davjohns 1 #1 July 31, 2016 I got into bodybuilding roughly thirty years ago. I've always wanted to compete. Last year, I decided it wasn't going to get any easier to get on a stage with very little clothing and ask a crowd of strangers to critique my body. Yesterday was the Rocket City Classic Bodybuilding competition in Huntsville, AL. I entered the Classic Physique category. Rather than the steroid gulping mass monsters of today, Classic Physique looks for an aesthetic ideal more like Frank Zane, Bob Paris, Steve Reeves and other classics. To that end, there are weight limits based on height. I was not allowed to be any heavier than 200lbs at my height of 5'10". Just thought I would share. Perhaps someone else will see this and go for something they've put off a long time.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billy: I returned to Huntsville last May. I retire 28 February. The Army sent me here to finish up. Let me know if you are ever in town. I have four spare bedrooms. Thanks again everyone.

I pretty much have to grab a hotel room downtown when taking my girls to visit their grandparents. The girls get the guest bed, I get the couch, which is hell on my back. I'll let you know.
