squats @ 165 #

as part of a killer leg workout!

I know that I am not supposed to weigh myself;
and I know that all scales need to be thrown out the window;
and I know that there are many reasons why one loses or gains weight….

however, all that being said, tonight at Bayshore on the same scale I have been weighing my self for years, I weighed 227 1/2, which is the lowest weight that I have been in 4 or 5 years (my max being 260!) so if we assume that there is some muscle mass gain (which has to be a good assumption, right???) I have gone from 260+lbs and a 46+waist to 227 1/2 and a 40 waist!!!

Saturday after my morning workout I went to the prejudging of the 2008 Mid Atlantic Natural Classic and Fitness Show in East Brunswick, NJ .  This is an NPC natural show.  What a great time…very inspiring to see all these great physiques.

Here’s a link to some pictures…

Bodybuilders are the greatest people in the world…where did they get that bad stereotype.

I sent an e-mail to this guy http://bodybuilding.com/fun/trans_o4016.htm  congratulating him on getting the over 40 Transformation of the Week on bodybuilding.com. He started training at 47 yo and competes at 50! And the very next morning I get this reply…

This guy is in the UK so there is absolutely no profit motive in his offer to help, and not likely that I would take him up on it, but How
cool is that?

By the way, the  good group of people he is talking about includes all the support I get from the guys at bodyspace.com (so would
it kill you to check in and comment once in a while???   http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/fitmike08/ )

Anyway, just thought I would share this.
