Background
When I Started: Jan 1975
HOW I STARTED:
In my late 20's I needed to get in better shape to try out as a fireman. I started a love affair with bodybulding that continues 30 plus years later.
WHY I LOVE IT:
I love working out because of the way it makes me look & feel. I like the disipline involved and the fact that I am in control of my body and that I can change my body with the right effort

Results of the show
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:13pmWell I ended up thiird at the NPC Cal show which was really disappointing after I checked out the contest photos today at Musclecontest.com. I thought it should have been 2nd at least. But I was really pleased with my condition which was the best ever. The week before the show I carb depleated for 3 days at 50gms a day and went from 182 to 175. Then 2 days to carb up and ended up at 180 at 5.8%bf. From the pictures the detail I achieved especially with my back was very satisfing. The combination of leaness and size was my best ever. So I know it is still possible to change and effect your phys...
Less than a week to go!
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:13pmMy computer contracted a serious virus , so it has been down for a few days and I wanted to update what has been going on in prep for the show on May 23. Right now I weigh 180 at 6% and have stayed there for a few weeks now. Today I started a short carb deplete cycle and am trying to eat less than 50grams of carbs a day for three days and then on Thurs. start carbing up with small meals every 2hrs, same on Fri. Sat is the show, prejudging looks like it will be about 2pm, so that day I'll have a bowl of oatmeal and a protein drink in the morning and munch on chicken breasts untill noon then 2hr...
A Change in Plans
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:13pmSince my last post on Apr. 12 I have had a couple of changes, #1 bike accident on Apr 18 changed my plans for the show I was going to do on Apr 25 nothing broken just a concussion and knot on the head, so I wasn't able to get it together in time. It really was a shame because at 63 I'm in the best shape I have ever been. So, over Memorial Day weekend on May 23 it's the Calif. State Championships in Culver City. I won this in 2006 when I turned 60 and thought that my competion years were over and that that was the best I could get. However, since then my body has kept responding and getting mor...

So what's in the works for 2010? More comps? iSatori is looking for people to try a 6-week supply of their new pre-workout supp. You aught to apply. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/ showthread.php?t=123670921 (delete the space before "showthread" in the link)

I looked for your blog about NPC. A work in progress? Let me know when it's up. In the meantime, tell us what your next couple of weeks are going to be like in prep for the contest. Your last blog was before your accident.
