[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;42933260]Well that's a very thorough and creepy form of boasting you've mastered[/QUOTE] Is there really something wrong in your mind with someone being proud of/wanting to share achievements that they worked extremely hard for?
[QUOTE=Perfumly;42933110]I would like to share my overall progress here over the last 2.5 years because I just made this and realizing how much I've done in the last 2.5 years I'm really proud of it. I'll put it in a link because it's a fairly big picture and has shirtless pictures and I know everyone here probably doesn't want to look at that. [url]http://i.imgur.com/lEPuBBn.jpg[/url] I have a ways to go to be exactly where I want but it's really crazy how much change can happen to your life in such a short amount of time.[/QUOTE] Good on ya m8, glad to see you are positively changing your life and advancing.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;42932967]How old are you? My dads almost 60 and balding, and he's got more hair than you do. Try some Rogaine bro[/QUOTE] 25.
[QUOTE=Perfumly;42933275]Is there really something wrong in your mind with someone being proud of/wanting to share achievements that they worked extremely hard for?[/QUOTE] I'm happy for you and your great life (the standard of which seems to be dictated by how much various things weigh in pounds) but I think it is very strange to catalogue yourself into a picture like that and show everyone. I don't know how it's supposed to come off but the result is awfully self-congratulatory and attention-seeking. This is why people assume that bodybuilders are dicks I think, even the more down-to-earth ones like you get the boasting bug and have to show off their high scores like they're leveling up in some weird game. The majority of people have a different value system I mean cool, you have a girlfriend, you have a tight Tshirt and you have some pretty gross muscles that you seem fond of. I legitimately think you're a real winner for being somewhat set up and happy at 19, that's marvellous. But I don't need to see an awkward collage or powerpoint presentation or some shit :v:
i for one congratulate your achievements. wish i had the motivation to switch up my life like that, its actually somewhat inspiring - my bod right now is pretty much exactly the same as yours in the original photo. were also the same age but i look like 3 years younger
do i look like i speak squirrel? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QWPUpZp.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Izzy-chan;42932838]So, yeah. Here's a selfie I took this morning. I was dressed for a mock interview at my school. [IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/ycbw8.jpg[/IMG] 1. I look horrible. :< 2.

I like to share this stuff, admittedly yes, partially because it like attention and positive reinforcement, but then again so does everyone else. I also like to share because I would also like to help inspire people who may want to make a change in their own lives and help them with it if they need any guidance. It just helps put into perspective that EVERYONE starts somewhere. Also it's not about numbers either. My stats as far as lifting aren't even that great for 2.5 years, heh

[QUOTE=gungar;42937255]Was there any need to pull your boxers down.[/QUOTE] Dat dere Adonis belt. Don't sexualize it, the point is to show overall musculature and to do that you can't be wearing that much clothes.

There's world renowned physique bodybuilders who didn't even touch a weight until age 20+
All I can afford/have the time for is my sketchy pull up bar just to do the comparison thing like everyone else: 2008, 3 years after I joined [img]http://i.imgur.com/MIoc2ok.jpg[/img] now (repost) [img]http://i.imgur.com/OBmOPhf.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Glitchman;42937394]All I can afford/have the time for is my sketchy pull up bar[/QUOTE] i'm led to believe both of those are fairly poor excuses?

[QUOTE=Glitchman;42937394]All I can afford/have the time for is my sketchy pull up bar [/QUOTE] Half of my body came from when I was working and going to school full time working out outside with a $50 weight set I got off Craigslist
[QUOTE=Perfumly;42937427]Half of my body came from when I was working and going to school full time working out outside with a $50 weight set I got off Craigslist[/QUOTE] which half, like mermaid half or fish-man half?

I have to say lately I've been getting sick of being a twat without confidence.. You seem like a pretty cool guy. I'm gonna try to excercise more.

You were kind of asking for it once you clicked the link. :downs:

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;42936350]I'm asian[/QUOTE] I wonder if the asian lack of aging applies to half-asians like me too
[QUOTE=Izzy-chan;42932951]Eh, the balding isn't so noticeable if I just comb it right. But yeah. I do need to do something about it, but I just can't go and shave my head.[/QUOTE] it's super noticeable no matter what you do. accept it and shave it off.
