Tank, glad to hear you're aiming for the Masters Nationals. It's a great show. If you haven't seen my Masters contest reports (& documentary commentaries under Repetrope link), see my website:

More Masters

This is going to be a huge show, with a lot of guys showing up much bigger than they've been elsewhere. We'll see if they can pull in the ripped condition as well, since big isn't all you need to win. Even without the strict qualifications other national shows have, the Masters Nats has become one of most competitive NPC shows because Gary has landed 4 pro cards for men (2 over 40, 1 over 50, 1 over 60). That's second only to the Nationals in number of pro cards given to men in one show. Moreover, the women have really stepped up to the plate the last few years, & done superbly (this is the only NPC show where an over-35 female bodybuilding or figure competitor can get a masters pro card). Gary has reorganized the judging times & it should run more quickly than last year.

If you go to the evening show & never have before, one word of advice: be sure to eat before you go. It starts early, there are no breaks, & you would have to miss a significant part of the show (or leave early) to eat while it's going on.

I plan on doing the IFBB North American Sept 1.

My Final Amateur Contest

On Saturday, August 18th, I will compete in my final amateur contest, the 2007 NPC Alabama State Championships in Birmingham. I have entered the Open Men's Lightweight Class, the Men's Masters 50+ Class and the Men's Masters 60+ Class. Last year, at this show, I placed 3rd in Open Men's Bantam Weight and 2nd in Men's Masters 60+. I hope to win the 50+ or 60+ Mr. Alabama title at this, my 21st contest.

I hold Master Pro cards in the NGA, IDFA (Canada) and WNSO FAME (Canada and the US). I will compete in the 2007 NGA Pro Am in the Master Pro 50+ Class in Atlanta on September 8th. My final show this year will the the 2007 FAME Master Pro National Championship in Miami on November 4th, where I will compete in the Master Pro 55+ Class.
