My long journey back to competitive wrestling shape in my Late 40s ...It had been 20 years since I won the Division III College New England Championship as a trim 126-pound fifth year senior at nationally ranked Rhode Island College.I had ballooned to almost 200 pounds and fallen out of the kind of extreme athletic shape I had reached in my young 20's. I had a wife and kids, a demanding job and no spare time for myself. So, when I finally crossed that line and exceeded 200 pounds, something inside me snapped and I embarked on a journey of renewal that changed my life.Following is the story of how I took back my body from the ravages of time; how I implemented a six point plan to whip myself into the kind athletic shape I enjoyed in my 20s; how I retrained my body, reawakened my muscles and reworked my way back to the wrestling mat in an unlikely, dream to compete for the USA Wrestling National Championship in my late 40s.Balancing work, family, vacation and time this unique story details how I implemented Step 1: The Food Plan, Step 2: The Measurement Plan, Step 3: The Exercise Plan, Step 4: The Strength Plan, Step 5: The Disclosure Plan and Step 6: The Workout Plan along my journey to push myself toward the stretch goal of competing for a National Championship.
