Sunday, January 18, 2009 - Two Weeks Until My Photo Shoot
Weight: 158.6
I started my “contest diet” for my end-of-the-month photo shoot on January 1, weighing 166.0 pounds. I have slowly lost a little more than seven pounds and will try to come in on January 30 at around 153-154. This is a great experiment for my actual contest prep for the 2009 FAME Master Pro World Championships in Montreal on June 13. I am in my seventh month of my year off from competing to try to add some needed size, especially in my legs. I weighed 140 the last time I was on stage. I plan to compete next time at no less than 150 pounds.
I’m looking forward to this photo shoot. I will represent a senior bodybuilder in excellent health in this photo essay on aging. The French photographer is well know and does a lot of work for Paris Match magazine, the French version of Vanity Fair, that has commissioned the shoot. According to the casting director who “hired” me, we will be on location in Culver City (Los Angeles) for about eight hours on that Friday, Fun Stuff!

So now you’re a center fold! Good luck. I vowed that my next time on stage would be at 165-170, up 10 to 15 pounds. We’ll see. I’ll be interested in how you’ve done.
