i was trying to figure out how to download some pictures of myself for an avatar or something and i had a rude awakening. i am not nearly as ripped and my chest and abs are seriously lacking!!! for some reason i look much bigger in the mirror. damn i really need to hit it harder in the gym. i recommend that everyone take pictures of themselves.
 
Don't come down on yourself too much. Light plays a big factor especially from a camera. The flash can really flatten you out.

LOL. I think I look kinda big in the gym :D Then as soon as I get home and those incandescent lights hit me :(

I personally think that many times pictures don't do people justice. Some people look better in pics, physique included. I think it's a matter of whether the flash / lighting likes the color or you skin or not.

Plus, unless you're ripped, you don't want to take pictures with the flash on....lol. I've got like 15% BF (damnit!!) and flash makes me look like a fatass, literally.
 
LOL...that's what Photoshop is for. You can do amazing things to edit your body parts. :D

I know where you're coming from hogie. I took some photos a while back, and I looked flat, especially my arms. I thought I looked pretty good in the gym mirrors, and kept hearing compliments from people. Turned out the lighting and flash just washed out whatever definition I had.
 
**** Photoshop.. :D

I look flat because I get treated quite well by my friends at Burger King.. :thumbsup:
 
people are always telling me that i am big and what not also. i think it might have something to do with the lighting but i still want to look good in any light. i was kinda bummed but then i went and looked at myself in the mirror again and i felt better:D

Hmmm....a pic of Pete, and a pic of a big pink boa, then add in a photoshop program. I think I can have some fun with that one. :D
 
IMO, If you look so so in a photo, Decent in the mirror, then you look even better in the flesh. Throw in a good pump and "fagetabatit". It can't be as bad as you think. We can be our own harshest critics at times. Now PUMP TIL YOU PUKE! :twisted:
 
I look like **** in pictures.
 
That one sucks. I'm going on a photo strike. No more. You want to see me, come to Florida.
 
Go look at my 2 before pics in my forum. I psoted a new one the other night. Really pathetic.

Ya- looking at yourself in pictures does suck. The best self-esteem booster in the world is doing an intense upper-body WO and then looking at yourself in a car window! I swear I look like Arnold in the car window.. :thumbsup:
