How far did you get in bodybuilding, Howard?  Why exactly did you quit competing?

I met Steve Michalik in a gym on Long Island. I noticed him and approached him. He was still EXTREMELY wide. He spotted me on the preacher curl bench and he appeared to have the same mentality as when he trained with John Defendis.

Later in life, he seemed to regret the extremes he went to.

The few times I've chatted with him, he seemed to regret the drug use, not his hard training.

How far did you get in bodybuilding, Howard?  Why exactly did you quit competing?
I'm Howard, age 58 and recently retired from small college teaching ( physics). I went to grad school and never quit , earning a masters in physics and doctorate in science education .
At 5'10" I'm a "bulky" 250'ish and need to get leaner.

My wife is previously divorced (like me) , cute face with a curvy figure and was an exec VP for a major bank.
Despite what LtWtbaby thinks, she's a real life partner and we are building an awesome lifestyle TOGETHER.
We own a 5 BR home on 5 wooded acres in N Ga which is our permanent residence. It has 2 streams , regular herd of deer and a bunch of pretty birds and other wild life . On the back deck we have a large hot tub, that I enjoy.
Going out on a clear night and looking up at the stars while soaking with her is amazing.

We also own a couple (2) large vacation rentals in the N. Ga Mts. My wife does a great job keeping them rented and it's a nice small business where we employ a cleaning lady, handy man, etc.

I recently bought my dream car, a classic dark purple Mustang convertible and it kicks ass, vroom-vroom.
From 1978-95 I competed in over 40 bodybuilding contests along, mostly on the state/regional level.
I juiced a bit in the mid 80's but enjoyed doing well in Untested NPC shows in the 90's without any 'roids.

Before any of that I was active duty USMC and was proud to have served with some great marines.

That's my story.  What's yours?
