From Skinny To Beefy...

[vanillamountain]

I used to have my own diet log on here... thought I would share some updates. I've gained about 25 pounds of muscle since then. Now trying to add another 10-15 pounds and documenting my progress:

I'm new to the whole Bodyspace thing, but if any of you are on there, let me know!

Thanks! You and some of the others have definitely been inspirations, so it's nice to hear you say that

You look good, and noticably bigger. With your good looks, the extra muscle is just so much extra icing on the (beef)cake.

Thanks guys! Still working on adding some more mass. I'm still at the point where I can "pass" as thin, depending on what I wear. But if I gained another 5-7 pounds, I'd definitely cross over into "stocky." I'm going to a family gathering in March (and it's on the beach,) so I'm using that as an excuse.A couple of my cousins used to tease me and say that I had gotten too skinny -- that I needed to work out more. Would be kind of nice to say, "well look at me now."

Interestingly enough, I 'outed' myself to one of my friends as someone who's into muscle. It felt good. I didn't really phrase it that way -- I think he noticed that I had been working out more, and I was honest about wanting more of a "power-lifter" build, as opposed to a swimmer's (the way most gay men seem to.) I don't know if he entirely understood, but it was nice to be open about it.

Well done! Keep on growing!

Mr. Mountain, I remember you from way back when, and I'm always impressed with the progress you've made. I look forward to seeing your continual progress, so keep us updated!

Resurrecting this thread to mention that I've (re?)started a blog. Feel free to check it out -- it won't necessarily just be about lifting, so much as it will be about my random thoughts and discoveries. Will post new pictures once I get big enough/feel comfortable enough putting them up.
