Hello

[RaceyRabbit]

I have just joined this site! Hi...

I became inspired by Jonah Lomu and his picture on the front page of the Dominion Post last week...I've just finished looking at the pics of the comp.

I last competed maybe 10 years ago and had always thought I would like to do ONE more before I'm too old!!! how old is that though these days!!!

Anyway, I have just experienced a relationship breakup in January and found myself 'LOST'...got volunteered by my daughter to participate in a 12 week challenge at our local gym...I guess that could have been the start of something too...I was asked to bring along my bodybuilding photos to my workmates and show them...they were impressed and intimidated!!! but having my photos at work also inspired me to the extent that I have contacted the Personal Trainer I had and he too has given me some words of encouragement.

I'm now on the road to committing to training, dieting and competition and I feel really spurred on by my family, friends and workmates.

Talk again soon...

Welcome Raceyrabbit :grin: I don't think there is any age barrier, if you look in the post your pics section Mike Debenham has a client that has just competed in her 60's I believe and another lady which is Jo Stewarts client competing 1st time at age 49 which is awesome. You're pics look amazing by the way and I'm sure you can do it all again :wink:

Greetings RaceyRabbit :grin: Don't let anything stop you, least of all age! Good luck with your goals. With your prior experience you'll be awesome 8)

Thanks for your words of encouragement.

I just went for a walk at lunchtime and banged into a guy I went to school with and his wife and I competed together. He used to be a policeman and packed it in to become a Personal Trainer!!! It seems that I'm connecting with other fellow bodybuilders again...it's got to be good though.

He wants to have another go before he is 50 :clap: We talked a bit about the age thing and yes it does seem that there is no barrier like some other sports anyway...that's definitely a bonus :nod:

When I have more time I will read more of these posts...

Cheers :wink:
