Weight: 148.0 I lost a bit of control over my contest diet this weekend when I flew from Birmingham to Cape Cod to judge a bodybuilding contest. There was no way I could maintain my strict diet during prejudging and the evening show, the after party and traveling to and from the airports.

Tuesday, April 22, 2008, 7 Weeks Until My Guest Poser Appearance at the 2008 NGA Carolina Night of Champions, Greensboro, NC and 8 Weeks Until the 2008 FAME World Championships and Pro Show Down, Toronto, Canada

Weight: 146.6 pounds-back on track with my contest prep diet.

Today my training partner and I started a new Body Comp workout plan that will take me to my contest in eight weeks. It's designed for upper and lower body work in each session, lifting heavy weights with little rest between sets.

We did dead lifts, lunges, lats pull downs, seated rows, dumb bell curls, incline dumb bell bench press and a few other fun exercises. We finished with 20 minutes of cardio and left the gym floor feeling pretty well drained.

I have added boxing (gloves against pads) to my Personal Training regimen for my clients at the YMCA. My clients love the change. Some of them have never strapped on a pair of boxing gloves. Boxing is a great aerobic exercise.

Friday, May 9, 2008, 4 Weeks Until My Guest Poser Appearance at the 2008 N.G.A. Carolina Night of Champions, Greensboro, NC and 5 Weeks Until the 2008 FAME World Championships and Pro Show Down, Toronto, Canada.

Weight: 145.4 - 8.2% body fat (down from 9.3% on 4/28)

I have a cold. I caught it at the Y for sure. Lots of sick people working out and as much as I tried to stay sanitary, I got hit. I took yesterday off from training, but not work. I did a light workout today and also went to work as a Personal Trainer at the Y. I had no choice. If I don't train clients, I don't get paid. I told all of my clients I was "sick" and we kept our distance and still got the job done.

My training partner and I did light shoulders and biceps this morning. I will be back on my rigorous training schedule on Monday.

These shots were taken today. I am tracking well for my contest prep and believe I will come in at around 5-6% body fat for my pro show on June 14th.

Friday & Saturday, May 23 and 24, 2008, The 2008 NGA Magic City Bodybuilding and Figure Championships, Hoover (Birmingham), Alabama


A full house greeted the men and women athletes at the Hoover High School Auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama on Saturday for the first-ever natural bodybuilding and figure competition held in this city. Hoover High School is famous for the MTV series "Two-A-Days," which was shot on location at the school.


On Friday evening, the athletes checked in at the Better Fitness Nutrition Center in Pelham, a store owned by the show's promoter, Jason Thornton. The athlete's that needed it were weighed to determine their class and everyone took a urinalysis test to determine their seven-year drug-free status. The NGA requires a seven-year period from use of illegal muscle enhancing drugs.

On Saturday, Laura Tourtellot, affectionately known in the body-building world as "Turtle," started Prejudging at 11:15 AM with the Teen Class. This was followed by Men's Novice, Men's Masters, Women's Figure and the Open Men's classes. Laura kept things moving and we were finished with the morning session by 1 PM.


The Athletes returned to the Hoover Auditorium for a 4:30 meeting and then prepared for the 6:15 PM start of the Evening Show. NGA Master Pro, Scott "Old Navy" Hults kicked off the proceedings with an a capella singing of our National Anthem. He also judged the show, along with Guest Poser, NGA Pro Figure Nicole Weeks. All of the competitors brought their best to the stage in hopes of winning a coveted NGA Pro Card. Two athletes won their card that night: Eddy Smith, the Open Men's Middleweight Champion and Adrianne Egan, the Women's Figure Champion. Best Poser went to Lightweight Champion, Kennett Washington, who traveled from South Carolina for the show.


Feedback from several competitors and from the audience was very positive. The enthusiastic crowd enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and obvious camaraderie of a drug-free competition and to a person, the athletes vowed to return next year to have a go at the 2009 NGA Magic City Bodybuilding and Figure Championship, which promises to be a much bigger event.
