Your Real Life Pictures

For those of you who post here and have experienced some worthwhile muscle growth of your own, where are your pictures posted? I'm using flickr but haven't posted any fitness / muscle pics there yet. Have you? Where are your pictures posted?

Well, it's not like I've made much visible progress but if you want to have a sense of what I've looked like in the 21st Century:

http://www.bigmusclebears.com/~arpeejay

They're not labeled but chronologically speaking:

Yellow fence pix = 2000
Faerie wings = 2002
Leather jacket = 2005
Cruise ship pool = 2006
Bedroom / green towel = Fall 2007
White Calvins = Spring 2008

About time to take some more.

xoxo

Richard

I started a progress log in "Watch Me Grow." There's only a few shots there, but I'll keep updating it every week or so.

The one with goofy, the suit and the black shirt are fairly old. The ones in the room with the sleeveless shirt are fairly new, the ones outside are the newest

You look good and very bearish; especially in the last photos with the camera! BTW, I think you have made progress! Peace, cutlerfan

I don't post my pictures on any specific site, but if someone emails me and asks me to send them a picture, I will. I prefer it if the other person will reciprocate with a picture of their own as well. JB

Thumbs up Great Double Bicep shot!

Arpeejay,

GREAT double bi shot! Looks like those workouts are really paying off!

From one "mature" guy to another, thank you for showing those "young'uns" what a real man looks like!

Gunmetalgray - you just don't notice the changes since you see yourself everyday, we don't. You continue to progress.

Arpeejay - You have improved incredibly this past year, kudos to you and your trainer!

The rest of you - of course you'd reply to this thread, all your real life pictures would also look fantastic!

...Wait a second..."mature"...that means you two are old! I can feel my youth slipping away as I type this very post. I feel like Walter Donovan at the end of "The Last Crusade."

Seriously though, you are looking damn good Richie Rich.

Hmmm...

MM, when you were born I was finishing up my master's degree. I don't think you've got to worry about your yoot slipping away quite yet!

OK, this is me currently: 215 lbs., 5'5", 47-48" chest, arms just shy of 17", 26" thighs, waist 41-42". Yeah, yeah, OK. Hey, I like to eat and lift.

So here I am, fat, bearish and proud of it.

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/photo/...Proud_bear.jpg

Believe it or not I'm looking to bulk to gain size and strength, though hopefully not much more fat. I'm not a bodybuilder, never have been, never will be, never claimed it. I'm a powerlifter at heart.

So If I play my cards right, this could be me...
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/photo/...dium/03930.jpg

Or I could be this (not that there's anything wrong with him woof!)

Aw, you're too sweet! Thanks.

That's Mikhail Sidorychev. Supposedly he's very personable.

Yeah, I like that Lee pic.
