| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Thursday It doesn't get any better than this. Dave and I are having a great time being very intense. We are lifting more than ever and are laughing at each other as we complete our sets. This is a lot of fun. We are working our butts off in preparation for our next contests. Today we banged shoulders and biceps. We started with seated barbell presses and then did dumb bell front and side raises. We finished shoulders with shoulder raises and a strong delts workout with over head cable pulls and over head cable rows. For biceps we "worked the dumbbell rack," doing 10 seated single arm curls with 30s, 25s, 20s, 15s and 10s. We did not rest between sets until we had completed the 50 reps. Then we repeated the 50 reps exercise with the other arm. We ended our biceps workout with preacher curls, using a 40 pound barbell setup. We did three 10 rep sets very slowly, squeezing the bicep at the top and doing negatives on the way down. Burn, baby, burn! We ended our workout with two ab exercises.

| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Friday, March 3, 2006 This is Dave's 27th birthday. I gave him a peanut/chocolate bar, which we shared before beginning our workout. Then I made him pay for eating a peanut/chocolate bar while in training. Ha, ha. We did legs and calves, starting with Old Navy Calve Squats, using 45's then adding a 25 and then another 25 for three 10 rep sets. We immediately went to the ham string curl machine where we did three sets of curls with negatives on the way down. We followed that with three sets of extensions, including negatives, seated hams curls, adductors and abductors. We then did seated calves raises, with negatives and finished with 15 minutes of thread mill. It was a great workout week. Saturday, March 4, 2006 Last evening, I joined Dave's family for dinner at a restaurant to celebrate his 27th birthday. He was actually surprised when he and his mom and dad showed up and his wife, brother, sister-in-law, their children and some close friends and their wives were waiting for him. He had expected to have dinner with his wife, baby daughter and parents. There were 17 of us. Dave has a great family who all are supportive of his training for bodybuilding competitions. He will have a big cheering section at the 2006 SNBF WNSO FAME Georgia Open (tested) on April 1st in Marietta, where he hopes to win the Overall and his Pro Card in this natural organization. Today I went to the gym to do 50 minutes on the tread mill and some hanging leg raises for my abs. It's tough to get that kind of cardio workout in during the week. Dave and I only have about 90 minutes of training time each day and we usually work two body parts and then do abs and cardio. On Friday morning, Dave weighed 200 pounds even. I weighed 142.8. Dave doesn't have to worry about weight for the April 1st show because he will enter a height class (Open Men's Tall). I still have to watch my weight because I am competing in two weeks at the NPC Northern Kentucky as a Bantam Weight (143.25) and need to come in under the maximum allowed. I will compete in the Open Men's Short Class on April 1. Maybe Dave and I will be competing for the Overall. Wouldn't that be cool? Monday, March 6, 2006 Dave and I were both tired today in the gym. He had to work all weekend and I had to do a lot of extra stuff around my house as my wife was in California visiting our daughter at college. I also stayed up late watching the Academy Awards Sunday night. What a waste of time. I got up at 4:30 this morning and was in the gym by 6:10. We had a hard back and biceps workout, including three 10 rep sets of seated rows, seated pull downs, dumb bell lat pulls and lean-over back flies. For biceps we did incline dumb bell curls and 21s. We ended our session with hanging leg raises for abs and tread mill or cardio. Dave weighed 202 this morning and I weighed 141.8. Over the weekend, Dave received an email from the WNSO FAME SNBF Georgia Open saying he was no longer eligible to compete in that organization as a Novice after his First Place finish at the 2006 NPC Atlantic USA last week. So, Dave will compete in the Open Men's Tall Class in that competition on April 1st. I will still compete as a Open Men's Short and Master's Men 60+.

| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Wednesday Today Dave and I hit it hard on chest and triceps. Because we like to change our routine each week, we focused on the bar bell bench today. Last Wednesday we used chest press machines and the week before we worked chest with dumb bells. We did three sets of 10 reps of flat, incline and decline presses using pretty heavy weights. We supersetted each set with 10 dips, which helped serve as a triceps workout. We did cable flys for chest and seated triceps push-downs to counteract the triceps dips. Dave and I finished our workout with hanging leg raises for abs and tread mill for cardio. Since next week will be my last before my next contest, I will act more as Dave's Personal Trainer. Our next contest together is the 2006 FAME WNSO SNBF Georgia Open on April 1st.

| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Thursday Today, Dave and I had a positive Negative workout. We did negatives on every set of shoulder and biceps exercises. It's great having a training partner who can stand next to you and apply negative pressure during your lift or drop on each rep. We even did negatives on shrugs. That was interesting. We added negatives on shoulder raises and bar bell curls. After each set of negative reps, we immediately did 10 fast pumps of the same exercise. I think we are trying to kill each other. We laughed our way through a very tough session. Dave and I really enjoy training together and it shows. We work extremely hard but we have a lot of fun at the same time. We did some hanging leg raises (with negatives) and posed after each set. No tread mill today.

| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Friday Today was a solo act for me in the gym. Dave called me at 6:15 this morning to tell me both his and his wife's car were broken into last night and several things were missing. He was waiting for the police to arrive so he could file a report. His gym bag was in the trunk, which they didn't break into, so his smelly socks were left alone. LOL So, I did my last legs and calves workout before the 2006 NPC Northern Kentucky on March 18th. It was a light day.

| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Saturday I practiced my posing and individual posing routine at home this morning and then went to the gym to do 50 minutes on the tread mill. I added 25 slow hanging leg raises for abs. Then I went to the tanning bed for 8 minutes in the Viper (very intense lamps). I will begin my three professionally applied spray tans for the competition on Wednesday. I am at 141.0 and cutting up nicely. Bantam Weight maximum is 143.25. I should be fine.

| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Monday, March 13, 2006 Today was interesting. It's a week before my next contest (this Saturday) and three weeks until Dave and I compete at the 2006 FAME WNSO SNBF Georgia Open in Marietta. This week, I'm on a pump up and pose schedule and Dave is still hitting the weights hard. So for back and biceps, I did some light reps and sets and then loaded Dave up as his Personal Trainer. Poor young man. LOL I helped him by providing several opportunities to add negatives to his sets. He really appreciated that. We ended our session with hanging leg raises for abs and a practice posing session for cardio. Dave came in today at 202.0 and I came in at 141.0. I'm looking forward to returning to the NPC Northern Kentucky. It was my first contest ever and I'm eager to give the competition another go. Tuesday Since it was legs and calves day, I became Dave's Personal Trainer. I don't do legs or calves during the final week before a contest, so I just made the young man suffer and hurt, while I lorded it over his pitiful body. Ha. The kid is awesome. I was able to watch him work with intense interest. The size and shape of Dave's quads, hams and calves are excellent. We (he) did some pretty hard work and then we had a practice posing session, working on our symmetry, mandatory and 60-second pose down, which I expect he will need for the Overall on April 1st in Marietta.

| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Wednesday No let up for either Dave or me today. Even though it's my final contest prep week, Dave and I hit chest and triceps hard. We did decline bar bell bench press and used dumb bells for flat bench and incline bench. We used a pec deck machine for flies. All of our sets were heavy and we supersetted each set with 10 dips. We did lats spread and side chest poses after each set and we finished the workout with 12 minutes of tread mill. I found out there will be about 235 competitors at the 2006 NPC Northern Kentucky on Saturday, making it almost as big as a National contest. My Master's Men 60+ Class will have six competitors. I'm looking forward to a great competition.

| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Thursday Last night, after work, I went for the first of three professionally applied spray tans. I will go again after work today and on Friday morning before I leave for the contest. I came to the gym today looking very dark. Dave just glared at me. Then we broke into laughter and started our workout. He wants to go to the N.KY too, but we decided he needed to continue training for his Pro Card try in two weeks at the 2006 FAME WNSO SNBF Georgia Open (tested) in Marietta, so he is skipping this NPC event. Today we trained shoulders and biceps. Dave used much heavier weights than me, but that's because I am in my last few days before my comp and I need to go light on everything. We did some good shoulder sets, a few biceps exercises and then he "judged" me through a posing session. I repaid the service and "judged" him through one and a 60-second pose down. We ended our workout with hanging leg raises and tread mill.

| NGA & IDFA Master Pro | Friday I woke up at 4 AM this morning. No surprise. I packed for my trip last night, so I shaved, had a cup of coffee and left for the gym, where I met Dave at 6:15. I was Dave's Personal Trainer as we worked his legs and calves. With two weeks to go until his next contest, he is still going heavy with the weights. I left the gym at 7:30 while Dave finished his abs and cardio. I went home, grabbed a quick bite of breakfast (fish and grapefruit) and headed for the tanning salon for my last of three professional Sprays. Shelly at Tanning Source in Birmingham has been getting me ready for contests for the past two years. She knows what I need. A bodybuilder knows, "Once you think you are dark enough, put on two more coats." Shelly thinks "dark" whenever she is spraying me. I left Shelly's at 9:45 and headed for the airport for my 11 AM flight to Kentucky. I will pick up this story later.
