Canadian Nationals / Mr. Canada history results

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Does anyone know where to find these results from the total begining? I don't even know what year it started in Canada. It would be nice to have a thread dedicated to this with the total history of all winners in Canada since the very begining.

If anyone wants to help out, please do so.

Hope this helps!

It is not complete but it is a good start. I'm sure if you email Gary Bartlet he may be able to help fill in the empty data.

WTF ? You were a middleweight in 1982?

[Sean Summers]

LOL. No, there are 2 Dan Kennedy's. One competed in the past and the other one (me) competes now.

I kinda thought that was the case but it could be possible , albeit unlikely.

look on the list in order and see that a couple guys went from light heavy to superheavy in 2 years..wow

Not to start a huge debate over this, but this was exactly my point about young up-and-coming bodybuilders (in the Antoine Valliant thread).. Look through the list of every single Junior, and take a look at what they're doing now.. With the exception of Jordan Janvier and Ian Hunter none of them have ever done piss **** all on a National level, and certainly not any level beyond that.

They burn out, plain and simple. Too many drugs at too early of an age. So when I hear comments like "Antoine will be a pro in 2 years, gauranteed" it blows my mind..

With that being said.. I think this section would be a good addition to the board.

"Piss **** all" I love it . My new curse phrase. I couldn't agree with you more.

true that

[t-bone]

hey 4031...i see ur on there as a class winner...eh asshole..lol

[t-bone]

4031 won as a lighweight few years back and at 5'2 is a fairly lean 195 right now

[4031]

When are you getting back on stage 4031? I think you're due for another appearance..

i will be back onstage next year at the nationals here in van

[Musclehead]

I'm not sure why the young guys kinda burn out, but I bet it has a lot to do with the VERY LITTLE support Canadian athletes get....especially bodybuilders. We have to work full time jobs and actually be able to diet for 16 weeks with training and then look perfect. Too bad.

What weight class?

[hazbin]

I don't agree they all burn out -- atleast physically. Some simply lose interest, get married, have kids and move on. Others suffer serious or naggin injuries that inable them to continue excelling. Money is a huge issue obviously and as they grow older they don't have the luxury of spending extra cash anymore due to added responsibilities

[dainbramaged]

I'd definitely agree with this, for sure. Considering as well that many young bodybuilders are ill-informed or just ignorant of what they're doing/taking, simply in an effort to be big. When they realize then, that they have the choice to remain 'on' to keep their freaky size, or to learn how to go the extra step beyond the anabolics/androgens and train, eat, live the lifestyle properly many times (not necessarily all but honestly, a vast majority) they inevitably fail. Obviously, again, for many people when they stay 'on' for long periods of time (which presupposes that they can afford it, either monetarily or through other life changing factors) there may be consequences. After all, wouldn't it be relatively safe to say that for every one or two young bodybuilders who don't get hit with physical problems, there are many who do? And consider the toll on the body at a younger age, when a lack of physical maturity is coupled with superhuman strength and size when 'on'. How many joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons etc get injured or degenerate rapidly? There's also the problem of trying to make further improvement upon a foundation that may have been falsely laid. When a young bodybuilder essentially 'peaks' at such a young age, where do they go from there? More AAS? Other drugs? Or learn, as I've said, to go beyond all that? For many, it's too much effort. If we're honest, don't we see multitudes of young bodybuilders jumping on the AAS bandwagon simply because they don't want to put the effort in? It's easier to pop some Dbol instead of getting under that squat bar and grunting/yelling on the last rep. It's a quick fix which leads to a quick burn out. Unfortunately in a lot of cases for younger lifters, leading to potential physical challenges later in life.
