Vinny, what was your training like when you were preparing for your pro card win?
Maybe could you give an example of chest workout with weights,reps etc

during the prep for the masters nationals, i had a training partner only on leg day.

training alone sucked. my weights were not impressive...i went more for feel and a pump.

who cares vin,u looked great and joints probably thanked u with the bells paulsy yr before.u said now u fell great and full with hit training,looking foward to see look from this training.when u won masters bro u were skinned ,maybe less fuller than past yrs at lighthevy but considering i think u really nailed it,yr before when u didn't fell best u looked fuller but not as sharp as with your winning look .props both yrs tho cause your physique is an inspiration.

I realize I am all late with myself, but wanted to say congrats on your pro status, much deserved. Always good to see more guys with a tiny waist a nice lines in the pro ranks.

Vinny, the craziest change in your physique since the 90's has been that incredible hamstring drop in the side poses.

what did you do to change that area ?

thanks !

believe it or not, i never really did any lunges, stiff legs,hypers, or deadlifts consistantly.

all those exercises are apart of my routine now for the past 4 years.

i hear all this talk that in your 40's it's hard to grow new muscle....busllshit i say.

COOL,get it done,conditioning will not be a problem.i really think your going to be a contender top 5 or so ,gut feeling.your history as far as conditioning and shape has been well cemented ,you have a pro look,and enough size for 202.
