Kev I think you should do it. Life is an ensdles transformation! You my brother are a bodybuilder! And always will be! Life is like a book; it's full of chapters! You were a great bodybuilder and still is! I think you should do the masters at least once. Not to prove that you can come back. We all know you could and you don't have to prove anything to anyone. But do it because you love doing it and because is who you are! After all I believe you will earn your first sandow that you deserved! That sandow that they stole from you and which you had a special spot on your house to place it. Its better to compete for the masters than not to. One day you will look back and be happy that you competed. Who cares wether you win or not. But one day you will remember that even at that age you were still a great bodybuilder. We will support you on any decision you make. This is not about proving anyone anything. It's about doing what you love doing.
