In view of recent events, I thought I'd repost this to demonstrate the circles Pierini moves in as opposed to Jigglin' Joey Jello. When it comes to class and real training, pierini leves Joey in the dust happily schmoozing Johnny Cult, deluding himself into believing he's gotten somewhere. I mean, really........Tommy Kono - Johnny Cult.

Today, Friday, August 15, 2008, Tommy Kono met with pierini at Bodytribe Fitness , a no-frills weightlifter's gym in Sacramento, to go over some finer points in pierini's lifts.



Working on technique using a training pole custom made by Mr. Kono for pierini:



Mr. Kono's signature on the pole came out a bit blurry in this shot. I'll have to ask pierini to send me a clearer shot:







Bodytribe owner Chip Conrad on the right, and pierini's good friend and coach, Don. Both are competitive lifters:



Bodytribe is a no-nonsense power lifter's gym. You won't find any Holiday Spa fru-fru in this spartan place:











The lady whose back is to the camera is Allyson who is taking advantage of Mr. Kono's tutoring. The dog just comes with the gym. There is a video of Allyson further down:



Everyone who was in the gym. A photographer from the Sacramento Bee who was on assignment graciously used my camera for this shot:



Yours truly had the priviledge and honor of meeting an Olympic and bodybuilding legend:



Now it's on to the videos:

Mr. Kono was impressed with this lady's technique. He maintains that it is easier for women to master Olympic lifting:
