Well the time is here for the USAPL National Masters. I have toughed out 24 weeks of training. Trained around my partner’s personal problems, trained around my sister’s stroke and subsequent passing. Waited to hear that my son made it back safely from Iraq. Even trained around my wife’s “cooking.”
The cycle resulted in some personal best’s in the gym. Now to put it on the line in Ca. During the training I got some admiring glances from nookie girls, and my wife. I did eat well and clean. Now for the morning after the meet to hit the apple fritters.
The best thing about our sport is the friendships. The help and support I have gotten from the younger guys. We have a bunch of great lifters in Texas.
Guys and girls, even into our 50’s we can enjoy great competition, training, and life. You younger guys have a lot to learn yet, so enjoy the ride. Youth might be wasted on the young, but damn we older guys can still have a lot of fun. Don’t be afraid to train hard, eat, do the honey do’s, and have fun.
So now to get ready to kick butt and take names.
I don’t need your rockin’ chair.
