the pic in the shirt is 1989 as a senior in high school.....the pic below it is after 4 months in the Marine Corp....I had gained about 50+ lbs......the top left pic is the condition that i had dwindled away to by 2000.....embarassing. the bottom left pic is a fatty pic because I had quit lifting for about a year, and actually we took the pic to see the effects.....I will post new recent pics this May after some cutting....thanks for the encouragement guys....i don't look near as good as some of you monsters, but I'm happy for the amount of time that i can hit the weight pile!
