Hi Ken, For supplements I use an isolate protein powder immediately after my workouts (Ultimate Nutrition ISO Pro 93). I also take a multivitamin. Prior to bedtime I take a slow release protein powder (Gaspari Myofusion) which feeds the muscle…

Dave, Sorry for the delay in congratulating you on your win. You looked great and certainly deserved your first place finish. Unfortunately I had to leave the show early due to lower back pain and missed congratulating you in person. Any idea when…

Well since you've beaten him twice and I'm hot on his tail, maybe he's worried! I told him I'd beat him next time I see him. lol

Good to hear you have been able to bulk up. You asked about what was new - I competed in the UFE Spring Bash this past weekend April 10 and was alone in the supergrandmasters. Great group of competitors and very resppnsive audience. Pictures on site.

Profile Information

My BodyPROUD Story: I have always enjoyed physical activity and the challenges that go with it. When I retired I needed to improve my physical condition after many years behind a desk. I joined the Brighton YMCA and started working out. In August 2007 I met Dave Avery at the Cobourg Y and learned that he was putting together a team for the Ian Walling FAME Centrals on April 12, 2008. While I had never done bodybuilding before, Dave encouraged me to become part of the team and participate in the Super Grandmasters category since I would turn 60 in March 2008 just in time for the competition.
It was a great experience and I felt I had done my best and earned 2nd place. I went on to compete in the IDFA Novice event on May 3, 2008 and earned 5th place out of 7 with all other competitors under the age of 43. Finally I went on to compete in the IDFA Toronto Classic in July 2008 where I placed 2nd in the Masters Over 50 category.

In the fall of 2008 I completed my Personal Trainer accreditation with the YMCA and regularly assist as a volunteer trainer at our Brighton YMCA

My Facts 'n Stats:: I'm 62 years old and have been married for 38 years. I was in the telecommunications industry in database marketing and as a systems analyst just prior to retirement in 2001. Since retirement I have been actively involved in the community in a number of different volunteer capacities including meals on wheels, assisting the local food bank, and on the board for our local YMCA.

My AHA Life Defining Moments:: I believe you should always challenge yourself to do your best and as you do so to maintain a positive attitude. I also like to provide support and assistance to any other athletes just as my trainer Dave Avery has done over the last two years. His continuous support and encouragement has enabled me to accomplish what I have and I owe a debt of gratitude to he and his wife Julie for their dedication to those they train.

My bodyPROUD Intentions:: Be an Inspiration to Others

To Become BodyPROUD, I commit to do the Following:: I plan to continue my volunteer work as a trainer at the Brighton YMCA and to keep challenging myself in all my physical endeavours.

Life Advice that Helped Me:: Stick with it and whenever you get discouraged just keep your goal in mind - it will happen!!

How I Boosted my Confidence and/or Added Joy and/or Health into my Life:: Eat clean and stick with your training. If you keep your mind on the ball you can accomplish anything you set out to do.

My Dietary &/or Training Routine:: I try to follow a healthy diet and regularly train 3 to 4 times a week.

Expressing Gratitude is a Key Ingredient to a Happy Life. I Am Grateful for:: My wife Barb and her support in my athletic endeavours and ensuring I stay on track with my diet. I'm also grateful for my trainer Dave and his wife Julie for all the encouragement support they have provided. I'm also thankful to my fellow team members for their ongoing assistance during my training.

My Hero / Role Model / Trainer / Sponsor / Coach / Guru... and Why: Dave Avery has been a source of dedication and inspiration that turned a dream into reality.

Profession:: Personal Trainer &/or Fitness Professional, Other

I learned about bodyPROUD.org from:: Learned about the site from my participation in the 2008 Ian Walling Centrals. I think the tour is doing well - sometimes cost can be a limitation to those on fixed incomes and I know that this year Jeff made my paticipation possible by including me in the free registration for the World Championships - thanks Jeff
