675 lb Squats for Warm Up…

secondfocus — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 08:05:56 +0000

I happened to stop in at the 2008 IPF Masters World Powerlifting Championships over the last week. A competition that brought in 273 competitors from 32 countries around the world, all over 40 years old. It is a lot different from bodybuilding for sure. Like here we have Samuel Archibong from Nigeria who I guess just decided to do a little work out while he was waiting around…

This is backstage and he just did a few reps steadily working his way up to this lift at 675 lbs. And he had no trouble going on up with it and racking the bar himself. I left shortly thereafter; he stayed behind maybe doing something more challenging.

secondfocus — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 06:28:56 +0000

I am at the beach for tomorrow’s bodybuilding competition at Muscle Beach. And it is shaping up to be a big fun day. Lot’s of competitors from around everywhere including Dean Ash who came from England to do the show. Here he is doing an exhibition preview today for the crowd.

There will be a big Labor day crowd at the beach for the end of the Summer, all the Venice Beach color and excitement. And… I happen to know MTV will be at the show doing something special. So come on out and join the fun. And look for me and say Hi!

Another Olympics, But Very Special…

secondfocus — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 06:34:41 +0000

I have been lucky over the years to have been a photographer for the Special Olympics of Southern California. When we talk about the things we overcome with working out and changing our bodies most of us don’t come close to what these very special athletes overcome. I have never experienced a more devoted, enthusiastic and sportsmanlike bunch of people. Here are a few photos from Summer Games…
