Fun facts about the 2008 picture:
This was shot during the WCG finals in Cologne in 2008 (by lil'susie^^). I registered my TL account a couple of days afterwards. During the event I talked to Ret and Zatic a little bit, but when I said I wasn't on TL, they kind of lost interest, so go figure (I wonder if Zatic remembers that, we talked when some austrian terran beat Nony in a pretty huge upset during the group stages). I also remember Mondragon looking at me several times with what I would call pretty undisguised disgust.
Oh yeah, and the 3 months leading up to the WCG were without a doubt the worst time of my life, I wonder how I even gathered the strength to show up there.

Epic, Malinor!! This is a great success story, You're the man! You are an inspiration of hard work and dedication for everyone on this forum.

Hero.
Hahaha I absolutely do remember that! The deciding game was on shin peaks and Nony misplaced his observer and didn't see the guy rolling out on the right side of the map.
Had no idea that was you though.
You transformation is fucking insane man. Just not recognizable.

Malinor is fucking awesome.

Any chance we could get some pics from Decaf, Malinor and BlondeOnBlonde?
Here's some of mines. The first pictures are from 2010 but in September of last year, I was probably a bit thinner than even that. To give you guys an idea, I could Deadlift 455lbs at that time. I really exploded while training in my parents garage. Went from 455lbs to 515lbs deadlift in 3 months with nothing but a Barbell and an adjustable Dumbbell I made. Still, it's funny that my bodyweight is 178-180 on all of these pictures.

The middle picture was taken in April. The one on the right was taken around one month ago. I don't get bigger, I get more ripped. Bruce Lee mode engaged :p

Very nice. I'll have something up this week... I'm hoping there's actually a noticeable difference!

Very nice! What kind of core exercises are you doing? Your abs/obliques are ridiculous.

A shitload of standing ab crunches, weighted leg raise, weighted or BW dragon flags, standing ab wheel. At the westside barbell they mention 400 reps of abs per week, with sets of 3-5 reps, up to 25-35 reps.

The change in Malinor, should be enough proof that doing core exercises is the shit, and other stuff is just bs.
go Malinor, you're the best representation this forum can have. Mad props, and very very much respect for you man.
You fucking rule.

Clearly you killed original Malinor and stole his identity!
(this is so epic  )

Still only 150lb. Fucking Crohn's. But then, when I started working out and doing TKD, I was closer to 140lb, and completely sedentary. That was early this year.
Plus of course, there's the tournament sparring win, as a green belt, in a division for all men's non-black belts.
So, overall, solid progress, just not much in weight.
