More about others, then ourselves.

I'm not saying that some of the transformations the members here have gone through are not incredible (and hot), but there simply aren't very many experiences, about others, who grow. Yes a few, but not too many.

So...anyone know anyone who did grow?

I think someone has mentioned him before, but check out John Stone (johnstonefitness.com). He has taken many pictures over the past several years.

Yep, I have a friend who has grown and is now growing again! When we first met in college I was impressed with his overall size and most especially his well-defined, huge biceps...well, they seemed huge to me then - about 16" but my arms were only around 13" or so at the time.

Anyway, he seems to like his arms too - so when I started getting serious about my workouts some time ago and, he realized that my arms were catching up to his, he began working out again without saying anything to me. But as I noticed him starting to swell up in size over the course of just a few weeks he admitted what he was doing. We started working out together - doing some heavy benching and curling - and I got to watch his arms go from 17" to about 18 1/2 inches in just a month and a half! Plus he moved up from an XL shirt to an XXL during the same period.

So he had stopped working out for a while but recently realized that I was getting bigger again - so guess who's my new workout partner? And guess who is still has arms close to 18"? And who is now way stronger than me in benching - when I used to easily out bench him? And guess who occasionally let's me feel how hard his arms are now?

Of course, the down side is that he is just about as straight as they come...nobody's perfect!

P.S. Just saw my brother this week who I hadn't seen in about a month. I thought it might be wishful thinking on my part when I saw a new "ripple" of tricep under his shirt - but he's working out now, too. And, no, unlike other brothers around here he's not getting any taller!
