Why not post mandatory poses instead? Hard to assess based on those photos.

Masters? You look younger than 40

[jude2]

First time ever posting pics. My son took these pics this weekend while training.  I have been training for 27 years.  It makes you look and feel young if you do it for health benefits.  It gives me the energy to coach all of my kids sports.  So train hard, but enjoy life.  Peace.

Looking good man. How old are you? You look very young to be a masters competitor.

[jude2]

I made 40 this past March.  I do look younger when I am leaner.

[figgs]

You look great, dude. Small for a competitor but you still look good. Good luck.

Thanks for all of the positive support, it gives me the drive to continue my diet.  The secret to training year round, is you have to enjoy it.  It also helps me in my line of work as a physical therapist and strength & conditioning coach to look good and be athletic.  I work with kids to Saints players.  Yes I guess I am small for a competior, thats why they have a LW class. Plus I am truely drug free and this is the biggest I can get on my own. Top weight 180#, competition 150# at 5'4".
