Actually, stress is kicking my butt. Age as well. I noticed that the luv handles no longer disappear even on a strick contest diet. The doctor actually works on body builders and knows what to do to prevent that dimpled look.
He actually goes on the conservative side and removes just enough to bring your proportions back in line.
I have been in contest shape many a time, some here have seen my picks from pre contest to contest and when I am just packing the weight.
Believe me, if diet was working I would not bother. But, it isn't. What happens is that they remove the fat from the problem areas, then as you regain weight it is more evenly distributed about for a more proportionate look. As well, now when I diet, I will spend more time losing fat around the the mid section rather than losing it else where and spending most of my time on the mid section while losing excessive amounts of muscle mass, just to get that last two percent
The biggest problem is that the skin has gotten thicker, haven't quite figured out how that happened except for a poor diet. So, that is what I will work on.
For those who think it is a cop out etc, why then do you all use steroids? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
