You are not holding anything. You look awful. You have no abs. Zero legs. Those guys have double the legs u have. U arent even fully dieted. You look puffy. You look like a guy who lost a lot of weight but doesnt have a lot of muscle and still has a bit of fat to lose. Why would u go on stage looking like that. By the way, all those guys beat u. U are a clown, I cant wait to say it in ur fat face. U are a joke on every bodybuilding forum. U would get killed as a novice.
1. BrianB, go ahead and at least post a cell phone pic of you legs/abs, so we can see what YOU have going.
2. Mike A. knows his lower body is a weak pt and makes no excuses for that. Almost every BB has a weak pt.
He is a tall BB and his limbs will alwyas look leaner/longer than a shorter man.
3. Mike A. goes into actual contests with no excuses and never blames politics on not winning the show.
He does the best he can with what he has to work with and in my opinion puts a decent looking physique on stage.
If he posted that he should be going pro and be on the Olympia stage next yr, ok, crack on him then. BUT, he puts it out there as is, no extra hype or bullshit.
4. Despite what some here might think , NOT everyone can get on stage and look decent.
Mike may not be winning but he puts a hard, decent looking ,muscular physique on the contest stage.
A lot of wannabees don't want to hear/see that. It takes away any excuse they have for not getting on stage themselves
