RIMINI WELLNESS: Training With Rich Gaspari in Italy
Muscular Development|August 2023
I was invited by the Panatta family once again to Italy and to Rimini, in northern Italy, where the traditional historical festival of fitness took place from June 1-4, known as RiminiWellness. Along with me, several VIPs from the bodybuilding community were invited, including two-time Mr. Olympia Big Ramy, William Bonac, Sergio Oliva Jr., Rich Gaspari, and Bob Cicherillo. My task was to give two lectures about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) use in sports. Rich Gaspari spoke about training and nutrition.

There was also a seminar on the third day with the athletes. The Panatta booth was really big and was packed every day with young people who were very enthusiastic about the fitness culture. I was able to give my new book to Mr. Rudy Panatta, who founded Panatta six decades ago, and we took a photo. Mrs. Rossella Pruneti was responsible for the book's English to Italian translation.

The most exciting part of my trip was the back workout that I had with Rich Gaspari. Training with the legendary Rich Gaspari was a dream that became reality. It was very intense, and I filmed this session. The gym was equipped with Panatta machines.

BRYAN JONES: THE LORD OF CLASSIC RETURNS!

It seems like a decade has passed since the pandemic began in 2020. That was a chaotic year for all of us. MD sent me to Atlanta to cover the Chicago Pro, because restrictions in Illinois made it impossible to hold Tim Gardner's annual extravaganza there. The athletes still showed up in force to compete, and the Classic Physique division alone featured 30 men. When they came out to be adjudicated, one man stood out in a flash as the one to beat. I had never heard of Bryan Jones until that point aside from a vague recollection that he'd won the USA a couple of years before. With his braided and colored hair piled on top of his head in a gathered bun with the ends appearing to be some type of bizarre plant, I dubbed him \"The Kai Greene of Classic.\" That didn't stick, thankfully, because Bryan \"Lord\" Jones is a unique athlete in his own right. I knew I was looking at a man who was going to make waves in that division. A few months later he did just that, placing fifth in his first Olympia appearance. But we only saw him twice more after that, at the Arnold Classic and once again at the Olympia at the end of 2021. Since then, Jones has been working hard to build the additional size needed to successfully transition to the Open category. I spoke with him about his brief but notable time in Classic, and how he plans to make a big splash in Open.

HOW MUCH REST IS BEST?

Getting enough rest after weight training is essential for optimal muscle growth and performance. Unfortunately, many get insufficient rest because they simply disregard the fact that weightlifting breaks down muscle tissue, creating the requirement for adequate rest to fully recuperate.

Get Peeled With Extra Virgin Olive Oil

As you know, pathologic fat accretion results in obesity. The medical community and pharmaceutical industry have been struggling to address this burgeoning condition in the Western culture - particularly in the United States. Obviously, individuals have also been struggling in their attempts to avoid or correct unsightly or unhealthy fat gain. Imagine the shame these professionals and people must feel when they realize they may have been ignoring a risk-free, health-promoting, inexpensive dietary ingredient that can enhance fat loss. Bodybuilders seek potent drugs or supplements to force the metabolism to strip body fat to low single-digit percentages, but failing to acknowledge the foundation of diet can sabotage even their extreme measures.

CREATINE: THE BEST FORMS

New products and formulations are introduced to the supplement market every day. However, it is very rare for a product or especially an ingredient to create noteworthy evolution in supplement performance. Arguably, the greatest leap up this axiomatic evolutionary ladder occurred with the advent of creatine supplements in the 1990s. Creatine has proven over and over to be \"the real deal\" in clinical research and broscience. It's a muscle-building, performance-enhancing supplement that nearly all athletes should use.
