Luke Francis Trainor wants to win 7 gold medals in the 2022 natural bodybuilding season.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

With 2022 underway, everyone has New Year\u2019s resolutions. Some big, some small. And Luke Francis Trainor, a Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA), is not shying away from accomplishing big things this year. This PNBA pro natural bodybuilder plans to win seven gold medals in the 2022 natural bodybuilding season. So how does he plan to do this exactly? He\u2019s looking to add mass to crucial areas of his body. On Instagram (IG), Luke Francis Trainor said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGaining size in the right places for the Natty Bodybuilding Season in 2022\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have 7 titles to Win this year and no less\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As Trainor heads toward a new age decade turning 50 this year, he sets the bar high for his endeavors. First, he wants his gold medal count to match his age. He proclaimed:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy Goal for 2022<\/span><\/p>\n

I want and will be busting ass to achieve 7 x 1st Place Victories\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

to bring my total to 50\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I turn 50 years of age this August so i want the 50 at 50 Dream\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Age is Just a Number\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Luke\"Luke<\/p>\n

If that seems like an impossible task to you because of his age, think again. <\/span>Claire Burton, Women\u2019s Physique 2021 Natural Olympia champion, had her best natural bodybuilding year yet after turning 50.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

And Trainor isn\u2019t messing around. Most people were indulging in food and drinks this holiday season<\/a>. But he started his new year goals early. He stated in an IG post on December 27, 2021:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cUnlike most the only thing i am doing for Christmas and New Years is sticking to my diet and training plan until i win what i want come 2022 A [sic]\u00a0<\/i>season<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You can see him flexing his physique in the post below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s filled with elite contenders, including former champion and Hall of Fame Inductee Jon Tsiu and 2018 champion <\/span>Colin Congo<\/span><\/a>. And of course, none other than <\/span>William Long \u2013 the reigning Men\u2019s Physique Natural Olympia champ and first natural bodybuilder to sign a multi-media deal<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WADA\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Natural bodybuilding levels the playing field. Most bodybuilding leagues will not endorse drugs in the sport, but they don\u2019t have a metric to prevent it either. Natural bodybuilding leagues do since that\u2019s what makes the sport natural, after all. However, only one institution \u2013 the International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)\/PNBA uses the best drug testing laboratories available \u2013 via World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
