This is for Herm ;-) I bought some speedo's yesterday at Dicks Sporting Goods, guess I was way to optimistic in that size 34 does not stretch at all - matter a fact it makes a ripping sound when stretched past the limit

My training and dieting has been coming along sloooowly, but surely. By looking at your body I definitely don't have the discipline or know-how you have. Your results have been nothing short of remarkable.

I just stopped by to wish you nothing but success as you work towards your fitness goal and competition. Too many people think it can’t be done and so they don't even try but you have proven that with desire, hard work and dedication it can be done. Keep up the great work. I look forward to watching your continuing progress. You are a great example to so many others.

Alright...let the truth be known... so much for the "Aphrodisiacal Powers" of the "GREEN M&Ms"! To cheap to buy the ExtenZe...all I ended up with is a "Jolly Green Bean" between my legs and an upset stomach!

thanks man - yea the Arnold is one of my fave poses ... and goodness no - no browns beanie - that be as bad as it being a Bengals-LOL... so what the plan to get on stage?

Hey Mitch...I think the rings are great. They are just so versatile. If you think dips are easy...think again. On the rings you have to now stabilize your weight throughout the motion. Want to do an Iron Cross...start out doing "Fly Push-ups" and get the chest and arms burning! Cheap $$$s for a great workout! Can't say enough good about them.

Thanks for the great comment. Good luck on your goal of competing before 50. The hardest part is just making the decision and going for it. You are looking great and look like you are doing all the right things.

Hey Mitch...Happy Halloween! Seeing Brooke's latest post about a 16 Week Challenge makes me think I'll skip cutting for the 12 Week and continue to try and add size. Been working hard on the legs too...I wish they looked like yours!
