OK,this one is gonna hurt to type but I`ll be brutally honest as usual.
I was doing some extra heavy drinking at one time...............you wake up and grab a coffee,I wake up and grab a bottle of Mr. Boston cheap vodka.
At this stage in my life I honestly didn`t care if I woke up or not in the morning..........it was a nightmarish existance for me.
I have been pronounced dead on 3 different occasions so I`m not joking............totall
y drunk and high 24/7.
One thing about me when I drank heavy was that I always had the presence of mind to realize that I had to stop or I would end up dead,in a nuthouse,or in prison.........some people don`t.
Well the time had come to stop so what I would do instead of going to the regular gym,was to go to Springfield College to work out so no one would see my pitiful fucking ass.
The only drawback to this was that my friends Artie Prince,Jeff King,and Chris Aceto all attended Springfield College.
I looked like shit and was weaker than a kitten.............all that I worked so hard for was gone.................ZIP
PO ,NADA,Fagetaboutit !!
When I hit these low points drinking,I always would go back to the gym as I found solace there.....it was one of the few things that I truly loved to do.
I was never in denial about my alcoholism.,I was training at the college gym and Aceto was running the place and saw me get buried under a 225 pound squat..................h
umiliating to say the least.
I decided to swallow my pride and go back to Big Daddys Gym which was the number one gym in the east 2 years in a row as far as for contest winners.
We had 3-4 AAU Mr. America contestants,3-4teen America contestants,3 world arm wrestling champions,a Mr. World finisher,an da host of local and regional as well as national contestants both men and women...................
.PLUS ONE DRUNKEN FOOL NAMELY ME !!
When I got there I distinctly remembering doing 95 pounds on the bench for a hardass shaky 8 reps...........I was out of it.
I asked around to see if anyone would train with me..........I always trained harder than anyone else I ever saw........I may not have been using their heavier poundages but pound for pound I was a fucking animal in the gym...................li
ke I said,I love training and hard training was all I would do.................nothi
ng less would seem right...............it would seem halfassed to me.
Well mos tof the guys I asked looked at me while I was "training" and I knew that they were saying shit like damn did you see wes,he looks like a fucking zombie.
I got no takers..................
...seemed like everyone had given up on me just like I had given up on me.
My buddy Eddie Demars was a former boxer and told me that the was gonna train for the Mr. Baystate which would be held in conjunction with the local show the inaugural Mr. Springfield.
Ed said he`d train with me but I had to stick to it........I told him I was gonna train him righjt into the fucking ground.
We got busy....................
...busting our asses off on the daily.
My bench of 95 for 8 was now a 300 pound max at a bodyweight of 150............double bodyweight bench baby I felt Like I was back.
Eddie told me I should enter the Mr Springfield.........I figured fuck it so I got my 2 twin cousins training with us also they were gona enter the teen divisions.
We trained like a well oiled fucking machine..............you
go.igo.you go.I go.etc. no rest with 4 guys training it was the ideal rest time for us between sets..
We would actually gather crowds on leg days and I`ll never forget this one cat who was always walking around with this fucking broomstick doing twists all the while trying to score some pussy.
WE were squatting 315 for around 8 reps...........me and my cousins all weighed around 150 and Eddie weighed around 225.
My cousin Johnny go t8 reps with the 315 and Mr, Broomstick looked at him like fuck you I can do that if you can.
He walked up to the bar,walked it back and got instantly buried,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hilarious pompous pussy.
I did 405 for a max that day for the first time in my life....................
..I went around telling everyone hey,I squatted 405 today................the
y asked how many reps I got................. I said ONE WTF shit felt tlike a bus on my back. lol
