Ahhh, yoose guys are light weights. I'm 6'4", down to 280 from 350. 20 yrs ago I started
lifting weights as therapy after being runover. I got a bit carried away. I wasn't a body
builder per se. I was into power lifting, but then after putting on that much meat my joints
just couldn't handle it. As a kid into my 20s I was a cycling fool, but when i got hit it took
8 mos. to get where i could walk so, I spent a lotta time with weights making an upper body
that could move fast and far on crutches. by the time my legs started coming back I"d
forgotten about riding. I love the high country and prospecting so in summer I'd back-
pack all over using two walking sticks still carrying most of my weight with the upper
body. Started riding again at 60; still training hard. I've lost 70 pds. and am shootin
for 70 more by july.
