Training For My
1st Natural Professional Masters Contest at 64 |
|
By Scott "Old
Navy" Hults |
|
My name is Scott "Old Navy" Hults. I am a retired U.S. Navy Captain. I got the nickname, "Old Navy" from my fellow gym rats while I was preparing to enter my first bodybuilding contest in 2004 at the age of 61. My training was intense. The guys would say things like,
"Hey, Old Navy, slow down man, take it easy, you aren't that young anymore." What they didn’t understand was, to me, age is a statistic not a burden. Nevertheless, I like the nickname so I kept it.
In March of 2005, after training for 10 months, I entered my first competition, a non-tested NPC event. In the following 21 months I entered 15 more tested and non-tested contests, winning 31 weight, height and age class trophies, including the 2006 FAME WNSO Men's Masters 60+ World Championship in Toronto in June, and at 63 years of age, my Masters Pro Card at the 2006 NGA National Bodybuilding & Figure World Championships in Georgia in September and a second Masters Pro Card at the 2 006 IDFA Canadian Classic II in Toronto in November 2006.

Does
Age Affect Your Training?
|
|
By Scott "Old
Navy" Hults |
|
In a word, yes. Age does affect your training. That's the short answer. But how it affects your training is really up to the individual. If you are 20-something, you can train until you drop, and other than being tired and maybe a little sore, the effects wear off quickly and soon you are ready to hit it again.

Training
For My First Competition
|
|
By Scott "Old
Navy" Hults |
|
On January 1, 2004, I was a 60
year-old, 158 pounds, out-of-shape retired U.S. Navy Reserve
Captain. After my retirement from the Navy, I no longer was required
to stay fit and pass a service-wide semi-annual Physical Readiness
Test, so I slacked off. Although I went to the SportPlex gym in
Birmingham, Alabama regularly, I generally spent more time gabbing
with my fellow gym rats than I did working out. The
