COACH, As I might have stated a year or so ago, I think I met you once through my good friend (now deceased) Joe Valdez during your BB competitive days.
I'm planning a meeting with some old stunt associates and might be in your area around that time and if that happens I'll come up and reintroduce myself and my crazy friends.
I assume you will be present at this function.
Some of the friends are retired Marines and damn proud of it so look for the old farts wearing the USMC logo with the hearty handshakes.
Once one, Always one ... and Semper Fi,
Stunt

Stunt, That would be great. Joe was a good friend and I really caught hell from Rory when I was out of town for his funeral.

Coach, I hope you don't mind if I take this opportunity to say a few words about Joe and ask a few questions of clarification.
I knew Joe casually for a good number of years and we were always planning to have a lunch or dinner after one of the prejudging's or the finals. That "plan" went on for a long time but it was always interrupted by the need to attend church or other per-planed engagements.
So when Joe eventually moved into the 'rest home' he called me to tell me that there was a great Mexican restaurant in the area and it would be a good time to get together for a meal and talk story about competitive bodybuilding, photography, and his years within the movie business.
So we made plans where I would pick him up and we'd get together for a good Mexican enchalada close to his present residence.
But just prior to that planned get-together, Joe passed away ... so it never did happen and I still regret that because Joe was one heck of a great guy and a great friend with interesting life experiences he enjoyed talking about.
Do you know whatever happened to the book he was working on... "Why is Everyone in Hollywood Famous Except Me!?"
ANd I can understand a bit why Rory was upset.
Can you also let me know the month and year that Joe passed away. I'm bad at recalling dates and times and would like to do my best to discover why I wasn't present at Joe's funeral also.
God bless Joe!
And thanks, Coach,

So seriously, how badly are you picked on in real life?
My bench press is very weak. I am impressed by a lot of young bodybuilders who are 3-4 years younger than me that can bench 200+. Unfortunately I can't do that.
I am very satisfied with my other lifts.
My squat is 190lbs x 6. I just got there after doing 185lbs for 5 workouts.
My deadlift is around 220 x 5. I did 235 x 3 the other day. That was tough.
My bench press though is only 125lbs x 5. I was at 120lbs forever, 115lbs forever, 90lbs forever.
How can I improve this? I started working my triceps more and I think it's helped a bit.
I think my form sucks. I tried putting my feet up on bar or on the bench. Made me feel wobbly.
I don't understand the digging shoulder blades in thing. I try it and then when I press off I go back flat on the bench.
I have my hands really wide now. I think it's helping a bit. My left side seems a bit weaker though, I don't like bad form.

This sticky topic from the Powerlifting board is the best information I have ever read on proper bench press technique. It has helped me tons.

Joe Valdez R.I.P.
The world of bodybuilding lost another of its most renowned physique photographers and contributors when Joe Valdez died in his sleep at 5:54 on Wednesday, August 16, 2005, at the Motion Picture & Television Fund Home in Woodland Hills, California. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, on May 1, 1932, Joe was one of the best photographers in the iron game, with 400 magazine covers—many for foreign bodybuilding magazines—to his credit. In addition to his prolific photography, he was involved in organizing the National Physique Committee in Southern California and was its first district chairman. He was also a prominent physique contest judge for more than 30 years.
I first met Joe in 1965 at the AAU Mr. America contest, which was held in Los Angeles. He approached me and introduced himself by saying that he worked in the photography department at Warner Bros. Studios and wanted to learn physique photography. I set up a photo session with several of the contestants for the next day and invited Joe to observe. From that day forward he shot physique photos, and within a few years he became one of the best in the business
Joe’s background as a second assistant cameraman speeded his mastery of physique photography. He worked on every Aaron Spelling TV production, including “Dynasty,” one of the top-rated series of its time. His likable personality made him very popular with all the stars he met in Hollywood. Joan Collins mentions him a few times in her biography. Joe was very close to Academy Award winner Barbara Stanwyck, who affectionately called him “Santa,” and he was friendly with Charlton Heston and Angie Dickinson.
Joe was a hard-working person with a sharp wit. While at Gordon Mitchell’s memorial gathering at World Gym in Marina del Rey, Joe greeted the newly elected governator—Arnold—by saying, “I always knew you’d be working for me someday.”
Joe kept amazing records of bodybuilding contests for decades. He was also one of the founders of GraphicMuscle.com and was responsible for the Today’s Birthdays feature that appears daily at GM.
“Joe really did have an idiot savant’s knowledge of bodybuilder’s birthdays and could remember the date of anybody’s he jotted down, which he never stopped doing,” recalls Bill Comstock. “He’d go up to complete strangers, anywhere he would see a bodybuilder, and without introducing or explaining himself ask, ‘When is your birthday?’ I was with him many times when bodybuilders didn’t react kindly to his birthday solicitations. More than once I thought he was going to get himself killed.”
Joe was one of the most beloved personalities in our sport. He helped many up-and-coming bodybuilders succeed. He always took three photos of each pose during a photo shoot: one for the subject, one for publication and one for himself. He never charged his models and always gave them free photos. Almost all of his magazine covers were given to publishers for free—he only wanted to help bodybuilders get the recognition that they deserved.
Joe photographed rising young stars like Rory Leidelmeyer, Robby Robinson, Bob Paris, Rich Gaspari, Shawn Ray, Danny Hester, Manny Molina, Stan McQuay, David Johns, John Brown, Richard Jones and many others, often giving them the first publicity that helped propel them to worldwide recognition and fame. He also claimed that he persuaded Vince Taylor to become a bodybuilder after meeting him on a photo shoot with John Brown.
In recent years, despite his failing health, Joe attended almost every contest in Southern California—in his wheelchair and with an oxygen bottle. He truly loved bodybuilding, and the same can be said about him by the many friends who mourn his passing. Joe always wanted to write a book titled Everybody I Know Is Famous, Except Me. He’ll always be famous to his many friends in the bodybuilding world and his close acquaintances in show business.

Thanks, TA! That was darn nice of ya.
I will say that Joe was among the nicest individuals I had the opportunity to meet in my lifetime..... and some of you know that I was 'ordered' to get out of the house and meet as many people as I could at a pretty young age.
And I'm darn proud to say that I accomplished that pretty well - bums and heros and presidents and Academy Award winners, movie studio owners, drug dealers and dopers,
TV cowboys and the their stuntmen who did the dirty work, Chesty Puller, Bob Hope and the Crosby kids, and every Olympia winner since the days of Larry Scott, and Vince Gironda and the kid he never wanted back, etc., etc.
But Joe will most likely always be at the top of my "Good Guy" list.
Someday I hope to write a book.
Thanks TA. Now I gotta read it.
Keith and I would discuss this a number of times and he'd alway end up agreeing that I met more good and bad people in ten years than he'd met in twenty.
For you GetBiggers ... that means twice as many!
BUY I GOTTA ADMIT .... I never did meet Jonesy but I'm sure that Joe did ... and even had his birthday memorized.
