Thanks, Keith. I enjoy judging and learn a lot about our sport each time I judge a contest. I will judge four shows this season before I step on to the stage myself in June. I will compete in three or four shows in 2008.

Great looking workouts!! Sorry I haven't tuned in to your log more.
And I had no idea somebody would compete that much- it must be really challenging to keep the diet and physique spot-on for so long?

Looking great Scott. What weight are you shooting for?

Post by oldnavy on Mar 30, 2008 17:52:28 GMT -5
Roger I'm not shooting for any weight. I'm shooting to come in as hard, lean and ripped as I can with no regards to how much I weigh. I am competing in a Grand Master Pro Class of 55 years and older pros. I will be 65 when I step on to the stage on June 14th. I am giving away 10 years and most of the competitors will be a lot bigger than I am (many of the contestants are from Canada). I just have to be the best I can be. I am encouraged because on Saturday, at the NGA show in Atlanta that I judged, the Lightweight (154 pounds) took the Overall against some good middle weights and light heavyweights. His conditioning was spot on. Mine will be, too.

Monday, March 31, 2008, 11 Weeks Until the 2006 FAME World Championships and Pro Showdown, June 14, Toronto
I judged a contest in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend. The First Annual N.G.A. Natural Muscle and Figure Classic pro qualifier attracted 70 excellent men and women athletes. It was tough to place these fine competitors, but we did and I feel we did a good job of selecting the winners in each class and the overall.
Instead of a guest poser, the promoter decided to do an audience participation stunt just before the intermission. He called for two men, two women and two teens to volunteer to step up on stage and have a 60-second push up contest. I raised my hand and the promoter said, "Old Navy, all right, who is going to challenge Old Navy to a push up contest." I will be 65 in a few weeks. A 55 year-old ex-marine stepped up and said, "I will." Fred and I went on stage and decided to have a little fun in front of the packed house. I took off my shirt and flexed and Fred said, "OK," and did the same. We did a short pose down before we settled on to the stage floor for the push up contest. The timer said, "Go," and we hit it. At the end of 60 seconds, I had done 78 push ups. My marine friend did 79. The audience cheered for both of us. It was a cool moment. Neither the two women nor the three teens matched either one of our totals.
On another note, my training partner, Michael Jackson, 49, a 6' 6", 258 pounds athlete took the test for First Degree Brown Belt in Karate on Saturday. He will learn the results next Thursday. I'm sure he made it.
