This post will also show the difference in conditioning and how it affects the total appearance of a physique.

Me at 175-178, roughly 8-9% Bodyfat.


Me at 170, around 4% Bodyfat.


Exactly a years time between the pics, like exactly, both taken on August 13th years 2010 and 2011. In my offseason between the two pics I added a small amount of muscle mass, the real difference is conditioning.

That's what it's about! Conditioning baby!

^the only place I can see a difference is your legs. The definition in your upper body is almost the same.

Look at the traps and delts. IMHO the mass and conditioning increases are evident.

I thought that might just be due to the angle, but you're probably dead on there Bama.

I have to say that I prefer the look of the older bodybuilders, I know it is personal preference but I just feel like they look better even though they may not be as lean.

Great thread though!
