Overall Goal: My overall goal has been the same since i was 14. Be in the best condition I can. I also want to see how far an older guy can go. I aiming for the top 5 of the USA as a goal this coming year and hope i can get as much support from my friends as i
I started back in the 70's when I flipped off the wrong person. I was a big kid at 12 years of age, weighing 185lbs at 5'6". Thought I was being cool and flipped off a teacher, the problem was he was 6'2" 260lbs and a former power lifting champ. back in the day. He grabbed me a carried me out the room like I was rag doll. (the dude had horse power) Thought I was going to die and really I kind of deserved the scare, but instead of killing me, I became his lifting parner. By the age of 14, I had a good bench of 365lbs at 175lbs. From there I was part of a Bodybuilding club in high school where we worked mostly on heavy bent over rows, bench and curls. Not really balanced but better then most. We didn't understand diet and nutrition.
After school I continued to train in distance running, swimming and biking. Basically triathalon work before it was really popular. I then moved on to martial arts for several years.
After I got out of kicking and throwing things..or people, I went back to bodybuilding with a more well rounded routine. I figured out balance for myself.
Why I Love It:
I find I love the feeling of training and pushing myself.
How I Stay Motivated:
Never understoud why, just know that I am and always have been.
BB Accomplishments:
I have some. But thats not what counts....its my friends being there for me, you guys rock, yeah old term! lol (old guy) lol

OH GOOD another Rambler HA. Agree totally with you about bringing this sport to a point where conditioning and form would take precedence over just size. You've certainly proven that fact so far nd hopefully a lot of the new kids on the block will do the same and like it or not the sport and judging will move in that direction. Have a great weekend Pal and great Holiday Season and New Year and much success in everything next year. Andre
