2010. Chicago.  So what's the word, Dave? Personally, I'd love to see you do it and kick some butt.

WELL............it is in the BAG!!!!  Smiley Smiley Smiley
Just returned from LA where I completed the photo shoot for Iron Man.  Wink I was in the MECCA in Venice. Thank God they are used to having shoots there.  Nobody noticed and that helped me to relax and focus on the pictures.  I was tanned and fairly ripped!!! Just hope the pics show the fruits of my LABOR!!!  Shocked My quads were by far my best body part.  Incredible considering I only trained them the last 4 weeks.  Doing at least 90 minutes a day on my bike was killing my strength not to mention my knees.  But they came back  at the end.   Kiss
Now, as I mentioned above, the real TEST comes from here into next year.  Lips Sealed To maintain my lower weight and add some more size.  I am extremely motivated for the Natural O.  I do have some reservations regarding the tightness of my skin around the lower abs area.  If it stay as loose as it is now I may not enter.  It is not a pretty site...... Cry

Dave, I feel foolish even trying to give you advice but have you considered weighted ab work? It should add a bit of size to your mid-section but wouldn't it tighten the area up as well?  Cry  Best of luck,    Bob

Thanks muscle5 for the post. Tongue

Bob..........
Actually you are right on the money....I planned on doing a weighted crunch machine. Lips Sealed
The only problem is the abdominal muscles are not very thick. Shocked  Thus their development outward is not too great....however it is in my big picture. Roll Eyes
The two things I need to do most are..... keep my fats cells empty until the event hoping the skin will tighten up more ...and yes....increase  my ab strength. Smiley

Opa Dave - Looking forward to meet you at the Natural Olympia next year. I too am in hard planned training for the event. I am excited that it will be held in Chicago because for me that is where it all started and that is where it will end (my last show). Looking forward to also seeing some old friends like Bob Gajda, Sergio, Seno, Terry Strand and others that I grew up pumping iron with. Good luck on your training......And remember this, when you are training, I am training harder Undecided

Always pumping,

Opa Frank,
Yes I too am looking forward to meeting you and the competition.  Tongue
My training will be the same as always.....HIT!!
I've used it for over 35 years now.  My training time weekly is less than 40 minutes  Shocked
By keeping my body fat where it is I will be able to eliminate any muscle burning cardio.  Roll Eyes
Unfortunately there is way too much time......this is or has been the kiss of death for me.
So keep me updated as this will keep me focused on the contest and you!!  Wink

I found these about an hour ago, Dave, when searching for something else.  They were in the June 1966 issue of JCG's MD in that "Young Strength Stars" column that they would occasionally run.

Opa Dave!! That's what happens when we get older. Nose gets longer and something else gets shorter Cry. By the way, just spoke to Denny Kakos and the 2010 Natural Olympia will be held in Reno not in Chicago as stated. Looks like I luck out as this is my turf Smiley Now if I can only get my Chicago brothers to fly out for the event Cool

Keep pumping,

Opa Frank,
Thanks for the update.  Where will you be qualifying for the O?  I am pretty sure John's North America is one.  I may shoot for that one myself. Shocked  Wink

Opa Dave,
I will be seeing Denny Kakos this weekend as he is coming to Reno. That being said, I will ask him which shows are the Olympia qualifiers. I would like to pick one in the Chicago area so that I can hook up with my old friends. I will keep you posted Undecided

Keep pumping,

OPA!!!!  Frank,
When you see Denie first say "HI" for me.  Then ask him a very important question.
Once one is qualified for the "O" is it mandatory to be on the USA Team in order to actually
enter the contest............or can you enter without being on the Team??   Huh
You see he makes a killing on the team contest selling complete sweats with the logo
and basically giving you nothing in return.  On top of that it is usually in the LA area. 
Once you qualify by placing in the top five of a national contest you SHOULD be able to
enter the "O" without being on the team. After my doing both the qualifier AND the Team contest I was broke and
very disappointed with the medallion I got for a 4th place on the team. For $50.00
plus travel expences etc. it left me feeling RIPPED OFF!!! Sad Shocked Angry Kiss
If you get my drift??!!!
Don't mention that to him....... Wink

Opa Dave - I know exactly how you feel because I have been there with him two years ago. I will seek an answer to your question and keeping it between us, I will advise. In the mean time keep on pumping!! Undecided
