That particular lighting was great to show off the tricep, but that was about it. The rest of my poses in that lighting sucked. You should see the lighting in my high school's weight room. Best lighting ever. Should see the stares of awe I'd get every time I'd pose, hahaha.
Posing was definitely a strong point for me. You could have 40 pounds of muscle over me, but when you posed next to me, I shat over everyone. I'm not even that lean, 7-8% in these pictures. I just really knew how to flex each and every muscle and how to show it off in the best possible way.

I'm very small, 5'6-5'7 and 130-140 pounds, but I certainly wasn't weak in high school. My homeroom teacher thinks that I had the potential to be a junior national champion in Olympic weight lifting for my weight class (he competes at the national level so I don't doubt him believing that).


I don't body build anymore, at least for now. I feel that I'm a little too immature to do bodybuilding right now. Plus, I can't commit myself 100% to it at this age. I'd rather not half ass bodybuilding. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it 100%, so it's either all or nothing for me.
I am starting to work out again, not for physique purposes, but rather to keep my body in good shape for athletic purposes. I also sort of enjoy being skinny. It creates a surprising factor when you're 3x as strong as you look.

7-8% is pretty lean haha it doesnt get much leaner than that.
but yeah nice posing.

are u this guy

What the fuck? That is me.

















No, just kidding. But it does resemble me a lot actually. This guy might have done Olympic weight lifting as do I, explaining the really strong squat. Funny how one comment said he could probably pick him up and throw him easily. That guy looks right around my size, and I HIGHLY doubt most people could take me down. It's easy to judge someone when they're small, but you never know if a person wrestled before or not or some other type of fighting experience. I've taken guys down that have 100+ pounds on me.

yup this

That's what the 125 pounder at my school tried to say to me (i'm 165 ish now?)
I picked him up and dropped him and walked away as they were waiting for the coach to start practice. It's really not as easy as you'd think, but it's definitely not difficult whatsoever. (In comparison to a non wrestler of the same weight)

Was he even strong, though? I mean I don't think it would be THAT difficult to take down a normal 125lber that doesn't work out. But against a wrestler that is actually strong, it's pretty difficult. I could see a lot of normal guys take down the 125 pounders on this year's line up for my high school but none of the lower weights are even that strong to begin with. Like 2 years ago, our 135lber, I doubt a normal 180+ pound person could take him down, since he 1)was a very good wrestler and 2) benched 315 and deadlifted 405 at a mere 135 pounds.
If you took down a 160 pounder however, I would be very impressed. Unless of course he was a first year and was an unathletic dork. Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that if the person has wrestling experience and they were strong then it'd be difficult. My first year I was able to destroy the lighter weights and I had no idea what I was doing, but when you have 20+ pounds on a person and they aren't exactly what you would call strong, it's pretty much a given to take them down.
I think you know what I mean, though.

I wrestled for 6 years, I can still beat almost everyone of our wrestlers, and they know it.
But yeah, for 125 he's really strong. Out muscles everyone he wrestles of the same weight. It's not really fair to compare me though, I'll have a buddy try to take him down tomorrow, should be a little better of a depiction.

my school had a pretty damn good wrestling team.... i slamed all of them in back yard wrestling

dont try this at home
