Hey Warrior. Thanks for the props. I wouldn't be able to compete in your Buckeye show because I am a Pro and have competed in five Pro Shows and will do another in 2010. You look fabulous, Friend. I wish I could obtain anywhere near your leaness and conditioning. Awesome physique. Good luck in your next Pro Show. I hope you place Top Three. Scott "Old Navy"
