STOP comparing yourself to social media!

So this is just a reminder to stop comparing yourself to social media. I took this video 3 years ago on December 8th 2020, when I had been working out for just 1 year and 8 months. And you might be thinking to yourself, wait this dude looks like this after not even 2 years of training. There’s no way. Well, what if I told you in that video, posing with perfect lighting, and a full upper body pump, I was only 157 pounds. At roughly 5 foot 9, that’s not really that heavy, especially considering the fact I am now 205 pounds, and look like this. But wait, that’s still posing under really good lighting, in perfect conditions, so take that away and I actually look like this. You see, I don’t have any crazy veins, I don’t have massive bulging shoulders, I don’t have a tiny waist, my butt probably is a little bit too big, and my posture isn’t the best, yes of course I still look pretty good, and I would hope so after nearly 5 years of consistent dieting and training, but if I were to just simply compare this physique to my physique 3 years ago, it just wouldn’t make any sense, right. Why would I compare what I look like walking around everyday in normal lighting, with a bit more fat than usual, to someone who’s on the peak of their cut, standing under god’s divine radiance itself, after a 2 hour arm session with enough blood in their upper body to fill a swimming pool. In reality, in December 2020, I actually looked like this, where if I were to put a long sleeve shirt on, it wouldn’t even look like I lifted. Moral of the story, don’t compare yourself to people you see online, because not even they look like that. And thankfully, life is more than just having a good physique and going to the gym, at the end of the day it does not matter how big you are, or how lean you are, or how wide your shoulders are, so don’t stress about it, because the only one who really notices is you.

Dude, I want to send a thank you for what you do. Your channel has helped me so much with the my weight lifting journey. I really appreciate how you go into detail about every workout and how to build muscle. Theres people out there who pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for weight training knowledge and help. All I do is simply watch a video for free and I am where I want to be 💪🏼 thanx to you! 🙏🏻 keep doing what your doing man!

Thanks bro. I work a lot but taking a step back because of college. Thankfully I have a shit ton of scholarships. So I decided to get a personal trainer. And while that has bolstered me into an athletic build I’m no way close to you social influencers in terms of physique. But I will say that with meal prepping and going to the gym consistently I’m better than I’ve ever been :) Still you’re such an inspiration to me man !!!

Seeing the legs in the bulked up segment really was an eyeopener because even though I know not to comparison, it truly is hard not to. I’ve been beating myself up lately cause everyone I see online just has these massive horse quads and mine dont even look half that good despite how much I work em

@TimeattackGD 6 ай бұрын

i mean honestly there is no reason to train legs that hard lol. Runners and those who basically have to use their legs to the max in a natural settings have legs which bodybuilders would consider sticks. the human body just doesnt have any good use for big legs ever

@@BrofUJu i know, track cyclists do tho, so? in 99% of sports having big legs is an absolute waste. and if youre going to the gym without doing any other sports, chances are you will never get anything ever out having big legs apart from them looking big (then again i guess this is true for a majority of people who go the gym for any muscle group lol). but yea, 99% of athletes will never have big legs, despite having a shredded lean physique. reason is simply that bigs legs arent very useful for most things that the human body does lol, in most cases it will be a hinderance if anythng

I myself recently completed 1st of year of my lifting and the progress is not something people yank about so much that there are so many things and everything has to be perfect to fully build the body. My Gym trainer even said BS like "In one year, Body Maximises" 💀 which is a crazy stupid shit. This video is very useful for the first time gym goers who'd fall for 6 days a week training, 3 hours a session and Gigabulk and trying to do every single exercise possible to grow the Arms & Delts... It is a great Realisation video. Carry On! ✅

To be honest 71kg that lean after 1 Year is mind boggling and at 5 ,9 height . You do have great genetics . I look like this at 63 kg after 3 years of lifting from 57kg to 63kg at height 5,8 .And after spending enough time gym everyone kind of realises their potential , you just know it . So when you have it , you will automatically stand out from the rest without even trying even if the other are also doing the same thing.
