You know you are in a hardcore gym when you walk in and the owner of the gym is training legs hard, mind you Greg is in his 60's, is a former Mr. Universe and still looks great. Joey D was hanging with him and they were hammering legs.

Greg Long's is really a unique gym with some awesome equipment. The original Nautilus machines blow away any of today's machines.

We had a lot of talent and experience in that room - IFBB pro Vinny Galanti, national competitor Big Al Fortney, natural pro BigAnt, WNBF pro Shaun Clarida, national competitor Travis Rogers (competing in the USA's in a few weeks), Joey D and more. Great day, great meal.

Thanks McFly! Just trying to work on wide stance squats w/ the bar lower on the back which is Juggs specialty. I think we hit about 12 sets total, lol.

I saw you, TTL and Big Al, tearing up arms. Always motivating to see you guys training.

Juggs, I had a heck of a time hitting legs with you. I picked up some tips from you and Joey D about the wide stand squats that I'll be sure to use from now on.

Juggles thought he could hide from the camera and sneak in some ice cream:

He was wrong:

Same here man, good times! I thought I was going to be squatting solo that day. Doing squats in one of those "open" racks you should always have a spotter; so it worked out great.

I recall both Big Al, TTL and myself saying "oh shit you see da DAWG over there killing squats with the Juggster" well those were the exact words but you get the point...

I think J-Dawg is going to need his own thread now...I'm not sure NG can hang anymore...banging crazy squats with the JUGGERNAUT is no joke. granted NG was doing some hardcore high reps work with Big Ant if I recall correctly. ...lets see what NG does at the next ABC...

just haven't seen you bang some low rep heavy weight work yet? Was shocked to see J in the corner with Jugg doing work...I'm kinda scared of Jugg myself. I can't knock the high reps though, that was what we did....I'm just saying....looks like J stepped out of box a little!

you could pull the oh... I'm older, joints, tendons etc etc but saying that in Greg Long's gym may be am insult to Mr. Long himself....LOL

Yea, seriously you guys were killing legs...I started my back training and you were squatting, then all of a sudden, Im on like my 5th or 6th exercise and you were STILL SQUATTING! I was saying "damn, they are still going!?" Good stuff!

Please take note: The am/fm casette (sports model) water proof Sony Walkman is still in the gym bag, just in case...AJ (MY SON) who is now 7 weeks old gave me the Ipod for an early Father's day gift, And I have a play list as well, got close to 40 songs on it....ALREADY!

The Walkman is still alive...barely! LOL

I agree G. It was really inspiring to see them training together. Makes us all step it up a notch.

I'd like to thank Joey D on the wide stance squatting tips too.
