Hey Vinnie,
Best of luck in whichever show or shows you decide on this year. I thought of you when I was in Jersey City the other day re our leg workouts back at Sonny's Gym.
Please send my regards to your lovely wife.
Harley

Vinny,

What is your take on the deadlift? Do you currently use this exercise in you routine? Did you use it in the past? Thanks in advance.

dave palumbo guides me with the diet, the zero carb / protein and fat combo work well on me.
i normally do a cheat day on sunday, not a cheat meal......but this past weekend it was just one cheat meal, a nice juicy cheese burger and fries.

all in all, my calories were lower and only did cardio about 3x a week.....i'm coming in bigger and fuller, and gained about 5lbs since the masters win last year.

i found that eating less, and not as much cardio worked better.

it shows,great job,u must feel real good about how it turned out,great run as amateur and now hitting a new stride towards a good pro,you were a pro anyway dude,now the card and this look prove it ,props and i would like to think a top 3 would not be out of the question.

duncanlukas · « **Reply #217 on:** May 10, 2009, 03:02:09 AM »

on your cheat day, what would you eat? Just whatever the whole day, or good carbs or what?

njflex · « **Reply #218 on:** May 16, 2009, 04:08:04 PM »

vinny great job at ny ,,,bro from the flex pics major dry out differencefrom pittsburgh,everything was lean and good seperation,better lighting to boot.that was a great 202 class i'd say as impressive as in terms of quality as the open,i hope u feel you did well,i'm not just being biased u looked like your national win very hard looking,it is what is now,pro's are tough ,all u guys deserved to be there.

looking at the picture from when i posed at the suburban a week out at 209, and the contest pic's and posing in the store still around 201....i just get too flat when trying to make the weight class -

i dont know if i should continue to try the 202 class and hope to keep my fullness, or just say fuck it and compete in the open.

go with your gut instinct,or tweak the diet a tad,if thats not the problem do the open,how do u feel or whats the goal if u choose the open class.i think u could do alright at 202 ,fullness is the factor all these other pics posted here u look awesome.nuff said.

Compete in the open.......Your fullness makes all the difference in the world!

16 years on the national level trained me to be at a fast pace with the free posing, and mandatory posing at the prejudging.
But in the IFBB i now see that everything is slower, very chill. you can take your time and enjoy the stage, i didnt realize it until both shows were over...lol

i was nervous and my adrenaline was at full tilt. i shot my load before i needed it...lol

i dont really think obtaining my pro card set in until i was eating a burger after the show. 16 years is a long time to go after a goal, and 10 months as a pro did not set in right away.

As far as the guys go.....Mark Dugdale is a class act, a very low key guy that minds his own business and is just chill.

Jason Arntz is very cool and very relaxed, he was asking me how i was doing...he knew i was nervous. our wives got along great too.

Ed carrera was way too serious.

i asked Dave Henry about how he trained and he took a lot of time explaining his training methods.

Jose Raymond was cool too, we talked alot and got along real good...i can see us being friends if we lived near each other.

There were a few guys that were quiet and to them selfs and did not want to be bothered....nothing wrong with that.

one guy in particular blew me right off and made it clear to stay away, it was def personal....if he reads this, he knows who he is. i get it...you dont think much of me....LOL

all in all the guys were mad cool....i walked away from it with a great experience.
