Kelvin Stansbury and the good folks over at North American Bodies were kind enough to do a photoshoot of me. These photos are courtesy of North American Bodies.

[Dangkolo]

Hey, you look so handsome!

Nice pics!

 

[Gymratforlife]

It gets redundant but what a great classic physique!!! The perfect blend of what this sport is all about.

What are your stats?

Thank You all

Hey Thank You, In the state of Florida I don't get a lot of love...lol
so it never gets redundant for me to hear kind comments like yours. I really appreciate it because seeing the classic look many years ago is what attracted me to bodybuilding. I honestly try to honor and portray this with my posing, presentation, and overall performance. This offseason I have made even more of commitment to this. As always Phil handles my training and diet but I have been working with an old school bodybuilder from the 60's and 70's on posing and performing. We go 3 times a week for over 2 hours with a lot of emphasis on stretching and movement. I have no idea what the promoters, judges, or audience will think next year but I am confident that the purist like yourself will appreciate my interpretation and honoring of classic bodybuilding.

My stats I am 5'11 and I competed this year @ 211 208 and last show 203

in 2008 my first under Phil I competed @ 195

I stay fairly lean in the offseason and usually walk the earth from anywhere between 225 and 212 the lower weights if I am doing some type of gig. Right now I am embarrassed to say I have ballooned to 240LBS from the 203LBS that I was on Aug 29. I have started dieting this week though as I have some upcoming gigs.

Thanks again I appreciate your kind comments

damn tony great shots! I especially like the 4th one down (next to last one posted) great shot bro!

Brad thanks man. Hey I hope you compete in Nationals this year. Marilyn and I are going to try and attend as it is only a few hours drive from where we live. I know you will be busy and all but I would love to meet you and shake your hand.

Hey, you look so handsome!

Thanks Ricky but you know good photographers can make anybody look pretty...hahahaha


Once again thanks for all the nice comments.

Thanks Chris but I don't look very classic right now 240+ not a good look for me.

Get back on the wagon and make somemore progress no more slacking I want you to look even better then you did the last time I saw you. As far as Jax I am definately coming up for my Mothers birthday the weekend of Nov 15 I don't have any plans to come up earlier but you never know my kids sometimes twist my arm as they love to come to Jax.

I remember reading something about North American Bodies on Mayhem a while back. Pics are cool just be sure who you do them with & where they will be posted.

Hey Thanks G for the heads up. I am an older guy so my experience might be a little different then the young guys. Everyone I have dealt with on the site has been really professional. The photoshoot was on the up and up in other words they didn't ask me to do anything more then the usual classic posing stuff. My wife Marilyn and I have somewhat developed a friendship with the photographer Kelvin. He attends a lot of the shows and he is always working really hard.

 

[Designbuilt]

Those are great Tony! Very nice classical poses, and good photography too, it's good to have pics of yourself at your best, especially some as professional as these.

 

[STEVO 47]

I swear if I was gay I'd stalk you like a lion on a gazelle...just kiddin.
Seriously you look great keep up the good work. And nice pictures too.

 

[7_Deadly_Sins]

You forgot one. You know which one, haha.
You look great dude! I hope you compete next year too!

 

[Shelby]
