Big Big Comeback

Hi everyone at BB.com Forum etc. Big come back trail has started. My last photos were from Sept/Oct 2004 after competing at age of 58. Then from Jan 2005. Had 2 1/2 yrs of mind blowing pure Hell for a Bodybuilder. Operation to the Oesophagus where it joins the Stomach left me with long term recovery problems, numerous hospital visits and finally a part reversal Operation to the Oesophagus again in June this year. One week in Hospital. Four weeks then on liquidised food which dropped me down to 13 st 8 lbs. Several weeks more rest then started training very light in August. First 4 weeks very weak but put the blinkers on and just carried on steadily. Have now reached 15st 7 lbs. and body shape changing weekly, getting stronger but weights do not matter to me that much and training now very intense.
Will train now for another 4 weeks then take progress photos to show that even at the age of 61 yrs. and very long lay off due to illness us old ones can still make the grade. Best wishes to everyone for Christmas and the New Year. Eddie

As some of you may recall I attempted a bit of come back in Feb 2007. but after only several days had to stop due to the Oesophagus probs and tummy bloating and making me look 9 month pregnant. Will also post couple of these with training progress pics in about 3 to 4 weeks. Edd

Very impressive & even more so; looked at your space & you started in '93; putting you at 47 years old then?!

What year after you started did you finally start seeing BB potential?

Best to you on the recovery and comeback!

I'm 57 and very impressed with what you've accomplished at "our" age. I had a back injury this summer and had to a take a layoff. It was a bitch coming back, but as you know, the body "remembers" and will respond very quickly. Good luck with your comeback. I certainly know you don't lack in motivation. Keep us posted with your progress.
