Only just managed to realize you can check who gave you rep and stumbled across it and noticed you wanted to see some pictures of me lol

Like 2 months after lifting.







New pictures there you go flyingfree if you ever even find this thread lol

awsome pics! you really show progress! how much weight did you gain from the first to the second pic, and how long was it?

i have gained about 15 to 15.5 kilos and i have done that in about 10 months. a trainer that i was talking to at my gym thinks thats really good

That is awesome!!! Great job, dude.

Smith you look fantastic! Lean and mean Smithmachine---->ROCKS!

Great work, young man!

Be proud. You have every reason to be.



Best wishes in all that you set out to do in life and in fitness,



Chillen

AND++ you figured out that reverse bicept flex to accentuate those long arms!!! NICE.

we have the same ab configuration- blocks. Now if I can just get as lean. oh my - in time.

I have no idea what my abs look like as I have never seen them...

Chillen in a tribute to Smithmachine:


Wisdom is knowing what to do next, Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it.

“Who I am really keeps surprising me.”

Be not surprised, young man.

Energy and Persistence can conquer all things.


Wisdom, Skill, Virtue, Energy, and Persistance. You have all these qualities, Smithmachine.

Look no further than at yourself and your pics.




ROCK ON!


I leave you with this thought from Babe Ruth:

"Its hard to beat someone that never gives up"

Chillen in interpretation:

Do you know someone that never seems to give up? No matter what happens they keep going.
Take a minute and think about trying to beat someone that never gives up.
Even losing and failure is a kind of victory for some people.
Try to look at life with a perspective of learning as much as you can from every situation and you might find that giving up shouldn’t ever be a choice. Keep trying and using those lessons of failure to build a solid foundation and victory will be your sweet reward!



You are the best. You will withstand the test. And, leave behind the rest.


Best wishes to you my young friend,



Chillen

Thanks so much guys for the kind words and everything especially you chillen

Be proud of your accomplishments.


I wish you the best in all that you set out to do in life and within fitness,


Chillen
