Who said anything about being an elite bodybuilder but lets not pretend Wes and Jswift are elite bodybuilders. For 43 I am in elite shape a lot of so called elite bodybuilders are retired and look like shit by 35.
Let me clear up a statement you posted above.
I have never claimed to be an elite bodybuilder and have often mentioned my lack of genetics, my shitty leg development, and my tiny sparrowlike frame right here on this forum.
I was a drunken drug user for 33 years and trained off and on missing around 11 years in total never training during that time 11 year time period.
No excuses it was my own doing due to lot of personal reasons but the main reason was I was a bad alcoholic.....your common garden variety drunk.....PERIOD.
The one thing I did have was a strong desire to get my shit together and bodybuilding kept me on the straight and narrow.
While my gym mates Jeff King,Chris Aceto,Matt Dufresne etc. etc. were winning huge titles I was puking on my shoes in some alley on the streets with some stripper.
I am very proud of the fact that I started competing in my 40`s and 50`s after the living Hell I put myself through.
I made up for lost time cuz I had a drive that no one could disuade and a laser like focus and loved training hard so most of my 67 trophies came late in life quite a few being on the National level where I did quite well for the most part.
I`m proud to be clean and sober all these years because I never thought I would be..... and proud that I made up for lost time competing but if nothing else I have never called myself elite...far from it as I had no self esteem.
I didn`t need to tell you this Bhank but dont put words in my mouth and dont speak about me if you dont know what the fuck your talking about.
