Art Atwood Passing & Funeral Arrangements

written Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 9:42pm from the desk of Steve Salmon.

Sunday, at about 2:30pm Art was walking through the pool area of the condo where he lives when he had a massive heart attack.

 We are not sure if he was going for a swim or just passing through the area, but he was not at a party. He was at the pool area of the condo where he lives.

 Two residents who were at the pool saw him fall in and immediately pulled him out. They were able to revive him and get the paramedics, but it was too late the damage was done and Art passed away at a hospital near by.

 The coronary report showed that Art died of a heart attack . The report also states he unknowingly suffered a minor heart attack about a month ago. As it turns out heart disease does run in his family.

 Arts companies Official Professional Supplements & Results Pro-Tan & Nutrition are survived by long-time friend & business partner Steven Salmon and a great team of employees. The companies will continue to grow and make Art's dreams a reality.

Filming the average days of the not so average.

Wednesday, Aug 31, 2011

 Over the past few months I have been involved in a span of documentary pieces with allow even friend of mine into part of me they have not seen or been aware of. I practice what I preach, but this informative and motivational set of videos will also explain where I encounter my drive and reasoning for what I do. It will go beyond average workouts and into the mind of the creator during intense sets and pre workout thoughts. It will go beyond shopping for food and into the details of why and what of nutrition applied to my lifestyle. The long road I have been has shaped who I am today. Always moving forward on my path. I hope each and every one who views my videos and the others involved can be left with something they can either relate too, reflect upon, learn or gain motivation into their own passions.

 

                                                                         All the best & have a blessed day!

Europa 2011 in CT wrap up

Monday, Aug 01, 2011

 After a journey of over 8 months of transformation in: mind,body,spirit, and diet;One of my clients Rob F. represented like a true Champion! This proves when my clients listen to me with an open mind and passion to achieve through hard work and sacrifice; the end results are only of success. From competing at a smaller framed 175 bodybuilder, Rob weighed in at a good 212 with room to fill out and dry out as the even approached. I was happy with his progress and know he will only improve. he is no different than I am in being able to always improve upon something from one show to the next. Not only did I encourage Rob to trust me in sharing my past experiences,but I decided to accompany him to the show and bring more motivation to the table for his long prep.

 

Here is a shot from the show where Rob walk out with two 2nd place heavy weight trophies in open and novice.

 

 

The event was a great chance to compete with not only a long time champion competitor "Luis Santiago" of my first shows in the sport back when I was in my teens, but a real honor to compete with Pro friends will World Harris and Jeff long.

Here is a shot Will took time to take with me backstage!

*Expect 2011 to continue the momentum!

Thank you all for the continued support.. as always

Posing Aint No Joke with "THE REAL DEAL CHRIS CORMIER"

Thursday, Jul 14, 2011

 

Posing is a valuable part of contest preparation as we all know. However not all body types are the same and can pose the same. 

With the proper tweaks during posing practice you can not only bring a more conditioned physique,but a bigger one as well!

I have been working with Chris Cormier in order to learn how to is play my body the best for now and how to dial my condition in even more by using his specific detailed posing practice protocols. They work and aint easy!

I will update with progress and how my week pans out for practicing and my methods of last week show preparations.
