Michelin Progress Pics

[michelin]

I posted some pics about 7 months ago, heres the link http://www.professionalmuscle.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35744.

I'm aiming to compete in a local show in June, it will be my first show so any advice would be welcome guys.
The fuzz will come off when I start my 16wk diet in mid Feb.
I know my posing is still crap but I'm hooking up with a posing coach in Feb also.
I took the advice I was given on here and hooked up with Phil 6 months ago and have been training flat out since then.

Current stats
5'10"
200lbs
Just turned 40

Its still as daunting to post pics but let me have it fellas !!!!

cheers mate, not discouraged at all, Im working on adding the mass, its just a slow process for me as Im trying to add clean mass that will stay.
Thanks for your comment

Looking good D! You are in great hands if you hooked up with Phil! More muscle mass is always good. Solid mass is hard slow work for 90% of us! We all strive for that! You have def made some great progress there! Keep at it and keep us posted!

Really improving bro!

Nice work mate

Have you decided what show you are going to do, looking forward to having a over 40s champ on board. Nice improvements.

You look a bit like Paul George.

I think you'll be shocked when you shave off that fur. In your case it will make a huge difference.

First my standard internet response : "You after picture looks a lot like me...when I started..., except smaller and less cut. " J/k

I think the improvement shows, and its nice to see mass added and look even leaner as Pesty said. Thats quite an accomplishement. I do think for those of us in our forties and fifties the slow, hard gained mass, is preferable to the way we used to bulk and cut.
The best of luck on your show and thanks again for sharing with us. Its certainly motivational.

thanks for all the responses guys, yeah the fuzz will come off and I'll post new pics over the next couple months.
The diet starts this Saturday 16 weeks out so I'm looking forward to that Just had 2 weeks all inclusive in Mexico, as recommended by The Brick, so Im a right fatty now
The comp is a local comp here in Jersey but I dunno if its NABBA or what yet, I'll find out soon enough and let you know BB.

Thanks for the offer bud but Im on the other side of the atlantic

Its a UKBFF regional heat in Jersey, Channel Islands, UK. Its a qualifier for the UKBFF British Championships. I'm entering the over 40's and I'm a realist and as its my first ever comp I'm just looking to do myself justice and bring the best package I can.

I really appreciate all the support my fellow ProMuscle members continue to show me. Its a great motivator and I'll keep you all updated over the next 16wks.
