Pics from 7-9-05 Contest...

[fearnofish]

I weighed in at 222 down from 285. Had been doing 18-21 sets a body part. Suffered from all the sets. Partially tore my left bicep 3 weeks out and had other joint issues. I took 2nd in the Open Heavys and 2nd in the Masters at 46 years old. Gonna train like Lats buddy and Phil Hernon all fall and winter to get ready for the Emerald Cup where I placed 8th in April. If you weren't at the prejudging then all you got to see was me sashay out and back. That was my first show in 18 years.

It's great to see someone give it a run after being away for some time; however, age isn't really an issue as there are many guys competing around the same age. Did you have someone helping you at the time? This board should be of much help to you. Your condition needs much improvement and the color isn't complimenting your physique. Did you use Dream Tan? If you need any help give me a PM.

It's good to see others enjoying the sport later in life. Keep us posted on your progress.

I had 6 coats of spray on Pro-tan from an airless sprayer and two coats of dream tan red. I wasn't happy with my color either. That is the worst part of a show using all that chit for color. The black guys have got it easy!

Steakhelmet,
I won this show in 1987! So it has been 18 years! I then had the hard luck story of nasty marriage and divorce, handicapped child, etc. I now have custody of my daughter and have a great wife that loves everything about the life of a bodybuilder, although the test is kinda hard on her, pardon the pun Heres a pic of us after the show.

Welcome to the board fellow ol' timer

You look great and that was a very tough class to say the least. There were several members from this board at the Cup, either in the crowd (like me and Jethro) or on stage, some winning their respective class (Dangkolo - SuperHW, jonnyO - HW and others that did VERY well in their class).

I was probably there in 1987 - those were the days when I was competing (but not at Emerald level). So I probably saw you then also!

If I'd have seen your wife, I'd remember. I love pretty redheads

Welcome abourd bro. Emerald Cup is a very fun show, the best of luck to you next year!

In 1987 I won the Eastern Washington overall bodybuilding championship. Not the Emerald cup. Those pictures are from the 2005 Eastern show on 7-9-05. I've begged Phil Hernon to help me get ready for the 2006 Emerald cup. I need the help from the wise guru. My wife is not a true redhead
