the 2011 npc jay cutler classic was here this sunday. It brought back a lot of memories good, bad, and funny. The funniest thing of all, is seeing the same exact people over and over again. This year i would call it redemption. A lot of guys who had placed not so well in prior years made a big leap this year nearly all of them winning a class or 2. I will start of with Glen Rodriguez who i have known for about 10 years now. He used to train at my gym for several years. i like glen he's a good guy and he trains very hard. i have to give him credit he finally did not over diet and kept size on. That size helped him in the npc. He took the masters class overall, novice 1st in class 2nd overall and finished 2nd in the open. Good job Glen!
Then came jimmy a kid who i met from GNC. I had seen his pics from the previous year. he cam in very flat, and was holding water. but not this year he won the overall in the novice and finished first place in his open class. I was impressed with his leg development, and he was very humble and respectful when i talked to him.
Thirdly was big heavy weight Matt. I have known matt for about 15 years he trained with greg rando , and jose raymond for years. I used to talk to those guys a lot back at nautilas plus. Matt who i have competed against has done so many shows. I dont think i had ever seen him win a class though he usually would finish top 5 or not place from my memory. This year his legs were fantastic and his conditioning was dead on. He won the heavy weight class.
It was good to see Jay Cutler, Bev Francis, Steve Weinburger, Arthur, and every one else. Best of all i got to show Joyce that she could now win in the NPC! We walked around boston got some cardio in after the show. the funny thing is we parked for 12 bucks in a parking lot that closed at 8. We had to leave the show at 7 30 find a new parking spot. We found the parking spot and hurried back. it was then that Jay started posing, and being friends with the cut above lol jay had a little joke in store for me. Jay cutler posed on the stage and then started to do his usual off the stage posing when he came over to where i was sitting and went to pull me up to pose next to him in a pose down. ABSOLUTELY NO WAY i was going to stand up next to jay cutler mr. olympia and pose. but it was awesome and i got some amazing pics of the cut above. lol we laughed after the show about it. My friend joyce who is a pro figure competitor was shocked and in awe of the whole situation. I think she may have peed her pants. lol ..no she really didn't but you never know. lol . the show had 152 competitors and all in all it was a good show!
now back to the Auger. today was back day for the auger and his strength is now starting to improve the auger did bent over rows with 315 inverted like Dorian Yates . i watched him to make sure he didn't do sloppy form. the auger then started to talk to me about how excited and happy he was .. in just 8 days his strength had increased.. thats pretty good i must say. Tomorrow the auger has the day off so we will be talking about the bruins game and going over that .. and possibly a little more on the cutler classic. because there is a lot i left out . i am training so many people right now it was hard to get this blog done today! but don't you fret tomorrow i will have another fresh blog done. with more info and more pics!
