Watching the Olympia - I Used to be Buff....
I'm taking a night off of Steemit (or am I?) to watch the Olympia competition. This is a side many of you guys might not know about me. Once upon a time, I was into bodybuilding and powerlifting. I even had a pretty good physique for quite awhile. It sort of faded this last year with all of our energy going into the twins and other commitments. I haven't been to the gym in probably 10 months!
Once upon a time.....Hopefully, I will be able to get back into shape once the house is built and we are settled. I think there should be some room for a modest home-gym in the basement.
PowerliftingAnyway, if you are interested in watching the spectacle, which is the Olympia, the live stream can be found at iherb.com/olympia. The live stream starts at 7pm pacific Friday and Saturday night but usually the action doesn't start until about an hour or more after that.
As always I'm @canadianrenegade and here's the proof:

I love the contrast with that slobbing out picture... oddly you left your shirt on for that one?!

Aimee and I were laughing about that too. We were parked on the couch eating snacks while watching a contest about attaining physical perfection...
Always time to bring it back - and another series of posts for the future documenting the process.
I'm actually trying a no snack week this Mon-Fri - just three small vegetarian meals a day.
Then a 10 pinter Saturday.

So the 10 pinter is the re-feed then? 😉
It's more pre-loading before the Domino's work-out.

Sounds challenging! I'm sure you'll find a way to manage it though...
Woohoo! Awesome ❤ really cool! Love life's ebs& flows 💪 i've been i bit of a gym buff too lol
I am not watching the Olympia but, i think my friend Annette Milbers is showing! She helped me pose for this pic. Which was taken by David Ford LOL....it's fun to look back. It's great to be were i am. And, the future is fun to imagine.
Enjoy the show ✌🌅🦋
Nice shot! It certainly is fun being fit and being able to show it off! I know nothing of it personally, but I try to keep up appearances! :-D
Thanks for sharing! Nice arms and shoulders. You said you were a bit a gym buff so you must have done some weights? Or was that just from yoga?
What division does your friend compete in? There are so many now and do you know how she did?
And yes you are right even if the old bod ain't what it used to be it is nice to have the pictures and memories!
Is that top pic you?? My husband also loves to lift. It’s the reason I refer to him as “the Big Man” lol. He can’t do as much as he’d like to now though, because he hurt his back pushing it too far.
Yes, that is me! Back before I had children and had the time and energy to train! LoL
Dude.....I always thought you were a cool MF, now I learn you were a powerlifter? #levelup
Thanks! I have varied interests and not enough time to pursue them all to the extent I would like.
My Friend. Your body has become magnificent. Now be the champion
My body was magnificent..... :(
lol You did the papa pepper thing.
I had never heard of Olympia. I watch American Ninja warrior sometimes. I dream about how I could do that. But my real strength is just in "gotta get done stuff". I have never had much time for "buff for the hell of it." I think it is cool for those that do... I just never got into it.
Cool man! Get settled and show your kids and wife what'cha got!! :-P

Yeah that is mainly why the bod is fading. Just so many more important things to do right now. I'm still hoping that at some point in the future I will have time to get back into it.
The strength from the powerlifting was actually useful, though probably not enough to justify the time spent on it.
