Thanks for the positive replies folks. The top photo is from the NABBA Universe 2003 over here in li'l old Engalnd. I won my height class (2). The next is from the Mike A Hearn (A gladiator - from the TV series, not real life) Spring classic 2004 where i won the heavies and overall. For these shows i went from 245 lbs off season to about 225 on stage. I am now off season 259 lbs and growing. So i will be expecting proportional increases for my next competition weight. My height is 5' 9''
