Down But Not Out: Training in the Joint!

The current political climate in the U.S. is indicative of a trend that if things don't turn around soon, almost everyone in the country will either be behind bars, been behind bars, or waiting to go to trial and get thrown behind bars.  If you're a bodybuilder doing time, weight training is going to take on a whole new face, much different than the one you knew all too well on the outside.  And certainly don't be silly enough to think that getting busted and doing time can't happen to you.

Asylum Gym: Hardcore Compact!

P1010076Every so often some guy will call me and talk up his gym and tell me to come see it. The invited trek is obviously designed to get some free publicity out of Romano. If you deserve it, that's cool.  But, sometimes I get wrapped up in situations that are just ludicrous.  It makes keeping an open mind a little difficult.

Schedule Three-- The Hard Way!

Some of you were still playing with Hot Wheels when anabolic steroids became neighbors with Valium and cocaine as far as the government was concerned.   I vividly remember being part of the story that Michael Zumpano told on HMR of the reps from Organon and Searle and other drug companies pulling up to Gold's Gym in Venice and dispensing gear to those of us who ordered it.

Exodus; No Problema!

Someone asked me today if I miss living in Mexico. Of course I do.  The fact that I'm living again in the United States was a notion totally inconceivable when I moved down to Mexico, permanently, in 1999. I had moved there with my wife and son for good.  Unfortunately, my so-called "partner in life"  had other ideas and ultimately forced a very unfortunate hand.  I've spent the last five years missing every bit of the amazing life I had down there and counting the days until I can move back.  In the mean time I'm noticing that I'm not alone in realizing that earning dollars and spending Pesos is an economic paradise.

The Magic of Gold's Gym Venice!

Motivation is the key to bringing any of your physical aspirations to fruition because it's consistency, above anything else, that brings on results.  It's always easy in the beginning, but after a while everyone finds the urge to get-up-and-go to the gym waning.  For some it's a passing thing - like a cold or the flu - for others, it's their downfall; something they can't escape.  It beckons them to the couch like Mohamed to the mountain; the remote gets stuck to their hand, their muscles shrink and their bellies swell... it's not pretty.

You Want Cheese With That?

WORLDLOUIEA lot of people today wouldn't know a hardcore gym if they 
were standing in one.  That's because there are hardly any left.  I 
hate to say it, but these days you have to weed through an awful lot 
of glass and chrome to find anything remotely hardcore, and when you 
do, it pretty much needs work.  But back in the day hardcore was all 
there was.

Old School Mexican Gear; Dunchaine Style!

I was thumbing through my old copy of the Under Ground Steroid Handbook today, reminiscing about my old friend Dan Duchaine.  Sometimes I really miss him and wonder what things would be like today if he hadn't met his end so tragically soon.  Back in the early 80s, Dan made a move to bring steroids and their related gear from the hallowed halls of the medical community right into your own bathroom.  The entire performance enhancement industry today owes its very existence to the ideas fostered by our original guru.
