What some people dont realize on this site, as they've NEVER FUCKING COMPETED, is that 99% of people dont come in perfect condition for their first competition, or their second, or third .............. So even if mike may not be as shredded as he'd like to be for a competition, you gotta look at the progress he's made. Losing the amount of weight he has is never easy and it takes alot of dedication. Not everyone competes because they want to be a pro. Im sure mike as well as many others are competing to see what theyve got, to try and get into the best shape of their life, and at least be able to say they did it, if only once.
