for the record.. Not blowin smoke.. You were one of the 3 i voted for, bader. I feel like you really did make an outstanding transformation, you and pete both. You both look and did awesome. Had an awesome time with this! You're a great guy and you really do deserve to be in the top 3 imo. You always have an upbeat positive non-douchey attitude about everything and that's really really awesome. I don't think i've heard you b!tch or complain once. I'll stop there before i get myself in trouble lolol but anyway.. Whatever happens, be proud. You're top 3 in my book!

+1!

I didn't have a spotter on declines, but I still almost think that's a PR in some way for me. I've never really pushed myself to my 1MR though, but still.. felt great.

Even though I'm up in weight from my ending photos, my abs have never disappeared, super flat stomach.. my arms feel bigger but I haven't measured.

I"ve also got more prominent veins.. I have two veins that are always showing on my left that connect from elbow to wrist.. I don't know what it is, but I love seeing them... kind of a reminder in some way.
