Overall Goal: Turning 59 in a week- March 29th - Gonna' get into the best shape of my life( in the last 25 years or so), Before I turn the big Six 0!!
cheer me on!! Gotta keep that blood movin' and thso Muscles Pimpin'!!
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!

Where do you get your workout programs?
Years and year of experience- work out partner with title holders- keeping up with muscle mags( especially Planet Muscle= the most realistic if you are not taking steroids). and most of all trial and error- whatever is working right now for me.
