Your pic of "Before and After"

[big_lech]

2016 - end of 2023 (my best look in my opinion. I got these taken by a local photographer)

Yea . . . but look at all the fun you could have had

You look sensational BTW. Keep up the good work!

Plans for the future?

The after picture was a while ago. At the time i had placed top 5 at a national show and was ready to “go for it” but first my wife and I wanted to have another kid first…that ended up taking a lot longer than expected (about 2 years) and during that time my priorities changed to more towards career and bodybuilding took a back seat.

Then I had friends dying in the lifestyle, not just people I knew but genuine friends and those I cared deeply for. 4 of the 5 coaches I have done preps with are gone. That pushed me away from the desire to be back on the stage again.

Now I’m 40, eat and train like a bodybuilder again but supplement like a 40 year old average dude (haven’t really been over 150mgs test in 5 years) but still hold a pretty lean 210-215.

Tempted again as I love the lifestyle and possibly stepping on stage again, I am Masters now after all

Here I am 19, 26, now.
I have been bodybuilding non-stop since 1985, when I was 15
Middle shot at 26 I was drug-free for several years and pee-tested by the JBBF.

I had to struggle a pre-bodybuilding shot

Fun transformation. Good to see it documented.

Did you workout prior to 16 @ 175lbs?

When did you know you wanted to go down the physique path?

i started working out at age 8 lol but up until after college i was training sports specific style for explosiveness and power. Not until my collegiate athletic career (football and track) ended and I stopped boxing competitively could I focus on training for aesthetic purposes. I wanted to be a bodybuilder from a young age but I had to delay it until I was finished with my other sports endeavors. So I didn’t start training specifically for bodybuilding until I was 22 years old

Hahaha yea she unfortunately got stuck with me in my ugly ogre phase of life lmao i was once a handsome lil bastard.

Thank you brother I really appreciate that! Although I think you're selling yourself short, you're looking large and in charge in your profile pic. Back is yoked. That's what I was trying to achieve back then natty.

I'm glad I trained natural all those years and truly reached my maximum natty potential. It's preached a lot as gospel but not many follow it. I don't blame them either, juice is very seductive. But the narrative changed around the 2010's especially with GH15 that you can't look muscular at all without hormones, and I think a lot of guys in their 20s would be better off perfecting their training and diet and building a solid natural physique before going the enhanced route. When I did jump on even low doses others thought I was blasting grams and grams of gear. Caveat to this is if you have low T in your 20s, but I digress
