Some news from me and a recent photo

[muskate]

I am up about 10 pounds since starting my offseason about a month ago. I was serious when I told you guys that I was going to start putting on some size again.





I also made a pretty major life decision and resigned from my modelling agency last week. I gave everything a lot of thought. The modelling is good money and a lot of fun but my true passion is bodybuilding. I was getting no where with my training and basically just spinning my wheels because I wasn't allowed to put on any weight. Modelling is very black and white. There is a set weight, height and set of measurements you need to be.


I am hoping to put on around another 15 pounds by Christmas time. I'm going to let that hold and solidify for a month or so and then start my pre-contest diet around mid-February for my spring competitions.


I am already way stronger then I have been in years. I sure missed it. The constant food prep and grocery bills...that I don't miss so much lol
It feels like I am always either grocery shopping, prepping a meal, eating a meal or emptying the dishwasher...

Dude, you're ripped! I did a completely different type of modeling back when I was in my early 30's. I was an artist's model at a local art museum. I modeled stark naked for photographers and drawing classes. Photography was easy. Usually I would only be working with one or two photographers at a time. Drawing classes were different. You had to stand stark naked on a platform in front of about 15 total strangers and you had to hold the poses for up to 10 minutes at a time without moving. The students get upset if you keep moving. Anyway, I'll link a pic of me from one of the photographers. While I'm stark naked in the pic, I'm posed so that the most explicit thing shown is my bare hip.

By the way, enjoy bulking up! Eat plenty of steak or whatever you like. One benefit of bulking up is that your strength is going to greatly increase. It's always fun to watch your training poundages go up.

My first thought was that Seinfeld episode where George models in his underwear for a photographer and then the guy at the photo developing store stole the photos and started spreading them lol.

That photo you linked is awesome! That sounds like it would be a lot of fun, and some what nerve wracking.

Kudos to you! I don't think many people would have the guts to stand completely butt naked in front of a bunch of total strangers and allow them to draw them.

i think it important for guys in their 20's to experiment with different physiques.. what you are doing here is 100% correct. how will you know what you truly love and excel in if you do not try different things?

Definitely not an easy decision to change such a big part of your life. Really looking forward to seeing you bulk up though.

This is one major decision you have made, and in a way, I am glad for you. I have seen your old pics from the times when you were bigger, and it definitely fits you very well. As long as you like what you do, I am sure that you will succeed. As for the actual pics, I can definitely see major improvements with the shoulders and chest - keep hitting it hard!
