Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 44 Days Until My Next Contest

Today I continued my three sets-to-failure exercise plan. In each exercise, I picked a weight where I failed at 6 reps on set one, 12 reps on set two and 25 reps on set three. I did shoulders, back and biceps sets, including shoulder presses, shrugs, lats pull downs, laterals, dumb bell biceps curls, machine curls, and cable curls. I ended the session with palms facing me pull ups, hanging leg raises and slant board sit ups. This was a solid, pumped workout.

Friday, May 18, 2007 - Six Weeks Until My Next Contest

I did my second legs and calves workout of the week, using different equipment than I did on Tuesday. My three-sets-to-failure exercises included seated leg press, lunges, seated ham curls, extensions, and standing calve raises. My sets were 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM. Tough Stuff.

Monday, May 21, 2007 - 40 Days Until My Next Contest

I was a judge on Saturday for the 2007 FAME SNBF Capital Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships in Montgomery, Alabama. It was a pro qualifier and my third contest judging opportunity. The Capital Classic is a good show. We had 44 very competitive athletes with competition in nearly every class. My scores were very much in line with the other judges. The only area I need to work on as a judge is Figure, but I'm learning. And, as a judge, I really learn a lot that is helpful to me in my competitions. I get a different perspective from the other side of the lights.

With 40 days to go until the 2007 NPA Masters Universe in Ft. Lee, VA, I am back on my contest prep diet. I enjoyed the week off after my last show on May 12th.

Today I continued the 6 RM, 12 RM, 24 RM sets to failure exercises. It was chest and triceps day and I did incline dumb bell flies, flat bench dumb bell flies and decline dumb bell flies. I also did pec deck and ended the session with 50 push ups and 50 slant board crunches.

May 22, 2007 - 39 Days Until My Next Contest

It was legs and calves day as I continued my 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM three-sets to failure on each exercise workout plan. I know this is working because my chest and triceps are sore from yesterday's session. Today I did squats, lunges, extensions, ham curls and calve raises. I ended the session with a short, moderate, elevated tread mill run.

I'm leaving Birmingham, Alabama this morning for New York City on business through Friday. I have already checked out the hotel and it has a good gym. I'll report daily on my workouts from The Big Apple.

Wednesday, May 23, 2007, 38 Days Until My Next Show

I am in Brooklyn, New York attending a conference. The gym at the Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge Hotel is excellent. It is a private club that offers guest memberships to hotel guests at no charge. The gym is well equipped. One of my Distance Training clients from California, Greg Tarczynski, a professional photographer, is covering the conference. It gives me the opportunity to train with Greg, one-on-one, today, Thursday and Friday. It's good to be able to work with one of my clients instead of offering advice by cell phone, emails and chat.

Today Greg and I worked chest, triceps and abs. He enjoyed the 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM sets. We ended the session with a tread mill run. Tomorrow we will hit back and biceps.

Thursday, May 24, 2007 - Brooklyn, New York

My training client, Greg, and I had a great workout in the Marriott At The Brooklyn Bridge hotel gym. We did several sets of 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM back, shoulder and biceps exercises. We did lats pull downs, low rows, high rows and machine shoulder presses and shrugs. For biceps, we did cable curls and worked the rack with 10 X 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 pound seated dumb bell curls. We ended the session with some moderate tread mill work and abs crunches. Tomorrow, our last day together, we will work legs and calves. It's a little hard staying on a strict diet while attending a business conference, but we are trying.

Friday, May 25, 2007 - Check In At My Next Contest Is Five Weeks From Today

I arrived back in Birmingham, Alabama from New York City at 5 PM Central time today. Both the New York and Birmingham Airports were crowded due to the Memorial Day weekend travel. I'm glad I beat the rush.

I worked out with my training client, Greg, early this morning before I left for the airport. We had a strong legs and calves training session, including squats, lunges, extensions, ham curls and seated calve raises. I will take the weekend off and hit the gym on Monday morning as I begin a slow five-week contest diet to prepare for the 2007 NPA Masters Universe in Ft. Lee, Virginia on June 30.

Monday, May 28, 2007, Memorial Day (US)

I met my friend and fellow NGA & IDFA Pro, John Rossman, in the gym today and we fooled around with chest, back and triceps. It was mostly laughing and goofing. Then we went to the California Pizza Kitchen for a Carb Load. It was a nice way to spend part of Memorial Day. I'll get back to being serious tomorrow.

Tuesday, May 29, 2007, 32 Days Until My Next Contest

Today I focused on 6 RM, 12 RM and 25 RM legs and calves exercises. I completed sets of squats, leg presses, extensions, ham curls, abductors and adductors and weighted seated calve raises. I ended the session with 50 slow, hard, slant board crunches, holding at the top of each crunch with a squeeze. With a little over a month to go until my first contest, I am basically ready. I will harden up and lean up a bit with diet and cardio as the time to compete nears.

Wednesday, May 30, 2007, 30 Days Until I Check In For My Next Contest

Today was a cardio and abs day. I did a moderate elevated tread mill session, and for abs, hanging leg lifts and slant board crunches. I also did a few practice posing rounds, to work on holding my poses hard without shaking. Tomorrow I will work on shoulders, back and biceps. With a month to go until my next show, I'm staying tight.

Friday, June 1, 2007, 28 Days Until I Check In At My Next Contest

Today I had a great "Reps To Failure" (RM) legs and calves workout. I completed three sets each of squats, lunges, leg extensions, ham curls, calve extensions and calve raises.

As the 2006 FAME WNSO Men's Masters 60+ World Champion, I have been invited to Toronto next weekend (June 8, 9 & 10) to be Guest Poser at the 2007 FAME WNSO Canadian National Championships.

Monday, June 4, 2007, 25 Days Until I Check In For My Next Contest.

In preparation for my Guest Posing appearance next weekend at the 2007 FAME WNSO Canadian National Championships in Toronto, I began a week of modified-contest prep diet and training.

I did a pre-judging pump up and posing practice. I also did some light circuit weight training, using light weights and more reps (15-25). Then I did a moderate tread mill session followed by an abs workout.

I weigh 151.0, about a pound from my contest weight. Since I am Guest Posing and not competing, I will not do as much "shredding" work as I normally do for a bodybuilding competition, Nevertheless, I will come in hard and lean for my two Guest Posing stints (one before the Masters and one before the Pros individual posing routines).

Wednesday, June 6, 2007, Three Days Until My Guest Posing Appearance at the FAME WNSO Worlds.

After a re-feed last night, I woke up this morning weighing 150.2, so I'm back on track. I did some quads extensions and flexes with light weights and a upper body circuit workout, with light weights in the 15-20 rep range. Then I did a moderate tread mill walk for cardio and a practice posing session, to work on my four routines for the Toronto show on Saturday.

Thursday, June 7, 2007, Two Days Until My Guest Posing Appearance at the FAME WNSO Worlds in Toronto

I spent my time at the gym today doing 10 sets of 30 reps of leg flexes and then I worked on my posing routines for this weekend's show in Canada. Last night I did a full body shave and exfoliation. I will have one professional spray tan applied this evening and then shower it off on Friday. It will leave me with a good base for my Dream Tan II application at the venue. I leave for Toronto at 6:30 AM on Saturday and arrive at noon. My first routine will happen at around 4:30 PM. I sure hope the plane isn't late. The reason I'm not leaving for Canada on Friday is that my wife and I have tickets for a Chicago concert in Birmingham that night. We have our priorities in order. LOL

FAME WNSO Reaches Out to Senior Athletes
Establishes a Master Pro Division for Bodybuilding and Fitness Competitors
Awards 1st WNSO Master Pro Card to Scott “Old Navy” Hults


June 10, 2007, Toronto, Canada (FAME) – For the past 10 years, the World Natural Sports Organization, WNSO, has been a leader in providing natural, drug-free competitions for bodybuilding, fitness, model and figure athletes. The organization offers both amateur and professional level contests throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

The husband and wife team of Jeffrey Kippel and Mindy Blackstien cofounders of the WNSO, also publish the federations magazine, FAME. Last year, because of the increased interest in modeling, The WNSO began a Muscle Model Division.

Continuing to look for ways to better serve their FAME athletes, the two turned their attention to the senior class and at this years FAME National Championships named the first ever WNSO Master Pro bodybuilder.

Kippel and Blackstien selected for this honor a senior US bodybuilder from Alabama, Scott “Old Navy” Hults, who is the 64 year-old 2006 FAME WNSO Men’s Masters 60+ World Champion.

He was selected to receive his WNSO Master Pro card as the representative Champion from last years FAME Worlds. Hults attended this years event and appeared on stage as Guest Poser during the amateur competition and again at the evening Pro show.

At the Pro show, the promoters introduced “Old Navy” as the 2006 Masters 60+ Champion and on stage, awarded him the first WNSO Master Pro Card as they announced the launching of the new WNSO Masters Pro Division.

“I am honored to be selected as the first WNSO Master Pro. I hope I can inspire those who believe age is a statistic, not a burden,” Hults said.
The WNSO will offer its first Master Pro competition at the 2007 FAME North American and US National Championships in Miami, FL, November 2-4. Plans are for there to be one or more Master Pro competitions per year in the US and in Canada, and later in other countries. The Men’s body building will be split into two age groups, 40-55 and 55+. The women's Master Pros will be 35+.

In order to establish a stable of Master Pros, the WNSO will award a WNSO Master Pro Card to the winners of the Men’s Masters 40+, 50+ and 60+ FAME World Championships from 2005 and 2006 and the winners of the Women's Masters Class for those years. The winners of the Men’s and Women's Masters classes that had five or more competitors in this years FAME National Championship show also earned WNSO Master Pro Cards

Tuesday, June 12, 2007, 18 Days Until the 2007 NPA Masters Universe in Ft. Lee, VA

I had a great time last weekend as Guest Poser at the 2007 FAME WNSO National Championships in Toronto. Here is a link to some photos from my Posing Routines:

Body Building Senior Photo Gallery 2007

This morning I got back to the business of preparing for my next contest, in less than three weeks. I did a heavy legs workout (squats, hack machine, extensions, ham curls, adduction, abduction and seated and standing calve raises. I concentrated on a slow pace with a hard squeeze at the top of each rep and a slow release for negative action. I ended the session with some abs work and then got my cardio in by changing a flat tire on my truck.

Wednesday, June 13, 2007, 17 Days Until My Next Contest

Today was chest and triceps day and I pulled a workout from my bag that I haven't done in quite a while. Each exercise had three 10 rep sets with progressive weight added to each set. Between each set of every exercise, I did 10 full dips. I did flat bench, incline and decline dumb bell presses, pec deck, triceps pushdowns and extensions. I did a total of 180 dips (18 x 10). I ended the session with 50 slant bench crunches. Fun Stuff.

Thursday, June 14, 2007, 16 Days Until the NPA Masters Universe in Ft. Lee, VA

Body weight: 151.8

I was in the zone today. I worked back, shoulders and biceps with lots of combo sets. My favorite was heavy lats pull downs combined with pull ups. I did five sets of 10 reps each, going back and forth between pulling down and pulling up. Hard Core. I then combined shoulder presses and shrugs, four sets of 10 reps. For biceps, I went heavy (for me) and did 3 sets of 10 reps with 35 pound dumb bells, combined with machine curls (100 pounds) and barbell curls (60 pounds). Sweet.
