Guess maybe some of the guys at the gym will start taking me serious as opposed to a youthfully challenged old guy blowing off a lot of steam. Perhaps attach a few new pics on Friday when I'm 5 weeks out from show.

Played with dinosaurs as a child. Back then everyone was thin; it was a matter of out-running the raptors or being one of their meals.

I put my faith in the people, but the people let me down, so I turned the other way I carried on anyhow.

Good for you!
My best friend is 76 and he decided to compete in a nattie show @ 74, 1st ever for him after a life time of lifting. I have a vid in my profile of he and I on stage together.
I hope you get hooked on it just like he did!

Go to NPC website print out application. Fill it out and mail it with a check for the amount due (I believe it's $100). Wait for card to arrive in the mail.Originally Posted by Bo_Flecks

good...great...your'e doing great......etc and so on...
enough of that!
leave it up to sobering and kill joy JOHN to rain on your parade:
excuse this cropped pic of you:
do yourself a BIG favor: that is NOT going to go away with diet...it needs plastic surgery: if you are going to really go on stage, and I applaud you, this is just not going to work and will distract from everything else you have to offer....
"handle" this first: I know several people who have done this operation, and they look TERRIFIC!
all of them were people who had lost a LOT of weight and got the same sagging type skin you display here.
really...why not look REALLY good? the upper body muscles look terrific...go for it all...Lift as MUCH as you can, for as MANY reps as you can,
while in complete control of the exercise.

06-08-2011, 12:47 PM #20x10. I lost a fair amount of weight about 22 years ago and still have this exact "sag" around the belly button. You can reduce it by building up a big chest/shoulders but it will never eliminate it. I should have had mine removed when I had cash to throw around (i.e., before kids).Originally Posted by JOHN GARGANI

Thank you. Had considered this back in January and my 1st coach kept saying wait, let's see what we can do. Only wish that he had been more interested in being brutally honest than in me writing out checks.Originally Posted by JOHN GARGANI
