Critique- but be nice - I'm fragile

Only doing this because IBB and Wannabe Draper asked if I was going to.  Haven't lifted arms in a while because of injury (subluxation of radial head), but I just started back training them.  Oh yea - maybe legs later.
And - I don't know how to put two pictures in one post - idiot--

fragile my arse you built dude

if you're needing a confidence booster... i'll give ya one.

You're flipping huge, and cut too.  why aren't you happy?? what more do you want.  you have a body that lots of people strive for...

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

Okay - I'm not fragile - just nervous humor

damn!!  I think the scariest part about you is your not even flexing your back correctly.. your flexing your traps when you should be expanding your lats.. atleast I think you are the way your traps are pushing into them self.. that's not suppose to happen.   You need to take a reshoot because your much bigger then you look in this picture.  
 
 
Looking awsome at your height and weight.

here is your other picture.. You double posted so I thought I would delete and put it into this thread.

You are dry as a bone.

 
IBB- Thanks- yes, I am clueless about posing. These are the first 'flexing' pictures I've had the guts to take.
 
And - dry as a bone- is that a good thing or bad thing?

fragile my ass, you're in almost perfect shape dude. No worries.

bryphil - Looking awesome man. Now I am wondering why you ever hesitated to post pics? You should be proud!

I think the 'dry as a bone' reference means you are very cut and look as if you are holding no water-weight. (a very good thing)
 
Are you always this cut?
 
Not much to critique here, you are well developed. I would like to see some leg poses of course and probably a front and rear lat-spread. Oh and a front double-bi.

whats your height and weight? lookin good

You're hot baby, HAWT!

I had no idea!

*Envy goes here*

Man, you are HUGE! And very lean to top it off.
How could you not be happy with that?

I'd love to have your body. (no homo)

Yep.

Damn bro, you're big AND ripped. You're body style is exactly what I'm shooting for (as well as about 99% of the rest of the male population). Keep up the good work,
how long have you been lifting for?

Shoulders back.
Head high.
Always progressing.


Supps: whey, flax oil, food, water

and Super Pump, it makes me dizzy sometimes

Ouch. Nice work mate.

Thanks for the comments  - your flattery is appreciated - though not as deserved as you make it seem
 
Wannabe_Draper - I usually stay around the same %BF - I can drop a few and tighted up the lower abs when I'm really focused.  I'll post again sometime with your suggestions - about wondering why I hesitate to post - it's because I'm putting half-naked pictures of myself up for people to see!  I don't look like a model like you.
 
Wicked121 - today I was 5'10" and 181 pounds - thanks
 
ts66stang - I've lifted for a number of years - mostly for athletics - never for body building 'til recently - I'm not sure I want to make the committment to get a lot bigger - I love lifting and working out in general - but I'm probably too shy to actually pose in front of people with so little clothes - I've never really thought about it

A couple leg shots from today.
 
Sorry about the 'fragile' thing - it was a poor attempt at humor
 
Notice the diffrence in my right gastroc - torn during racketball

Remember that if we are seeing your pics, we took the time to register and are serious about this site.  I understand your hesitation to posting pics, but this site has been my inspriation to keep going.  I"m 5'5" and 130lbs, 9% bf and I still wont post my pics for the same reason as you - wow, i should take my own advice. go figure. easier to dish it i suppose.
 
But you are ripped - i'm part of that 98% of the poplation, as mentioned earlier, that is aiming for what you have. 
 
Nice work dude, well done - just let me know your diet

(didnt see page 2 before i posted)
 
ahhh... forgot to mention.  i need a workout partner, seems you'd push me further.
 
still - nice gains - legs look awesome, back is sweet - k enuf envy goin on here.
 
keep goin - push it further - keep us updated

A good workout partner is important - at least for me it makes motivation a lot easier and workouts more enjoyable
About the diet - I don't count calories or do anything special. I try to eat healthy - good sources of protein, fruit, vegetables and couple whey protein shakes a day.  I spread it out through the day rather than 3 meals. 
This is an area I could do better (need more motivation or encouraement).  Pizza and chocolate are always temptations that I endulge - when I don't eat 'clean' I don't have as much energy or stamina.

very impressive...you have reached many peoples lifetime goals for fitness.

I've put on about 3-4 solid pounds
Headed for spring break in Central America to build houses and dig latrines for 10 days.  We have peanutbutter sandwiches at the work site and one big meal in the evening.  Last year I lost 5-6 pounds.
You get a good tan though.

Not good at posing.
