The Madson Birthday Challenge
I wanted to develop a challenge that would be equal for
all experienced athletes that are the optimum weight for their height, and still give the
younger athletes a chance to compete against us "old guys." I call it
"The Madson Birthday Challenge."
It is based on your age, and five "body weight"
related exercises that must be completed within 25 minutes. Click on each photo to
enlarge.
Exercise #1:
Your age in pull-ups. I'm 48. |
|
Exercise #2:
Your age in dips. I'm still 48. |
|
Exercise #3:
Twice your age in push-ups. That's
96 for me. |
|
Exercise #4:
Climb a 16' peg board, twice in a row. |
|
Exercise #5:
A true "one-handed" pull-up,
with each hand. |
  
|
Again, all 5 must be completed within 25 minutes.
If you can successfully do this challenge, then please
call or email me, because I would like to congratulate you.
The restoration of a 1952 Madson:
That's me, of course! I used to restore old cars
into high performance vehicles for about $25,000 by putting in a bigger engine, beefing up
the suspension, and giving it a new paint job. So, last year I decided to restore
myself. I read the "Body for Life" book, I wrote down a plan, and followed
it. With the right kind of workout, nutritional diet, and supplementation, I now
have the experiences of a 48-year-old, the body of a 24-year-old, and the imagination of a
12-year-old that hasn't realized the boundaries of reality.
Below are before-and-after photos of my 12-week E.A.S.
transformation (Experimental and Applied Sciences). Click on each photo to enlarge.
My Cave Man pictures:
If you think these pictures are touched up because they
are too good to be true, thank you for the compliment!
Other life transformations and adversities:
| 1.) |
Was extremely poor as a child. Our
father left us when I was in the third grade. I now own a very successful
corporation. |
| 2.) |
Was the smallest kid on our high school
football team, at 135 lbs. I played starting right tackle. |
| 3.) |
Transformed a Model A Coupe, rebuilding it
completely from the ground up, into the fastest car around, before I graduated from high
school. |
| 4.) |
Was one of the smallest kids on the high
school wrestling team, was voted Most Valuable Player, Team Captain, and helped coach our
state champion after I graduated. |
| 5.) |
Started my own Welding & Maintenance
business at a rate of $6.00 per hour. Retired at a rate of $42.00 in 1989 as the
highest paid welder. |
| 6.) |
Worked as a Nuclear Code Welder at Fairbanks
Morse, and received four labor grade raises in four months, in a union shop! |
| 7.) |
I had one of the best marriages with 2 great
children. Unfortunately, my wife divorced me because I was a workaholic. I
still managed to help raise 2 really great children. |
| 8.) |
Completed Antony Robin's "Personal
Power" 30 day program to unlimited success, and "Personal Power Weekend." |
| 9.) |
Started my "Madson Crossfire
Distributor Cap" business with less than $1,000 and successfully competed against the
multi-million dollar Moroso corporation that made the "Corrector Cap"
distributor. |
| 10.) |
Transformed my lawn mower into a 40 MPH
racing machine and made the "Madson Pro Street Lawnmower Video." It is now
being used as a teaching aid in Industrial Art classes all over the United States. |
| 11.) |
Transformed my mom's completely-worn-out
1985 4-door Cadillac Fleetwood into a 12 second quarter mile racing machine. It is
as fast as a new ZR1 Corvette or Dodge Viper in the quarter mile. |
| 12.) |
Transformed my 16-aspirin-per-day wreck of a
body into a Body of Work in only 12 weeks. |
