Hi Scott, I think I see a pattern wrt your workout and it is really interesting! I see how you are increasing the weight! The day of 1x20 is very interesting. Thank you for posting. I can relate to your routine.[/quote]

Thanks, Reconstruction. Since I work full-time in a gym and train several clients each week, I need to vary my workouts or I would quickly become bored. I try to keep it interesting for my clients and for me.

Thank you. I’ve had the pleasure of competing in Toronto and Montreal. I have done one show with the IDFA and four with the WNSO/FAME/Body Proud.

Taking Stock

Every year on my Birthday, I take stock of where I am in terms of health and physical fitness. And, I always set a goal to be better on my next Birthday than I am on this one. Tomorrow I will be 69 years-old.

While I don’t have any plans to enter my 41st bodybuilding competition this year, I am setting a goal on my Birthday to stay in shape and to start a serious contest prep about 15 weeks before I turn 70, when I’ll look for a contest featuring a Men’s Masters 70+ Class to enter before I then hang up my posing suit for good.

Thanks for all your support and encouragement during my past seven years of competitive bodybuilding. I love our Sport.

Regards,

Old Navy

Happy Birthday Scott! I’m glad you plan to compete next year :slight_smile:

You keep increasing the weight! I was going to try to catch up to you (in the legs only) but not any more :slight_smile: I am planning to top out at 100 pounds (extensions, curls, abd/adductors).

But I am wondering, do you have any goals as to when you will stop increasing the weight? thanx :slight_smile: Not sure if that is a nosey question, please excuse me if it is!

Old Navy -

I have been seriously impressed with your training since you started logging on this site. Just amazing work.

I have a question about the amino acid and protein complex you list. How does that fit into your training? Do you use that during training? Throughout the day? etc.

Thanks much!

Happy birthday, Scott!
