Thursday, April 19, 2007 - 22 Days Until I Check In For My First Pro Show
I weighed 155.0 - Contest goal 150.0
Today was Legs and Calves day. I did three sets of couplets (supersets with no rest) of the following:
Machine Leg Press - 3 x 8 x 300 pounds
Lunges - 3 x 8 x 150 pounds
Squats - 3 x 8 x 285 pounds
Ham Curls - 3 x 8 x 125 pounds
Extensions - 3 x 8 x 150 pounds
Seated Calf Raises - 150 pounds (3 sets of 25 reps seated + 3 sets of 25 reps standing)
Then I did 30-minutes of stationary bike, 100 abs crunches and a practice posing session. I'm feeling strong.
Tomorrow morning (Friday) I leave Birmingham at 6 AM in route to Providence, RI, to then drive to Plymouth, Massachusetts to see my Coach, Sean, "Sully" Sullivan and to help him with his show, the OCB Spirit of America, on Saturday.

Sunday, April 22, 2007
I just want to say how awesome it was to be a judge at this year's OCB Spirit of America Bodybuilding and Figure IFPA Pro Qualifier Championship in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Saturday. Last year I competed in this contest and this year, I watched it from a totally different perspective. There were 88 athletes competing. My report card is good, as my scores were very much in line with the consensus. It was a great learning experience for me as a competitor. I have now judged shows in the FAME SNBF and the OCB Federations. I have been asked to judge a NGA show in a couple of months. I know this experience will impact how I compete in future contests and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn more about our sport.
Monday, April 23, 2007 - 18 Days Until Check In At My First Pro Show
Body Weight: 157 (I put on a few pounds over the weekend at the OCB Sprit of America) - Target 150
Heavy lifting Day
The objective of the heavy lifting portion of this training plan is maintenance or even an increase in muscle mass while in a fat loss phase. The plan calls for two heavy lifting sessions per week.
Day 1: Chest and Back
Day 2: Quads and Hamstrings
Chest and Back Weight Training
A1. Incline Dumb Bell press - 6 x 60 pound dumb bells
No rest
A2. Dumb Bell Flies 8 x 40 pound dumb bells
Take 2 minutes of rest, and then move on to...
B1 Medium Grip Chins 1 X 10 (full reps)
No rest
B2. Machine Lat Pull Downs 8 x 120 pounds
Take 2 minutes of rest then get back to A1. Perform each superset FIVE times.
C1. Dumb Bell Curls 3 x 6 x 30
D1. Triceps Rope Pull Downs 3 x 6 x 70
After the weight training, I did 100 slant board crunches, 200 skip ropes and a practice posing session, where I worked on my symmetry, mandatory rounds and individual posing routine.
This was a great workout.

Friday, April 27, 2007 - Two Weeks Until My First Pro Show
Body weight: 154.6. Contest goal. 150.0
Ex Beetle, Paul McCartney has a song. It's called "When I'm 64"
"When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now, will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine? When I stay out to quarter of three, will you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?"
I be 64 tomorrow and my wife says, "Yes."
It has been my goal since I turned 50 to be in the best shape of my life each year, on my birthday. Today, I am in the best shape of my life and I'm grateful.

Saturday, April 28, 2007 - Exactly Two Weeks From Today I Will Be On Stage In My First Pro Contest I weighed 155.0. Contest weight goal is 150.0 I'm looking hard and vascular I can't think of a better way to spend part of my birthday than working out in preparation for a bodybuilding competition. I was focused, energetic and driven. With two weeks to go until the 2007 NGA Olympic Gold Junior Pro Championship in Salt Lake City, Utah, I don't have any time to waste, and I didn't waste any. Today I did Lactate-inducing lifting. It was incredible. I was drained after this workout.
Lactate-inducing lifting
The objective of a lactate-inducing session is to stimulate growth hormone release (as well as burn a lot of calories for fuel) via a whole-body lactate production. The more the numbers of muscles are involved in the process, the more effective the session will be. So in that regard, here are the guidelines:
1. Work the whole body
2. Minimize rest-intervals (or maximize the work-to-rest ratio)
3. Use sets lasting 50-70 seconds (12-20 reps)
4. Alternate exercises for muscle groups that are far away from each other and "unrelated"
CIRCUIT A: (12-15 reps per set)
A1. Bench Press - 15 x 150
A2. Hack Squat - 15 x 235
A3. Cable Row - 15 x 125
A4. Leg Curl - 15 x 125
A5. Knee Raise 15 x each knee
No rest between exercises within the circuit (or as little as possible). Perform the circuit three times.
CIRCUIT B (15-20 reps per set)
B1. Push press - 20 x 125 pounds
B2. Lunge 20 x 130
B3. Close grip chin 20 (some rest to get them all done)
B4. Dead Lift 20 x 140
B5. Incline Sit Up - 20
No rest between exercises within the circuit (or as little as possible). Perform the circuit three times.
CIRCUIT C — (15-20 reps per set)
C1. Dumbbell Curl - 20 x 25
C2. Calve raise - 25 x 300
C3. Triceps Extension 20 x 50
C4. Crunch on Exercise Ball 20
C5. Upright Row 20 x 100
No rest between exercises within the circuit (or as little as possible). Perform the circuit three times.
After the Circuits, I ended the session with 30 minutes of moderate cardio, designed to blow off the built up lactic acid. After I returned home, I did a practice posing session. I will do a couple more practice posing sessions during the weekend.

Monday, April 30, 2007 - 12 Days Until My First Pro Show Body Weight: 155.8 Contest Goal: 150.0 News Flash I have decided to compete this Saturday in the NPC Vulcan Classic in Birmingham, Alabama. Quite a few of my gym budds are competing in this non Pro-Qualifier and I feel it will be a great warm-up show for my Natural Pro debut a week later in Salt Lake City, Utah. I will compete in the Men's Master 50+ and Men's Master 60+ Classes. So, I am now in a final week contest prep mode. This will be my first show since I won my Master Pro Card in Toronto last November. I'm pumped. Today I did an upper body, core workout with 6-8 rep sets of heavy weights, followed by a moderate cardio session. I will do more cardio this evening and complete a couple of practice posing rounds.

Friday, May 4, 2007 - Check In Day For My Final Amateur Contest2007 NPC Vulcan Classic, Birmingham, Alabama Weight: 152.2 Contest Goal: 150.0 My one concern is "making weight" at the check-in this evening. I have been waking up each morning below the Lightweight Class maximum (154.25). But, by the time I arrive home from work, after eating and drinking all day, my weight is over the Lightweight Class maximum. Yesterday morning I weighed 152.8. When I returned home from work, I weighed 155.6. I know it's a lot of water weight, but I have to weigh-in this evening between 6 - 9 PM. I usually don't worry about weight, but in this case, I would rather compete in the Open Lightweight Class, where the weight is 143.25 - 154.25 than the Middleweight Class, where the weight is 154.50 - 174.25. I would rather be at the top of my weight class instead of the bottom. I did not go to the gym this morning. I stayed home and did a pump-up and practice posing session. I will continue on my water and diet for the day, and hopefully, for me, have a "successful" weigh-in this evening. I'll keep you posted.

Saturday, May 5, 2007, NPC Vulcan Classic, Birmingham, Alabama
Results: Open Men’s Lightweight – Second; Men’s Master 50+ First
After coming off of a six-month hiatus from competing, I was eager to return to competition. With two weeks to go until my first Pro Show on May 12, I decided to enter the NPC Vulcan Classic, held in Birmingham, Alabama, where I live. It’s the second year for this non-pro qualifier. The NPC is interested in this show and had the NPC Alabama State Chairman as the Head Judge.
The show had several small classes, including Teen, Novice, Junior Open, Open, Masters and Figure. There was also a Mr. Birmingham class. There were no female bodybuilders entered.
All of the classes were competitive, as several athletes were using this show as a warm up for upcoming NPC pro-qualifier contests.
I competed in the Men’s Master 50+ Class and since the other 50+ Master who paid to enter didn’t show up, I was the only one in the Class, so I placed First. On stage, I competed with the Men’s Master 40+ Class and that was awesome. They kept us on stage for quite a while. I loved it. Hell, I wanted to beat some of those kids, so I posed like I was trying to. LOL
In the Open Men’s Lightweight Class, there was one other competitor, an outstanding young athlete who was my size and weight. He is a 35 year-old active duty U.S. Navy Recruiter, based in Birmingham. This was his second show. He was outstanding. He is a natural athlete and we talked back stage about him competing in natural federations. We are going to work together towards that goal. A Navy Captain helping a Navy Chief Petty Officer. Makes sense to us.
I had a great time with my individual posing routine, a 60-seconds version of my Glenn Miller St. Louis Blues March routine. The audience seemed to enjoy it, too.
So, now, I fly to Las Vegas tomorrow to attend a convention and then on Wednesday, I fly to Salt Lake City, Utah and meet up with my distance training client who is going to compete in the 2007 NGA Mountain States Regional Bodybuilding Championship as a Novice and Master. I am the Guest Poser for his show and will compete in the 2007 NGA Olympic Gold Junior Pro Championship that same night.
I am confident that this warm up show was very beneficial and will allow me to come in a little better when I step onto the stage in Salt Lake City next Saturday.

Monday, May 7, 2007 - Las Vegas, Five Days Until My First Pro Show
Sunday morning, after my Saturday night NPC contest in Birmingham, AL, I flew to Las Vegas, NV to attend a convention with my company. I am staying at the Mandelay Bay Resort. This is an incredible facility. My room has a full-size wall mounted wide screen TV, a huge bathroom with standup shower and deep tub. My 11th floor view looks out over the Las Vegas Strip. Sweet.
Best of all is the Fitness Center. This place is awesome. In addition to a huge workout area with plenty of weights and cardio equipment, it has three whirlpools, a large steam room, sauna and private walk-in showers. They offer free fruit, water, soft drinks, juices and pastries (if you are interested). The Center is a little pricey ($26.00 a day), but, I made friends with the clerk at the front desk at the hotel when I checked in and mentioned I was training for my first Pro Show this Saturday, so she didn't charge me for my three-day spa membership. Also Sweet. The perks of being a Pro Bodybuilder. LOL There were quite a few people using the spa who stayed over after the De La Joya - Meriwether fight. Lots of shadow boxing going on in the Fitness Center.
I had a little trouble finding the food I needed on Sunday evening. This town is expensive. One place I looked at offered a Salmon dish for $46.00. I passed. I found a restaurant and had a small steak and salad for a lot less. This morning, at the hotel, my three egg whites omelet, grapefruit juice and coffee only cost $26.00.
My training consisted of some core work, with three or four exercises per body part and 10-20 reps each. Then I did 30 minutes of cardio, and in my room, a practice posing session. I will do another round of cardio and practice posing later.

Friday, May 11, 2007, NGA Mountain States Regional/Olympic Gold Junior Pro Championship My training client and I arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah this afternoon and after checking into the hotel, went to the venue to meet Blair Dean, the contest promoter. I am Vice President of Marketing and Promotion for the NGA and this was my chance to spend some time with an NGA Regional Chairman. Blair is a good man. He has been promoting shows in the Mountain States for many years and he knows his business. This will be a well-run show. Doc and I helped Blair set up the trophy display and pump up room. We then spent a lot of time with Blair, talking about the evolution of our Sport. It was all very interesting. We then took care of the polygraph tests and then had our last meal of the day. Check in is a noon tomorrow and the competitors then arrive at the venue at 6 PM for a 7 PM start. This will be an one-session show, with prejudging, individual posing rounds and the awards ceremony for each class at one time. The show starts with the Teens, then the Novice, Figure, Masters and Open. I will do my Guest Posing after the intermission after the Masters and before the Open. My Junior Pro contest follows the Open Over All. Blair has invited Doc and me to have dinner with his staff and the judges after the show. Doc and I are as ready as we can be. He dropped about 30 pounds in eight months for this show and will come in at around 146. I will come in at 150. We are both cut and tight. Sweet.

Sunday, May 13, 2007, Salt Lake City, Utah, NGA Olympic Gold Junior Pro Championship
Results: Third Place
What a night. It was my first Guest Poser appearance and my first Pro Competition.
I had a great time doing my three 90-seconds posing routines, back-to-back, with costume changes (quickly) in front on 450 people at the 2007 NGA Mountain States Regional Pro Qualifier Bodybuilding and Figure Championship, in Bountiful, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City. I believe the audience had as much fun watching as I did performing.
The contest began with a large Teen Class, followed by an equally large Masters Class. I did my Guest Posing stint following the Novice and Figure Competition.
The Open Class completed their competition and then the NGA Olympic Gold Junior Pro Championship completed the evening.
I had time to pump up while the Open was in progress and was ready when the Head Judge called the Pros to the stage.
The NGA Olympic Gold Junior Pro Championship is for first-time professional athletes and the competition for me was exciting and fun as we began to hit our poses for the first time as Pros.
First Place went to Shane Stewart, NGA Mr. Utah for 2005 & 2006. Second Place went to Ray Long, from South Carolina, now living in Utah. Ray is a 190 pound, 5' 6" former power lifter. His quad, hams, chest, back package was awesome.
I was proud to stand with these guys and place Third in my first pro show.
In addition to the cash prize, we were awarded beautiful leather show jackets with the 2007 NGA Olympic Gold Junior Pro Champion embossed on the back and the NGA logo over the chest on the left front. A Very Cool Jacket.
After the show, the promoter, Blair Dean, invited Doc and me to have dinner with his family, the show staff and some of the judges. Blair is a Class Act, and this was a great experience.
And, my training client, Doc Dana, placed Third in the Novice Lightweight Class in the Mountain States Regional.

Monday, May 14, 2007 It's really starting to sink in. I actually had my first Guest Poser appearance and also competed in my first Pro Show on Saturday. How cool was that? I had a great time and a memorable experience. It was my 18th show. I remember my first amateur contest, the NPC Northern Kentucky in March 2005. I will certainly add my first Guest Poser appearance and Pro Show to my bodybuilding memory bank. In addition to the cash prize I received for placing Third, they presented me with a leather jacket with "NGA 2007 Olympic Gold Junior Pro Champion" embossed on the back.. It was about 70 degrees out when I left home for the gym this morning. I took the lining out of the jacket and wore my new "trophy" over my gym clothes. It felt great. When I get home after work, I will hang it in the closet and then continue to prepare for my next competition. I felt at the Pro Show I needed to add some more size to my legs and to work on my abs. I started a new workout plan today that will emphasize those body parts as I prepare for a contest on June 30th. I am doing three sets of every exercise, going to failure at 6RM, 12 RM and 25 RM. I will work this plan for the next six weeks.
