Pic of JP and Verstegen

This was taken by one of the roaming photographers at the party I went to at Athlete's Performance a couple of weeks ago. Mark was a great host. He may end up joining our forum soon too! More on that later.

And yes, I know I'm looking a little heavy there. Been under a lot of stress lately and my body has suffered. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Chris Correia · 02-23-2006, 07:24 AM

I wasn't looking at how heavy you are. I was thinking of your taste in shirts. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Hey, that'd be cool to have Mark around. Can you get me a free trial year of his site? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

OldGuy · 02-23-2006, 07:29 AM

I bet he doesn't wear that shirt out in "Deliverance" country.

If you keep wearing shirts like that, someone is bound to resurrect the "man-bag" thread. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

chris_f · 02-23-2006, 08:02 AM

Awesome, the HIT revolution! This might be the most offtopic post I have ever seen, but it could get interesting. Maybe JP will thank the diversion from the picture?

HA! Yes they do! I stay far, far away from that one though.

Mahler · 02-23-2006, 10:20 AM

Mark is looking a tad heavy in the gut, too, but at least he had the sense to wear his shirt out. Or, maybe it's just the shirt bulging out. Actually, it's nice to see that even the best (that includes you, JP) have problems with weight from time to time. It makes it easier for us mortals to deal with our own vices.

My evil other self said that, should Mark ask. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm no JP, but I can't stress this point enough to people trying to lose some weight. Cold water has no calories, is delicious, and will actually burn calories bringing it up to body temp.

But at least they (and others here) have muscle underneath the fat. (That doesn't include me!)

OldGuy · 02-23-2006, 10:32 AM

Anyone thinks Mark looks like this guy?

Axis · 02-23-2006, 11:18 AM

Yikes!!! A disembodied head and forearms.

02-23-2006, 11:20 AM

lol i'm not sucking up - i'm a fan of pastels [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Jean-Paul · 02-23-2006, 11:32 AM

Mahler, I'm sure it's just the shirt on Mark. He was actually really slim looking, and very athletically built. Wish I could say the same in my case. The biggest problem is that I packed those pants before trying them on. They were brought in to a size 30 last year because none of my clothes fit me after I lost that weight. I'm wearing a 32 at the moment, where its not as bad as it was before I dropped all that, it's still a little too big for the pants. I'm still not in optimal shape though. My shoulder, neck and hips are all out of whack, and it has me so depressed that my workouts just went to shit!

This reminds me: my back went out again last night. Second time since my car accident. It's WAY too sensitive. I should've claimed injury! I had no idea this would happen though.

Cool, I just got an EAS mag that has an interview with him in it. I just have to read it now
