Hello Everyone, Happy Thanks Giving to all. This is one of those weekend that we put are favorite designer sweats on and gorge ourselfs with great food. I hope you all were able to spend time with family and friends.

The Olympia is over, and DEXTER is crowned KING....I was not able to attend the Olympia, however I did watch it on bodybuilding.com. Dexter was definitely the winner, no questions asked. The man is one of the most consistent athletes in the sport today. It was only time before it unfolded. Dexter brings back a lot of qualities, the sport was missing over the last few years. Shape, symetry, proportion and size. I definitely not disrespecting the previous winners. The show was just judged a little differently. Size, proportion, symetry and shape.
The 202 class winner is well known David Henry. I did not see the score cards, however I do believe Kevin English and David Henry were not separated by much. The 202 class is definitely growing in popularity. With that being said, it is creating opportunities for people like myself to step up to the plate and compete at the pro level.

On a local note, I would just like to let you all know that the Saskatchewan novice show is to be
held April 4th 2009 in Lloydminster, and the Provincials will be held June 6th, 2009 in Saskatoon.
The 2009 Provincial show is going to have what is called a provincial elite class. People who are
qualified for Canadians in 2009 in Vancouver are allowed to compete. The SABBA exective
will be discussing the details in the coming weeks. I will keep you posted.

Over the past year, since I won the nationals in 2007. Questions were continually being asked
if I was going to step onto the larger stage. The answer is YES.........where?? New York
when?? May 16th 2009. I took 2008 off to spend time with my family. Something that was much
needed. During this time off, I had time to reflect and discuss with my wife and kids,
if I should compete at the pro level. We made the decision back in July of this year. I
just needed to select a show. Now it is done. My training in 2008 has been nothing shy
of intense. With the date selected, it is now time to push it over the top.

Over the past 3 months I have slowly increased my body weight to 231lbs. My goal for this year
is to hit around 240lbs. I have never achieved this in the past. However, with the excitement and
support of my family, I think I can achieve it.

Things I would like to see different for myself in 2009, is a wider Back and more of a bicep
to my hamstring appearance. With that being said, here is my last back and hamsting workout:

Wide Grip Pull Downs to the front- 20X140lbs, 15X160lbs, 12X180lbs, 10X200lbs, 10X220lbs.
Straight Bar Row- 10X135lbs, 10X225lbs, 8X275lbs, 8X225lbs.
Dumb bell Row- 10X110lbs, 10X120lbs, 10X130lbs, 10X140lbs
High Pull Row- 10X150lbs, 10X180lbs, 10X210lbs, 10X240lbs
Hammer Pull Down- 10X90lbs, 10X180lbs, 10X270lbs
One Arm Hammer Row- 10X90lbs, 10X135lbs, 10X180lbs
Seated Row- 10X150lbs, 10X180lbs, 10X210lbs
Behind pull downs- 10X105lbs, 10X120lbs, 10X135lbs.

Seated leg curl- 12X100lbs, 12X120lbs, 12X140lbs, 12X160lbs.

Training has been going great over the last year. I would definitely like to make an impact
in New York in 2009.

Coming soon I will have a forum attached to my site. Where I can answer questions, and we all can
be interactive. Thanks to Jamie Polson, greatly appreciated.  The forum is in the trial stage. Go ahead and check it out http://www.fitnnutrit.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl
