Nice pix Mike. Congratulations. From the side, you've almost completely disappeared. Did Criss Angel teach you that?

I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't mess with that big fat bastard on the right. But that guy on the left needs an ass-whooping. Where do I sign up?

Mike, have you found that people mess with you more when you're not so big? Since I came down from 270 to 230, that's been the case for me.

since i lost that size/fat i do feel "less confident",but im a scrapper so i think id still do ok
in any situations that might arise(esp with having a girl who looks like this!)

Damn Mike,

I think I'm positioned just out of view of her "nippage". You big tease.

But seriously, good to see you acknowledging the truth that keeps so many lifters overweight -- that feeling of being threatened when you lose a significant amount of weight. Even though you're faster and just as strong, suddenly guys who once got out of your way when they saw you coming, now don't even move and actually bump into you. It's happened to me too, bro. Just walk away and do the adult thing -- key their car while they're in the store.

 lol..................... ......sum good advice here
(there is always someone bigger/tougher than you are)
just dont back down if they disrespect you or your girl ....then you can always face yourself in the mirror
you can never go back in time and re-capture that moment when you "shoulda done something!
besides a "beating" only hurts for a lil while
humiliation and disrespect last for a lifetime
you have to live with your self...................l ive your life like a MAN

Try to maintain as much muscle mass as possible while losing fat and you're definitely on your way to presenting a quality physique to the stage, good job.

I think most of us had mike classed as the big guy who will never go under 20% but you've done well to change that perception mike.
