When I Started:
Jan, 1966
How I Started:
started out as a power lifter, then saw how much better bodybuilders looked. been training on and off( sometimes 5 year stretches) for 40 years
Why I Love It:
Starting out as a power lifter Strength was always important to me. I was the strongest in our gang growing up, and by the time I was a juinior in high school(1200 Boys) I was the stongest in school. So getting into bodybuilding around the age of 20 I had a solid foundation. It is just part of ME. Even when I had long layoffs - Istill contemplated strength, health, and fitness, DAILY! I couln't shake if I tried! BB.COM helps me stay on track, Most people just aren't into it! and it is good to see and chat with others with a similar mindset!! In 2006, I was ,perhaps dying, Had to have a hip replacement, but my blood work was so bad they would not operate. I was in a wheel chair, pale and weak. I finally convinced the surgeon and anestesiologist to operate(after tranfusion)and signing a waiver for responsibility. Hip REplaced! On the road to health and fitness. Started lifting again in July '07! Going strong, gaining muscle, losing fat!! and keepin' on keepin' on.
How I Stay Motivated:
People seem shocked when they meet my children or grandchildren. The last comment was from a 33 year old girl, saying how could this be?, when she met my 29 year old daughter. You look way too young for a daughter that old.
BB Accomplishments:
I believe I am in better shape than most men my age. Now I am working on getting into really good shape!
Forum Signature:
Blessed are those of us in this day and age, who care about our health. And those of us with a vision of having a better body are more blessed!! Keep those body parts movin'. Move some weight with those badyparts. Grow to who you want to be, remembering, Right now you are who you are supposed to BE, my fellow human BEings!!
