2006 OCB Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness
Championship, Cape Cod, MA, April 29

Sully's show was a Ton of Fun

Sean and Deb Sullivan, co-promoters of the 3rd Annual "Spirit of America Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness Championship, ran an outstanding competition on Saturday. Ninety-nine men and women athletes showed up, making it the biggest OCB event ever.

The "Spirit of America" was held in the auditorium at the Mattacheese Middle School in Yarmouth, MA. The stage was large and as befits the theme was grandly decorated with the Stars and Stripes. Backstage was a little crowded because the area doubles as the school's band room and the competitors had to work around music instruments and drum sets. Nevertheless, Sully and his crew created a good pump up area, set up several full-length mirrors and covered the floor with paper so there were no restrictions about applying tanning oil or spray.

Most of the competitors checked in at the host hotel on Friday between 4 - 8:30 where we were given our competitor's numbers, polygraph test, tee shirts and a goodie bag of supplements and treats.

Prejudging

On Saturday we arrived at the venue for the 9 AM meeting and bodybuilder's weigh-in. After the weigh-in, Sully set the Men's and Women's Bodybuilding classes. I was in the Open Men's Class I, with a maximum weight of 150 pounds. There were six of us in this class. Sully did it this way to make the class sizes more even.

Sully and his great crew were still making final stage and lighting changes so the meeting started a little late. But, Sully made up most of the time by keeping the meeting short. We then went back stage to prep and found that Sully had supplied bottled water, fruit, snacks and a pair of "Stars and Stripes" flip-flops for us to wear and keep. He posted the Schedule of Events several places back stage and we looked to the men and women facilitators to get us where we belonged. They were very helpful and efficient.

I competed in the Men's Open Lightweight (Class I), the Men's Master 50+ Class and the Men's Master 60+ Class.

Everyone at the competition was upbeat and positive. There was lots of good-natured flexing and comparing going on. There wasn't a bad body in the house...but there were some BAD BODIES. Whew. Great muscularity, rock-hard abs, huge quads and peaked biceps. The Red Cross would have loved the veins.

With the huge number of competitors the pre-judging was a little long, the last class judged having little time to eat, rest, recharge and return for the 4 PM start of the Night Show. But we all managed to make do with the time we had and were on hand for the start.

Night Show

Sean and Deb's nine year old daughter, Kayla, opened the Show with a nice "a capella" singing of our National Anthem. She was followed by an outstanding guest poser, NGA Pro, Will Usher. Unlike the NPC, it was nice watching Will Usher work instead of the usual off season, out of shape fat slobs that organization puts in front of audiences.

As I said earlier, the bodybuilders were superb and the fitness and figure women were spectacular. Even some of us bodybuilders stopped looking at ourselves in the mirror for a few seconds so we could admire the beautiful ladies.

I like the way the SOA handled the individual posing routines. We went on stage and presented our routine according to our competitor's number. I was number 42 and did my "16 Tons" salute to the fallen West Virginia miners to an appreciative audience.

After the intermission, Sean presented an equally good guest poser, Dave Lovelace, last year's SOA Champion and now a Pro. Both men were a pleasure to watch.. Then came the moment the audience and contestants were waiting for, the Award Ceremony.

Awards Ceremony

Against a super class of Men's Open Lightweights, I placed sixth. No argument from me. Each man was a warrior and I was in the best shape of my life. Every one of my "sons" did their "dad" proud. The average age of the five winners was 26.

I was more successful in my two age classes, taking Second in Men's Master 50+ and winning the Men's Master 60+. I had a great time in the pose down against the winners of the 50+ Class and the winners of the two 40+ Classes, which was won by one of the 40+.

The SOA was my 10th bodybuilding competition. For me, it was the best show I've ever done. I have now won a total of 18 bodybuilding trophies.

Post Party

After the contest, we gathered at a local Mexican restaurant for an alcohol and carb load. Sully and Deb provided the start-up buffet snacks and we enjoyed sitting around in our smelly, oily, tanned state, smiling, laughing, high-fiveing and eating. Deb gave Sully a birthday cake (he turned 41 the same day I turned 63) large enough to share with everyone so we added a sugar load to our feast. The party broke up at around 1:30 AM.

Being a West Virginian myself, we are damn proud and honored by you man. I don't know any of the miners that have died or have been injured this year, but I am sure that every damn one of them would be honored!

Congrats buddy, sounds like a first rate show!

Thats my proof for the old comment.

But I have great respect for because of what you are doing and the shape you are in. You probably get alot of attention from the ladies of your age.

I know when I see a woman over 40 who is in shape I start to salivate. Why because its sad that it is a rare thing, but awsome sight.

Great conditioning :clap:

Hahaha. I have also placed Third in Open Men's Short Classes twice, Third in Novice Lightweights once and won the Open Men's Bantam Weight Class in an NPC contest once. All of these wins were against men in their 20s.

You are only as old as you feel. I feel about 30. But, maybe to you, that's old too. LOL
