My old and dear friend Dennis Newman has turned 37 years old, and is back living in his home town of Salinas, California, after 8 years in LA and the last 6 in Las Vegas, he wanted to slow down and start a new life in his old stomping grounds, where him and I started are lifting careers 20 years ago (OK, me 25 years ago!!!)
Dennis was 17 and I was 25 when we started training together and competing together, until he left Salinas for the "big time " when he was 23 years old. 2 years later he was the biggest thing to hit the BB scene in years and won the 1994 USA championships over my mentor and best friend and our very own Phil Hernon (1995 USA champ)
and Craig Titus (1996 USA champ) . From there the rest is history and im sure we all have our own memories of that period, Anyway out of the blue to me he showed up on T-Muscle 's Gym doorstep a week ago, and looks great and IMO is doing wonderful and sounds great also, with typical Dennis style "Having fun always " its great to see him smile and doing well, him and his gracious mother and myself had wonderful visit, and the outcome is he has joined my staff of one, ME !! in my training facility and we will be starting many projects together,
all in the idea stage's still, but today will be our first training session together in 13 years and he will be exclusively training clients from my Gym, Im so excited and thrilled to have this great athlete on staff, but mostly happy about having my friend back , is how i look at it and feel .. he does have several athletes he is preparing for shows etc. via e-mail and im sure would be a great help and source of info for ANY one wanting his expertise , i will get a contact email for him posted later but for now you can email both of us at my e-mail [email protected] if anyone wants to contact him .. anyway just thought i would share .....
God Bless You ALL and Happy New Year.
