It’s kinda funny, but sometimes when I check out a progress pic I actually step back and say 'holy shit is that really me?" You don’t really realise it until you see it from the perspective of another person.

I’m actually too ashamed to look at old pictures of myself - too embarrassing how skinny I was (130ish pounds at 6ft…and that was fully grown not teen years).
It’s funny how much I have to explain to people that I used to be underweight lol
the term for anyone with body image issues is “dysmorphia”. Its alsmost inbred into all women , maybe except in Ratnestistan.

Yeah I hear ya. I have one where I was a fat/bloated 200lbs going back about 2-3 years ago now. When I whip it out to show people I have to pause for a minute to work up the courage to do so. So freakin’ embarrassing and to think I actually thought I was ‘big’ back then.
I wish I had one from 5 years back. That would have been interesting to say the least!
As for right now, I don’t really see myself as small nor feel that way. I just think I’m not that big. My perception has changed a lot. People I used to view as ‘swole’ now just look like a very lean average Joe. Or maybe marginally fat in my opinion. Funny how much perception changes, as the individual changes.

Doubt it. Because when most people consider you “Holy fuck, does he eat children?” you’ll still be nit-picking and over-obsessing about imbalances, your weight, etc.
And that’s what makes us different from everyone else.[/quote]
thats actually really true. ill never be satisfied with my shoulder size no matter how big i get. narrow clavicles suck!

honestly. there should be a warning sign on his thread. “DO NOT ENTER unless you wanna feel small.”

Yeh my opinion of big changed when I joined T-Nation. Although, even then, it took a while before mental barriers were taken down and I realised I could do it too or at least do a hell of allot better (and that people can do it not just because of teh roids)
The journey continues
think you could be a huge guy naturally like 20+ inch arms and like 230-260lbs at 68inchs tall?

Yeah, that would be difficult to complain about.
You mentioned that you were starting to get a little sloppy. I’m guessing if you cleaned up your diet a little and lost some pudge, that you would feel better about your current composition.
