Avatar pics. Put up or shut up.

I know I am newer on here and I don't want to sound like a d*ck or stir up a bunch of sh*t but...
what's up with only a small percentage of members having a picture of themselves in their avatar? I've been off boards for years now but those were the good ol days in my opinion (for many reasons). Most members at least had their pic for their avatar and a lot of members would post their pics in threads excited about their progress. I have always liked the saying "practice what you preach". People claiming they are this or that, 300lbs, 5%bf, 22" arms, blah, blah. It's all talk and can be complete bullsh*t a lot of the time. I remember when I started in the game and was on boards and looking up to the guys that had the best physiques on the board. I would listen to what they said assuming they really knew what they were talking about. It's like personal trainers who are fat. Sorry but I'm not listening to you if you can't apply it yourself you lazy ass. Anyone can copy and paste stuff on boards without knowing much of anything, or make up a complete bs persona (Under-Radar, classic member from way back in the day on boards). Now I'm nothing special but at least I have the balls to post a pic in my avatar of what I actually look like. People who don't post pics have something to hide in my opinion. Say what you want, think I am out of line, tell me to get fckd and go to another board then; whatever. I'm sure true VIP members who have been in the game a long time can relate to how it used to be and what I am talking about.

I understand what your saying but allot of guys and girls worry about LE seeing there pics,tattoos ,scars identifying marks it is a small threat but a real one none the less,but I'm from the old school days too my friend I totally get what your saying.

Pics are in my thread brother. I understand what your saying. Most are full of shit. Avatar is a way to express yourself. I enjoy seeing the different avatars I feel it gives a glimpse into their personality. Nothing wrong with calling a guy out if done respectfully.

Yes Sir I hear what you are saying. Editing photo's is easier than ever these days. I have distinct markings on myself that I am mindful of when posting.
And LE in reality are way too busy and under-budgeted to worry about AAS users. They want suppliers.
And thanks btw the way for keeping it real and having a pic in your avatar, RESPECT.

Yep I have my pics every where for 20 years

A lot of us have in the past we just change it up because a lot of us have known each other for years and seen pics in past.. That and I really could care less what somebody thinks that’s irrelevant to my life lol.

I’m just curious who said they were 300lb at 5% on here lol.

Im 324lbs...5%...ummmm not even close, nor do i wish to be.

I say do whatever you are comfortable doing. In this day of easy resources,, if they want to find you they will whether you post a pic or not

I'm cheering for you my friend I still get the first. Date??

i like most dont feel the need to post pics of myself to frequently. i am and have very unique things about my body that i can bet you a months pay that no one else on this planet has. so rarely will i ever put up pics for security reasons for most and second i dont need the approval. i take pics weekly to asses progress and make changes as needed. i have got some pics up here though, actually i have one with a tape measure of my arm when i was about 240 ish as well as a few stage pics. just not my thing for the most part, i am not in need of approval or gratification from people that i do not know

I hear ya. Being a noob on board is like being a new kid in school who has to get to know everyone.

Lol that was just generally speaking of things ppl might claim. I wasn't referring to this board in general.

Yes Sir I have very distinct markings on my body as well that could easily point me out of a crowd. Nor do I need approval from anyone either. Boards have changed a lot since I was on them back in the day. Members pics showed a bit of validation back then. I remember starting on boards and I really looked up to the guys that had the best physiques. I would really pay attention to what they said assuming they knew what they were talking about.

and then there are those who post pics that are filtered as shit or aren't even them. I don't mean here at FG but in general across the net

I am not a body builder I am 6' and 170# I train for Muay Thai/boxing. Plus I am skinny fat right now. No one wants a pic of that. I did post pics back when the forum was brand new when I did BB. Hey baby can you find those old pics? I looked but could not find em. I was big back then, no one believes me HAHAHA.

Just happy to be a skinny fit guy now

crazed you will notice I never said I was a jacked monster either............

That's funny, when I first started on here I realized one guy's avatar wasn't him, I was really upset. More recently I convinced myself that Thudgens was really Cutler.

That is worse than not posting a pic at all. Hate ppl that lie.

Hate that. No likes from me on IG or where ever with filtered to sh*t pics that's for sure.

Yes a lot of people worry about who sees it. I have a couple pictures in the pics section of my progress over the years. I hear you on the old days of boards, things have changed ALOT!
