Thanks, Tim. My wife and I saw them in Birmingham last year, too. Great brass along with great vocals. We have several CDs of theirs.
I have practiced my four posing routines for this weekend long enough. I need a break. Chicago will be cool.

FAME WNSO Reaches Out to Senior Athletes
Establishes a Master Pro Division for Bodybuilding and Fitness Competitors
Awards 1st WNSO Master Pro Card to Scott “Old Navy” Hults
June 10, 2007, Toronto, Canada (FAME) – For the past 10 years, the World Natural Sports Organization, WNSO, has been a leader in providing natural, drug-free competitions for bodybuilding, fitness, model and figure athletes. The organization offers both amateur and professional level contests throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
The husband and wife team of Jeffrey Kippel and Mindy Blackstien cofounders of the WNSO, also publish the federations magazine, FAME. Last year, because of the increased interest in modeling, The WNSO began a Muscle Model Division.
Continuing to look for ways to better serve their FAME athletes, the two turned their attention to the senior class and at this years FAME National Championships named the first ever WNSO Master Pro bodybuilder.
Kippel and Blackstien selected for this honor a senior US bodybuilder from Alabama, Scott “Old Navy” Hults, who is the 64 year-old 2006 FAME WNSO Men’s Masters 60+ World Champion.
He was selected to receive his WNSO Master Pro card as the representative Champion from last years FAME Worlds. Hults attended this years event and appeared on stage as Guest Poser during the amateur competition and again at the evening Pro show.
At the Pro show, the promoters introduced “Old Navy” as the 2006 Masters 60+ Champion and on stage, awarded him the first WNSO Master Pro Card as they announced the launching of the new WNSO Masters Pro Division.
“I am honored to be selected as the first WNSO Master Pro. I hope I can inspire those who believe age is a statistic, not a burden,” Hults said.
The WNSO will offer its first Master Pro competition at the 2007 FAME North American and US National Championships in Miami, FL, November 2-4. Plans are for there to be one or more Master Pro competitions per year in the US and in Canada, and later in other countries. The Men’s body building will be split into two age groups, 40-55 and 55+. The women's Master Pros will be 35+.
In order to establish a stable of Master Pros, the WNSO will award a WNSO Master Pro Card to the winners of the Men’s Masters 40+, 50+ and 60+ FAME World Championships from 2005 and 2006 and the winners of the Women's Masters Class for those years. The winners of the Men’s and Women's Masters classes that had five or more competitors in this years FAME National Championship show also earned WNSO Master Pro Cards.
After the show, Hults was named FAME WNSO’s Vice President for Senior Athletics and will help FAME promote the Masters Pro Division, act as spokesperson for FAME Senior Athletics and write a column on senior fitness and contest prep for FAME Magazine.
Hults said in addition to Men’s and women's bodybuilders, the new Master Pro Division will also include male and female fitness competitors.

Tuesday, June 12, 2007, 18 Days Until the 2007 NPA Masters Universe in Ft. Lee, VA I had a great time last weekend as Guest Poser at the 2007 FAME WNSO National Championships in Toronto. Here is a link to some photos from my Posing Routines: bodybuildingsenior.com/photos2007.htmThis morning I got back to the business of preparing for my next contest, in less than three weeks. I did a heavy legs workout (squats, hack machine, extensions, ham curls, adduction, abduction and seated and standing calve raises. I concentrated on a slow pace with a hard squeeze at the top of each rep and a slow release for negative action. I ended the session with some abs work and then got my cardio in by changing a flat tire on my truck.

Wednesday, June 13, 2007, 17 Days Until My Next Contest
Today was chest and triceps day and I pulled a workout from my bag that I haven't done in quite a while. Each exercise had three 10 rep sets with progressive weight added to each set. Between each set of every exercise, I did 10 full dips. I did flat bench, incline and decline dumb bell presses, pec deck, triceps pushdowns and extensions. I did a total of 180 dips (18 x 10). I ended the session with 50 slant bench crunches. Fun Stuff.

Thursday, June 14, 2007, 16 Days Until the NPA Masters Universe in Ft. Lee, VA
Body weight: 151.8
I was in the zone today. I worked back, shoulders and biceps with lots of combo sets. My favorite was heavy lats pull downs combined with pull ups. I did five sets of 10 reps each, going back and forth between pulling down and pulling up. Hard Core. I then combined shoulder presses and shrugs, four sets of 10 reps. For biceps, I went heavy (for me) and did 3 sets of 10 reps with 35 pound dumb bells, combined with machine curls (100 pounds) and barbell curls (60 pounds). Sweet.

Friday, June 15, 2007, Check In For My Next Contest Is Two Weeks From Today
As the header states, it's time to get it on. I will do a hard week of training next week and then a final week of contest prep leading up to my flight from Birmingham, Alabama to Richmond, Virginia for the 2007 NPA Nationals and Masters Universe. The promoter told me, so far, the Men's Master 60+ class is the largest masters class he has. I'm pumped. It seems more than a few of us want to earn their NPA Master Pro Card. At least six of us will be vying for the title. One guy is coming from Florida for the contest. Fun Stuff. I am also competing in the Open Lightweight Class in the NPA Nationals part of the competition.
Today I did my second legs workout of the week. I went heavy on presses, extensions, ham curls, walking lunges and calve raises.
Tomorrow, I'm meeting one of my Distance Training clients at the gym for a one-on-one workout. He is driving from Atlanta to train and then do a practice posing session with me.

Monday, June 18, 2007, 12 Days Until My Next Contest
Body Weight: 152.0. Contest Goal: 150.0 Shredded
A change in travel plans. Instead of flying from Birmingham, Alabama to Richmond, Virginia for the contest in 12 days, a good friend of mind, and fellow competitor are going to drive to the show. We figure it will take about 10 hours and cost a lot less than two air fares and a rental car. We will split the gas and the driving, so it should be OK. John Rossman is an outstanding athlete. He is an NGA and IDFA Pro. He turned 40 last week, so at this show, he will compete in the Masters 40+ class, while I compete in the Masters 60+ class. We will compete against each other in the Open Men's Lightweight class. We did that once before, and, of course, he placed higher than me, but I ain't gonna roll over for this one either. LOL It's a Pro Qualifier.
Today I did another session of combination exercises. Using Hammer Strength machines, I did three sets of 10 heavy reps of incline, decline and flat chest presses, combined with 10 deep dips after each set. I also did three sets of heavy pec deck exercises, followed by 10 dips after each set. For triceps, I did three sets of ten reps of pull downs and seated press downs, followed by 10 pushups after each set. Sweet.

Thursday, June 21, 2007, Nine Days Until My Next Contest
Weight 151.6 (Refeed last night)
I am right where I want to be with my weight. I should come in around 149.0, hard and cut. I'll start my contest prep week on Sunday, with an increase in water consumption.
Today was shoulders, back and biceps. I was a little tired, so I did a moderately hard workout of shoulder presses, Arnold's, cable raises, seated cable rows, bent over rows, seated biceps curls and standing biceps curls. I ended with abs work and a moderate elevated tread mill run. Tomorrow will be my last hard legs workout before my contest.
