Agreed - looked totally awesome there and I would have killed for that physique at many points of my life. I have no idea why someone would need more than that UNLESS trying to go pro... 
You don't achieve this type of physique by training to maintain. He built this physique through years of pushing his limits. You wanted him to all of a sudden stop striving to get stronger and bigger? That is not how this journey works. I admit that he looks less than aesthetic now, but I highly doubt if I'll ever get to the point where I look in the mirror and say to myself, "That seems about good. Let me just go ahead and stay this exact weight and strength and never improve or make any changes again."
