Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - Seven Weeks Until the 2009 FAME Master Pro World Championships, Montreal, Canada, June 13
Weight: 155.6 pounds
I turned 66 today and celebrated the event in the gym, where I did 66 pull ups, 66 push ups, 66 crunches and 66 sit ups. I also trained seven clients with one-hour personal training sessions, so I kept busy. My family took me for dinner to the Mellow Mushroom in Birmingham for a cheat meal, which I enjoyed, including a hunk of chocolate cake (my bad). I loved every bite. Now, it’s back to the contest diet. I have about seven pounds to go to be ready for the stage on June 13. I’m tracking well and feel I will look my best at my 28th show and fifth Pro Contest.

Saturday, April 18, 2009, Eight Weeks Until The FAME Pro Masters World Championships, Montreal, Canada, June 13
Weight: 156.0
It’s show time. Two months to go and I’m in my Game Day contest prep mode. I’m ready to Lock and Load and Take Dead Aim at the Prize. With eight weeks to go, I’m about eight pounds from my stage weight. I will spend the next two months lifting hard, increasing my cardio and eating clean. I will be ready. As the title of my Journal states, I have been “Getting My Kicks On Route 66,” and I will be 66 years-old on April 28th. I will be in the best shape of my life on my birthday and I will be in better shape on June 13 in Montreal.

Sunday, April 12, 2009, Nine Weeks Until the 2009 FAME Master Pro World Championships, Montreal, Canada, June 13
Weight: 156.0 Pounds
I spent Saturday with my athlete, Todd Sayers, 42, a Chiropractor, who competed in his first contest, the 2009 NPC Vulcan Classic in Birmingham, Alabama. I have been coaching Todd since last July and our work included weight training, cardio, contest diet and posing. At 163.5 pounds and 5.3% body fat, Todd was ready on Saturday morning when he stepped up against seven other Masters 40+ men. He also competed in the Open Men’s Middleweight Class against three younger athletes. They only awarded trophies to the Top Three in each class. Todd’s conditioning was spot on and his posing was among the best in each class. Todd placed Third in the Masters 40+ Class, sending five other men home with no awards. He also placed Third in the Open Men’s Middleweight Class. The winner of the Middleweight Class went on to win the Overall. All in all, it was a great experience for Todd and very satisfying results for both of us. Congratulations, Todd. Nice work, Warrior. Now, enjoy your Easter Sunday meal.

Tuesday April 7, 2009 - 10 Weeks Until the 2009 FAME Master Pro World Championships, Montreal, Canada, June 13
Weight: 157 pounds
My training is going well for my June 13th contest, but this week I am focusing on helping one of my athletes prepare for the 2009 NPC Vulcan Bodybuilding and Figure Championships in Birmingham, Alabama on Saturday, April 11. Todd is 42, a lightweight/middleweight (not sure yet), who will compete in the Novice, Open Weight Class and Masters 40+. I have been training Todd since last July and at 162 pounds today, he is hard, lean, cut and very muscular. I’m sure he will do well in his first show. In addition to his contest prep, we have been working on his posing and posing routine. He is ready to step onto the stage today. Tomorrow will be our last work out and then we will practice posing during our training sessions on Thursday and Friday. I will go with him and have a back stage trainer’s pass so I can help him with his final prep. I competed in this show last year and placed 2nd in Open Men’s Lightweight and won the Masters 60+. I hope Todd is able to win his weight class, the Masters 40+ and the Novice.
