Scott!
I love it! You're giving me flash backs! I spent two years as a Drill Sergeant at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina. No excuses. No turning back. 110% motivation.
You my friend, are an inspiration!

Monday, July 2, 2007, 2007 NPA Nationals and Masters Universe - Results
Masters 60+ - Tied for First (placed 2nd after the tie-breaker) Awarded Best Poser trophy
I really enjoyed this contest. Everyone was ready to compete. It was intense but fun. The competitors were loose and friendly. The facilitators were good and the promoter provided one of the best pump up areas I have every seen, lots of equipment, including benches. The show ran smoothly. My only issue, and it was personal, was that they kept us at the athletes meeting a little longer than needed and the show started late. This was a Pro Qualifier and they still took the time to demonstrate the poses for men and women. Not necessary.
The Masters 60+ class was up first and I didn't have enough time to pump up. But none of my competitors did either. We had five minutes to get on stage.
I tried very hard to win my fourth pro card at this show. I tied for First. My chief competitor had better abs than me and a better back (former power lifter). I had a better everything else. It was close. I don't know what the judges did with the tie breaker...but, it doesn't matter. I placed 2nd and that has given me a new drive to strive to be better.
I am going to start a very hard program of drop set workouts. I am going to kick my butt to get a little bigger and harder. I will go back to that show next year and I will win...There will be no tie for First.
I believe I took my self for granted. I believe I could have dieted harder and prepared harder for this show. I know I grew some this season, but I just know I could have worked harder these last six weeks and maybe it would have made the difference. I won't make that mistake again. I have just raised my own bar!!!
I was gratified to receive my fourth Best Poser award. I love posing and I love entertaining the audience. At this show, the audience was very responsive to my routine. At the awards ceremony, the MC asked me to perform my routine again for the audience and I did. Sweet. After, they asked my to say a few words and I took the opportunity to promote senior fitness.

Tuesday, July 3, 2007 It's a nice way to start the month. I was named "Bodybuilding Model of the Month" for July on the Lift For Life - Natural Bodybuilding at its Finest! web site. Thank you. www.liftforlife.com/scotthultsbodybuilding.htmToday, after a day off from training, I continued working towards my next two contests, the 2007 NPC Alabama State Championship in Birmingham, Alabama on August 18th and the 2007 NGA Pro Am Nationals, a Pro Show, on September 8th in Atlanta. I have upped my intensity in the gym by devoting my workouts to drop sets for each exercise. Today, for chest and triceps, I did the following: Set - 9 reps to failure, drop weight, 8 reps to failure, drop weight, 8 reps to failure, total 25 reps. Rest 90 seconds. Then I repeated this drop set two more times for a total of 75 reps per exercise, resting 90 seconds between sets two and three. Exercises: Machine Chest Press Bench Dumb Bell Flies Weighted Dips Incline Bench Dumb Bell Presses Prone Triceps Extensions Triceps Push Downs I ended the session with three sets of 25 reps of weighted crunches. Intense.

Wednesday, July 4, 2007
No work today so I slept in until 6:30 AM. I met one of my Distance Training clients at the gym at 9:00 and we trained together until 11:00. He is a new client, so we spent the time on form, breathing, posture, technique and pace. We went through several sets of exercises, touching all body parts and ended our session with abs and HITT Cardio. On Monday he will begin eight weeks of Advance GH/HITT Cardio training on his own. He works out at a YMCA close to his home, while I train at Gold's.
I have stepped up my own workout and plan on asking one of the regulars at Gold's to be my training partner for a few months. I normally train alone, but for now, I am going to need a spotter and partner who will push me to complete the extra heavy reps I want to do.

CONGRATS Scott! I would have loved to see your performance... i'm sure the audiance enjoyed it! PS: Drop sets are going to be a lot of pain fun Thanks, Warrior. The routine I performed was one of the ones I did at the WNSO Nationals a few weeks ago, where I was the Guest Poser. It's the second time that particular routine won Best Poser in a competition.
