I love training. Bodybuilding is essentially a solitary sport, yet I feel a part of a tradition. There is a feeling of deep satisfaction in pushing my body and then feeding it. I feel the body's pleasure in being strong and healthy. I also like being a spokesperson for vegetarianism.
Many people think vegetarians are weak and frail, or at least thin and wirey.
When people see me and I tell them that I've had no meat or fish for twenty years, they become willing to have another look at vegetarianism. I want to rebuild my back. And I want to have the big thick and deep contours of a fully developed back. I intend to compete again next spring, and especially look forward to doing the ANBC shows in the Pennsylvania area again, as I thoroughly enjoyed myself there this past spring. Find a good trainer.
