Reason: I am nearly 44 and have been training for 8 years. Knowing that there is a guy out there who is still making strides at age 53 is very encouraging. I hate to think that I may have already peaked. I like knowing that I can still improve.
Reason: His overall development at 59 is amazing. Great balance of mass, symmetry and cuts. Just the kind of look I aspire to. And to win the over 50 Nationals while giving up close to 10 years on some of his competitors is truly impressive.
