Those are my basic thoughts Boyd, you just said it alot better than I did.
I dont knock his progression at all as I can see it, but for myself I would "prefer" more thickness just like you stated.
What I didnt account for and I will admit was his age, I am sure you are in your late 40's to early 50's right Mikey? With that taken into account, I realize the change is more impressive than at half that age.
Sorry to clutter up your thread Mikey

I go away for a few days, come back, and a war starts.
To clear stuff up; i'm 42 (43 next month), and i'm 5'8. I'm prematurely gray--so maybe that makes me read a bit older. And...if I was gonna photoshop, i'd make myself look at lot better than this.
I do appreciate all of the feedback--I feel pretty good about what i've accomplished, and know that within the limits of a full time job and a family that I could not be more dedicated. I eat right and a lot, take only one rest day a week, and do 1-2 days of cardio, with the rest working out. I'm limited by a herniated disc unfortunately that has kept me from doing deadlifts till this year-slowly working up doing heavier weights but they pale in comparison to my other lifts (eg my max flat bench unassisted is 315, but i'm only doing 145lbs deadlifts, and very carefully at that).
So--thanks again. I've attached a back progression shot my trainer just sent me today. I am sure some of you will see the bald spot on the crown of my head--I'm pointing it out so the rest of you don't have to
