My mom always put on sports and in the 1970's the great powerlifter was the Great Alexiva from Russia and the best bodybuilder was Arnold Swarzz??? you know the Oak! Everyone does! She was single then and a couple of guys who lifted in a place called The Dungeon which was in my local YMCA in Manchester NH at the time, lived in my apartment complex. They would be at the pool and my mom would have a huge smile on her face like she was about to... well lets just say they were lucky to be wearing their speedos. I guess I wanted a woman to have that look on her face when she looked at me and I have been addicted and well taken cared of for 35 years.
Bodybuilding makes me feel like an equal to anyone of any means and status. With it I have influenced conversations and job interviews without flexing a muscle. You do this type of exercise day in and day out and you always look like a beast in clothes even when you are off 20 to 30 lbs.
Now in 2014, my first wife passed away, and I was in a terrible funk that only my Taoist discipline and bodybuilding got me out of. It is my mental straightener. No matter how I wake up, within 15 minutes of exercise, I am sane again or as close as I can get. I look like an asshole in the gym but I am only judging myself. I cannot help what I have developed and I am just getting started. Today my life revolves around this sport and my income. I don't even compete yet but I will be. I want a master's championship and my interactive learning and AI personal training app to be the worlds most coveted. All this from pushing and pulling my most favorite pieces of metal.
