Thanks, M56M, my goal is to get as big as I can then try a level 1 competition that's held in my town to see how I do. I think I have the shape, just need the size now. Not a monster yet, but that is the goal.
As far as my diet, I was far from strict when that shot was taken, my waist was actually up 2 inches, from 30 to 32", when I am trying to stay lean I try to balance diet with a few extra cardio sessions/every week first thing in the morning.
