I agree with Alex but how come you are not a Pro now Tenny? Take it as a compliment bro. You look damn unbelievable at 20. Did you had anyone doing your diet and prep or did you learn it yourself?

well.....i had been training since i was 13yo
mostly arms and bench press....then lost interest
then again in high school, then i chased girls
then again.......then at 18 i got serious
and this was the result after 2 years of training
with a bunch of older powerlifters

they saw me tearing shit up in there, day in and day out
then they took me in.....

Chef....kids man!!!!!.....its tough bro
i still have time....i guess

anyway....i've ALWAYS done everything myself
learning early what i could and couldnt do as far as prep

we'll see what happens.....maybe i can get something flowing again
after this pec heals up

[Emery]

Holy shit Tenny!!! I guess some guys are just genetic freaks and then their's the rest of us! Not to take away from your hard work... But a lot of us could put years of bodybuilding in and not come close to that pic!

Awesome brother!!!

Tenny, what was the first show you competed in...how did it go..what was it like at the time?

 

[tenny]

Tenny, what was the first show you competed in...how did it go..what was it like at the time?

first show was maybe 2 and half, 3 years?? after that pic was takin
(i'll try to find a pic)......i weighed-in 206, won the novice overall
it was the 2000 tennessee state

Frank roberson (now IFBB pro) won the open heavy and overall
lol....he was the winner going in

i remember the judges telling me to do the open
and i was scared....lol.....so i did the novice only
i remember everybody looked HUGE and i felt out of place
until i saw the pics and i blew everybody out the water

as it ended up....after the show, i had about 100 people
tell me i would have had Frankie boy by the balls....lol

oh well.....i learned a lesson at my first show

never judge someone backstage, or judge someone with their clothes on
it ALL means dick until you get on stage

thanks alot John

Tenny, can you give an example of the type of pl rountine you did back in the day? We've talked about this a bit before thru pm but I don't recall you going much into detail how you trained back then. Just a general outline, nothing detailed if ya have the time? I train a pl/bb hybrid type routine and just competed 6 wks ago in a bb comp.... now getting ready to do a regional pl meet in a few weeks and looking to change up training for a bit.... love to hear any advice.. as I know you've said on occasion you trained w/ some pretty experienced pl at the time. thanks

Oh yeah, as you already know you are a beast! Get that pec healed up and if time/family/etc. allows get back to the stage and do some damage!!!

yea man.....i want to see the stage pics....E-mail them to me if you want to

well....back then it was bench day (not chest day)
and squat day (not leg day)....and deadlift day (not back day)
totally different way of training and thinking, which now i have evolved it
alittle but STILL do some of the same things today

bench day was flat barbell EVERYTIME first thing
then inclines then declines....almost every workout for years...3 sets each
lol....they would laugh at me for posing in the mirror and for doing (extra)
sets of cables and flys and shit like that...they called me pretty boy

squat day was about 10 sets of squats
then sometimes leg press after....sometimes workouts were over 2 hours

deads day was about 10 sets of deadlifts and usally lat pulldowns or chins
at the end.....deadlift day was my fav. 10am on sundays
the gym opened at noon they ALL had a set of keys
we all came in early, cranked up AC/DC and went to town till noon
lol....it got pretty intense.....nothing like a bunch of fucking grown men
screaming and spitting and puking....lol, one guy would ONLY pull deads
in his underwear and barefeet

good times.....good times
