I am a 68 years-old retired U.S. Navy Captain and a professional natural bodybuilder. I have competed more than 30 times and have won pro cards in four natural bodybuilding organizations. I am the full-time Fitness Director at a large branch of the YMCA in Birmingham, Alabama. I have been married for 31 years and have two daughters and three grandchildren. To me, age is a statistic, not a burden. And, there is no reason a man or woman can't get into and maintain the best shape of their lives, even with medical ailments, if they just have the desire and dedication to do so.
On Monday and Wednesday, I worked out with my training partner doing Chest and Triceps on Monday and Legs and Calves on Wednesday. This is a very busy time at the Y where I work as the Fitness Director and I didn't have time to post my workouts. Here is today's training.
