[TonyDoherty]

nice new thread title

I don't know who changed it?

Although I'm honored, there was something about nothing

[TheProgressiveOne]

I found it way more fitting then what you had before, lol. You the man Tony! Reps on recharge.

[TLF84]

Tony got any pics of yourself back in your golden days hahaha

[MadDash]

Tony, which show are you promoting next for Melbourne?

I went to a show of yours a few years ago when you had Ronnie out, had a good time and seeing Ronnie in person was unreal (although the line was insanely long and couldnt get a word with him). Finding out about local shows can be difficult if you aren't tapped into the right sources.

cheers

Alright, I will ask the first question:

Who the fuk are you?

He's a Aussie legend.

[TheProgressiveOne]

Yes, many times. I know him well. He usually drops in for a workout when in Melbourne. Here he is onstage with Me and JOJ last year.

Looking real good in that MM pose Tony.

[OliFs]

Awesome Tony!

Was wondering what's your take on Zyzz?

[cbezz]

Thanks for the pictures of Sonny, they were amazing. And that Dillet Photo is my new background (possibly my single favourite pro of all time).

ps. The expo was fantastic this year! Last years was good also, but this years was much better. And everyone I spoke to agreed the expo was fantastic!

Just a shame the line for Phil Heath was so large haha

[TLF84]

PM question answered....

Hows everything been going? You got a good thread going on the forum. Inspirational story. I would post on there but I don't know what kind of feed back I would get from others if I put it up there. I know you would help. You seem like a down to earth person from the replays you put up on your thread. Hope you don't mind this in a message. Well my goal is to bulk up and get real big. What's would be your best advice to get like that. Like reps, sets, diet, ect. I will take all the advice you give. Thanks.

Dont worry what anyone else thinks.

My best advice is that if you want to be big, then eat big, train big, sleep big. Sets and reps dont really matter, you just need to train really hard, mix it up, just leave nothing at the gym, meaning go as hard as you can every time. Whether that means intensity, high reps or low reps. Just give it every thing you have, then eat sleep and live to recover.

Well said Tony. You should get yourself into the BBing industry or something

Next show is Victorian Championships on October 13th in Melbourne.

[TonyDoherty]

Awesome Tony!

I cant remember meeting him, not sure if he attended shows or not. Cant comment on him as a person, I didn't know who he was until he passed away. It is always sad to see young people die, so of course I was sad to hear about it. I'm sure it was really hard on his family with all the media attention. As far as him physiques goes, he had great potential to compete. RIP.

I haven't given up on Geelong yet. Just waiting for the right opportunity to come along.

Thanks for your nice comments re FitX, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Here is another shot of Dillet that I took in '93

Not at the current location but down the track yes 24:7 is likely for Bendigo (my home town)

[Valenzuelatech]

Wow, the story you posted on the first page has really inspired me. Much respect.

We've talked a couple times at brunswick, great to have you on the forums!

[pm22]

You should look into writting a book about your life, great read! It must be hard at first, trying to open a gym and afford all that equipment, much respect!

Hey Tony,

My Name is Sean and I am 18 years of age, Last year I decide to become a personal trainer because of my past experiences through obesity, eating disorders as well as anxiety and depression. As you know it is very hard to get a start in the Industry and I have been struggling since january. Fortunately I have got some money saved up because I have been working and saving since I was 14. Also my parents help me out a lot, provide me with a place to live and most of my meals for only $35 board a week. I just wanted to let you know your story on the first page has inspired me to do something pro-active and go after my dream of either opening my own training studio or gym. I just called one of my Business mentors from my fitness course and have organised a meeting with him tomorrow. I will also be down the bank first thing tomorrow morning (after ANZAC day) to organise a time to get together.

Cheers Tony I appreciate everything you have shared.
Any info or tips would be great.

Yours in Size and Strength
Sean

Thanks mate, I would love to write a book one day, I kind of suck at writing, so will have to work at it.

All the best mate.

My advice is dont listen to negative people, never quit, work hard and keep pushing forward, even if it is just one inch at a time.
