Attention Senior Citizens
Aging isn’t so bad… I’m 64 years old and feeling physically and mentally the best!
I turn 65 in a couple months. Most of us are eligible for retirement, 401k, Social Security, property taxes go down and best of all… you get 5% off at Ihop restaurants!
I had to qualify to compete in the NPC Masters National’s in Pittsburgh this year, July 17th. I started my contest preparation routine 16 weeks ago; my starting body fat percentage was 17%. My body fat percentage varied between 6 to 7% a week before the shows. I was very happy with my muscularity and conditioning; I did my job… now it was up to the judges.
Last Saturday, I placed 3rd in the Men’s Masters 55+ Class at the IFBB Pro League/NPC Republic of Texas Show in Austin. I competed against guys 10 years younger than I, my efforts earned me a ticket to Pittsburgh on Wednesday July 17, 2024!
The competition at the NPC Masters National’s is always tough, some years tougher than others, this was one of those tougher years, most classes were very full, over 1000 competitors total.
My goal was to win a National Title in either the over 50 and/or 60’s Physique Masters Class. I would earn my IFFB Pro Card. That didn’t happen this time, however, I did place in the top 5 in both over 50 and 60’s Physique Masters Class. Considering the quality and conditioning of the competitors in the show, I felt pleased with my placement.
I thank the support of my wife, Sheila, for all her help in my contest-prep regiment! She pretty much followed my diet plan, she’s in great condition herself. She’s lost 24 pounds since we met. The understanding of my sport is hard to comprehend for any normal person, she has and continues to be a good “Trooper” with a competitor’s lifestyle!
I also thank “The Firm U”! I’m not only the owner, but I’m also a client. BTW, did I mention my excuses to NOT WORKOUT or to not Compete in Physique Contests.
