Women's Bodybuilding
While not as widely participated in as Physique, Women's Bodybuilding did still bring together some high caliber athletes. In the Masters 45+ Class, long time competitor Dawn Alison placed 2nd to Newfoundland's Heather Manuel. From BC, Dawn has been an active member of the Fitness community for many years, her 'FitbodyBC' Team of athletes always represent well at competitions from regionals to nationals. She also placed 3rd in Open Heavyweight and 1st with partner Brandon Best in the couples division! A number of competitors from the 45+ group did double duty in Open as well, including class winners Faye Wlad and Robin Eve. Three strong contenders in Masters Heavyweight, Alberta's Pearl Binder won the class and the Overall Pro Card, good muscle size, shredded and vascular! Impressive non-masters competitors in the open division were Heather King in Light-Heavyweight and Overall Champion Nicki Chartrand in Heavyweight.

Our thoughts draw to us whatever is dominating our mind,

“Like success,
failure is many things to many people.
With positive mental attitude,
failure is a learning experience,
a rung on the ladder,
and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again.”

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer,
it sings because it has a song.
By your own soul,

And if men thwart you take no heed.
If men hate you have no care.

Hope your hope
and pray your prayer.

Any great achievement is preceded by many difficulties
and many lessons;
great achievements are not possible without them.
The easiest way to set goals is to answer the following questions:
What is it I want to achieve?
When do I want to achieve it?
Where am I today
and what action do I need to take to achieve my goal?
Great things are not done by impulse,
but by a series of small things brought together.
The roots of true achievement lie in
the will to become the best that you can become.

The galleries are full of critics.
They play no ball,
they fight no fights.
They make no mistakes because they attempt nothing.
Down in the arena are the doers.
They make mistakes because they try many things.
The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure.
He is the one who never tries anything.
His is the brake on the wheel of progress.
And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes,
because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing,
does nothing,
except criticize those who do things.

You have to do the right thing.
It may not be in your power,

But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing.
You may never know what results come from your action.
But if you do nothing,
there will be no result.

Don't let your history interfere with your destiny!
Let today be the day you stop being a victim of your circumstances

and embrace the truth of your greatness.

Here’s to the weak ones.
The outcasts.
The broken.
The peacemakers.
The ragamuffin royalty who will inherit a new world.
The ones who see God through open eyes and open hearts.
They don’t long for power.
And they have no respect for status.
You can insult them, spread lies about them,
disbelieve, vilify or persecute them.
About the only thing you can’t do is dishearten them.
Because God is changing them, they change things.
They comfort.
They show mercy.
They heal.
They mourn with those who mourn.
They love.
They are filled to overflowing with goodness.
And while some may see them as the weak ones,
I say they are blessed.

They don't SEE what seeds you've been planting with blood, sweat, tears and lack of sleep.
Make sure you don't abandon or neglect it because "they" don't see it.
You have to KNOW and believe for yourself.
They don't see the roots and what's budding under the dirt.
But it's okay, because it's NOT meant for them to see it.
While you wait, MASTER it.
You continue to do YOUR work and have unwavering faith!
Remember why you started planting in the first place.

Everyone knows on any given day that
there are energies slumbering in him
which the incitements of that day do not call fourth. …
Compared with what we ought to be,
we are only half awake.
Our fires are damped,
our drafts are checked.
We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources. …
Stating the thing broadly,
the human individual thus lives fare within his limits
he possesses powers of various sorts he habitually fails to use.
Far better it is to dare mighty things,
to win glorious triumphs,
even though checkered by failure,
than to take rank with those poor spirits
who neither enjoy nor suffer too much,
because they live in the gray twilight
that knows not victory nor defeat.
Everything in the universe is within you.
Ask all from yourself.

it will beat you to your knees

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain’t about how hard you hit.
It’s about how hard you can get hit

how much you can take

That’s how winning is done!
Now, if you know what you’re worth,
then go out and get what you’re worth.
But you gotta be willing to take the hits,
and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody.
Cowards do that and that ain’t you.

Objectives are not fate; they are direction.
They are not commands; they are commitments.
They do not determine the future;
they are means to mobilize the resources

Until one is committed,
there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
The moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

That is simply not true.
We can do anything we want If we don't do something,
it is because we have committed our time, energy and resources somewhere else.
For the most part,
most people most often choose comfort
the familiar, the time-honored, the well-worn but well-known.
After a lifetime of choosing between comfort and risk,
we are left with the life we currently have.
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT WHAT YOU HAVE
YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING YOU AREN’T CURRENTLY DOING....

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,

“REMEMBER YOUR GREATNESS

Before you were born,
And were still too tiny for
The human eye to see,
You won the race for life
From among 250 million competitors.
And yet,
How fast you have forgotten
Your strength,
When your very existence
Is proof of your greatness.
You were born a winner,
A warrior,
One who defied the odds
By surviving the most gruesome
Battle of them all.
And now that you are a giant,
Why do you even doubt victory
Against smaller numbers,
And wider margins?
The only walls that exist,
Are those you have placed in your mind.
And whatever obstacles you conceive,
Exist only because you have forgotten
What you have already
Achieved.

6 years ago today I “Dawn” got married to my good friend Brandon Best...
and we are stronger & more in love today than the day we said “I do” & “I do too”....
“It is not a lack of love,
but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
We entered into friendship through a mutual love “BODYBUILDING”
and thanx to the bodybuilding forum www.rxmuscle.com
& BLACKBERRY MESSANGER (the greatest technology of its day imo)
and us both getting a Blackberry cell phones...
which it allowed us to be in constant contact
and our friendship quickly grew as we got to know each other from a distance separating us by a divide of 2 countries & 2422 miles....
On Sept 23rd we met in Las Vegas baggage claim for the 1st time in person,
we went straight to get a marriage license...
then enjoyed the festivities of the OLYMPIA WEEKEND
and on Sunday got married....
and this was one of the greatest decisions of my life...
“Friendship- my definition- is built on two things. Respect and trust.
Both elements have to be there.
And it has to be mutual.
You can have respect for someone,
but if you don't have trust,
the friendship will crumble.”
I know in part of why this relationship works beside the common interest of Bodybuilding,
beside the mutal respect & trust we have for each other,
and in some ways we are polar opposites, as Brandon says I’m a YING to his YANG....
but another important thing is,
we both have been instilled with OLD WORLD VALUES from our upbringing that seems so rare these days....
here’s to many more years of friendship, love & happiness xoxo

for what it makes of you to accomplish it.
What it makes of you
will always be the far greater value than what you get.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
Do not wait;

“Only once in your life, I truly believe,
you find someone who can completely turn your world around.
You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul
and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.
You share hopes for the future,
dreams that will never come true,
goals that were never achieved
and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.
When something wonderful happens,
you can’t wait to tell them about it,
knowing they will share in your excitement.
They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting
or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself.
Never do they hurt your feelings
or make you feel like you are not good enough,
but rather they build you up
and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.
There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition
but only a quiet calmness when they are around.
You can be yourself
and not worry about what they will think of you
because they love you for who you are.
The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk
become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever.
Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again.
Colours seem brighter and more brilliant.
Laughter seems part of daily life
where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all.
A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work
and always brings a smile to your face.
In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation,
but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby.
Things that never interested you before
become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you.
You think of this person on every occasion
and in everything you do.
Simple things bring them to mind
like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.
You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day
and in opening your heart,
you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.
You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you.
You find strength in knowing you have a true friend
and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.
Life seems completely different,
exciting and worthwhile.
Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Give a man a bow and arrow and tell him to, “SHOOT!”
and his first response would be, “At what?”
When there is no target there is no purpose for shooting.
He could shoot the arrow anywhere
and wherever the arrow ended up would be where the arrow ended up.
Not much to it.


On the other hand,
if you gave the archer a target
and challenged him to hit the bulls-eye
everything changes.
You now gave him something to aim at,
something to challenge his skills against,
something to measure his progress with,
and something that gives all of his effort
purpose.
All by adding in a simple target.


That’s what a goal does to a person’s life
It changes everything.
You were given a life and you’ve been told ever since to, “live it.‘
Well, in order to answer that question your first thought should be, “By doing what?”
And that is the key focusing question that sets the basis for this list!


Everybody in this world has a different set of circumstances,
different set of skills,
and a different set of opportunities
through which they can interact with the world
and find their unique sense of fulfillment.
You’re mission in life should be to figure out what your unique,
“sets” are and how you can take action to best capitalize on them
that gives all of your effort purpose and meaning.
Goals are the guiding light that get you there

I could not have done it without my mom never giving up on me,
to her I am forever grateful.
A big thank you to my Addictions Doctor Douglas Coleman
for steering me in the right direction and giving me straight.
I could not have done it without the help of NA (Narcotics Anonymous)
12 step program of unparalleled success,
that works if you work it, its simple & its free.
I could not have done it without some real and true friends,
my best friend Karyn Creighton McCallister who has been my friend since I was 8 yrs old
and has seen me through a lot of dark times.
Once I said to her over 20 yrs ago...
“If you are still my friend after all the things I’ve done and put you through,
YOU ARE TRULY MY FRIEND”
& to my dear friend Paul Hammill who I have known for 22 yrs...
he knew me in addiction,
he knew me in my recovery,
he is my ROCK...
and without his help many a time,
through some tough times in the last 20 yrs of recovery,
he helped pull me through....
to him for that I’m forever grateful....
I am thankful for friends who stand by me through the ups and downs of life.
My truest friends are those who know everything about me,
but love me just the same.

Good tricep workout was like a continuous bodyweight dip.
Lucky I got good upper body strength.
Recovery from both lower legs surgery "Bilateral Anterior Deep Compartment Relief" is the correct name for procedure.
Happy to be on ROAD TO RECOVERY and finally be able to TRAIN FOR A SHOW PAIN-FREE FOR ONCE ☺

recovery from surgery is being a bit harder on me than I expected.
Ended up 2 nights in hospital.
Needed a walker to walk for a few days.
Sunday was my 1st day out of house only for 3 hrs to go to posing and even though mostly sitting,
the blood going into lower legs due to sitting upright as opposed to either lying in bed or sitting in bed with legs straight,
caused a lot of swelling and pain and ended back in hospital monday morning.
Everything checked out fine I’m just going to have to take it easy.
Even sitting at computor is hard again due to pressure from blood going to lower legs.

why not accept the fact that a good choice yields desirable fruit?
No matter what,

engagement over apathy,
kindness over indifference,

passion rules us all,

Passion is the source of our finest moments.
The joy of love…

"Don’t Quit."

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

Feb 23, 2017 PT OF THE DAY
the below by TOP PREP COACH: Shelby Starnes is totally appropriate for the YOU VS YOU theme for today...........


Some things I've learned coaching others:

1. There is tremendous variability in individual response. Some need to work twice as hard to get half the results. This is not fair, but it's reality.

2. Many know what to do, but fail to execute. Being accountable to a coach, and having an objective eye, helps them go from average to great.

3. It's very hard to predict talent. Wide shoulders and tiny waist might be lazy AF. Narrow shoulders and wider waist might be an all-star workhorse. Sometimes it takes months to tease out these details. I know who I'll place my bets on.

4. Many overestimate the importance of the perfect plan, and underestimate the importance of brutal consistency. I'll take the 80% plan for 10 years every time, over the 100% plan you anguish over, never figure out, and never start.

5. Striving for balance is admirable, but don't be surprised when your progress is eclipsed by those who don't give a shit about balance.

6. Progress is rarely linear. Just because you accomplished "x" the first month, doesn't mean you'll accomplish "12x" in a year. Try more like 4x.

7. Working smarter always beats working harder, but the person with the higher pain tolerance will almost always have the upper hand.

8. Percentage-wise, most of your time will be spent on a plateau (the body just isn't an ever-expanding, ever-strengthening machine). You will also probably not win most of your shows, unless you only pick easy ones. So attach your idea of success to something other than constantly being in the spotlight and constantly setting new PRs.

who comes short again and again,

because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;

but who does actually strive to do the deeds;

who knows great enthusiasms,

who spends himself in a worthy cause;

who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,

and who at the worst, if he fails,

at least fails while daring greatly,

so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls

who neither know victory nor defeat.”

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

think you can and you can....
think you can't and you're right you can't.
It's all a matter of a made up mind...
YOU CHOOSE.
it's not your environment or what you have that makes you happy.
It's you deciding in this moment I AM HAPPY 

“The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams is you.”
“Like success,
failure is many things to many people.
With positive mental attitude,
failure is a learning experience,
a rung on the ladder,
and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again.”
“Success is not final,
failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.
“Only those who dare to fail greatly
can ever achieve greatly.”

“Live the Life of Your Dreams....
When you start living the life of your dreams,
there will always be obstacles,
doubters, mistakes and setbacks along the way.
But with hard work,
perseverance
and self-belief there
is no limit to what you can achieve.”
“Don’t let others tell you what you can’t do.
Don't let the limitations of others limit your vision.

“It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who
is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs, who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls
who neither know victory nor defeat.”

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,

and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,

he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

He will put some things behind,

will pass an invisible boundary;

new, universal,

and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him;

or the old laws be expanded,

and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense,

and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.”

a desire, a dream, a vision.
They have to have the skill,
