    He finally got rid of that beer gut lol, he said he worked with a personal trainer for the first time he said he did it because of being 32 yrs old. Ben also said his arm is the strongest it has ever been, some of the media were saying the same thing.

    Per the pics, he's leaned up some. Yeah probably should've started grinding at an earlier age, but I'm happy with the results thus far

    I'll wait and be the judge of that myself when the bullets start flying. It's not the first time they've said that he'd lost weight and reported in great shape and all that jazz.

    He's noticeably thinner, much thinner.

    People said the same last year (or was it the year before?) and then the games started and he looked like the same old Ben. For all I know he could be wearing a girdle.

    I find it interesting that he is now admitting what a few of us have said the last couple of years. That as he gets older and the more punishment his body takes the harder it is to rely on talent alone. So he is changes his routine, getting trainers, slimming down, listening to what Haley is saying about taking the check down and keeping yourself upright. He continues those things and those he said he could play until he is forty may be right.

    He looks thinner than he has in a while to me.

    Or a funhouse mirror. Definitely slimmer though, big difference from last years photos.

    Albeit, he's been heavier I don't remember a beer gut? He's always looked fairly solid to me with each year going a little bit lighter. As I age I've opted to do the same, so, it makes sense to me he would too. It's the smart play.

    What is the same old Ben? the Ben that's made us competitive since his start or the Ben that helped put more trophies in that case?

    I'll take either.

    I find it interesting that his arm strength
    is better? Any health people/work out warriors know how they improve arm strength in a 33 year old QB? So what the article is telling me is
    he can throw the 30 yard out?

    He looks a lot better this season to me. Looks healthier. It's nice to see he's taking steps to try and help preserve his body. With all of the hits he's taken over the years this is something he needed to do imo. :applaud:
