John, with all due respect. I am going to ask this question delicately. You say that you are about the same size, I would assume that you kept using the "supplements". Why use "creatine" if you are not competing?
also since the IFBB has no love for the aesthetic builds would you consider the PDI?
Where are you guys getting this information that the IFBB has no love for symmetrical athletes..? Dexter, Dareem, David Henry, Shawn(in his day) Ronny R.(Australia)etc... These guys had no chance years back, but now, they are winning shows. Maybe not the Olympia yet, but, at least they are winning shows or being given a look. It's just a matter of time.....be patient. You guys may not like Shawn for whatever reason, but, if it were not for him and Lee Labrada, the lighter athletes would have never had any chance whatsoever
