Vin Marco Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 @CuriousByNature there are so many different components at play when it comes to aging and aging well it's not always the obvious, there's a lot of luck, genetics, what we eat, what we don't eat, what we drink, what we don't drink etc. etc. etc. but equally as important are the things you just mentioned.... Wonderment, retaining that childish curiosity, surrounding yourself with good people and I think there's so much to be said for "attitude and effort" ultimately it's all one big crapshoot because it can all come toppling down on its keister on any given day, so I try to live as much as I can in the moment knowing tomorrow is not promised. But yea it would be well advised to drink plenty of water and not underestimate the power of good sleep... last but not least don't forget that muscle is the organ of longevity 😜 CuriousByNature 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Monday, and WEEKS until you travel our way — we need a physique update, stat! We’re dying here! Well.... I'm happy to "show and tell" 😜 I'll start by quoting Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith, the leader of the A-Team, " I love it when a plan comes together " I've been staying really close to home and when I say close to home, that means the grocery store, the gym and that's it. It gives me the ability to stick to my plan without any distractions whatsoever..... at least until it's time to go to Columbus in a couple of weeks where I've been assured I will be able to have access to the food I need and if you don't think I'm grateful for that you're outside of your mind 🙂. Here are some comparison photos... one is a photo of me in 2003 when I made my Internet debut lol all thanks to Rob T from Idiom Ltd. aka muscleworship.com and muscle gods .... he was always so good to us ( me and the guys that did work for him ) I don't believe he's with us anymore but he's certainly someone I feel deeply indebted to.. He was that good to me. This first collage is the difference of 21 years and 30 pounds... 2003 vs 2024... I've enjoyed every step of the way. I was happy then and I'm even happier now.. it's even wild for me when I think about my journey and how much I've enjoyed the process, ultimately leading to where I am today. This second collage is the difference of only three days. The picture on the left was taken on Friday and the photo on the right was taken this morning. It's amazing what a single "re-feed" day can do.. my skin tightened up even more, you can see more detail in my abdomen. The craziest part is that from today, I have 4 more weeks left on this current diet prep that ultimately ends with a photo shoot at Black Beach in San Diego one month exactly from tomorrow. When you're EXACTLY where you need to be, 4 weeks is a very generous amount of time to make all the fine tuning and adjustments. No need for drastic and extreme measures on the final lap 🙌🏽 When it comes to my bodyweight and my body fat percentage, I've never been this heavy with such a low body fat. How about that @myophile 😜🫂😘 Hot4latin, 56harrisond, Harryinny and 5 others 2 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is all of this prep for the photoshoot or is there a competition coming up as well? 💪 Good morning 😃 and thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙏🏽 A few different reasons for my diet preps.. self accountability, they allow me to keep improving over time, to simply keep competing with my former self and only my former self, last but not least, sometimes there's a photoshoot attached to the target 🎯 date I've always said getting big is the easy part but but maintaining that muscle mass while fining down and creating the aesthetic look I seek is the tricky part that requires discipline and the know how to do it, it's those challenges that keep and hold my interest. * it's no secret, I LOVE to eat 😜🤪 sometimes if I know I'm taking a trip or going on holiday, I'll get myself ultra lean so that I can truly relax and ENJOY food and 🍸 and come home without incurring too much collateral damage 🤣 Head out under par, come home par.... paying the piper in advance, paying it forward sort of thing and it keeps me happy and enjoying life 🥰 alexslaveboy, myophile, Hot4latin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immense respect for the determination and discipline that the lifestyle demands. Most people don't have a clue and I grasp only 1/10th of it. As always, I thank you for your positivity and the compliments. I rarely quantify all that goes into what I do to achieve the results I desire and that I get, even after all this time... in fact, I'm happier about what I look like now than what I looked like 10 or 15 years ago.. . Every single morning when I wake up, I basically jump out of bed to get myself ready for the day and head to do cardio either here at home or at the gym down the street. I just think about what I have to do each day never really thinking about what I have to keep on doing for weeks on end and it's just easier for me that way... I figure I can get it right just for one day and then the following day, I forget about yesterday and tell myself the same thing again. Quantifying all I have to cook, prep, cardio, all thee reps and sets.. to think about that before hand would easily reduce me to a glutton for punishment and or a masochist 😂 I might say to hell with all this stuff 😜 Edited Tuesday at 09:08 PM by Vin Marco crushme99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
