Updated Training Related Videos by John Quinlan

Good morning everybody, I hope you all have a great weekend :) Just a quick post here as an update to my current training. Below are a couple videos added to YouTube yesterday by The Big Dog from this past week. My main thing right now is to keep my mind focused and relaxed. I try and balance everything and not take things too seriously. Being a dad with 3 young children and taking care of them along with my training it can get quite busy! It's all good because doing both things are so very rewarding to me. Here are the videos below, much love:

Tuesday, March 27, 2012

Today's training session was decent. I was a bit tired as I think the photo shoot I had last Friday is still wearing on me a bit but other than that all is good. Still injury free and I feel ok. The quality of the film isn't that good but I tried again today (usually once a week) to measure my body progress a bit as I am about 5 weeks out from my first show of 2012. Below is the direct link to watch the video clip:


Here is what the Big Dog had to say when he uploaded this video about the discussion we had earlier,


"John told me this year will be different than last year. Last year he tore his entire right hamstring almost off the bone while at the same time tearing his groin as well. As he got closer to show time he said he was unable to do any sufficient cardio work because he couldn’t walk. He also said there were many abdominal exercises he couldn’t perform properly because of these injuries. So far he has said he is injury free and feels very good. He said the injuries are 100% healed. John told me there were people out there that criticized his abs last year but it was because of the fact he was injured and being as injured as he was and not being able to do virtually any cardio and proper ab exercises severely affected his abdominal development. This video was filmed in the gym in March of 2012 about 5 weeks out from his first show of the year. John says checking his abdominal development about once a week when getting ready for a show is a great way to measure his overall body progress."

Romance Cover Model Shoot With Angela Pagliarulo by John Quinlan

I would just like to personally thank model Angela Pagliarulo for a great model shoot with me this past Friday. Angela was very nice, professional and easy to work with. For those of you who knew about this shoot, it was done for romance novel book covers so it will take a little bit of time to get back the images and sort through them and pick out the right ones and have my PR guy get them watermarked for purchase. Hopefully there will be some good ones :) But the main thing is that the photos are finally done! I would also like to thank photographer Sandra Kimball, an amazing photographer and such a wonderful person as well. My guy, The Big Dog, uploaded a video of outtakes from that photo shoot to YouTube this morning. I always try and have a sense of humor in all the model projects I do and this one was no different.....had a great time so a great big thanks again to Angela and Sandra! Much Love!

I Was Talking With A Friend Today by John Quinlan

Just a quick post because it was fresh in my mind. I was speaking with a friend of mine earlier today and he mentioned something that was interesting to me. He asked me if anything about me has changed over the past 2 years, seeing that I am now injury free and have a firm grasp on my diet as I am back in the "fitness" swing of things with a clear head. I said, it is still the same old me I am just smarter now....I know how to train and how to eat. The mistakes I made from 2 years ago will never again be made and the mishaps with my diet from being careless won't be made either. So with that below I have posted a few photos as a flashback to 2010. Enjoy....Much Love!

God Bless
