Congrats, Scott!!! You're such a consistent inspiration!!! Thank you for your posting everything. In case you ever wondered, YES, I read your posts all the time. Half the time I'm keeling over from exhaustion reading some of those work outs, but they obviously have paid off! Congrats again!!!

Tuesday, May 15, 2007
I continued to work on adding size to my legs by working "reps to failure" sets. I did squats, extensions, ham curls, adduction and abduction. Each exercise consisted of three sets. The first was 6 RM, the second was 12 RM and the third was 25 RM. This was tough. I ended the workout with three sets of 25 reps of seated calve raises. Tomorrow is a cardio only day, with some abs work and pull ups for good measure.

Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 44 Days Until My Next Contest Today I continued my three sets-to-failure exercise plan. In each exercise, I picked a weight where I failed at 6 reps on set one, 12 reps on set two and 25 reps on set three. I did shoulders, back and biceps sets, including shoulder presses, shrugs, lats pull downs, laterals, dumb bell biceps curls, machine curls, and cable curls. I ended the session with palms facing me pull ups, hanging leg raises and slant board sit ups. This was a solid, pumped workout.

Friday, May 18, 2007 - Six Weeks Until My Next Contest I did my second legs and calves workout of the week, using different equipment than I did on Tuesday. My three-sets-to-failure exercises included seated leg press, lunges, seated ham curls, extensions, and standing calve raises. My sets were 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM. Tough Stuff.

Monday, May 21, 2007 - 40 Days Until My Next Contest I was a judge on Saturday for the 2007 FAME SNBF Capital Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships in Montgomery, Alabama. It was a pro qualifier and my third contest judging opportunity. The Capital Classic is a good show. We had 44 very competitive athletes with competition in nearly every class. My scores were very much in line with the other judges. The only area I need to work on as a judge is Figure, but I'm learning. And, as a judge, I really learn a lot that is helpful to me in my competitions. I get a different perspective from the other side of the lights. With 40 days to go until the 2007 NPA Masters Universe in Ft. Lee, VA, I am back on my contest prep diet. I enjoyed the week off after my last show on May 12th. Today I continued the 6 RM, 12 RM, 24 RM sets to failure exercises. It was chest and triceps day and I did incline dumb bell flies, flat bench dumb bell flies and decline dumb bell flies. I also did pec deck and ended the session with 50 push ups and 50 slant board crunches.

May 22, 2007 - 39 Days Until My Next Contest It was legs and calves day as I continued my 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM three-sets to failure on each exercise workout plan. I know this is working because my chest and triceps are sore from yesterday's session. Today I did squats, lunges, extensions, ham curls and calve raises. I ended the session with a short, moderate, elevated tread mill run. I'm leaving Birmingham, Alabama this morning for New York City on business through Friday. I have already checked out the hotel and it has a good gym. I'll report daily on my workouts from The Big Apple.

Wednesday, May 23, 2007, 38 Days Until My Next Show
I am in Brooklyn, New York attending a conference. The gym at the Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge Hotel is excellent. It is a private club that offers guest memberships to hotel guests at no charge. The gym is well equipped. One of my Distance Training clients from California, Greg Tarczynski, a professional photographer, is covering the conference. It gives me the opportunity to train with Greg, one-on-one, today, Thursday and Friday. It's good to be able to work with one of my clients instead of offering advice by cell phone, emails and chat.
Today Greg and I worked chest, triceps and abs. He enjoyed the 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM sets. We ended the session with a tread mill run. Tomorrow we will hit back and biceps.

Thursday, May 24, 2007 - Brooklyn, New York
My training client, Greg, and I had a great workout in the Marriott At The Brooklyn Bridge hotel gym. We did several sets of 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM back, shoulder and biceps exercises. We did lats pull downs, low rows, high rows and machine shoulder presses and shrugs. For biceps, we did cable curls and worked the rack with 10 X 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 pound seated dumb bell curls. We ended the session with some moderate tread mill work and abs crunches. Tomorrow, our last day together, we will work legs and calves. It's a little hard staying on a strict diet while attending a business conference, but we are trying.

Go for it dude. I commend you. I am somewhat in the same boat, pun, I am retired Army age 45, doing the same. Prior to retirement i was approx, 181 13%bf,Had soome hip and back problems, 13 years of SF, due to jumping out of plane, and rucking miles with lord knows what. After a couple year lay of from this i got back into the gym. Forward a couple more year i have since weighed in at 245 9%, bench 405, squats 550, for workout at 70% max, and feel better than when i was younger. Like you, age is a number. younger folks here like to think i am in my 20's but finding out different they realize that age is nothing.
Actually have had an invite to the semi-pro football team here in nashville. Heck if the Titans play bad for the most part, i might try them ;).
Anyway, keep up the good job, and good luck.

Friday, May 25, 2007 - Check In At My Next Contest Is Five Weeks From Today I arrived back in Birmingham, Alabama from New York City at 5 PM Central time today. Both the New York and Birmingham Airports were crowded due to the Memorial Day weekend travel. I'm glad I beat the rush. I worked out with my training client, Greg, early this morning before I left for the airport. We had a strong legs and calves training session, including squats, lunges, extensions, ham curls and seated calve raises. I will take the weekend off and hit the gym on Monday morning as I begin a slow five-week contest diet to prepare for the 2007 NPA Masters Universe in Ft. Lee, Virginia on June 30.

Tuesday, May 29, 2007, 32 Days Until My Next Contest
Today I focused on 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM legs and calves exercises. I completed sets of squats, leg presses, extensions, ham curls, abductors and adductors and weighted seated calve raises. I ended the session with 50 slow, hard, slant board crunches, holding at the top of each crunch with a squeeze. With a little over a month to go until my first contest, I am basically ready. I will harden up and lean up a bit with diet and cardio as the time to compete nears.

Wednesday, May 30, 2007, 30 Days Until I Check In For My Next Contest
Today was a cardio and abs day. I did a moderate elevated tread mill session, and for abs, hanging leg lifts and slant board crunches. I also did a few practice posing rounds, to work on holding my poses hard without shaking. Tomorrow I will work on shoulders, back and biceps. With a month to go until my next show, I'm staying tight.
