Three more Funkin' weeks!!

**P-funk** · 06-09-2004, 07:52 PM

lol about the armpits!!

thanks man, I am glad they worked. I still feel fat though?? I don't feel ready at all.

I am 180lbs right now at who knows what bf% and I just feel out of shape still.

PreMier · 06-09-2004, 07:55 PM

I think you need a better camera, for pics. But you seriously look fuckin awesome! I think it may be just the first time jitters.. once you do this a few times, you will know.

I wish I looked like that!

**P-funk** · 06-09-2004, 07:57 PM

The pictures were taken on my cell phone...lol. I wish I had enough money for a digi cam!! I need more clients for that...lol

PreMier · 06-09-2004, 07:58 PM

You dont have a friend with a digital? What about another trainer at your gym? Have them e-mail them to you or something.

Dude, how can you afford a phone with a camera, and not a camera? I have a brick in my pocket, but a nice camera at home

**P-funk** · 06-09-2004, 08:00 PM

The phone was a gift.

I really don't know anyone that has a digital camera!! LOL....I hang around with a bunch of jack asses.

Var · 06-09-2004, 08:00 PM

Damn, Funk! Its gotta be first show jitters or something. You're shredded!! Nice work!

Monolith · 06-09-2004, 08:17 PM

Damn pics still wont work for me!

Deeznuts · 06-09-2004, 08:22 PM

me either

PreMier · 06-09-2004, 08:23 PM

This is the best I can do. For some reason, the cell phone uses a lot of bytes for the pic size

JLB001 · 06-09-2004, 08:25 PM

Patrick Patrick! You look great! Stop stressing over there or I will send Craig to kick your butt. Your coming along great, just keep going!

Deeznuts · 06-09-2004, 08:25 PM

Holy shit man. No way do you need to be nervous. You've developed TONS. Your lat spread is just amazing. Great work! As far as conditioning goes you look shredded for three weeks out.

**Jodi** · 06-09-2004, 09:00 PM

Funky - You look amazing. Please don't stress sweetie, you are going to do just fine!!!!

Monolith · 06-09-2004, 11:01 PM

That lat spread is friggin awesome.

Hard to tell, but those legs look pretty damn big, too.

PreMier · 06-09-2004, 11:04 PM

Want to take measurements?

shortstuff · 06-10-2004, 02:51 AM

PF- You look great!!! Pictures, keep them coming

**P-funk** · 06-10-2004, 04:06 AM

thanks for the encouragment guys. the thing that gets me the most is that i am happy at this level of leaness and at 180lbs I could comfprtably sit here and try and slowly put on some LBM over the summer and work my way up. the problem is that even though i like this level of leaness i still am not sure that i am lean enough to step on stage so it just kind of mess with my head.

Rocco32 · 06-10-2004, 04:57 AM

Holy Crap P! I knew you looked good buy you've made astounding changes. You look great man! You should be proud of yourself!

**IainDaniel** · 06-10-2004, 06:52 AM

Damn Patrick, No need to worry, looking ripped. No doubt alot of changes will occur over the next few weeks.

Since youre on the subject... what did happen to w8 and DP? They both just sort of disappeared one day.

**Jodi** · 06-11-2004, 03:53 PM

About a year ago they were banned from here. The 2 of them started their own site. Leah since sold the board over to DP & TJohn and moved on to bigger and better things in her life and is doing well.

Funky and I were both moderators there. Funky still is but DP and I got into an argument and he banned me.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
