Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:	Curt James
Sex:	Male
Age:	46
Location:	Carlisle, Pennsylvania, United States
Occupation:	I'm an elementary school art teacher.
Personal Website:	http://curtjames.com/
Gym:	Planet Fitness and Gold's Gym
Gym Location:	PF, Harrisburg; GG, Carlisle, PA, USA
When I Started:	Aug, 1976
How I Started:	I list my "When" date as August 1976. That was my 14th birthday and even at that age (and younger) I remember looking at superheroes in comic books (and the comic book advertisements like the Charles Atlas ones and, of course, Joe Weider's stuff) and wondering how I could get muscles like that. I was bit by the bug, though, about two years later when I saw the June 1978 issue of Muscle Builder and Power with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbu, and Frank Zane on the cover. BOOM!
Why I Love It:	Feels good!
How I Stay Motivated:	My goal: NABBA USA has an Athletic category for competitors who "have an athletic and trained body without heavy muscular development, must have good muscle separation, low body fat, defined abdominals, and nice overall symmetry." I'd love to eventually compete in one of their shows. Hey, unfortunately, I've got the "without heavy muscular development" part down COLD! ;)
BB Accomplishments:	Stood on stage with Mr. USA Ron Teufel... okay, as a graphic artist. This might have been around 1979. Teufel (who passed away December 22, 2002) was guest posing at a local bodybuilding show and he invited me on stage in recognition for drawing his image for an autograph promotion. Very generous of Ron to give me some of the spotlight! 1980 Ephrata Senior High School "Best Legs" contest, Did not place :p

I was three years old. You like the jacket? And, yes, I have been "bald" all my life. :) I tried to enter the date "1965-08-21" and the BodySpace server or software whoziwhatsis shrieked "That date is more than 25 years old!!" True. See the blog. :)	How do you like the look? No, not my physique! The rolled up basketball shorts. Hey, it's for a contest and I didn't feel like dropping my drawers this time. D'OH!

Last Updated: May 25, 2008 10:59pm

Goals:
Main Goal:	Gain Muscle
Goal (Overall):	Peace on earth. Sixteen-inch guns.
Goal (Long):	I'm following the wavelength eating plan that's outlined on several bb forums. The diet involves one visit to the buffet per day with 100 grams of protein in a shake as the second meal. Those 100 grams of protein can be distributed throughout the day in any division. There's one cheat day per week included in the diet. I'm "chasing" my cheat day. By that I mean I'll have my cheat on Monday, following week the cheat falls on Tuesday, week after that the cheat falls on Wednesday, and so on. Hence "chasing" the cheat. I'm not a big eater and so this plan works for me. I've lost ten pounds since beginning the diet (November 1, 2008 - December 16, 2008). I'm lifting three days a week using a full-body program and using many exercises learned from Jason Ferruggia's low-volume workout program/recommendations. I want to maintain what muscle I have and gain strength while losing fat. That's the goal.
Weight Goal:	I want to LOSE 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:	7%
Upcoming Contest:	The Inaugural Curt James Classic Bodybuilding Championship in 2009 (haHA!)

So, between that, my work schedule and school, I basically dropped the contest. I'm stil exercising but not like I should for the contest. :( Glad to hear you are doing somewhat ok. Looking forward to the after shots and essay. Cheers!
