Pics of yourself .. up to date ones.

Here is me within a couple weeks. I'm 42 5'8 235-240: Some of you all should really post some pics so you can be taken more seriously when giving out important advice.

i still dont agree with this line of thought, ppl go up and down in size/condition in this line of recreation, through injuries and life changing scenarios, doesnt change their experiences.

i could post up a pic of loads of plifting trophies/medals including international and a British finals Bronze, doesnt mean i can walk into the gym tonight and pull a 280kg deadlift, but i was at that level.

Unless you suffer serious injury or health setback the only way to go is up- that is if you are in it for the long haul. I look better now than when I was 25, 35 etc. And I plan to keep making improvements. That's what keeps me going. It may not be the healthiest attitude- but most of my self worth and self confidence is based on my appearance- or how people perceive it. To each his own.

why does it have to be serious? little niggles can set one back just as much, try having rotator cuff probs and see how many lifts you cant perform. after a long number of years in competitive plifting i have many flare ups and cant train like i did 15yrs ago, does that disqualify me from advising?
