That's why these guys spend hour after hour in the gym, fine-tuning their bodies all the while giving up chocolate cake and Twinkies . ■ { "That’s what you train for. the one minute of glory that you get.” says Cary Woodte. a University senior in history. "It’s not like football or basketball where you always get to play and always get to be seen. "It is something where you stay in the dark dungeon, the gym, and you-train for one or two years; then you come back out for a minute at night, and that’s your glory. And than you go bark to the gym." That one minute of glory comes when body builders are given a chance to do optional freestyle posing during competitions. Usually, that time comes after a hard day of prejudging, and it is the part spec tator* usually get to see. By the time the night show rolls around, the Judg ing and competition are done, and the results an* in, although the competitors are not told who has won "At the night show, that 's pretty much of a show for the spectators and for the competitors to have fun," says Dave Shew, a University senior. "The pressure is basically off then, and you are just out there to have a good time. It is your 60 seconds to let louse and have fun with all the hard work you've been doing. It's great." And all in the name of body building. Woodle arid Shew, who both workout at Help's Body Building and Health Club, will get the chance to display the results of their years of hard work later this month during the Seventh Annual Emerald Empire Body Building Championships. The competition, to be held May 31 at the Ijine County fairgrounds, will have four Emerald Empire divisions: men's and women's novice and open com petition. There, will also be competition in over 35. Collegiate and teenage divisions ’ According to Mark Help. a member of the family that owns Help's, there should ire approximately 70 people jn the competition. He thinks the largest groups will be in either the collegiate division, in which anyone taking 12 college credit hours may enter, or tho teenage division, which is for people 19 and under V . ;v Help says even though people may tie working out with weights, it may take two or three months to actually prepare for a competition During that period of concentrated training, body builders heavily em phasize diet in an effort to cut their body fat down, sometimes to as low as 4 percent. Preparing for competition is a very individual thing. Help says. "During our Iasi contest, one guy about killed himself through diet and stuff, and another guy. who was just as close to him in terms of definition (of muscles), just cut out beer fur two weeks." Help says. . ;' The judges for the contest will be looking for miiscularity, a combination of having large muscles and definition, as well as proportion and symmetry of the body and the shape of the muscles. Help says Shew says his strength in competitions is that he is "not overly big hut I am very symmetrical." Size in one of the things that brought Shew into body building. As a senior In high school, he was only about tt-2, 150 pounds. Now, ho competes at around 200 pounds. "I was Just small.. and 1 got tired of being that small. And I decided to do something about it,” says Shew, who has been weightlifting since he was about 15 years old. "It snowlralled and I decided I might want tu compete i saw those guys and decided they weren't that much better than I was.” So far. Shew has been serious about body building for the Inst three years, having entered four contests In 10H4, he won the Mr. Collegiate Southern Oregon contest and was third in last year's Mr. Col legiate Oregon. Although Woodln hasn't had as much com** petitive experience yet, he says he is in it to stay. "The day I started lifting weights In the gym was the day I was n serious lardy builder.” YVoodle says. "After graduation from high school. I made the con.it tment that I wanted to be a body builder. It has been 47 months." Maybe someday, Woodle says, he would like to turn his dream into something big like breaking into the professional world of body building or even Hollywood or endorsements. Also, he says he would like to opart his own gym "I like the gym. It's a com fortable at nmsphere." Woodle says he got interested in the sport through a surf of building process that started when he was younger. Watching his heroes on T.V. and reading Tarzan books! “Everything was sort of geared toward the bigger person and the:athlete And I was into urt also in high school! I was* painter, and the subjects i used to paint would be like .the muscular physique whether it be male or female. "I myself was only fi-1. 135 pounds as a senior in high school so i wasn't a big boy and being little guy. you do get picked on Everything came together, and I wanted to be a body builder." says Woodle. who says he has been as heavy as 250 pounds, but has been dieting and is now about 210 pounds As part of his diet. Woodle has had to give up eat ng "everything that tastes good in life: pizza, Oreo cookies, ice cream, apple pie." Instead, he has had to eat puffed wheat, oatmeal, fruit and very lean foods. "Mentally, it takes a lot of will power." Woodle says. "My roommate is a junk focal junkie, lie eats chocolate pie in front of me. Captain Crunch, Pop Tarts, Snickers bars.” Cary Woodle For physical training. both Woodle and Shew lift weights six days a week as well as doing some aerobic exercises such as riding a stationary bike. Both say they would like to run but are unable to because of bad knees and shins. "Training not only fine tunes your physique, it also prepares you for flexing for that long because it does take a lot out of you to hold that pose for 30 seconds. Then you relax and a couple of seconds later they ask you to do it agin." Shew says.

Oregon men's track and field coach Bill Beijinger, however, kick ed Boileau back onto the track and convinced him he had what it took to run for Oregon Boileau ran for the Bucks from 1977 to 1980. “We had some horses back then," he says, naming Alberto Salazar and Bill McChesney. Five of the team's members became Olympians Bellinger says he saw promise in Boileau. "I got him into a P.E. class — he wasn't even out for track,’’ Bellinger says. “I think he's an example of an individual with some talent. . if you stick with something long enough it pays off,*' “We won the NCAAs in cross country in 1977,” Boileau says. “1 was on the team then, but I didn't score in the meets. But those guys could run They were an inspiration. It's great to run with the best. Alberto — be was awesome.” Boileau is now able to run as much as he wants. when he wants. Unlike many Eugene runners. Boileau doesn’t have to schedule his training an>iiml work or school. He has earned a strong reputation as a distant.*' runner, and recently, Hoiieuu gained a shoe contra* t with Tiger International to support him. Boileau sits in blue Tiger sweats with clean Tiger running shoes on his size 13 feet. "Hig. aren't they?" he says, laughing He tells how strange hut necessary it felt at f’rat to be an "advertisement." , "That's what happened after '83. was to nail that thing ... because not too mony world-class run ners hold down jobs," Hoileau says. "You basically can’t work, especially if you're traveling a lot." Although he only runs in one or two marathons a year, he runs about eight or nine miles twice each day. However. Boileau says increased mileage shouldn't lie a runner’s goal. “Some people really get into the mileage Hut. you don't know what percentage of those are easy miles and if you're running poorly or at slow in tervals you should probably cut down." he says. "You train so you can run fast. You don't train so you can train more. "You only need to run about 2t) minute* a day. You’re better off running tin* ink. God knows what kind of shape some of those guys are in a week after the marathon," ho says with a grimace. For Boileau, the pain came three days after the Hoston Marathon "I'd say it's ahout like being DO years old. You come to a set of stairs and it's tough." he says. The five-foot-10-inch, 155-pound runner con siders himself "stocky" for a distance runner. "A lot of distance runners are skinny, hut the top three guys at Boston were all 150 pounds or heavier, which is big for a marathoner." he says. Aging is not a detriment to distance runners ac cording to Boileau. lie says running is a sport that c an l>e enjoyed throughout life, providing the run ner is careful. "A lot of people have success early in life. It’s Icetter to start off slow and gradually improve," he says. "There aren't too many 19-year-old record runners; most are in their mid-20s. . .Staying clear of injury is the main thing, and that's hard to do-as you net older." Good diet and relaxed running are necessary elements in a runner's life. Boileau says. Training doesn't mean going 100 percent all of the time. "People can get burned out. and that's dangerous," he says. So far. Boileau says he is not burned out and is definitely bound for the Olympics. He also says he will have a tough race when he heads for the Com monwealth Games on Aug. 2. in Kdinburgh. Scotland. Boileau says the race will be bigger, and he will run against de Gasteila again. "That's a big one — there are a lot of Africans. Kenyans, Tanzanians. It could lie a really good field if everyone shows up.” Dellinger says Boileau's running career is similar to his running style: He starts out moderate ly slow at first and then gradually increases his speed. "He's good now, but he’ll get better. He’ll become one of the internationally competitive marathoners." -w'Mmtr 4hiuutg: no20 Cut* by S«l«ct*<l Personnel ■zsmVMunM AWCcbunM -i2?9A&fcr 666-1496 464-64# WHW • m&PlM 464-2565 inauoes SHAMPOO.
