Earlier, he posted a throwback picture, showcasing his enduring passion for fitness and his commitment to inspiring others on their journey to greatness. The photo showed his first magazine cover, and Gaspari wrote, “This was my very first cover in a magazine. I had just moved to California as an unknown bodybuilder with passion and drive to be a champion.” He explained that while working as a manager at Gold’s Gym in Reseda, the gym often hosted photo shoots for Weider, which helped him get noticed.

Gaspari reflected on being featured on the cover of Flex magazine in 1984, saying,

“For me, it was an opportunity to be noticed by Joe Weider himself that I was coming up as the next champion.” He shared an anecdote about training with Lee Haney, saying, “I really wasn’t noticed until 8 months later when I was Lee Haney’s training partner getting ready for the Nationals and Lee was on a mission to win his first Mr. Olympia.”
