That's probably close to 15 or 16 months old... I'm consistantly up and down... cut/bulk... I'm really going balls out on the cutting for this summer though... even if pharmaceuticals are required.

When I feel I've really got it nailed... Only then will I take my shirt off. I'm not delusional by any stretch... I've got some good stuff going on, but I'm not lean enough to be in a magazine ad with my shirt off.
