Doug,
That is awesome man. Stinks that they had to accommodate the younger guy and not show respect to there elder. But never the less. You have made me and I am sure many others proud. You are such an inspiration to me personally. Cant wait to see the pics when posted. Once again Congrats on your results.
That is incredible Doug! Congratulations on a great finish! So close to winning the show at 53... truly remarkable man! Well done! Can't wait to see those ripped pics bro
:clap2:
Awesome job Doug !!! I'm 47 gonna be 48 in Feb ... thinking of doing my first show next Nov (13 months) ... your an inspiration and I can only hope to be able to come close to what you have done !! Great job !!!!
Doug... as always you amaze us All and I know you will amaze everyone on stage, do what you do best my friend... Knock them all DEAD!!!
Oh & totally in for the show picts... See if you can get someone to do a small video at the show so you can post it on youtube and put the link up here!
it'As long as you are happy with the results Doug, then you should be very proud. You gave someone 9 years your junior a run for his money, well done!!! Sounds like you would have not been a lonely man after if you were not married either.
DreamWeaver said:I am ok with evertything that went down, made it better for me made me really up my game...it was thrilling really...
Yah I am just glad I could really make it close... I got stopped by a couple young women on the way out and they told me that they thought I was awesome, I was really impressing the women at the show so I am good with that lol
If that aint something that makes you say yeah baby. Come on honey we have some business to tend to I dont know what does. Lmao
DreamWeaver said:Like I said it's nice to hear but I am dedicated to my wife... besides she was right there when they were telling me.
Lol no I was saying after hearing the other people hooting for you, you tell the wife to hurry up cause you both have some business to take care of. Lol... Oh goodness sometimes reading what one types can be completely meant the wrong way.
Good work Doug, competing at 53 is awesome! So, any follow-up show plans???![]()
Well, you're the winner in my book, bro. Everyone your age was just afaid to show up!!
And I'd rather have the approval of the ladies rather than some male judges.
I know you guys muat be aching for news, well I did not win but I almost stold the whole show ... yah there's a story...
First of all I ran into the same situation as last year I was the only one over 45 which is the Masters.. They changed my category to accomodate a 44 year old so here I was again behind the 8 ball... But I was not the same lame old fugger I was last year!! I watched the guy practice posing and I knew if I could come in strong I could get him.!! I swallowed a couple scoops of N2KTS and some creatine nitrate and went to work... I got a great pump and found a place on the backstage wall where I could do some really good pullups...
On stage I purposely delayed hitting my poses to guage crowd reaction and I know I was getting most of the response and it was the women that were responding.. cool, I know I posed well and my arms and legs were much bigger than his...I milked the crowd for all it was worth and hoped for the best.
Now it just so happens that my wife was sitting behind the judges and she heard them say to the guy who picked up the results that it was not a unanomous decision .. damn I knew it was going to be close!!
Turns out he got the decision and he went to win the overall ... and I know if I would have won I would have won the overall as the masters was the strongest division... I was big I was lean and striated and I posed like an animal.. I have no regrets...
There were some women behind my wife that were catcalling me, my wife turned around and said hey that's my husband, the girl said well he's still hot and I'd take him home lol he won the show I won the ladies... oh and there was a woman judge so I am guessing that's where the vote came from... I feel really good about that and at 53 I almost stole the whole show!! Pics should be coming next week sometime...
Dang Doug you leaned out nicely. And you had way better abs. Overall great job.
Congrats Doug, sorry to have been absent. You know how chaotic things can get. Hope all is well and you have enjoyed some good grub! Thos sandwiches you talked about sounded awesome. Of course the ladies loved the Silver Fox, I don't think that was ever in question! I am happy that you closed the door on your career with a performance and condition that can carry you on with pride!
Well done Doug, WELL DONE!!!!

From this picture alone your legs were way better than his, the rest I would have to see different poses to give you honest opinion, but you look amazing, nothing short of AMAZING Bro, congrats!
The other guy looks like he has gyno... I would be interested in confirming that from another angle but Doug looks leaner just from this view. Also, you legs are better clearly and so are your abs.

Plus, his wallet will thank him for taking a supp break. All this "natty" stuff costs WAY more than real AAS does.That probably is best to give your body a break and recuperate some![]()
