| Friday October 29 2021 - A boot and Canadian speedo | Gear | |||||
A potential wrestling opponent has recently asked me to upload a picture of me with a boot... the clichΓ© type of shot that almost every jobber likes: where you are from the ground up, looking at your opponent victorious with a boot on your chest or on your face. It took me a while to find a shot that I like. POV shots from the ground up are rather hard to take when you're alone.
The second shot was necessary because I had to try to remove the fan on the ceiling... π In the end, you see instead my pull-up bar. π
I then tried the same view again, but without the boot.
It's completely different, obviously! This angle makes me look like that I'm super big! In other words, you don't need a boot in yer face to show that you mean business. π I finally got the red sweat ankle and wrist bands I've ordered to go with the Canadian speedo that Sunny gave me the other day. Here goes my typical pose. Funny, even though red is a color associated to heels, in this particular set up, I feel and look more like a jobber.... but maybe that's because I'm missing my boots. π
I took the shot the very same hour today along with the boot poses and the camera angles just show two completely different person. You gotta admire the contrast of alternate perspective views: I look... uh... flabby from the ground up and I think I look better when the camera is at the same level. But hey, I'm sure some people prefer my flabby look.  I tried here a relaxed pose by just eyeing or winking at the camera. In the end, it becomes the pose that just seems to suggest a threatening stance: "You think you can beat me?"
I was lazy to put up my black background. π΄ It's a lot of setup. Ideally, if I am to place that black background, it stays permanently there rather than having to mount it up and back down every single time I feel like taking pictures of new gear combinations. My weight did go down from 170 lbs to 155-ish. I've decided to try to do the effort when my doctor warned me that I currently have two times the recommended dose of low cholesterol in my blood. I think it's because of all the hamburgers I've garbled down my belly since last year. π I obviously forgot to move away that Styrofoam cylinder on the left. I actually use it to alleviate the pain on my right shoulder & neck. Maybe it's because I try to do one too man racks? π You're supposed to put it rolling down on the floor and put your arm pits on it with your arm stretched out. It does seem to help a bit. I really need to do more yoga... | ||||||
