Thanks, Roger.
Thursday, June 26, 2008, Two Days Until The 2008 Natural Physique Association (N.P.A.) Nationals and Masters Universe Pro Qualifier, Ft. Lee, Virginia
Weight: 138.6 Body Fat 6.8% No Weight Training or Cardio Today.
I am carbing up and enjoying every bit of it. Ha, ha. I'm ready to get it on. This one's mine to Win. I am bringing my best-ever physique to the stage on Saturday. Last year, I tied for First and lost my Pro Card in the tie-breaker at this show. I'm not driving 11 hours on Friday from Birmingham, Alabama to Ft. Lee, Virginia to come home on Sunday with another Second Place trophy. I never worry about who else is going to show up. I have no control over that. I want 'them' to worry about me showing up for this one. LOL.

Monday, June 30, 2008
The NPA 2008 Nationals and Si-Flex Masters Universe Bodybuilding & Fitness/Figure Championships Pro Qualifier, Ft. Lee, Virginia, June 28.
Results:
NPA Masters Universe Grand Master 60+ - 2nd Place NPA Nationals Open Men's Lightweight - 4th Place Best Poser - I have won Best Poser in competitions at ages 61, 62, 63, 64 and now at 65.
For the second time this season, I have been in the best condition of my life for a contest. I hit the stage at 140 pounds and 6% body fat. I was hard, lean, muscular, vascular, symmetrical, well tanned and groomed and posed my butt off and for the second time in a row, I lost to a guy who was less conditioned, less muscular, less cut, less vascular, much less symmetrical, less well tanned and groomed and not as good a poser, but HE WAS BIGGER. He was an inch shorter than me and was about 15 pounds heavier.
The message is clear. The judges were looking for size, not symmetry, size, not definition, size, not vascularity, size, not muscularity. In this show, In my opinon, shared by others, they also awarded a large heavyweight the Overall against a much more defined, muscular, symmetrical middle weight.
Because of these results, I have made a decision to stop competing for the rest of the year and the first half of next year. I am taking the next 12 months to add lean mass and not diet and cut for a guest posing appearance or contest. I will lift hard and add enough muscle mass to be able to stand on the stage next June and win my class.
Since I am not going to be training for a show anytime soon, I'm going to end this journal now and start a new journal when I begin my contest prep for my next show in 2009. This journal was called, "Fourth Year Student: My Senior Year," playing on the idea of this being my fourth year of competing as a senior and student of the sport. My new journal will be called, "Getting My Kicks On Route 66" as I compete in my 66th year.
I will continue to post on this site and add my comments to the dialogue as appropriate.
Thank you for your interest.

Even though you didn`t win Scott,you did a great job by getting into your best condition ever.............congrats bro!!
I don`t mind losing,but I hate being beaten by someone who is clearly not in good condition just because they`re a little bigger..................but it is a subjective sport and this has happened to me in a few contests.
Once in Syracuse,I placed behind a fat guy who looked like he had dieted on donuts,seriouslty.
Showing the DVD to some fellow competitors from my gym they could not beleive the guy placed ahead of me...........I too was in top condition.
I never did that show again,not because of sour grapes,but I trained and dieted my butt off and felt as if I got robbed..............by the way,the guy was a Syracuse boy born and bred.
Can you say politics?
Get huge brother!! #arockon6ha#

Great job Scott, I feel like you after my last show. I believe more size is still a key factor in who gets first place.

Thanks, Guys. My contest prep really came together for me. I have learned a lot and look forward to coming in leaner, more cut, more defined and bigger next season.

Monday, July 21, Panama City Beach, Florida
My wife and I, our daughter, Chrissy, son-in-law, Ryan and granddaughter, Gianna arrived at the beach on Saturday afternoon to begin a week-long vacation. We are staying in a two bedroom beach-front condo with a spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico. I am here "off season" from bodybuilding and am enjoying the sun, local cuisine and occasional brew. Nice. I will go to the World's Gym in Panama City Beach for a light workout each day to burn off the extra food I am having a blast eating. I am working on my non-Dream Tan tan with real sunshine and will return to my job at the Birmingham YMCA next week looking fit and dark. I'm in heaven.

Monday, August 4, 2008 - It's time to get back to work!
Weight: 152.0 (Contest weight - 140.0)
I have enjoyed a great month off from dieting and heavy training for competitions. My "vacation" included free-from-worry eating and a week at the beach. My weight training has been light but fun, nothing too heavy. Now I am starting a lean mass gain training regimen that will take me to June of 2009, when I will once again done my posing suit and step up for a Pro Competition, probably the 2009 FAME Canadian Nationals in Toronto. My goal is to be as cut and conditioned as I was this year but 5-8 pounds heavier. I will up my calories, while controlling my fat. I want to stay in shape, not turn into a soft donut. I'll start a daily training journal when it's the right time to do one.
