DP snapped these. You can see why she stuck around. 🤣  

20 years old. Maybe 165 pounds. 1.5-2 years of lifting.  

On my goodness! Yep, that Princess definitely knows how to pick 'em!! You were, and are, awesome Diablo. 💜 

Wow, so young, just a kid! 😮 Still handsome inside and out!😊👍 

I loved that crappy gym. Your hair shadow...lol. Sometimes it doesn't seem very long ago and then there are pictures like these...just a baby. Crazy! 

Studdly youngster dude! ✌️ 

Haha, I showed this to a co-worker(male DP, :) and he said I looked like Jet Li or something lol. Anyway, yeah DP, the hair shadow was an issue in a lot of these with those disposable cameras and the crazy flash. Usually making my head look even bigger. Thanks Shirfleur, 60pack and Shrewdness! 

Wow! Handsome inside and out indeed! Love that you took these, DP! Thanks for sharing!

Gracias, Slow Meta 😁 

20 years ago you were 10 years old? The math doesn't add up.  

A great testimonial for Planet Fitness - the home gym have you the foundation, but "Big Purple" built the house! 💪

What? That's not a home gym- that was our first gym- it was crappy- a hole in the wall- but so fun. He has had muscles long before PF... PF is for maintenance. 💪🏻🏋🏻‍♂️💗🤸🏻‍♀️ 

Yeah, that's my original gym that used to be a martial arts dojo. It was a tiny dungeon. It had a punching bag in one of the corners. I only listened to The Sickness full blast on repeat lol. 

I pretty much reached my peak at that gym. These pics were from only 1 year and 3-8 months in. I was a chubby 220 pounds when I started the previous Spring or Summer.
