JANUARY
2007
It's been a busy few months, training to reach peak condition at age 64, taking photos, and completing the Winter edition of Building the Body Quarterly Magazine. I was able to get in my best shape in over a decade and this Winter issue describes all the details of my workouts, diet, and motivation along with photos of the condition I achieved by the middle of December 2006. You may want to subscribe if you don't already. Most of all I proved to myself that age
is no barrier to physical improvement and I intend to be in even better shape in
2007. One thing I did learn is that as you get older you have to allow
more time to get in shape. I did everything possible to reach peak
condition, dieting, training two even three times a day, 1000 reps of abdominal
work daily, and eventually 1 an In addition to all the details of my peaking preparation, this issue has articles about 1. The Best Abdominal Exercises - What I did for abs this time around; 2. A Jason Hay cartoon depicting my reasons for peaking; 3. The 4 Levels of the Aging Process by Ed Kellogg, PhD; 4. Reflections on the Current Crop of Bodybuilders - as seen through the eyes of Arnold's ex girlfriend; 5. The all new Leg Blaster Elite - this new model Leg Blaster now available is my all time favorite; 6. Whole Body Vibration - you can get it with the new Soloflex WVB; 7. Building Winter Immunity - ways to prevent winter colds and flu; 8. Changing from Antagonistic Muscle Training - my new training routine and why I'm doing it; 9. Understanding Thyroid Measurements by David Leonardi, M.D. - "If your thyroid is slow on your body fat will grow"; 10. Frankly Speaking about the aftermath of peak condition training - I'm still in great shape and plan to stay that way. Good Luck in your training, FZ

a half hours of aerobics a day. I trained using a three way split:
Day 1 - torso, Day 2 - legs, Day 3 - arms and did these workouts in a 5 day
cycle: train torso first day, rest second day (not really a rest because I did
1000 ab reps and up to 1.5 hours aerobics), train legs third day, train arms
fourth day, rest 5th day. My diet was very strict: 180 grams of protein,
under 60 grams of carbs and fat a day. I took lots of supplements,
especially free form amino acids, extra tryptophan, arginine, and glutamine.
My Cutting Edgetm Egg White Protein became my lunch. I
gradually lost fat and even built lean muscle mass.
