All,

Quite a few of us know each other from the board, some off the board.

Without getting too personal, who are you ? I’m a normal guy. Believe in using common sense to get thru life.
What you do ? I own a butcher shop. Been supervisor or self employed since I was pretty much 16. Truthfully I’m getting tired of babysitting people.
Married/ divorced/ single ? Married, love my wife but damn another 40 years is a long time. Is it natural to think something new might be fun. Never mind I’ll drive that out of my mind
Kids ? That you know about. Couldn’t have kids, scarlet fever bad when I was young, but I have a stepson who had a child and since him and his girlfriend were truly horrible parents I get to be a dad and raise him. Funny how life works. It’s rewarding and exptemely frustrating, lol.
Where in the country do you live ? Urban or rural ? In the city, but a smaller one. Used to live in Edmonton, don’t miss that rat race.
How long have you been training for ? I trained when I was in my early 20’s for about 2 years and got into realky good shaoe, then found my wife, started a business and had fun until I hit 43 and saw a picture of me on a boat and saw how horrible I looked. So only 6 years in total. But if I stay consistent my body responds really well.
How do you train ? Daily, but only one bodypart a day. I usually take one day off to have a few beer. I found this works the best becayse of the nature of my work lifting and carrying all the time
Ever competed or plan to compete ? Thought about it, but nope. Honestly I don’t think it’s right for me. My competition is to be the most ripped guy in Cuba this year, for the first day, after that all bets are off, lol.

If you don’t feel comfortable don’t answer, just my own curiosity at work.
