That's a pretty outstanding pic right there. Already commented in pic thread but that's some primo aesthetic balance right there. Fat guys gonna hate.

thanks man
without a pump too

i wanted a pump for the shoot, had one for 5-10 and by then i was just so busy with them telling me where to look and how to pose i didnt get another chance.

Some of the ladies would fear the pump look but you still look blazing good for not having a pump. Had me fooled, except that I thought the chesticles and ant delts looked too smooth up top to be fully pumped, given other pics of you.

yeah and i had 2 muffins to help with a pump that morning
and well without it just kinda held a little water and didn't get the best state i could of been in for the shoot.

but next time i want a gym setting for it and i can definitely have a pump.
none the less it was fun and stuff, never done anything like that and hoping the 5-6 photos i get back are awesome

New profilepic for me on Grinder and Tinder, check.

looks dynamite. It's almost too bad they airbrushed it so much it almost looks like cgi.

You're a firefighter ffs, part of the job is looking like a motherfucking MAN and you nail it.

We have the same belly button

bro.... you're sexy AF... where the fire gear at?!?!

If you're using the pics to get into magazines for fitness etc they are probably the perfect breed.
If it's for sponsors or coaches to review, or for you for the comps, ofc you'd want the pump but you still get a good idea of where you're at.

If it's just for you, it's up to your interpretation. Doing the pics in a gym is a great idea. We had lots of people come into the 2nd gym I trained at just so they could do photo ops. Which makes sense, because they were taking pics for contest prep. Best part was always girls asking if their glutes looked right because they couldn't see them as easily.

haha well too be honest all of the above.
getting featured somewhere would be a goal
getting another sponsor, maybe something bigger than mine right now, definitely a goal.

and well for me as well, maybe i never compete and i like these photos to look back on and remember what i could be.
or i use them to push myself further and go to the next level with them .
