Very attractive in the offseason pics, I dont think people realize how rough dehydrating can be on your face. Sometimes a really dieted and dehydrated bodybuilder can be made to look much older on stage but very attractive girls will often lose that sexy appearance the day of the show simply from being dehydrated. No one looks the way they do on stage for most of the year so in my view its better to look good year round then just for one day. I'd rather date a bodybuilder who looks hot all the time except when really dieted then a fatter girl who only looks good on stage 1 day of the year.

Hi Greg!

Um, most of those pics are competition pics where it was either the day of or the day after the show. I don't particularly like the last ones of me in my red suit at the Canadians though. I think I pulled back my hair too tight LOL

But you are right, being dehydrated does change a person's look in their face.

Yes, I do have an off season more then I'd like sometimes. I use to have my bf measured but I don't anymore so I don't really know what I'm at. I go by how I look now. Every year is different for me too, some years I put on a little more then others. It depends on what shows I'm going to do and how close I want to stay for competition.
