  OWEN, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE PAN AMS, BUT IT WILL DEPEND ON MY YOUNGEST SON AND WIFES HEALTH AT THE TIME, I VERY MUCH WANT TO MAKE AMERICAN MASTERS IN NOV, GARY

[John Wheeler]

Thanks so much for the advice Gary!  It was inspiring for me to see you lift last year as I remember as a kid reading about you in Strength and Health!  I am in year two now and am lifting at 105, my bodyweight is right at 100 kgs., in fact I used to lift in that class.  I train three days a week and am trying hard now to get stronger and funny enough I do drink whey protein, with a banana, and chocolate milk, lol.  I am going to NYC for the Masters Nationals, my first, and am hoping to keep improving.  I will also be heading to Savannah hopefully next November so i will be sure to introduce myself and say hello!

All the best Gary and continued health and success in your training!
