Challenge YOUR body image.

Skull Crushers are a triceps exercise. Here as a picture showing "start" and "end" position.

And here as a video

 

I also use the curled barbell for skull crushers.... which drives the boys nuts

ok.

1. Why wouldn't you use a curved bar?

2. You can do those with 65#!?!?!?! Holy shit dude! Thats insane!

3. I have a new exercise I want to try at the gym.

I no longer know what I look like. I apparently deleted all of the unflattering pictures from facebook. In my mind I still am shaped like this:

Would hit.

Exactly.

I may look like (205-ish):

And had a stopover at (260-ish):

But I often forget, and fall back into thinking I look like (150-ish):

The scars of excessive skinnyness (for a male at least) don't go away easy.

Not quite sure how to respond to that. Thanks, I guess.

At the beginning of this thread I referred to myself as rather potato-ish shaped. Well last week I tried on dresses and, shazam, I had an actual semi-indented waist finally. Here I am with my least favorite before picture ever (the standing side shot) and one from the dressing room.

Silo, seriously, props. You look decades younger from your original standing shot with the new look (the cut may have a little to do with it but I think that it's mostly that you are just exuding confidence!!!) Also, I hope you bought that dress, it's hot/professional/cute all at once!

I did not buy the dress but I am thinking about going back to get it. It's a bit dressy for work. I texted my husband from the store and said that we needed to do something that required a fancier dress so I could justify buying it. His response was "but that means I'd have to get dressed up too."  :tongue: Maybe my sister and I will have to have a night out instead.

This topic has about 48 pages, so I'm sorry if I'm sharing something that someone else already has, but here she is:

I also struggle with body image issues. This body image coach has some great, free resources on how to help change how you feel about your body. Her stuff is going to be making an appearance in one of my future challenges.

Meh, screw what I should look like according to whatever source. This is about a year old pic when I weighed 93kg. Now I thankfully have grown my back wider and actually possess traps. Bearmode ftw!

agreed. Other opinions of you are irrelevant. But mine is favorable if you were curious :)

Yes. Yes. Yes. Other than boob sweat, realizing I'm nearing a look-a-like to a werewolf transformation starting with the legs because I forgot to shave and the side glances I get when I go to the gym right after work wearing make up......I love this article- with the exception of the gaining weight by looking at food bit that made me roll my eyes a bit. But thanks for the link, love it!
