Goal (Long):
I am enjoying the bodybuilding lifestyle and look forward to making improvements every time I compete. I am realistic in my goals and just want to bring a better me to the stage each time I am in a show. I appreciate all the kind words from BodySpacers and wish all of you luck in obtaining your goals.
Starsinmyeyes is the other half of my inspirational power couple. Julie is one of those amazingly upbeat and positive people that spreads her enthusiasm and energy to all of us. She is a never say die competitor that is a joy to be around. Thanks for being the coolest.
Camanoislandr and Starsinmyeyes are my inspirational power couple. Their fantastic relationship, their amazing support of each other and their friends, and their dedication to being great bodybuilders and people puts them number one in my book. Thanks Guys!!!!!
I would have to say that the 2009 INBF Washington State Natural show was a resounding success for me. No, I didn't win either class I was in, but achieved my goal of bringing a better me to the stage than the last time. Thanks to Scoobysnacks, I came to this show in my best ever...
Wow Mark! What a nice compliment! It would be an honor to do that, but I still have a ways to go! Hopefully I am on the right track! Better step it up for this 40 something! That would be a great goal to work for! Thanks for the kind words! Your encouragement means a lot!
Magazines have been calling me for cover shots--ha!! I told you that you may not want to claim you knew me--double ha!! The routine started off with the song called "You should be a model" no less.... I am blaming YOU for this one--ha!!
I didn't stay for the nite show, but I was there in the AM. I'll see if I can copy the routine from the CD onto the computer & send it over to you.
PM me your email address
Take care Mark.
Hey Marky Mark! I am doing the show with Rob! I am crossing over Masters/Open for fun:). You should see Rob's new posing routine costume! He is pretty hot! Hope you are doing well! We will keep in touch for sure! Thanks for the shout out!
Thanks Mark, but I have low expectations for this one.... just trying a different look after always coming in so flat and scrawny:) I wont be as fat as Vancouver, but am trying to come in fuller.... guess the results will be seen soon--ha!! I will give you a text.... you are going to miss one heckava routine--double ha!! (You may want to pretend you dont know me) :)
Mark,Rob's routine from IM was AWESOME... If you've haven't seen it let me know I'll try to put it in a file and send it to you. Too. much...
Hope all is good.
It does sound like your busy!! Hey also just to let you know. At next years show. We are giving away with the pro cards, entry and air fare to Kansas City!!! It should be a great show!! Can't wait. New site will be published in a few days. Same address.
Yo, my man Mark!! If you guys can make it up to the NW Champs on the 7th, we will treat you to that long lost dinner:). Plus.... think my last routine was out there??... Stay tuned for this one!!---HA!!! :)
How's the training coming along big boy?? I hope you are feeling energized and are making progress! Julie and I are doing the NW Champs in November and I plan on coming in a bit fuller, prob a little fatter -ha! .... but want to give something a try. I know I know, likely a mistake, but I am hard headed:) Hope you are doing well!!
Thanks so much Mark! I was totally SHOCKED!!! It was pretty great to see the daily hard work and dedication pay off for us both:) Now onward and upward with new goals to attain! We cherish your cheers and support! Now off to "kick some booty" in the gym! Keep up the fight my friend!:)
Thanks Mark:)... It was really great to see you and appreciate your input from prejudging... you are a valuable resource and a trustworthy friend. I missed you at the night show and would have really liked to get together for our traditional post contest dinner too! It was so late by the time we were done, the only place open was the casino. Again, thx so much for coming up to see us!
Hey Mark!!:) I am really trying hard and am looking forward to the show... its been a whole year since my last. I think I am as lean as I have ever been, but always feel I could get leaner. I am just hoping I was able to keep some muscle that I had gained this year, we shall see! I feel good no matter what happens or who shows up, but I still want to win!! haha:) Hope you are doing well, thanks for your words:)
I'm definetly bigger & Fuller than last time, I just can't seem to lean out as much as I'd like. We'll just have to see how I look at the show. Look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you so much! Yes, it has definitely been difficult and I never would imagine that I'd be at this point, content with my body, more than I've ever been at any point. I actually WANT to gain more muscle, I never thought I'd say that. It feels good being strong. Thank you!
