Here are a few of 8wk out photos.

I'll be in the Masters >40 Div. I know that I need more size to be
competitive at my height and I'm working on it. I hit it real hard this past year and stayed w/in about 10 lbs of my contest weight on a fairly strict diet all year long. I added about 8lbs. of LBM (as a Natural), which was a great yr for me. My plan is to try to do the same again next year.

I do this because I enjoy the challenge and the science behind the training and nutrition. I'll probably never enter anything other than a local or state contest but that's ok, that's more than enough competition for me. I do feel good about the fact that I have continued to improve and look better now than 20 years ago when I did this as a young guy. I'll try to post updated pics as the contest gets closer. Next time I'll post better mandatory pose pics so that I can get some feedback and suggestions from you on how I could make the poses best for my structure, etc. Going to try to come in ripped - easy to say, not as easy to do :)

Any suggestions on how to get better pics in direct sunlight? The bright sun seems to wash out the detail. I could not find the right filter setting for my camera (Olympus D-510)

8 weeks out, you have got plenty ot time to get on contest shape. you are already lean and dont have alot of fat to lose. what weight class you going to compete in?
 
He's right. You don't want to lose more than 1 lb per week. You've got some headroom there.
 
You look good, esp. at your age. I do not see a similarity to homonunculus, but looking good nonetheless!;)

you look good man

very good balance

hit the tanning bed a bit and you will be right on track for the show
 
Weight class

Don't have to worry about a weight class. Masters will either be all one class or split into 40-49 & over 50. I'll be 44 for the show.

Trying to go slow on the pre-contest diet. Walking the fine line between dropping BF and keeping LBM. Dropped about 1 lb from 8 to 6 weeks out. Want to try to drop another 1.5 - 2% BF which would be about another 3 lbs or so if I manage to hold LBM.
 
your best point is symetry, and proportions, really cool.

Keep training hard and eating rightly, you will improve a lot next 8 weeks !
