Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

Ever since I was 12 years old I was always looking for something that would make me a better athlete. The first thing I did was set the national record for sit-ups (600) without stopping. I continued in High School maxing out all the weights on the new Universal Machine. When I was In college I was the first NCAA athlete to Bench Press 500lbs, weighting 235, in 1977. Then worked hard the next 45-years training men and women in 26 different sports to achieve their dreams!

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

I ride my Road Bike every-other day for 3-hours, and the next day, I workout at the gym. The Training Method I use is very unique. By using the speed in which I move the weight, I can control how heavy the weight feels. I can make 135 feel like 315+. This allows me to place the Stress on the muscles and not the joints. Using heavy weight places the stress on the joints, probably because your muscles are not strong enough to support the weight. The slower you go, the more productive.

What would you do with $20,000?

$20K would will help me build a web-site and other forms of advertising, telling as many people I can about “My New Age Strength Training Method “. It would be awesome to have my story in Mr. Health and Fitness and use that platform to show what a 72-year old can achieve using a Training Method designed for all ages 10 to 90+. It’s never too late to start your new life, especially if you trust the person that is trying to help you! Everyone needs a passion! Why not a Healthy One!
