Dedicating this year to getting my pro card

[Coach is Back!]

That pic you look pretty smooth. I would say whatever amount of growth hormone you were taking at that time in the pic...double or triple it.

I've never taken GH

[Ruffian]

Weighed in 194 in that pic (prejudging) 198. Night show 204. I didn't look good for the night show.

You're under the impression that at 54 (I turn 55 in August) that I would be taking a ton of gear. The fact is I can't remember a time in my 42 years of training that I've ever taken even a gram if that. It doesn't take that much despite popular belief.

Dear Coach,

We've never met but have interacted for years here at getbig .
You're  a straight shooter and I think you've got the potential to do well.
Yes, you can get a pro card in the over 50 masters nationals.
It's a lofty goal and worth going for ...BUT WHY?

Seriously Coach, I've considered that myself and opted out.
Every stage in life offers its' own unique challenges.
I did my competitive BB stint, and closed that door behind me  years ago.

To me life is like a river.
Go with the flow and enjoy the scenery.

All the best to you regardless of your choice.

What age were you when you did it

Then thats your problem.

You're a better bodybuilder than I am, but, we're pretty close in age. Another option is lose the bulk do some distance running.  I've been running in races from 5K to Half Marathon. There's tons of young pussy at these events as opposed to the ghastly homosexuals who attend bodybuilding contests.

[French]

You are too heavy, cut, cut, cut.

[8 INCH not biceps]

I almost because a pro back in the day maybe I should try again after I get up to 300 pounds next year I should diet down and try my luck at the nationals

I live on a beach. The pussy is abundant. Can't think of anything else that would destroy joints other than running.

It's an expensive fat burner.

[light weight baby]

It's an expensive fat burner.

it also grows your cranium and makes you look like a pumpkin head

hgh is a bridge too far for me

[illuminati]

Good luck - hope you do very well & get that pro card.

You know whats required to win - just got to achieve it.

Shame i'm on the other side of the big pond or i'd like
to share a few workouts.

[light weight baby]

what is the point of "getting a pro card" when you will never win a pro show?

you are just going to be there to make other guys look good

like those uke's in martial art demonstrations

pointless existence

[stuntmovie]

Coach, If I'm not mistaken .... Joe Valdez shot an exceptionally fine picture of you years ago which appeared to be shot in a park.
 
If that was you, I'd suggest you post it here to show these GetBiggers  how great a bodybuilder you were back then.

And ... Good luck at the MASTERS....

Heavy benching and squats.

agreed but at your age its anti aging qualities might help offset some of the damage your going to do by upping the dose a little in an attempt to get your card, I get your dosage statement, were on the same page if you have the genetics its easier to believe what can be achieved than when you don't. Im talking a few ius a day none of the high dose rubbish.

[Disgusted]

I never understood why if someone decides to diet and put on a pair of trunks and a fake tan you are killing oneself. I know what Coach does and with the size he is living with all he has to do is diet and step onstage. He's not going to kill himself by being hungry.

well it kinda goes without saying he needs to up the dose considerably if he wants to roll with the big dogs

This thread reminded me of a shop by the late, great, Onlyme:

Look shredded under that jumper with wolfesque calves.
