I am in better shape than a lot of people are on stage and that is without a tan or any prep. There are several contest I would have won my class if entered. Again Master division is not the same thing as the Open.
Jeez Man - I'm well aware of The Masters divisions & at 40ish thats hardly old /masters class !!
As for you winning those competitions they really must be extremely poor quality competitions '
Certainly not in any of the shows I've judged you'd not win, maybe place in top 5 if there were
only 5 competitors.
I Kind of knew you'd just dismiss my advice - with your delusional view of yourself,
Sure go ahead & compete only don't expect anyone to be impressed with your level of development
Tan or No Tan, as for your current condition it's okay - nowt good or any where near contest
ready conditioning.
Still carry on Deluding yourself & looking in that Distorted hall of mirrors of yours.
