Post your pic vs. Testicular atrophy!!!

I'm not really interested in posting pictures of my body on an internet forum

but cheers for your work mate, validation all around!
 
Sunyata, you don't see it as motivation to improve on whatever is lacking? You think I'm interested in posting pictures of my pathetic legs? YOu think I walk around with real short shorts on showing off those bad boys? Haaa! It's all postive though man, we're here to positively critique and help motivate each other bud. I bet if we get 'deja' in here requesting sunny boy's pictures, he'll fold like a cheap suit %)

I want to see Annalien(yah I can't spell worth a damn) with some of the numbers he posts like pulling 600 lb deadlifts off the ground!! Shit son. I believe he took credit for the biggest on the board :) Let's see it!

The REal FAtman: You're goin to have to change your name soon to 'the real deltman' as you've made some awesome progress, especially in your shoulders. Huge difference bro.
 
yeah analien and his 600lb deads....

and I was estatic cause i hit 315 dead lifts on saturday.

LOL I"m right there with ya man. I don't know if I'm even up to 315. However, I've always done high rep, low weight routines with squats and deads. I'm afraid(especially on deadlifts) that my form won't be perfect, and I'll end up injuring myself. I'll take the light weight anyday over not being to do the lift at all. Once you screw up that lower back in a serious way, that shit will be a problem for life. Screw that.
 
I'll try to get some pics. I've never taken pictures while in the gym but maybe I'll go ahead and do that. I can't pull 600 anymore but 550 is np so maybe I'll take a pic of that. I lost the drive on lower body (which was out of balance anyway) and my upper body is now out of balance I think. I got the next 10 weeks off work and plan to hit the gym twice a day so maybe I'll make some fresh gains. I've been plateaued at 262 for a year.

Perhaps I could lure one out of him ;) <3
SS dear seems some folks would like to see a picture or 7

You've single-handedly ruined this thread for anyone who read it. Criticizing others without the balls to post the pics first? What a joke. If you actually do decide to step up and show your 600lbs deadlift, be sure it's a video. If you want to make it a bit more authentic, you should probably hold a newspaper up also.

Natural bodybuilders love to say that they have to work harder than those who use performance enhancers. I've been lifting for over 10 years and the guys who train the hardest, with the most intensity, determination and consistency are the ones who use (90+% of the time). They live the life, which is usually what drives them to use the performance enhancing drugs in the first place. Don't spew your bullshit because it doesn't hold water. Everyone knows performance enhancers work, but without proper diet, training and rest a person won't reap the benefits.

BTW, deadlifts are NOT a leg movement - they are a back movement.

And to that other moron who posted someone else' pic, that's just as bad as plagiarism. "Forgetting" to give the person who actually did work so hard for that body credit is pathetic.

To those who had the balls to post up pics, congrats and keep working hard.

Whoa...why all the hate towards the alien????!!

He's posted numerous pictures of himself on this forum and is without a doubt the largest and strongest member on the board......He's knowlegable about the sport, put on a lot of mass in a short time, and has never used AAS, or other recreational drugs because he's a fucking teacher...He's been here a while...

Respect.

Well put. I don't know 'the alien' that well, but just from knowing what I do, the guy knows his shit. THat seems like an unnecessary, unprovoked attack on a respected member around here.

BTW, I wasn't trying to "call anybody out" or make them think they have anything to prove. I'm not going to lose any sleep if Sunny dosen't post a pic soon. If he, or anyone else dosen't want to post a picture, it's all good. I just think it helps solidify advice given by the vocal members around here. Let's put all our cards on the table here. If you hearing all this advice from someone on the board, it's only human to think "well shit, let's see if this guy takes HIS own advice"

True, Sunyata has learned and forgotten more about the science end of fitness, nutrition, rest, etc than I will ever know. But the reality is people want to see how hard this large fountain of advice works himself. LIke I said, if people don't want to post pictures, I can understand. But when you're a very vocal member who seems very willing to give tips and advice, you have to sort of expect to be "called out" because the church dosen't respect the preacher who's out at the stripclub slamming whiskey and bangin call girls. It just helps your cause when you prove you work just as hard.

**LOL I knew Deja was/is your kriptonite=D

Its all good. If you read the thread from start to finish I do appear to be a dick but ya.. the guy I was talking shit to in the beginning was basically saying something along the lines of "if you can't lift, juice" (I think his exact words) while simultaneously posting in another thread that steroids aren't cheating.

I've posted plenty of pics over the past few years just none recently. My deadlift has declined. I'm not claiming I can do 600 anymore but the best I ever did was 605x1 585x3 and 495x9 exactly a year ago. I can only pull like 550 comfortably now. I never hitched and have good form. It is hard losing strength and size but I am getting older so that is inevitable.

I've never felt comfortable bringing a camera let alone a video camera into the gym but maybe someday I will.

If you want to hate on me you can go for it. I've worked really hard to get where I am at and its a constant daily struggle and my biggest enemy is myself. Diet, rest, enthusiasm.. those are my struggles. I can only do so much though and I'm past my prime I think. Its getting harder every day.
 
BTW, deadlifts are NOT a leg movement - they are a back movement.

No. They are a compound movement. They require a strong posterior chain. Right now my hamstrings and quads are lagging. My back can pull the weight no problem but my hamstrings and quads aren't as strong on initiating the lift as they used to be. I used to pull 585 EASILY. I would just do singles of it all day and not even be very fatigued. Now I cringe at the thought because I've simply been so busy with work this year that I haven't been able to devote myself 100% to it.

And yeah as somebody else said - I don't use AAS or any other drugs. I drink very infrequently and probably get drunk once a year or so. I don't think AAS or alcohol/drugs are bad or anything I just don't think I should do them as a teacher. I take my job really seriously and think that sets a bad example.

Yeah pretty much. Usually when someone (looking at you Jamshyd) is posting in the pic threads, i asked if he or she had posted or not.
 
New

Was shaving my head tonight and decided since I'm on Electronic home Confinement from the hours of 10pm-5am, I'd take some new pictures...

Sorry about the loose hair all over my shoulders8o....

Back Shot

Trap Shot (Most definately my strongest pose)

me003-1.jpg


Front shot (Weakest pose..not really flexing in this one...)

me001.jpg



As you can tell, I gotta work on lowering the BF% around the waistline...Believe it or not, I got a lot of muscle and if I finally lose all the fat, I'll be cut up like a bag of dope...either way, give me a fucking break, I just did 3 months in prison :X....

It's amazing how important diet truly is...My diet is finally on point after months and my training has become more intense and less frequently to optimize recovery...Cardio is also being done A LOT...wish me luck on my journey...I'll post some more pics in exactly a month to show my progress...

That showed character. I don't surf BL often, and certainly hope the two that had your back on this thread did so because of positive contributions you've made to the board. If this is the case, kudos to you for taking the time to help others.

I ripped on you for your attitude toward others, not for any other reason. It makes no difference to me what size or shape you're in, or what you can lift.
