My time with Sean Calder
By Shayne P. Norton

At first honestly I did not meet him, I more or less seen him one day and envied his physique, not knowing what type of a guy he is. On first site I had seen Sean in the locker room removing his shirt to change and go workout. Well I saw those huge abdominal muscles that were just incredible. To give you an image of what I looked like at the time here it is I was 5’3” tall at 193 pounds I believe around that time I was a big 26% body fat, yeah I was a big fat 26 year old average American. So after that I wanted and I was determined to change my life to get that physique. Well it wasn’t the beginning that I was friends with Sean it was when I hit the plateau where I finally had time to speak with Sean. The reason was I had a work out partner that talked to him before. So Sean talked to the both of us and at the time was speaking a lot of terms that were gibberish to me.

So I had to go home and look some things up and ask Sean to put things in lameness terms so that I can understand. At that point I was interested in doing a Bodybuilding competition and Sean was willing to teach Will (my workout partner) and I how to pose. So we agreed and thus begun an incredible friendship. We then had each others wives meet and hang out so I would fly down to see Sean just to workout and talk about life and how we grew up, as well as what we thought was important in our lives, and a few times he helped in situations where bodybuilding was hurting my life and bring me back to reality.

So now you can find me and Sean as friends supporting each other in any way that we can, and we both received what we wanted. So now I am down to an impressive 4.4% body fat and I have another friend. But the number might change in recent days when I have to compete the same day as Sean in the Washington Ironman, and Sean in a National Show, Gods Speed.

Sincerely,
