The demand for body building supplements such as protein powder and other similar things remains high as many individuals across the world seek to reach their peak fitness levels. It is often thought that such activity is only for the young, but one man has shown this is not necessarily the case. Recently, 69-year-old Alec Dewdney showed that it is possible to be in impressive physical shape later in life too. The fitness fanatic began his endeavours in bodybuilding four years ago when it became apparent he would need additional strength in order to help his wife, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. He began his training regime at the YMCA in Cobourg and soon met up with trainer Dave Avery, who was sufficiently impressed with his efforts that he encouraged him to participate in a local contest. After three months of intensive training and special dietary routines, he managed to achieve success. Commenting on this, Mr Dewdney said: "The results were astounding ... and I finished in first place in the Super Grand Master division which is for those 60 and over." Since then, he has competed in three more competitions and he recently triumphed at the Fitness and Modelling Entertainment World Bodybuilding Championship. Meanwhile, remarking on his chance to be involved in Mr Dewdney's efforts, Mr Avery stated: "It was an honour and a pleasure to work with Alec. He's a dedicated and inspiring individual that has really opened my eyes to what a so-called 'senior citizen' can do. He inspires me to be an even better trainer." There are many things that individuals can do to improve their performances when they engage in physical activities of this nature and taking body building supplements such as protein powder is just one of them. Of course, a significant amount of hard work at the gym is also required.
