Outstanding physique and conditioning ... and 45 years old. For me, this physique is the goal. Classical balance and cuts, without being a pure mass monster. The pinnacle of bodybuilding in my humble opinion.

Makes me quit moaning , and get on with training, dieting, and living life to the full....

Thanks for the nice compliments, Ben! Doing the shoot was fun...very outside the box and different for me but fun nevertheless. Brian was great to work with and I'd like to go back and do more (a good incentive to improve!). That's good that training is going well for you. And I guess congratulations are in order? Last I heard you were engaged and now you're married! Congratulations and lots of happiness to you both!

I have gained a few pounds back and looking better but worried about when the weight will stop, maybe eating too many carbs or something, thanks for all the help. Have a good day

kinda slow going, I got burnt out last week and took off for a few days, very frustrated with progress and I don't eat right. I need to have a partner to lift with and most women around here don't lift.

Thanks man, you're looking pretty good too. I didn't know CEO's worked out. I thought you guys were just pencil pushers. No offense.
