Great to have you here, Cecil.  If anyone has any questions for Cecil, please ask

Hi Cecil! Was great to see you win your pro-card at notts this year, and nice to see you on Muscletalk!

Has it fully sunk in yet that your now an IFBB pro? Any nerves stepping up a level in competition, or do you relish the chalenge?

What's your training style, rep ranges, volume etc?

Cheers!

PS Cecil, when I say "So old" I mean just older than I expected.
 
At 41 its great to see guys "our" age achieving such feats.
 
 

Nice interview
 
As per Daz's questions really!!

Ces trains in my gym and it's all old school squats,deads and rows.Drop sets and pos/neg failure training.Hes not on the machines much if at all.Ive said this before but I've seen very few people train as hard as he does consistently.

About his elbow it's not injured just flares up from time to time.I sound like his number one fan now but really the way everyone was bigging up Dave T and Ces came in at like 100k and smashed it...after noone really considered him-well it's inspirational.Was awesome being onstage with him and I think he will do very well as a pro.

OLI

What are your plans for competing as a pro?

As you weighed 102kg (224lbs)

Will you do the open class or try and drop in to the 212lbs?

Great read and well done!
 
Seen him train at my gym and wow was he big. My training partner and I were like "Who the f*ck is that huge guy there?!" haha.
 
Really nice guy and was offering his help and advice to others.
 
Good luck for the future.

Hey dazc thanks for your comments,, yeah it's finally sunk in, i was waiting to heard from the U.S.   but now that i have  it really has hit home,, nerves!! well there are bit of nerves as going to next level is the new challenge but hey it's like starting all over again and given me a new jolt of excitment ,excited to see what i'll look like up there after all the hard work so am looking forward to it.
Training stlye!! always basic and heavy with high reps- bars and dumbells,, forces me to work hard and hard work is what gets me there,, am just as interested to see how things will turn out so roll on 2012 

Nice one Ollie the cheques in the post ha ha ha ha 
hey lets get the off season off to a good start, up the intensity, up the poundage, up the calories and up the muscle size,, hope you'll  feed of the energy ,,and be inspired to train just as hard roll on 2012 

Hey Aks cecil here thanks for your comments 
 

Hey Westy19  Cecil here,,Plans for my next comp is to give myself time to prepare weighing 224lb/16 stone,, at the british was good enough for that day but for the pro stage with my type of body and muscle i would have to be heavier in condition and a bit more developed then that so it's back work to make up the difference   

Well done Cecil and its good to see someone older still progressing and achieving. Brings back memories of Johnny Fuller, Albert Beckles and Bill Richardson, Wilf Sylvester etc... good luck.
