Randy,who posts here as Most_Muscular, is doing both the Over-40 Welterweight class,as well as the Over-50 Middleweights.....................don`t know yet how he placed,but hopefully I`ll be able to post that he won both classes, as that`s the way I see it happening judging by the few pics I`ve seen thus far, which follow below. Welterweight Over-40:

i don't think Randy has much of any weaknesses.. On the back shot...i can't really see any lines in the hams...could be the lighting....but the pic on that is too small to judge. If i was a judge...Randy would definitely be the top.

Thanks for the votes of confidence guys! Yes, I won both the Ove 40 welterweight class and the Over 50 Middleweight Class! It was a long journey but an awesome experience. I thank everyone for their words of encouragement and support, especially my family and friends who could attend the show. It means so much to look down and see them smiling in the crowd and yelling their words of encouragement.
Sure it would have been nice to win one of the available Pro Cards but winning two National titles is a dream in itself. I now have four National Titles in four different weight classes. Tim, since you seem to be up on the bodybuilding history, can you recall anyone who has done a similar accomplishment?
The show didn't get done until 1:30 a.m. so it was a very long night. We found a pizza place open and chilled their for an hour and I've already gone throught the breakfast buffet in the hotel. I think I'm ready to step on stage as a lightheavyweight now.

It was nice to finally meet both Hoopie and Gerry T.
Thank you all for your kind words!
Successful bodybuilding is really nutured around the type of support you can get from others. A quick "lookin' good" or "keep at it" comment can give you just the extra effort you need to finish that extra rep or continue on your quest. If you feel like you're faltering, it is those around you that help lift you up so you can continue. The thanks for these small gestures might not always be said, but it is always felt by those of us who at times struggle under the weights.
I thank all you again for your comments and encouragement.
1400total... I met Dave Tuttle when I last competed in 2003 and we had another long discussion again this year. He is truly a class act. I had no idea he wrote those articles! Please give him my best when you speak to him next.

Spoke with Randy and he is truly a class act on and off stage. Randy has now won national level class titles in 4 different weight categories (bantam, light, welter and middle). Far as I know, that has never been done before and may never be duplicated!!
Congrats again, Randy!
