Monday, March 31, 2008, 11 Weeks Until the 2006 FAME World Championships and Pro Showdown, June 14, Toronto
I judged a contest in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend. The First Annual N.G.A. Natural Muscle and Figure Classic pro qualifier attracted 70 excellent men and women athletes. It was tough to place these fine competitors, but we did and I feel we did a good job of selecting the winners in each class and the overall.
Instead of a guest poser, the promoter decided to do an audience participation stunt just before the intermission. He called for two men, two women and two teens to volunteer to step up on stage and have a 60-second push up contest. I raised my hand and the promoter said, "Old Navy, all right, who is going to challenge Old Navy to a push up contest." I will be 65 in a few weeks. A 55 year-old ex-marine stepped up and said, "I will." Fred and I went on stage and decided to have a little fun in front of the packed house. I took off my shirt and flexed and Fred said, "OK," and did the same. We did a short pose down before we settled on to the stage floor for the push up contest. The timer said, "Go," and we hit it. At the end of 60 seconds, I had done 78 push ups. My marine friend did 79. The audience cheered for both of us. It was a cool moment. Neither the two women nor the three teens matched either one of our totals.
On another note, my training partner, Michael Jackson, 49, a 6' 6", 258 pounds athlete took the test for First Degree Brown Belt in Karate on Saturday. He will learn the results next Thursday. I'm sure he made it.
Weight Training
Weight: 153.8 (A little cheating on Sunday)
Hungarian Oak Leg Blast
I held a 90 pound bar bell, my larger friend held 100 pounds and my very large friend did 110.

Hamstring Curls
3 x 10 - 90 pounds, then, each set to failure (3 x 30)
Seated Calf Extensions 3 x 25
3 x 25 - 175 pounds

3 x 25 - Body Weight

The Hungarian Oak Leg Blast was awesome. We are going to rest this for a week or so and then do it again, with a leg press machine instead of barbells. Should be interesting. We'll start at 2:00 like the Oak.

Monday, April 7, 2008, My New York City Adventure
After the New York Times article on senior bodybuilding, which mentions me, appeared last Thursday, I got a call from CBS News in New York and was invited to NYC to do a follow up story for CBS News Sunday Morning, a network program that airs early each Sunday to an audience of about eight million viewers.
CBS News made all of the arrangements and I arrived in NYC on Sunday night and was met at the airport by a car and driver who dropped me off at a hotel in the City for the night. Early this morning I had breakfast with the producer to go over what he wanted to do with me. We then went to Club "H" Fitness on West 55th Street, a few blocks away from CBS and were met by a film crew from 60-Minutes who were going to do the shoot. I changed into my workout gear and went to the gym floor to began working out in front of the cameras. I did pull ups, pushups, crunches, seated rows, dumb bell curls, lats pull downs, hanging leg lifts, Arnold's, dumb bell presses and skip rope. I managed to use good weights in my workout. I did 60 pound dumb bells for the bench press and 35 pound dumb bells for the biceps curls. My rows and lats pull downs were also heavy.
Then, I did a sit down interview with Dr. Emily Senay, M.D., a CBS News health and medical correspondent who asked me several questions about our sport and about my participation in it.
According to the producer, unless it is 'bumped' by a hot news item, my segment will appear this Sunday (April 13) in CBS News Sunday Morning as the lead story.
After the shoot and interview, I was driven back to the airport and caught a direct flight home to Birmingham, in time for dinner.
I will be back in the gym with my training partner tomorrow morning.

It has been quite a week.
