I competed a bunch of times myself and after 19 yrs , I hung up the thong.
Hard to explain why on getbig, but it simply stopped being "worth it".
Like you, I put a decent physique on stage, but never won any major contest.
I always got a lot of personal satisfaction from competing and enjoyed the contest atmosphere.
So, for you, was doing this last contest, "worth it" ?
I'm NOT talking about how you placed BUT how you felt about it.
Thanks
