jon-santa1Hey MD!

I hope you all had a great holiday season and spent it with the ones you love. I had a great time with my family and friends! Because I had the week off from work, I spent most of the week training in different gyms.

First, I headed out to Gold’s New Haven in Connecticut with my friends Juan Morel and Jillian Reville, both new IFBB Pros. We trained there for two days. All three of us trained shoulders the first day. On the second, I did chest on my own.jon-juan-jillian

Sean-JonThe following day was my first shoot with MD as a Pro! I met Sean Andros at Bev Francis’ Power House Gym and it was right to work! Sean was a lot of fun to shoot with. Let me tell you, this dude is doing a great job taking care of not one, but three magazines and the websites as well!

That brings us to Saturday. This time I met with my good friends Marco Rrivera and Ray Coppinger. Ray will be competing in March at Steve Weinberger’s Metropolitans; Marco is a new pro. We trashed legs – a great way to end the year. It’s been a few days, and I am still hurting! That’s what you call a job well done!

Then I squeezed in one more workout with my good friend and IFBB Pro, Melissa DeBernardo. Like me, she is gearing up for the New York Pro on May 19th.Jon-with-Melissa1

Well, that’s it for now! Stay tuned for regular updates! You can also follow me on facebook - facebook.com/jdelarosa84, like my fan page – IFBB Pro Jon Delarosa, or follow me on twitter - @crzybreaks.
