alot of younger guys dont realize how fast us (old geezers)lol,can get out of shape just from something as much as not training,eating different(crappy) and stress. there been times in my life when i couldnt lift due to injury,then id b depressed and wouldnt give a fuck about my diet and before u know it the once nice and lean body looks like complete shit. the older u get the quicker it happens, ive seen guys win a bodybuilding show and then something happened where they couldnt train alot,whether it was crazy work schedule or injury,then they start eating bad and 1 year later they looked like ron. all im trying to say is even though rons not in shape at this moment doesnt mean he hasnt been there,done that and could be in great shape again by the spring time or early summer. im sure he can and i know he knows he can and thats really all that matters
