Contest History:

Future Goals:
Continue to improve and learn from the great and generous people at the OCB and to share that knowledge with anyone who cares to listen.  Also, to do all I can to promote natural bodybuilding and bring it the recognition it deserves.  Finally, I'm anxious to see what kind of gains can be made when you reach 40 and over.

Frank's Tips:
Never stop learning.  Never stop asking questions but don't ever think you can use everyone's advice.  You'll go crazy.  Depend on the science as it's improving every day.  Train like your life depends on it. Don't make excuses.  You'll get out of this sport what you put into it. And finally, be prepared to spend some money.  Bottom line...if you're going to do this right it will cost you in food, supplements, travel, etc., but the expense will be worth it.
