Last night I was fortunate enough to win the overall Mr Fitness title for the second year in a row. It was an intense show and there was a lot of great competition. All the competitors arrived for registration at 9 a.m. and the Mr Fitness prejudging didn't start until 4:30 p.m. Let's just say by 9:15 I was itching to get on stage so the next several hours of waiting were torture...

I had my pre prep of chocolate twenty minutes before judging - compliments to my friend Gary who arrived just in time.

I was asked to participate in a fundraiser/charity event that is for a great cause. It's an organization that helps prevent violence and neglect against children. The event is being held this evening from 7:00-10:00 at La Pomme. If you're going to be in the area come on by and if not for yourself, do it for the children! You can find more information about the event, organization, and FREE GIVE AWAYS including three complimentary personal trainings sessions with me at http://www.loveourchildrenusa.org/events_yb2009_2.php.

I know alot of you have been waiting a long time for our next installment of Trainers' Tip.  Guess what?... It is here with double the action.  We hit you with two episodes at once. As usual we always have the episodes to the right of Luke's blog, but if you want to watch it somewhat bigger, plus comment on the episode (which is a must), then head over to TrainersTip.com (if you have a blog, tumblr, twitter, even facebook. Make sure to help us out and either embed an episode or add a link, thanks in advance.) -JR

I just shot a really fun and random job with Gentlemen's Quarterly last week. It was an editorial for a movie that just recently came out. I am not supposed to discuss in detail the shoot until the issue is released, but I feel the people have a right to know! So I shall disclose the finer, more interesting parts of the shoot without breaching any confidentiality agreement.

Apparently some person, man/woman it has yet to be determined (but will be soon by the authorities) decided to write that I am running an escort service. I am unsure where it is posted but was informed "they" posted a fake phone number and my email. Unfortunately the email is correct, for those emailing me about this please stop and no I do not do "pirate shows" whatever that means. If anyone has information to where this is posted or who is involved, myself and the police, leading the investigation would appreciate any information, thank you.

There is nothing better than a classic 80's montage song to get you through an intense workout. And Hearts On Fire is exactly that! Kudos to T-Money, if I had a Workout Tracks Hall of Fame this jam would be on there!

On September 14, our new show, LX New York, will debut at 5pm on 4 New York. The live, daily lifestyle show will feature the latest in fashion, gossip, food and New York-centric stories. LX New York, hosted by Sara Gore, Siafa Lewis and Michael Flocker, will also feature celebrity guests.

If you live in NY look out for this... you may notice someone by the name of Luke Guldan in it!

That's one small step for man; one giant leap for LukeGuldan.com!!! Trainers Tip and I, were mentioned in an article on MensHealth.com, http://workingout.menshealth.com/2009/08/on-my-radar.html.

I will admit that I didn't just happen to be in the article because I am cool like that or Mens Health by chance saw Trainers Tip and enjoyed it, oh no. It was after months and months of continually nagging and emailing. So the lesson to the young, eager, fitness padawans reading this is, persistance does pay off!
