wes great stuff...you must have a closet of trophies conking u in the head..
Just a few of my trophies bro..real old pic,have won lots more since this was taken.
All in my barn except the few that mean the most to me.
The ones in the house are:
My first powerlifting trophy-1974 Boston Open Power Meet- 3rd. place 132 pound class.highest bench in my class..tiny little trophy but it means a lot to me.
1st. place 1995 Southern States lightweight over 35 at 40 years of age.....all my friends told me I`d place last....NOT!!
6 trophies from the NABBA Nationals
2 trophies from the Masters Nationals
First bodybuilding trophy I won-1987 Mr. Springfield.......just came off a 7 year drunken drug filled binge and benched 95 pounds for a shaky 8 reps........people laughed at me,I was a bum in the streets.........6 months later,ripped and benched 300 pounds at 150 bodyweight......double bodyweight bench and all the dudes in my gym wanted to train with me..some lasted some couldn`t hang,I punished the ones that lasted,but they got into the best shape of their lives.
During this time,I overdosed and was pronounced deadonce again,I bssically lived in the streets,and ate at 5 different houses where friends lived..whoever had the best meal after hitting all 5 houses,is where I ate!
When Jeff King gave me the trophy,he said:
"Thank God for muscle memory huh Wes"......I literally went backstage and cried and literally came back from the dead....felt reborn..I also felt like a soft homo but I couldn`t contain myself after all I`d been through.
5th. place Iron Man in Syracuse N. Y.,..........kept it in the house because I should have won my class.........never do a Jeremy Freeman contest if the other guys in your class train at his gym.
1st. place bench press most reps with bodyweight Over-50 class Rochester N.Y.
Got a few more also,but I`m starting to sound like an Animal Pak ad again so I`ll shutup...too much coffee.AGAIN!
