A few members remove photos after a short period. Everyone has their reasons . Weather it be they are a known competitor or the job they hold. (Safety)
But i didn't see your photos too. I not see reasons to deleete photos. Store your pics here is a best way to compare your progress, in my opinion. The feeling that you are afraid of someone or something. About safety, i can say that eroids take care for his clients, and pics what you share here not indexes on google or other search systems. Surely if you don't uploaded your pics in other places.
In fact there is no a valid reason to remove your photo. Of course no one is forcing you, and you are free to do as you like, but nevertheless, I hate that I have not seen your photos, and they're gone. I think this is a kind of disrespect to the others. And write to you in a PM to see your pics, even absurd, why is it so difficult brother. imho
Its not disrespectful at all. There are members who don't even post pictures at all..and that's ok.I seriously apologize If you feel that way. But I get where you are coming from.
I figured I would post up again in a couple weeks and I'll leave them up longer.
Bro i see here some comments of "fantastic" or "Big improvement bro" or "Hell yeah that's the type of gains i love seeing". I want to check out your progress too but i can't (: Nobody joke you brother, but really has no reasons to do this shit (:
Now I actually feel like I wronged you. But just try to understand even though I'm not going into detail. Let's just can it paranoia . I'll meet you half way and post again in a couple weeks and leave them up a while
Just imagine that all dudes will remove his photos, what will become with this place? I answer - it shall be desolate for many, because we can not see the progress of others, and motivate yourself with this. It a simple logic, nothing personal brother. Ok dude, it was my opinion about this, nothing more, you free to do this as you wish (:
I see that you a good guy, and you can to stay on right way (: I do not force you brother, but if you can try to think about what I said, will be better. Best regards and respect from me!
Lmao I'm working on it now. My fiancé just got her wisdom pulled So I'm letting her relax. Normally I don't do a lot of house cleaning but I'm trying to manage. Did legs earlier today and I am not enjoying this
got a few more. legs are still small. bigger than a few years ago. I max around 425lbs on squats, they ARE below parallel but I'm thinking of lifting more for the pump to see how things grow. advice? I don't compete or anything. my bf is on the high side
Forget about maxing out on any lifts if you arent competing. Definitely throw in some high rep squat routines. Sets of 20 reps are fucking brutal on squats, and on any compound lift really. Experiment with heavy and light training routines and guage how you respond, then adjust. We are all different, so we must try everything until we learn what works for our bodies.
Youve come a long way from the string bean before picture! Eat like a boss, and train like a boss and you'll keep gaining. Simple in theory, but hard in practice. Keep working, consistency is key!
Oh my bad bro. I appreciate the gratitude for the service. Best and worst moments of my life and I'm hitting school hard now thanks to my country. It was an honor but I'm off to bigger things now lol
That's why I said about 425. Last time I maxed WS a few months ago but I've been doing lots of 5×5s. I feel my legs getting denser but not larger. It almost seems like they were bigger during my last year in the marine corps which was 2014.all the damm running or maybe my upper body being smaller then made them look bigger. Either way thx for the advice.
Sometimes strength gains are not due to muscle. Tendons, ligaments, and form familiarity have a lot to do with strength as well. The muscle will grow when it is forced to exert beyond what the other parts can handle. Its a process,, and is why long term consistency is key.
I really feel like a twit lol. I mean I understood to a small extent of what you are saying but I seem to have neglected some basic fundamentals ...fuck. Well that's why I like this board you are allhonestv and knowledgeable. Thanks for the feedback bro
Lol, I wasnt intending to point out shortfalls, just offering advice for continued progress. ITs a lot easier for me to type it than to do it as well
IMO basic fundamentals is what builds. The bodybuilders have built their mass off the blood, sweat, and tears of fundamentals. ONce the muscle is there, then they switch to shaping style routines. What is marketed typicall are these routines, but in reality for the novice like you and I....we shouldnt be following what they are doing now, but what they did before the endorsements.
And where is photo? Why removed 0o
