I can't agree with that if your 220lbs. and 5'9" you don't have 13% BF. I rank you from your pick to be about 180-185lbs. Around 15-18BF%. I'm not trying to pick on you My personal oppinion and use of my judgement tell me that it can't be. Sorry, But you still get props for posting. Where are those legs. ------------------ | ||

Swollen man I'm sorry, but 220 lb's, come on. Arnold was 6 feet and competed at just over 220 lb's and I am afraid you look no where near as big as Arnold. However if you are a natural you have got pretty good development. | ||

I'll have to agree with the lads, either you're carrying a lot more fat, have enromous legs, or your weight is not 220. I'd guess you were somewhere around 180, how long have you been working out? | ||

Gotta say I was expecting a running back like physique at 5'9" 220lbs. (Mike Tyson was always around that at just under 6 feet)I think your scale might be off, considerably. You are big for 17 and natural, congrats. Arms look good but your chest looks a little flat. Definately potential, good luck- | ||

I also have to agree, your weight is in the 180 range or lower. I competed naturally at 183-187 and I am considerbly larger in size. I am 5'10. I would give you credit though, it takes balls to post your picture for the world to see. You have a good base keep it natural as long as you can, then turn to the darkside. chesty ------------------ | ||

Touche'therealj.I was directing my comments more at the guys who were putting down his physique while simultaniously bragging about themselves(without being ballsy enough to PROVE it by posting a pic of their own).I have no argument with them whatsoever regarding the 220 thing,that wasn't what I was referring to.My point was to get on these guys who sit behind their computers cutting down someone elses physique and give all these stats about how great they are.If true,then have enough balls to PROVE it,rather than chatter about it on some computer.For all we know,the guys cutting people down could be some buck-fifty little geek who's worked out three times in his entire life and is safely sitting behind his computer screen chopping everyone else down.Hows the saying go,"Money talks,bullshit walks".And yes,this refers to the 220 statement as well,HehHeh. | ||

Not bad bro. I believe you're natural, but you don't look to be 220 or 17. Maybe you are 17, but at 5'9 and 220 pounds you should have 19-20 inch arms. You're proably around 17in. Don't get me wrong bro, it's great to see that muscle mass on you. | ||

Well, Swollen, you asked the bros and broettes to "Be honest," so you can't blame them for being honest, or for asking that you be, too, when posting your stats. Now, we all "gild the lilly" a bit every once in awhile, that's just human nature, but the photo evidence will show a guy who's 5'9" 220, and a guy who's not. I, too, though, give you props on being willing to post your pic and face the ruthless fire of some badass bodybuilders like we have on this board. You have a good foundation, Swollen, and real good traps, looks like. It's amazing what good traps can do for your overall look. Wish mine weren't so pathetic. But, hey, that's what this board is for, to help the guys and gals keep their shit together and move on in the pursuit of iron. That'll go most smoothly if we all stay honest. Keep up the good work, Swollen. Bjaarki ------------------ BECOME SOMEONE'S HERO! | ||

Now I know why some of you guys are too chicken shit to post pics. It's too hot in here from the flames. HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD OF TACT???? Honest doesn't mean cruel, which is what a lot of you have been. But I ain't mad. I have been 230lbs @ 15% bf and cut down to 189lbs @ 5% for wrestling. Right now, I'm @ 218lbs @ 13% bf. Stats; Set Bench 200lbs. Measurments; Chest 45" Body Fat Percentage; If you don't believe them, well, I don't know what to tell you...it must be self denial that someone so young could get as heavy as you without AS, and that all the money you spend and time you put in is matched by someone younger with good genetics. Or, I need to cut up to show it, most likely a combination of both. It is a shame, because for a long time I exclusivly hung out at the "natural" boards. But got tired of the self rightouse "I'm natural" attitude most of them carried. I was always told the guys on AS boards were pricks. And at some they were. But then I found this board, a board that carried a certain level of respect and code many others didn't. But some of you haven't done much to disprove the prick theory. ------------------ | ||

You posted a picture of yourself as a baby in the field of resistance training. This isnt the chat forum where your going to be flattered into the next millenium for posting a picture of yourself flexing or posing. There are national lvl competitors and lifetime athletes on this board, what meaure of respect do you expect? My honest opinion is that you look like 80% of all 17 yearold who workout. I cant say any more. Post your picture and request criticism or suggestions on the Anabolic forum of elite fitness then prepare yourself for the honesty. Thats not cruel, thats life. ------------------ | ||

I am quite sure those arms are not 17. My legs are at 29 in right now and used to avg around 26. All my measurements were what you posted about 4 months ago, except for calves, they were 17 1/2, and I only weighed 215 at 5'10. Here is a pick and you be the judge It is not a flame, just a comparison, You have potential if you can be objective with yourself. I achieved 90% of my goals completely natural and didn't start till I was 34 years old. ------------------ [This message has been edited by chestyII (edited August 31, 2000).] [This message has been edited by chestyII (edited August 31, 2000).] | ||

your getting a little too sensative swollen. you asked for the guys to be honest and they are being honest.for 17 you do have a good foundation probably better then most of us had to start off with. they say pictures add 10lbs, and even with the ten your still looking like 180lbs.you could post as many stats as you feel necessary, but thats not going to change what people see. if your 220, then good for you, who really cares,your not fooling anybody but yourself if it isn't true.you should feed off of all the positive responses you received, instead of the few negative ones( which aren't really negative, just some guys honest opinions)nobody flammed you hard, not like we do to that other idiot who likes to put his face and skeleton like physique on the board. i would love to post my own pics, but right now i'm not ready, hopefully some day i will, and i'd be happy to receive as much positive feedback as you just did. ------------------ | ||

Looks good swollen. Honestly you don't look 220 but pictures can be decieving to the eyes. Good wrok overall bro. Keep it up. And therealj: Give Huck a little break, I don't think he was talking just to you. BTW, he didn't feel like explaining the story but I will because I don't like seeing good bros get bashed. He is formerly "The Ape". His account got messed up and he got all his posts back but had to register under a new handle, which is why it says he registered in August. And also, I have gotten over 1000 posts in about 2 1/2 to 3 months, but so what?? Why are you making that seem like a bad thing? | ||

Alright dawgs, let me break it down. 1)I'm not a bitch. And I'm not crying about it. I love it, this is the kind of feed back someone needs to crush out flaws. I want to compete for the Olympia, so I should get used to such critisism...I asked for it. 2)It just pisses me off when I bust my ass off to get to such a weight and then get told I'm full of shit. I think that would piss anyone off. 3)This may sound like a gay excuse, but, the digital camera I used had a flash and I didn't get the shadows I posed for. And you have to admitt, that makes or breaks the pose. I got broke, my fault. 4)Bottom line, I'm going to come back here with pics of me 10x better. Shit, if I didn't have room for improvement then I would be holding the Sandow. It's still all good. ------------------ | ||

I've read most of the posts and I can say that camera work and shadows are going to play a role. Bodyfat levels play a role. Bone structure also plays a role. We can't see his legs or his abs. I've weighed in the ranges, at the height of 5'9", of 115-210 lbs. I'm 184 right now at ~9% bf during week two of my current cycle. People say I look over 200. When I weighed 155 at 6%three years ago when I was natural, people thought I weighed 175+. But it's because I have a very small frame with a small waist, muscles on me look that much bigger. More so than guys who weigh 200. Maybe he has a large frame. I would imagine that to be the case, especially if his arms measure 17" which I believe here is possible. His arms don't look 17",again, because of his bone structure, bicep insertions, and bf %. Swollen, just get cut before you post a pic the next time. And take dozens of pix on your digital camera in different lighting, and then you can select the one that best represents what you look like in real life. Or get it professionally done. It's not a bad idea to archive your progress in a format like that. | ||

Therealj, chill out bro, I am not trying to start any wars here. I was simply backing up Huck because you were ragging on him about posting 900 posts in a month. And just because I agreed with him does not mean I was aiming that at you either, so quit taking offense to it. And I have never claimed to be a f*ckin guru at all and I am getting a little tired of people taking offense to meaningless little comments. I was not jumping all over you, I was just agreeing with Huck about how when someone else posts a pick, everyone jumps in and tells them they are lying about their wieght and shit. Once again to clear things up, I was not trying to start anything here, I was just backing up Huck. I think the only one here who is concerned with posts here is you. I could care less how many posts I have. Right now I am laid off from work so I have had plenty of spare time to get on the board. The only comment I was making was "why is having alot of posts a bad thing?" And BTW, you obviously mistook me for bragging there. I could care less about the number of posts I have. I don't post B.S. and if I think I have something to contribute, I will and that is how I get all my posts. So chill out bro, I was not trying to get into an argument here and was not trying to act like "almighty Mav". There are tons of bros on here who make me look like a kindergardner when it comes to knowledge of AS and I respect them all. I have never once claimed to be an expert or a "guru" as you put it so quit taking offense to my comments. | ||
