Overall Goal: I want to transform my body such I recover much of the shape of my earlier training years, along with increases in strength and stamina.

Need to start gearing up in training for the fall and football.

Personal Website:
Primary Gym:
College:
High School:
When I Started:
Apr, 1979
How I Started:
Lost a high school fight. A friend recommended I lift weights "to increase [my] confidence." I followed his advice, grew quick, competed. Later I had long layoff. Coming back off and on now.
Why I Love It:
Makes me feel good and different.
How I Stay Motivated:
My training has been punctuated in recent years by long layoffs; I find coming to the BB.com forums and reading what some dedicated guys older than me are doing, and doing well, gets me off my duff once more.
BB Accomplishments:
3rd place Mr. Ottawa 1989. Competed again in '89 (DNP), and in '91 (DNP, but best arms/back) - all in the M/W category. Also some good powerlifting placings. I compete against myself now.
I want to transform my body such I recover much of the shape of my earlier training years, along with increases in strength and stamina.
Goal (Long):
Because I have a polyendocrine condition, I don't think I'll ever be in contest shape again; nonetheless over a period of, say, 6 months I want to get back into excellent bodybuilding shape.
Weight Goal:
Bodyfat Goal:
14%

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Poor lifting style, especially in exercises like squats, deadlifts, good mornings, shrugs, flyes.

What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?
Probably good mornings, standing tricep extensions, and olympic overhead lifts improperly performed. I also think that practicing the valsalva manoeuver is plain stupid.
Why I like this video: Schwarzenegger was good even as a babe. The double biceps is tremendous.
Dave Draper - Champion Bodybuilder - IFBB Universe
Played: 58
Why I like this video: There's something very dear about this video - it's not only old school, but its music and slow-mo ineffably captures an entire era of beach bodybuilding.
Serge Redding - 502lb. (228kg.) Clean Press
Played: 64
Why I like this video: Redding was my hero in olympic lifting.
Yesterday's workout, while not particularly heavy, nonetheless has my neck, erectors, traps, and hams super sore. My plan was to work out again on Tuesday, but with this DOMS it'll have to either be later, or other bodyparts/exercises.
It's 5AM and pitch black outside. Only a month ago it...
When I was in good shape years ago I used to do the torso-limbs workout (chest/back/shoulders and legs/arms) on a 4-day split (2/1 & 2/2) and it worked fine. But now I don't recover as fast from the first 2 workouts, so I retain a split but am more flexible about time off; I'll do the first...
Yep your right. Got it from a friend of mine. Long story but I will give you the real short version. I used to rule the world(my world of course) a few years ago having lots of money(successful business),lots of things, healthy family then it all crashed down when I sold business and buyer defaulted after and wife acquired Guillain Barre at same time requiring extensice therapy and care.
Thanks for putting the video of Larry Scott up. When I was a teen in the 60's he was one of the reasons I bought weights. I still admire the guy, he's lived the life.
Hope all is well. Luk had an aneurysm on her brain BC Day and we just got back from Lions gate Yesterday after her surgery. Things are going well for her considering what could have happened.
Man sorry it has been soooo long!! I have lost 29 pounds while doing this. Right now I have had to switch from bench press to dips. The BP tore up my shoulders. I don't know why but dips don't bother me. I am doing them now. I
have backed off for awhile but have been working back into my routine.
WJ, I went to my first competition yesterday. It was an INBF pro-qualifier in Madison, WI. I placed second in the grandmasters (50+) division. Learned a lot, had fun, great people. I'm going to do it again! Dave
