My Current Training by John Quinlan

I am back training again and I must say so far so good. It has been a real learning experience for me this time around. The past couple years were a bit rough, my diet was off and I was injured very badly. This time I feel I have learned from my past mistakes and I WILL avoid injuries. For the past month my training and diet have been the best since my days as a pro wrestler. It is nice that I am getting back to that point again. There have been a lot of distractions along the way but I am mentally sound and now able to focus on my goals and being positive 24-7. I am looking forward to 4 upcoming Physique competitions, 2 in May and 2 in June. My main goal for anybody that sees me is when they leave they can say, "John Quinlan looked good, he made it respectable." I am just honored to be on the same stage as all of these great athletes and when I say "make it respectable" I mean just that, show the judges and the people in the audience that I did my homework and worked hard. Where I place is out of my hands but to me, I worked hard to get there through good consistent diet and exercise and that is the best I can do. What I do want to say right now is how much respect I have for all the judges and my fellow competitors. All of the competitors.....male and female bodybuilders, fitness girls and physique competitors at these shows work very hard through perseverance and discipline and stepping on stage makes each and every one of them a winner in the game of life. Thus far my diet has been very good, keeping a close eye on my carbohydrate and sodium intake (my biggest mistake over the past few years). Last year was tough as I tore my hamstring and groin a month before a show which resulted in not being able to do ANY cardio for that last month which is crucial and my overall diet was a bit off as my sodium intake was much to high. I kick myself because I know better, basically foolish mistakes that I WILL NOT make this time around. I do want to apologize to some people (you know who you are) as I feel I let you down. I was not discipline enough last time around and it showed so another goal I have is to win those people back this time. I represent the blue collar Boston Irish :)

Pro Wrestler Scott Hall by John Quinlan

The other day I watched the special on ESPN E60 titled "The Wrestler". I was always a fan of Scott Hall, he was a master of his craft and had an in the ring persona that was one of the greatest ever. I admire Scott Hall when he said in the documentary how the only thing in life he wanted to be was a professional wrestler because it was his dream and he worked hard to achieve it. It was his dream and he fulfilled it. As a parent I must admit, it was easy to get a bit emotional watching this special when it came to the part about his kids and what he said. Today, Scott is training his son Cody to be a professional wrestler and I think that is great! Kevin Nash said it best about how Cody is the "anchor" for Scott. I have to be honest when I say I strongly agree with Sean Waltman when he expressed his opinion stating "so you shove the guy out the curtain so you don't have to give out refunds". Doing that to Scott Hall was wrong, sorry, it just was. I think there is nothing better than a dad like Scott Hall passing along his knowledge to his son to someday be like him in the pro wrestling world. From watching this documentary, I was able to see the real Scott Hall directly from Scott himself. I respect Scott Hall and think he is a good person with a lot of heart and determination. As a father of a son my self (2 sons) seeing the two working together was a special thing that I hope I can do as well. I wish Scott and Cody Hall all the best this world has to offer!
