Male Snake Keepers!

[Kenj620]

Its really so hard taking these self snapshots , Id probly try doing some topless muscle poses too but its hard enough trying to get the snakes to stay still.

I dont know its Ive posted one with her on this thread but I dont show her off enough. This is my girl swirl, hope to prove her out this year by hatching some crazy looking little pythons.

OK, this is embarrassing for me but here goes...

This is me back in April of this year:


This is me now on 21 August, 35 pounds lighter:

Thank you for all of the kind words, ladies. Almost making me blush over here. And Mike - do what you gotta do brother. While I still love women, I just don't have any interest in getting into something even remotely serious right now. Now if something grows into that, then fine, but I will NOT be looking for something serious.

Looking good brother! I haven't dropped 35 pounds since April but I've probably dropped 5 - that is fat lost as well as muscle gained. I'm a bit hungry right now but am not goint to eat until I take my protein shake after I get done in the gym in a couple of hours. No weights today but I will be walking at a 20:00 mile pace on the treadmill at 15% incline with a 60 pound pack, and I'll hit my abs before I do that. I lift 3 days on 1 day off and in those three days hit every muscle group. What did you do for exercise?

And here is a better one of my face, as requested. This is me and my 1SG by the grill. Every sunday I cook out for our guys so we can get out of the DFAC and spend time together as a team outsid of a work environment.

Thanks bro, it's guys like you that motivated me. I retired in '06 and started work as a DA civilain in '08. So I see Soldiers every day and was kind of going to the gym but just checking the block not taking it serious at all. Then I got to the heaviest I ever been, my back was getting worse, migraines getting worse, the arthritis in my joints was getting worse and I needed to change. Without going into too much detail here's my workouts: I run at least 2 miles every day (Monday thru Sunday), staying between 7 and 8 minute mile (some days are better than others), and an ab routine. I try to do an ab routine different than the day before. Then I go back to gym at lunch. Monday and Wednesday is weights - low weight high reps - working chest, arms, and abs. Wednesday I work shoulders, back, and legs. Tuesday and Thursday is some sort of cardio workout - I'll go for distance or wear a weight vest or run hills or do sprints. Friday is crossfit day. I also changed my diet a lot. I cut WAYYYY back on carbs, eat higher protien foods, cut back on sugary drinks and drink a lot of water, snack on fruits, eat more veggies, and portion control. The good thing is I don't get hungry so I don't feel the urge to snack.


P.S Great picture of you and 1SG. I have some like that of me and my Platoon.

[gsarchie]

Hell yeah man! My 1SG and I get along great and even though we do our own workouts we will still go to the gym together. I am one of the few officers that he has every actually liked and I have a huge amount of respect for him. He's a scout and on paper is perfect, but he didn't get picked up for SGM this month, at leat I believe, because he doesn't have a degree and he is white. Oh well I guess, all I know is that he would be an absolutely outstanding CSM of a battalion or BDE someday. I'm artillery, what about yourself?

I was Infantry my whole career and spent the first ten years Airborne. They were going to make me 1SG to tempt me to stay but I was ready to retire. I understand what you mean about his not getting promoted, I witnessed that before.

Ladies, be glad I'm not posting pics of myself without a shirt on. This thread would never recover if I did.

More old pics I came across earlier.

The day I cut all my hair off in June of 2009. That was a bad day.


Gone.

No way man, I think that you look much better in the second photo (no homo).
