Well..I didn't compete for 19 years prior to that. I managed to miss the top 5 in both the Masters heavyweight and Light Hvy open where I was about 15-20 years older than 95% of that class. That being said I was happy. If I would have competed more after that there's no doubt in my mind I would have won at least my class at the Masters Nationals. But I'm smart. I'm not willing to put myself through that for nothing. My last show was 19 years before that and I haven't competed since. No regrets.
Those two comparisons were more than missing a peak. He lost mass all around plus look flat. Even if he would have filled out, he would never see the day that he looked in those previous pics. Didn't you say you've been training for like 6 years or something like that?
Let's see between 2007 and now, Vic had a severe knee injury, served 2 jail stints, had a sister murdered and lost a few businesses. How dare he not look like he did at his peak, the horror
The photos I was comparing were the new ones from this show against the other competitors
And I've been busting my ass for 8 years. I've only placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Run your credentials down all day, even if they actually were impressive they don't make up for the pompous dick you are on here.
