goI don't feel old, my age is "old" but then again I think a wise well built 40's with good money is hard to beat. So when I say "old" i'm joking. Women do tax you for your age number, cause when i'm in my best shape, guys in their mid 20's, 30's are less fit most of them less fit, but the ladies hear my number and mentally tax me a bit. Makes me feel like I have to win some body building or fitness titles or something.
go win them then
you know you're capable
but do not do it for them.
Do it for yourself.
For memory of your grandma who would've liked to see that.
You used to be heavier and you lost weight fairly quickly.
You're disciplined enough to do the intermittant fasting (for precomp cutting?)and you may actually be quite symmetrical and have the potential to win.
Posing is big to win first place.
Ever try learning posing with a pro photographer/videographer?
Funny thing about guys that win titles....its always about multiples.
Arnold is 7x Mr. Olympia not just one.
Ernestine Shepherd had to run almost 10 marathons, not just one.
If that's addictive, well, is that so bad to be addicted to and passionate about as your purpose?
