Blast from the past-1988 Teen Ohio

[Mrbig7]

Ok, I've been referring to this show periodically, but since I don't have a scanner, I had to take pictures of the pictures I have. Not the greatest quality, but something, nonetheless. This was the only show I ever did. It was the 1988 NPC Teen Ohio.. I was 1 month shy of my eighteenth birthday & had been weight training about 3 years. I started my diet at 186 lbs & I weighed in 10 weeks later at a whopping 143 lbs at 5'5".. My waist was 26 3/4. I was also(and still am) 100% drug free. Now that I'm back on track, my hope is to do the the 2006 NPC Natural Ohio in April of next year. Anyway, enough rambling.. Here's the pics:

you should've won on virtue of that haircut alone! but seriously, looked pretty good for a teen competitor, good condition in that regard especially

[Mrbig7]

Thanks Sock!! I knew I could count on you to help entertain me while I'm working tonight!

You looked great Terry!! :Rocker Dude:

There is no doubt in my mind that you WILL regain that condition again by next year.

Of course, you will be bigger, with more muscle maturity, so you should look even better by then.

Great potential for quad development............I wish I had it !! :Bad Day:

The pics show that you had dedication and
will to acheive a great physique. I am sure you still have
that power to get back on stage in 2006. I will see you there I'm sure. Keep it up.

Terry, dude PM me. Did you ever compete in western PA? I did the teen Pgh in 87 and 88, (as well as every other show in the area) Dude you look familiar.

By the way the progress your making now is awe-inspiring! Keep up the hard work.

I'm sure your body is feeling great right now due to the great improvements you made

Terry,
You looked great in those pics---and you'll get there again ---this time with muscle maturity as well. Keep working hard,bro---all it takes is time. Man, I remember when I was that young and I had that haircut, too!! ;D ;D

[Mrbig7]

Thanks for the nice words, guys! I'm definitely on the comeback trail & have high hopes of surpassing that condition next spring. I especially want to make sure my legs are MUCH leaner. That's one area I think hurt me b/c there was such a contrast in the conditioning of my upper body & legs. I figure if I get somewhat lean THIS year & maintain some hardness all winter, I'll be in a prime position to surpass my all time best shape, even if it is 18 years later! I guess better late than NEVER.....

Your potential was obvious even then, Terry. Thanks for sharing those photos. You should look incredible by next year. Good luck!

[Liftingchic]

Wow.. tons and tons of potential... Never give up on your dreams!
