Hi guys and gals,                                                                                                    07.06.08

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! I got to spend the holiday up in my hometown of Webster, MA with family so I was very happy.  My family means the world to me, but I don’t get to see them nearly enough. One nice story from the weekend was that the town couldn't afford to have fireworks this year (which is a huge annual tradition), so a local business owner donated $20K for the event. I thought that was awesome and served as a reminder that there are good things going on in the world today when it seems all we hear about in the news are the bad things. As a side note, thanks to Powerhouse Gym in Webster for letting me workout while in town.

Training is going very well even though I've been traveling, and although I haven't gained as much absolute weight as I've hoped for, I have definitely become leaner at the same weight, so that's a good thing. Slow but consistent progress is what wins the race.

If any of you missed it, I recently sat down with Dr. Martin Skopp, DC and we discussed a variety of topics revolving around the prevention and treatment of muscular injuries and rehabilitation. You'll definitely want to hear what he has to say so check it out in the Articles section of the website.

Good luck to anyone doing the NPC USAs later this month in Las Vegas. In particular I'd like to give a shout out to my boy Franco Dattilo who will be a superheavyweight.  Go get 'em Freako!

Finally - look for a YouTube segment later this week on a little gem of a hamstring exercise that I feel is hands-down the biggest contributor to my hamstring development. Do a search for Jason Wojo and it should pop up.

Until next time - train like you're #1!

DVD news...

DC Training is now available through trueprotein.com and of course you can still order through the website here. Still a great value for almost 3 hours of footage and information.
