First getbig had rumors of me having a hockey injury....i never played hockey in my life.
Then you hear about my partial tearing of my left bicep tendon....TRUE
Everyone saw me and Rhino going at it last week......thats over, we made up.
I approached Wayne on my own back in January, and we met at the Arnold Classic to talk about his plans for the PDI.
I loved what he had to say, I was all for this new venture.
I even had lunch with Vince Taylor at the Arnold, and Vince had an excitement to his voice about the whole thing.
I then talked to Jim Manion and Steve Weinberger about me turning 40 soon, and trying something new....I wanted to talk to them in person.
The last couple of months I had a bad feeling about what I was going to do, I could not put my finger on it, and was unsure of my decision.
After the PDI Florida and Vegas Pro qualifiers had been canceled, and then learning the Spain portion of the European contest was canceled, I was getting nervous.
I have been in bodybuilding and traveling around the world since 93, so I called old friends that are involved in bodybuilding overseas and nobody could tell me any info on any PDI show in Hungry, Slovakia or England....now I was really nervous.
Wayne emailed me and Jack about going on PDI radio last week to air out our differences because the fans wanted to hearing from us...or something like that.
I didn't like that idea.....and would have no part of "he said she said stuff"
Now I was kinda glad I injured my bicep....as Dave Palumbo said to me.....a blessing in disguise.
I could be totally wrong about my gut feeling, and I wish everyone in the PDI well....but I don't know if it is really for me.
The NPC has been my home since the first time I stepped on stage in 84, winning the teen Jersey Cup.
Right now I'm training very light, training around the bicep....the swelling is gone and I have full range of motion....the only thing that really hurts the arm is trying to stabilize a dumbell or barbell....I have to stick with machines for a while.
LOOK FOR ME AT THE NPC MASTERS NATIONALS NEXT YEAR.....OR MAYBE SOONER......HMMMMMMM.... .LOL
I'll let you guys pick that one apart.....LOL
