"Peace on earth. Sixteen-inch guns."

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Curt James
Sex: Male
Age: 45
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. 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!

1965 front double biceps
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. :)  I took some additional pics for the HECK of it. The last batch was so dang blurry. I want to look GOOD for last place. ;)

Goals:
Main Goal: Gain Muscle
Goal (Short): Peace on earth. Sixteen-inch guns.
Goal (Long): Watching my food intake. Hitting (or the goal is) six meals a day, an hour of cardio, and lifting three days a week on a Jason Ferruggia low-volume workout program. I want to gain muscle and lose fat. That's the goal. Not hitting the sleep goal and that has always been an issue for me. I'm paticipating in the current MuscleTech contest which is a blast.

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
If it's squats or leg presses then it's about three minutes. Everything else is about a minute or two tops. Why? I rest long enough to recover.

Which pro bodybuilder/fitness/figure competitor has the ideal physique? Why?
I love Yaxeni Oriquen's physique. She has full muscles, long muscle bellies (calves, biceps, triceps), an absolutely incredible back, and those abs! And yet with all that muscle, I say she retains her...more
