Thursday, October 18, 2007 - 16 Days Until My Final Pro Show of the Year
Weight: 150.6 (Holding)
Today my training partner turned 48, so we celebrated with HITT Cardio.
Hanging Leg Lifts
3 x 25
1 x 25 holding a 5-pound dumbbell between our feet
Slant Board Crunches
2 x 25
Ball Crunches
2 x 25
Flat Mat Stretches
Heavenly
HITT Cardio
5-minute warm up
5-20 second splits at 10 degree elevation, 10 mph speed, 40-seconds rest between splits
20-minute cool down, moderate elevation and speed
Two other athletes wanted to try HITT Cardio, so I marched the three of them, including my training partner, through their paces. We drew a small crowd of cheerers as the four of us went through the splits. The 22 year-old nearly puked. LOL

Friday and Saturday, October 19-20, 2007 - Atlanta
I drove from Birmingham, Alabama to Atlanta, Georgia on Friday afternoon. After spending a pleasant evening with a fellow competitor and friend, Melt Harrell, I arrived the next morning at Atlanta Fitness, an old-school, spartan gym located in Tucker, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, to meet with Alan Bailey, a natural Pro bodybuilder and outstanding poser.
Alan owns "Muscle Elements" (born2train@hotmail.com) and in addition to being a world-class bodybuilder, he trains men and women for their competitions. I asked Alan to help me with my posing for my next contest in two weeks. We worked on transitions, positions and timing. After our two-hour session, I was very tired and very happy. I will present better at the FAME North American Championships in Miami on November 3rd, thanks to Mr. Bailey.

This was fun and a good way to prepare for Saturday's competition. Brian will compete in the Men's Master Pro 40-55 class and I am entered in the Men's Master Pro 55+ class.

Tuesday, October 30, 2007 - Four More Days!
Weight: 145.2 pounds
Today my training partner and I focused on abs and cardio. We did 100 hanging leg lifts, 50 pull ups, 50 slant board crunches and 50 sit ups (no foot support). We also did 30 minutes of moderate speed, moderate elevation tread mill. While he did 200 skip ropes, I did some leg flexes and poses.
After the workout, I did a full body shave and exfoliation. I use Dream Tan's Body Exfoliator. It's a good product. I will have my first professional spray tan applied after work today and a second coat tomorrow. I leave for Miami at 7:00 AM on Thursday. I was asked to arrive a day early to help set up the inaugural Master Pro competitions.

Monday, November 5, 2007 - Mission Accomplished
2007 FAME North American Championships, Miami, Florida, November 3
Results: Grand Master Pro Division – Champion
Contest Photos: Please visit my web site http://www.bodybuildingsenior.com/photos2007.htm for all of the show photos from my contest year. Stage and casual photos from the FAME North American Championships will be posted this week.
This is the final post to my journal covering my third year of competitive bodybuilding. And, what an interesting and exciting year it was.
In 2005, my first year, I competed in six bodybuilding competitions, winning several trophies, while learning a great deal about our sport.
Last year, I upped the number of contests to 10 and managed to win several more trophies and two Master Pro Cards in natural bodybuilding federations (NGA - USA and IDFA - Canada).
This year, I was involved in 12 shows as a competitor, judge and guest poser. I was awarded my third Pro Card (WNSO-FAME) and completed the NGA Personal Trainer Certification course, which added to the Personal Trainer Certification I already hold from the National Federation of Professional Trainers (NFPT).
I also competed in my first Pro Shows this year, two with the NGA and one with WNSO-FAME.
I was sponsored and supported in 2007 by UPS Labs, Maximum Nutrition and SomaLife, makers of the supplement, gHPSport. Thank you Sponsors.
I also owe big thanks to Sean “Sully” Sullivan and Tommy Jeffers (Sporto), who helped me with my training and 2007 NABBA National Champion, Eric Brugh, who helped me with my contest diet and nutrition.
Here is my contest record for 2007:

My third season now completed, I will take a short break…a very short break, and soon I’ll begin training for my first Pro Show of 2008, the FAME Nationals and International Pro Championships in Toronto, Canada, May 30-June1.
Look for my new journal here, titled, “Fourth Year Student – My Senior Year” that will take me through the 2008 season, when I turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare!
Thank you for your interest and support. Train Hard. Train Natural.
