Well I'm saying that I'm back but to be honest I have never really left. I have just been too lazy to keep up this blog. My girl has encouraged me to get back on this and she's right, I should be doing this.
I may have stopped blogging but I have not stopped hitting the gym. My training in 2011 has been more focused and intense than ever and I have had some results to go along with the intensity. I am a hard gainer so I'm thrilled to say that I got my arms up 151/4 inches. Along with that I have increased strength and size in all aspects of my upper and lower body. Most important since I last posted (last March) I have gained five pounds of lean muscle. Most of the weight can be attributed to hard work and the following:
Methyl Arimatest
ON Protein Shakes
Creatine
Coconuts.
Yes, Coconuts. Taking my shakes with coconut milk (instead of regular milk) and also eating coconut butter has put five pounds on me in the last three months. I finally got myself up to 157 pounds, the next goal is 160lbs.
In the world of bodybuilding we were fortunate to be able to go to the NY Pro and watch kai Greene's comeback and once again we were able to go to Mr. Olympia and see Phil Heath beat Jay Cutler and become the new Mr O. Tt was a great Olympia. We already can't wait to go next year.
I will try to keep up this blog. I will try to make it an interesting combination of product reviews, bodybuilding news and updates on what I'm up to.
As for now, I feel very energized about my workouts. For me, life is an eternal bulking phase but at 46 I think I'm holding my own and holding it together.
Feel free to sign up and follow this blog and comment if you so choose.
I will write to you soon.

Flex Pro Predictions
OK everyone, here we go. Last week the LA Fit Expo unofficially kicked off the 2011 bodybuilding season and next is the official kick off which will take place in Santa Monica California. This year the season will kick off with the first ever Flex Pro Show. With all that said I'm really glad that the Flex Pro show is happening. We used to have the Iron man but that went away so the Flex Pro looks to be a great kick off. The big draw for this show is Dexter Jackson Vs. Dennis Wolf that alone should be a great showdown but of course there are a lot of other up and coming athletes participating in this event. Now that we are only thirteen days out from the event I thought I would give my predictions for the top six.
1. Dexter Jackson
2. Evan Centopani
3. Dennis Wolf
4. Fauad Abaid
5. Ben White
6. Stan Efferding
My reasoning is this.:
Dexter has been training in CA. for a long time just for this event. He needs a big win and this is the perfect chance for him to get it. Without a big win here the aging Dexter Jackson will have a harder time getting the judges respect. Dexter is very aware of this.
Evan Centaponi is very determined a great showing here will will move his career towards Olympia. He's been working a long time for this and he knows this is critical.
Dennis Wolf; many may say he will win but I don't believe that Dennis is going to give his all at this show. I think Dennis is going to save his best for the Arnold where the competition will be much more intense. Dennis placed Higher than Dexter at the Olympia, Dennis doesn't have that much to prove. The greatest value to Dennis is to see how he compares to others.
Those are my thoughts for the top six, specifically the top three. In thirteen days we will know how it turned out. Feel free to post your predictions.
Thank you for reading this.

UPDATED DENNIS WOLF NEWS
According to RX Muscle Dennis Wolf is going to compete in the Flex Pro in February.
It seems that there was some sort of misunderstanding or someone in Wolf's camp may have spoke out of line. Either way the good news is that Dennis Wolf will help kick off the 2011 bodybuilding season at the Flex Pro and I for one can't wait to see the pictures of the Dennis Wolf Dexter Jackson showdown. Hold onto your hats, this is going to be good.

Here's the latest list of competitors for the 2011 Arnold classic. The Arnold classic is shaping up very nice. I was concerned about the event this year because top athletes like Kai Green and Phil Heath were passing on the event. It looks to be an excellent competition. I will give my predictions closer to the event.
