all of those, this year I am going to spend a little more attention to my chest. I think my quads are probably my most genetically gifted body part.

I like to think that as far as my physique goes the sum of the parts are much better then the parts themselves. I say this because if you took a tape measure to me I really have no desirable numbers. My arms are small and really my quads are really not that big. I try to just make all the parts tie in together.

haha......yes there was a story to that. You know for years Zane was a High School Teacher. I think he was mad because his fellow teachers were a little jealous and thought he got special treatment because of his bodybuilding fame. I think he had gotten really fed up, went to Europe, grew a beard and just kind of disapeared for awhile.

I once grew a beard a few years ago.
