Well, good for you Mike... That's a good lot o size for that (same) height.

I haven't read the entire piece... as it's a lot but was struck by this...

"My doctor at the time said I could either take anti-depressants or go to the gym. 16 years in the gym later, I’m still taking my “medication.”

Good for you for having a doc and taking what is certainly solid advice. I've been there, done that. Been hard at the training for 40+ yrs, now... (yikes!)

Competing is an experience, for sure. Happy to have done all mine early on. It's a real balance to get lean without feeling or thinking you look skinny. But you have or will learn all that.

I have more to add but this commenting is very limited. All the best.
