Five-year plan: IFBB Pro League athlete Craig Richardson tells us where he's been and where he's going

Flex, May, 2009

* FIVE YEARS AGO I was working as a personal trainer, competing as an IFBB professional and being a husband and father. I placed third at the Florida Pro and seventh at the New York Pro.

* TODAY Pretty much the same things I was doing five years ago. I'm planning on entering the IFBB Tampa Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships, the Europa Super Show and the Houston Pro. In the meantime, I'm waiting for a call back from the Passaic County [New Jersey] Sheriff's department. I've always been interested in law enforcement, because it's a good way to give back to the community.

* FIVE YEARS FROM NOW I'll have made the top six in the Olympia a few times and advanced in my career with the sheriff's department. I think all bodybuilders should have a backup plan. I've seen too many guys win tons of money during their career and have to start all over once it ends.
