Gym Shoot & Photo Updates by John Quinlan

Hello Everybody,

Just a few updates to add for you. I had a great photo shoot today at Total Fitzness Gym in Wolcott, Connecticut. I would like to personally thank gym owner Dave Fitzpatrick for being so nice to me. This kid is a class act. Dave is in his mid 20's and owns his own gym and just competed in a bodybuilding show where he did very well. Dave has an amazing story as he is back at the top of his game after a car accident nearly took his life. You are a true example of inspiration, courage and determination Big Dave. You have my 100% respect always. Also want to thank John of BBPics.com for shooting some video of me as well as some new images. Both John and Dave really made this shoot come together for me and I appreciated that so much. There are also a few new YouTube videos added by The Big Dog just a couple hours ago from the shoot. Thanks so much as always my friend :) Check out the links and images below from everything that went on today. Thanks everybody for all the love and support!










God Bless

Interview With Claidia Reid & Videos by John Quinlan

Just wanted to post these updates from today. First of all thanks to the Big Dog for uploading 2 video clips of me to YouTube today from this morning in the gym. The first video I personally thank Claudia Reid of New York (writer and radio host) for all the love and support:


The second video is just a clip doing some basic front lat raises with dumbells:


I was also on the radio tonight talking with Claudia Reid about the Migraine Headache. This has been problematic for me over the years and talking about was great to let people know what it is like to go through these episodes. I also talk about a few other things going on currently with me. The interview is a little longer than a half hour and if you would like to listen here is the direct link:


Lastly I would like to personally thank Big Frank Budelewski for the kind words and being so nice to me! Thanks my friend, 100% respect for you always!!!!!!

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 :)



God Bless
