Main Goal:
Gain Muscle
Goal (Short):
To embrace the challenge of staying fit and healthy
Goal (Long):
Age is just a number, boys and girls, and as far as I'm concerned everything is better after 40! I want to continue to compete until I'm at least 50, continue to be the "fit dad" for my kids and "buff husband" for wifey, and work on becoming a more well-rounded athlete. In the short-term I'd like to win a WNBF Pro Card (just for the fun of being a "pro athlete") and find another sport to compete in, perhaps track and field or Tae Kwon Do.

It’s going on two years since my last contest and I need the spice that a contest on the horizon adds to life. The last twoish years have been interesting. I lost the desire to compete for awhile. Then a recent health scare made me think that I might never be able to compete again. ...

You've got crazy width in your abdomen. Are you naturally like that or have you trained in a specific manner to achieve that?

Hi Bahama! As I really respect both your intelligence and physique, I was wondering if you might have any recommendations as far as a cutting, pre-comp diet is concerned. Do you recommend any plan or book in particular for someone who has never done this kind of thing before? Thanks,...Maddi
