Why blur your face out in some pics but not others?
Makes me think they’re pics of different people.

Also, how’d you get your areolas to shrink?

lol. i might just have to co-sign

the blurring struck me as odd too. and idk most people who are super skinny dont end up having the chance to be chunky. i think its time i went to bed though

I’m going to have to agree on the troll theory. I mean, the OP obviously isn’t shy about showing his face in the first pics.
Why go to the trouble of blurring his face out in the later ones? It’s a bit late to be trying to hide his identity now.

Still, decent transformation between the first and second photos. Even if the later ones are of a completely different person…

Extra credit for getting a haircut. The Farrah Fawcett look doesn’t really sit well on a man.

If he blocked out his face in the first one I wouldn’t get to look at his expression while watching him touch himself.

you need bigger traps and shoulders, apart from that good work, there are too many ppl who were you two years ago and aren’t willing too take the plunge

43

You did what you had to do man, I’m truly impressed.

44

OP gained 80 pounds in 2 years, I think gaining a considerable amount of fat with that large # would be expected. Great work nonetheless, after cutting up you could try cleaning up your diet and adding some cardio to slow the fat gain this time around, you won’t be some 120 pound twig anymore so no need to go eating like you’re in a rush to hit 300 pounds.

45

Looking much more manly. Keep up the hard work!

46

well you’ve had a lot of proggress since your start, some good and some bad. Work those arms man, gota get those up.

47

Someone else already said this… why blur out the last face picture nad not the first…

That person with their hand in their pants in the 1st picture will give me nightmares for weeks.

I am mostly saying this becasue I don’t see the truth in this.

I blurred out the first when I took it for another board a while back. I didn’t exactly feel like going through and blurring out all my pictures by the time that I posted here. I used to take my pics with my old webcam, but I had a friend take these last ones, so she did the blur effect on her mac. Not really that big a deal with me.

As far as the troll comments, best way I can tell you is that I have scoliosis. My shoulders are slightly un-even and my right shoulder blade sits lower and more protruded than my right. Another bone/frame issue, I have slender joints, which can be a good/or bad thing. But I have exceptionally slender wrists and hands for a guy. Very ectomorph type build.

(PS- The notion that ectomorphs don’t gain fat is a total myth. It just has to do with your bone structure, anyone can gain weight if they eat enough, and before I started lifting I was probably eating one meal a day.)

Yeah, kinda embarrassed about the first one… like I said its old and was me and my friends taking it for fun one drunken night in college. I have other pics from then, just not shirtless. I have to admit, the haircut was one of the biggest improvements I could have made.

Overall I am really happy with how I look. I’m posting my pictures up against bodybuilders and guys who have spent way more time and energy into this than I have. However, compaired to the average person, I doubt that anyone would look at me and think “fried shit.”

I hated being thin and wanted to look more masculine/ beefy, and I honestly think I have achieved that.

I do plan on beefing up my arms and lowering my bodyfat, but an 80 pound gain in two years was really hard work, and I don’t know many guys who have done that naturally without gaining bodyfat…

I do really appreciate the comments, I hadn’t thought much about the arms till now… and wow! Yeah, I need to get on that! Haha

lol speaking of trolls, i got called a troll in Steroids for asking what it felt like to be on them. …i have over 3,000 posts.

50

does look like someone else…

51

thats what I was aiming for! Thanks!

52

I don’t fucking buy it for a second.

Look at the nipples, he goes from having small nipples, to big nipples, back to small nipples.

Not the same person. I’m jumping on the “troll” bandwagon.

53

try shaved to hairy to shaved… haha

54

Pull out that camera then and take a picture of the current you with one of those posters from the first pic.
The reason people call out so many trolls is because we get so many trolls.

Ok. I said it before but your frame is COMPLETELY different between 207 pounds (heavy boned, wide clavicles as well as hips, classic endo-meso) and the first two sets (124 and 150 - where you have a narrow ectomorphic structure overall). I honestly didn’t think the structure can change that much…and still don’t. As others have mentioned your nipples look different but the addition of some protuberance in that region could be distorting the image somewhat.

The possibility (albeit small) that you actually went from a guy with no assumed potential to ever look muscular to a guy who now HAS the frame to add some serious size - is what leads me to think this journey was worth it, IF IT IS REAL.

Take advantage of this. Get on a traditional bbing split after you lose some weight.
NO full-body BS for you (while gaining mass). Also you have tiny wrists to go with those wider clavicles so I wouldn;t expect huge arms anytime soon…but some good progression will make a difference in how you look. Also I’d avoid going over 12% bodyfat with your structure.

Finally, we need a wheels shot (the after).
Also how did your lifts improve with the usual markers? OL squat, conv DL, pullups, dips, bench, rows, curls, skullcrushers?

Then again…I am 90% certain this is a troll job.

If that’s you then you did a good job. Atleast he didn’t stop bulking at the first sign of losing his six pack. He’s on the right track but needs to clean up the diet a bit. Keep it up.

He didn’t have abs to begin with so I dont’t see what you’re getting at :stuck_out_tongue:

58

OK. Putting the nipples to one side for a minute, if you look at photos 3 and 8, you will see that the shape of the ears are completely different.
Call me a skeptic, but I still think that this is a hoax. If the OP is genuine, then he’ll be able to post any of the unblurred photos in their original, unaltered state.

If you can do this, I’ll gladly apologize. I’m afraid that I’m going to remain an unbeliever until then…

59

Look closely at a zoomed out version of the first picture on your screen (preferably with a good number of people at work behind you).
You’ll see them, I promise.

If the OP can post of photo of his current self, hold a piece of paper stating the following…

“T-Nation
travie1984
___ pounds
November __, 2008
dillinger is awesome”

I will be satisfied. Otherwise, I would tend to believe this is fake.

And yeah, the “dillinger is awesome” part is optional.
