What’s up?! :)
My name is Curtis James. I’m a long time bodybuilding fan and weight trainer although I’m fully representing “the skinny guy” as my niche in the world of muscle. I joke that it’s my job to make everyone else look big. I’m 6′1″ and about 180 lbs. Ran cross country and track in high school and wrestled briefly in the 155-pound class where everyone else seemed to be a good six inches shorter and six inches wider than that. After amassing a 0 and 3 record, I moved back to running for my fitness fix.
I’ve met many old school bodybuilders during my nearly 46 years on Earth, including Ron Teufel, Mike and Ray Mentzer, Bill Grant, Larry Scott, Dave Draper, and Mike Katz. Been to the first four Arnold Classics where I had the famous Arnold Polaroid taken each of those years with The Man himself. Got to speak with Lonnie Teper and Jim Lorimer and his wife Jean, too. And I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Yaxeni Oriquen, Victor Martinez, Lenda Murray, Ron Love, Gustavo Badell, Chris Cormier, Troy Alves, and Markus Ruhl over the years as well. I’m looking forward to keeping the sport of bodybuilding a positive part of my life for years to come.
