I'm about to step into the shower and get ready for an impromptu photo shoot this afternoon at Gold's Gym in Venice, California. I'm going to keep the said photographer and the purpose of the shoot anonymous for now until I finish with the session, but suffice it to say this is a wonderful opportunity for me.

I was actually in Gold's last night training back when I was approached by him, and I jumped at the chance to to work with him today. It will be a training shoot--shoulders, back, and hamstrings are on the table, and from what I've heard from some of my friends in the industry who have worked with him, it is a tough experience. He really makes you work! But I've done three-day shoots, shoots covered in chocolate, and shoots in the dunes, so this shouldn't be too difficult of an experience! I wonder if there's a way to mix chocolate and training? Or would that be a physical example of an oxymoron? Either way, no chocolate for me until after the Olympia expo is over and done with. Well, I might throw in a cheat meal tonight after this shoot, but we shall see.

Anyway, I was just overflowing with excitement about this and had to jot it down quickly before I get ready. I'll fill y'all in once I get back.
