DAN DECKER
|
|
Dan Decker started lifting weights as a teenager as
part of his training for football. He achieved results
real fast, and began shifting his attention to
bodybuilding. After my senior year of high school, he
competed in a local bodybuilding contest in 1993 - the
NPC South Bend - where he took fourth place in the
teenage class. Soon after that he joined the US Navel
reserve. Right after boot camp I attended my
"A" school in Gulfport, Miss. Where, I learned
how to monkey around and operate Bull Dozers, 10 Ton
Tactical Dump Trucks, Graders, Front End Loaders etc.
When he came home after "A" school he decided
it was time to start competing again. This time he
entered a show in Evansville, IN. in 1994 called the
Event II Natural Bodybuilding Championships. This time
around he took second place in the teenage class and
took first place in the Men's novice middle weight
class. He then decided to take a couple years off from
competing to add some size. It ended up being several
years though. Dan stepped on stage again in 2003 at the
Musclemania in Chicago and took the light heavy class
and the overall. Then in 2004 Dan competed in the
Musclemania Super Body in Miami Florida and won the
light heavies there along with his Musclemania Pro card.
Dan then decided to try his luck in the NPC. So I
competed in the 2004 NPC Indiana State and won his
weight class and qualified for nationals. In August of
2006 Dan moved to Huntington Beach, California to pursue
all of his bodybuilding dreams. After moving there he
traveled up to "the Mecca" - Gold's Gym in
Venice beach to train on the weekends. In 2005 Dan
decided it was time to get back on stage again and get
noticed. So he competed in the Venice Beach Mr. Muscle
Beach on July 4th 2005.Dan ended up winning the overall
and got introduced to some of the top photographers in
the industry. Soon after that dan landed covers for
Musclemag Dec 2005, Iron Man Feb 2006 and a Prosource
Catalogue cover along with many publications for Ironman
and Musclemag and Ads for MRI (makers of NO2 and CE2).
After Muscle Beach it was time I decided to train for
the USA nationals in Las Vegas on July 28th-29th, 2006.
After a year of priority training and hard-core training
Dan was able to bulk up to 233 lbs and cut up to a very
shredded 212 pounds for the USA. In his first national
show Dan was able to place 7th in the heavies out of 34
national level guys in one of the toughest USAs ever. We
photographed Dan at the USA's and he looked great. In
2007 Dan will be aiming at the USA once again planning
to come in a very ripped 220-225 lbs. We are excited to
add Dan to our roster of top bodybuilders and fitness
