Just me at 50.
I remember when I was a kid dreaming of one day looking like a bodybuilder. I started training at 14 years old, 125lbs soaking wet at 6ft tall and my first day at the gym the instructor told me I didn`t have the genetics to ever be a bodybuilder.
It really hurt to hear that but I kept going even though it felt there were always obstacle after obstacle in the way of me realizing my dream.
There was the drugs I`d never consider using, the supplements that didn`t work and the "training information" mostly based on what works for those on steroids. Nothing really for natural athletes and back then there were no prominent truly lifetime natural bodybuilders to look to for guidance, so I blazed my own trail.
I spent years developing and testing a protocol I would one day call Naturally Intense High Intensity Training whereby I`d train three times a week with blistering intensity for 10-20 minutes and then do my best not to pass out!
Results came steadily, but it always felt slow. Painfully slow, but I kept at it. I started training others, and got so much back from seeing their success with the program that it really helped keep me going for the many years it would take before I finally looked like a bodybuilder. I was 25, and I`ve been at it full throttle since then. Not because I wanted to be better, but because along the road to looking good, I found a path that felt good.
One that helped me grow both physically and as a person. And with just an hour a week commitment in terms of training time, getting in those workouts has never been a problem, (the problem is usually just trying to walk afterwards)
And so, at 50, twenty years removed from my last competition, I am simply grateful for what I have done and more so for what I have helped others accomplish and I hope my work and my journey helps you in some way on your own path towards excellence. Thanks for stopping by, know that I believe in you and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
