Europeans are comfortable with nudity.

Actually I've never once considered myself a bodybuilder. I've always used weight training to compliment my martial arts.

Its funny, I thrown up a photo of my back, and receive comments on my ass!.

I wonder should we have a homesexual bodybuilders picture forum for the more feminine amongst the male membership!.

Try Nark, I hear he can take all 5 fingers up his!. Of course the Rolex prevents him going really hardcore.

**OSTIE** · 06-11-2006, 02:21 AM

I agree totally, and props are definatley due to carlos... His progress dedication is amazing...

BUT, from a different point of view... I see people who have the balls to post pics of themselves and are more knowledgable then many members who are alot bigger, but when they voice their opinion - those who dont except it retaliate by commenting on their body and are falsly judged...

I am nowhere near most of you guys, but I posted a pic anyways because Im secure of where I am and the progress I make, no matter what anyone says, because a the end of the day, you are doing this for yourself.... but for EXAMPLE...

I have two buddies who have been lifting ALOT longer than me and they are very big all natty... alot bigger than the some of the members pics who juice... but they are BLIND when it comes to correct dieting and it pisses me off...

If you look at all my posts when I first joined, they were ALL in the diet section because the person who referred me told me its the most important part to losing weight or gaining muscle.... I feel now I am exceptionally knowlegable in this field and when I practice it, my progress is amazing... but I havent been in the game as long and sometimes i fall off the gym wagon, so when I argue with these stupid nobs... I always lose, because they always go back to "How are you gonna argue with me, im bigger than you" and all the non educated sh!tbags standing around agree with them based on that comment...

Ya its a long post, but as you can tell... this is one of my biggest pet peeves... but point is... I think some members may be the most insecure about posting pictures, not because their embarassed, but because it may take away from the credibility of their knowledge

**jstanier** · 06-11-2006, 02:28 AM

I've only recently joined here -

Have you got a link to a thread or website with your progress Carlos? I'd love to see it!

**bigbouncinballs** · 06-11-2006, 03:13 AM

i'll jump on that train...
big ups to carlos, and thanks for the diet brutha, still growin but in a leaner way!

**WEBB** · 06-11-2006, 04:57 AM

There are definately a lot of guys on here everyday that inspire me as well....Carlos, SC, Nark, Pinnacle, Mike_XXL, Jayhova, and Bino...These guys all have something that i am striving to add to my physique or mental approach to the sport i love....All of these guys not only have great physical attributes that i admire, but also there mental toughness, willingness to help others, and knowledge is what really inspires me....Carlos and SC always have avatars that make you look twice or stare in awe for minutes....i tried to emulate them but i cant even come close, but everyday it is a goal of mine to be in the same league as these guys i mentioen....and one day i will...

**Mizfit** · 06-11-2006, 05:50 AM

I post pics here and there but in all honestly being on of the few regular females on this board.. it's hard to post a picture and not be seen as trying to get attention so you have to pick and chose on how to post.. if that make sense..

you want to post a pic that say hey i actually do work out, but also not LOOK at me..

Don't bother with excuses like "I want to keep my identity a secret", etc. etc., blah blah blah, that's just bullshit. U can blur the face, you can cut the face out of the pic, etc. I just have a lot of respect for those who actually showcase what they work so hard to obtain, and Carlos has to be on the top of that list along with Nark.

Nice job fellas! To all the others, well, u know what you need to start doing.

~SC~

I am so glad this came from you Swole, especially b/c people actually listen to you(well sometimes lol!) I could not agree more with this statement about posting pics. A noob started a thread like this a few weeks ago and suddenly everyone's defenses were up. If you are giving out workout,suppliment,diet,orAAS advice I think a person should have the balls to post some pics. I have a sneaking suspicion that certain people on here who hand out advice on a daily basis are probably not in as great of shape as some might think.

**DDDNTZ** · 06-11-2006, 09:50 AM

Also Swole, I give mad props to you for posting your most recent pics even though you look fat.

J/K Brotha! You look fukin' awesome!

That's something that really doesn't sit well w/me either.

When it comes to handing out steroid advice, okay maybe I see the issue.
However, when you are giving out workout advice or the most important in fitness which is DIET ADVICE and you have no visual representation of what you look like at all, how in the hell is that supposed to be looked at as credible?

I'm not interested in hearing the argument "well just because people don't post pics doesn't mean they don't know what they are talking about, blah blah blah", and yes I know that. However, the reality is that literally EVERYONE is influenced by visual representation when it comes to choosing to accept advice. You can say that's not true, but as one who runs a fitness business, yes it IS TRUE!!!! People tell me all the time they chose to work w/me because of how I look and because of how all of those on my Wall of Fame look, how those on my board undergoing transformations look, etc. You think if I merely said, "I swear guys, I'm ripped and look good and I've helped 100's, really, you have to believe me", u think that shit is gonna hold any weight??
Hell no............

So pics do speak 1000 words. When people argue one diet method vs. another, what to use post-workout instead of something else, etc., but have no pictures showing that it works for them, I simply hit "NEXT THREAD" and leave it at that. I see that as being plain/boring/and totally un-interesting.
If you are adamant about certain methods and you put them into practice and they work for you, well, get off your ass and show what you know. If not, well, I think you can figure the rest out for yourselves.

Props to those who post pictures as it takes a special kind of person to actually prove that you know what you are talking about. Nothing worse than what I call "textbook jockeys". Those are a dime a dozen, and no one is buying.

The compliments are always appreciated and really mean a lot coming for guys that i respect a lot...but it is hard to accept them...i feel very weird, i never feel big, or big enough, or like i really deserve them....but trust me i am listening all the time fella's....hey SC, once this diet non sense is over lets go put a mean hurt on an all you can eat buffet brutha...

**SwoleCat** · 06-11-2006, 02:40 PM

**goodcents** · 06-11-2006, 04:01 PM

Another thread turned gay

(you have to love the "male bonding"

)

**SwoleCat** · 06-11-2006, 04:06 PM

Nothing gay about it, just showing respect.

People who view this as gay we don't want at the buffet, so have a blast supersizing your meal #4.

Keep working hard.

Much appreciated coming from a classy guy like yourself. This is the part I love about bodybuilding, there are no teams, and you actually want your "opponents" to do well, in my eyes at least. I LOVE to see someone at their peak and really coming into their own, even if it means they make me look like ass "lol". Many guys I look up to in the board and WEBB you are one. Just look at your pics man, we are always harder on ourselves but you truly must be proud of what you have accomplished.

reminds me of bdtr, u and the older members know him, he was on board forever and only pic i remember was a distorted blurry avatar and a small pic of him with a log over his head

**WEBB** · 06-12-2006, 03:32 AM

I am my hardest ciritic thats for sure...well Bino, is always on me too though

...But I am proud of what i have accomplished, but i know i have not reached my goal yet, and that is what gets me outta bed to do cardio at 6am and the choke down 4 pounds of turkey everyday...Nark, there is no way i have "passed" you, or anyone for that matter,...i believe we are on the same level, and no matter how far i go in this, or how anyone of us does at this sport it will be because of the support and teamwork of others....thats enough outta me i gotta go train...Nark said so...or else Bino will " ride me into the ground" if i dont

and i am sure his boyfriend wont like that at all...j/k bro...i am not classy at all

**Kärnfysikern** · 06-12-2006, 04:08 AM

I used to have posing pics as my avatar but spock is more buff than me so I replaced it

Nah to be honest I havent progressed much at all since I took these shots last year

I am a bit leaner, a bit meaner. Shoulders have grown a bit and so has chest. Probably quads aswell. But no real progress to speak off. Have to snap a few pics in a few days. Havent even taken any pics in a year. Been to busy to be serious with diet and workout. Only been working hard since around march this year after a long period of lazyness.
I have ditched bodybuilding completley and is focusing on strenght nowdays
