Friday swelfie thread. (pics)

Took swelfie tonight.

That is all. In before all the bs....








[edit]....I decided to post lifetime natty pics too from about 7 years back since I know the inevitable comments will follow.
No longer nattie. 7 years ago discovered I really did have low t which was the result of a frontal brain injury and pituitary damage. Also was hypo thyroid as a result.


Also put back pic of me as lifetime natty vs pic from last year as comparison. (and 7 more years training in between)

Yes....I believe I have gained mass and held it that I might otherwise not be able to hold at lower bf levels, but it did not build my physique.....Also a pic of me at 21 after 3 years of lifting and my 'before' pic. Yes nattie.

Hate I even have to put that...but fuk it. This is my pic from tonight....closing in on 50. Anyway....just doing the best I can to stay in shape these days. 3 years ago got in car accident, fractured spine and 3 disk injuries. Just doing the best I can....still trying to get back healthy enough to squat again....

It is called muscle brother. YEARS of heavy deadlifting left me with quite the developed core. I agree it is not the most aesthetic thing....but it is what happened with 20 years of heavy training. These were both last summer. I am about 3-4 lbs away from here bf wise. Last pic is a still nattie pic of me when I leaned out. You can see the size of my obliques. Not pretty, but I could rep 585 full stop deads for 8. Pick your goals. I never claimed to be pretty

Excellent results. Maintaining a physique like that for decades on end is a rare find. Good on you for pushing through with it despite numerous injuries.

Thanks man. Over the years, life become one big 'work-around'. In 09 I suffered a broken neck and TBI. That is what got me back in the gym after a decade out. Have not missed a workout since (unless I chose to). Time and consistency trump all.

A few injuries later, I am just enjoying life to the best, and realized my best days (as far as overall strength) may be best left in the past. Really wanting to pull 600 again, but have not been able to deadlift for 3 years and only recently brought back some very careful squatting

I always wear a hat. Like 365. Cant go outside without one. Eye injury in my 20's tore my iris and I need a hat and sunglasses anytime the sun is out or I cant see. Just become habit.

Hair still there, but typical thinning of an italian guy my age. I have a brother 5 years older and I am following the same path he took. Both grandfathers totally bald...so it is what it is. Still have hair, but definitely thinning as I hit 50. Had a MF crop as kid...but such is life. Dont have many pics of myself...and almost none without a hat. This was last summer.

I am not sure what your goals are....but you look pretty thin. Fuk abs....eat and eat until you are uncomfortable. Gain 40+ lbs over 5 months, then diet and repeat if strength and mass are your goals. People are too worried about abs.

Abs dont mean sh!t and every twink can have them. Now having good muscle mass AND abs....that is what impresses me. POW's have abs. Abs on guys 150-170 lbs does not really impress me. Sorry... I have been around long enough to know any skinny dude can have abs.

But abs were never my goal. I always lifted to be strong(er). I now have a midsection that looks like a block. I'm ok with that. I never lifted to be pretty.

Funny thing.... I am WAY more proud of my accomplishments in the gym vs my relative 'success' in life. Lots of my friends have nice cars. NONE of my friends look like me at any age and none can do what I do.

Having a developed physique of any kind can actually be a detriment in business. I work to hide my physique in business settings. Very little good comes out of it, and it is a distraction if anything.... worse it can put people one the defensive.

I have been self employed since 23. Just like my physique... Hard work, consistency and time yield results.

Das it meng.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

Nothing wrong with feeling satisfaction and happiness in life. The car stuff is just a joke... I could care less about what stuff costs. I like to share in what brings us all to this persuit. Might be hard for you to understand. Dont know how old you are, but I have been at this a long time. Online boards such as this one, are really my only communications with people who understand. I have not been in a public gym since COVID, so I like to talk lifting.

I also like to celebrate in others. I am very comfortable with where I have been and where I am going. Not boastful, but comfortable. Life is good and I dont feel shame in being happy for still looking half way decent.
