BULLSHIT!!!
I've given props here for good pics, just not often as most don't deserve it.
One guys "before" pics in the chem section are better than I will ever be and I've given him props, lol, so let's not get out of hand here man!
Well, that's a plus in your favor. There are some folks on Getbig who almost never have anything positive to say.
The way I see it, Sev's early pictures with a fat gut and no apparent muscle development are the true before pictures. If you compare how he looks today to those, he's made great strides and has been very successful. Whether the contest judges place him above other contestants in his category remains to be seen.
Granted a lot can be accomplished with good lighting, adept posing, darkened skin tone and the right fitting posing suit. He had none of those things going for him in the before photo. He also looks much more confident now.
Needless to say, Sev looks a heck of a lot better than I do or ever have for that matter. The only thing we share are our bald/shaved heads.....I think his is bigger than mine though.
