Again, not ripping on this guy at all. He’s way better looking than I am. Its just that when you open a magazine like Men’s Health you see a bunch of insanely good-looking jerks like this guy right here, Gregg Avedon
Or this guy, Frank Sepe
I think its funny whenever a male is complimented on his physique it has to be followed by no homo.
However, Pimpbot, your post is pretty gay, and leads me to assume this no homo stuff is completely necessary.
OP I think you may be able to do pretty good as a fitness model, what are your lifts and track times?

You could be right, but a haircut would do wonders for this kid.
LOL…alright fair enough, it was quite gay. At least I didn’t comment on his cheek bones, include the adjective “fab” to describe any of his muscle groups, or ask about any moisturizers or skin products he might be using.
Now I’m gonna go tear into a box of SlimJims, chug back a pitcher of Pabst Blue Ribbon and jerk off to wife abuse videos. Excuse me.
You could get into amateur modeling for sure but I wouldn’t be expecting to be a cover model for a big time magazine.
Those spots require that you have a very good body (better than you have now), you have to be very handsome, and most importantly you need connections
why do you look so much bigger in your first pic? and so tiny in your second?
if you can replicate the size of your first pic in all shots youll be golden, but you look very weak in the other shot like no musculature. is the angle really that decieving?
Yeah he looks jacked in the first pic and then I was like; “What the hell happened?” in the second. The magic of angles.
1st pic = 6.5
2nd pic = 3.5
The reason I might not look huge is becuase im not a bodybuilder, im a track athlete, so my body has to carry me round the track, its about having a balanced body rather than just huge.Ive never trained to get big, or trained as a bodybuilder, what I have now is my natural base. I havnt and dont take any supplements and have never looked at that stuff, what my thread was about was saying that im a track athlete thinking about going in to the industry, meaning starting to train for it.
As for the looks thing, i admit im young looking, cant change that, but give me a couple of years to mature and Imight have more of that look. but come on pillpot, frank sepe??haha Was approached a couple of years back by a number of fasion agencies, so if I have the face for them why not fitness. Added 2 slightly better facial pics.

what are your times?
Ha Ha yeah I know your a track athelete. I wasn’t critcising. You look big for a track athelete.
Hmm, interesting that this thread didn’t go up in flames like most here on T-Nation that have anything to do with the word “model” in it.
OP, I know of a few female models and a couple male models. The HARDEST task for them I’ve seen isn’t necessarily getting gigs and connections, it’s once you get them, not to travel down the wrong paths.
A few of them struggled with the lifestyle (partying, substance abuse, etc.) AND trying to keep their body and mind in shape enough for a shoot.
Good luck.
…and what other events did you do? (former long jumper and 100m runner here)

Not a Frank Sepe fan? Alright the guy looks a bit “questionable” from a ghey standpoint but he’s probably THE most successful fitness model ever. Guys been in every magazine and supplement ad imaginable.
Point I was trying to make: Most fitness models have chiseled features and look like superheros. You don’t, yet.
Most of the posters here won;t be “big” even in the offseason - or dieting down (obviously). TBH I haven;t seen many natural bbers who look big in everyday clothes in the DIETED DOWN state, but they at least stand out in a crowd in the off season. But it takes good proportions (wide shoulders, ribcage, upper arms and upper pecs and tiny waist) OR a crapload of size as well - as a layer of body fat - to look JACKED from any angle in OR out of clothes.
That said, the OP isn;t interested in being huge, his profession involves attending photoshoots in a dieted down state in specially selected poses - usually holding some sort of weight so he will be golden anyway (since no one gets photographed for a mag in a COMPLETELY relaxed state).

Dwendel, my appologies, i eat my words
i think its the 28" waist that through me off, as normally sprinters have a bit more of a blocky look, but all the power to ya, i’m jealous of that haha
you do look way bigger than your profile weight…is that current?
anyways, best you can do is if you have some friends into modeling talk to them, or start searching on your own who might be able to get you in the right track starting a profile and start selling/taking pictures or however it works, good luck

Most sprinters I know look like whips, especially when you get above 100m.

What does your diet look like?

The angle is pretty damn deceiving.
