Here’s why I don’t post pics (aside from the fact that I’m super private and tatted from neck to calves), my outlook is that it doesn’t matter. If what YOU see in the mirror and the way YOU feel makes you happy, then you are doing everything right. If I like my 165lb body when I look at it, have good sex drive, feel energetic and happy, my doctor is happy.... and if you are, let’s say 260lbs, great sex drive, energetic, happy, your doctor is happy...... then, aren’t we BOTH correct?
Look guys. In my teens I was about 120lbs, with a little pot belly. First time I tried squatting 95lbs, I fell straight to the floor. Embarrassing. Now I’m nearing 40, I’m 171.6lbs (today, literally right now), I’m not ripped, but I can always see my abs, and I can squat 405 for a couple reps.
I get that I’m not bodybuilder huge, I get that there are guys here squatting 700lbs for reps. I get it, and I think it’s awesome, but I’m happy with where I’m at and what Ive done.
I had some gut issues that forced me to really change how I eat. In three years I haven’t lost anything. I’m not saying I never will, who knows, maybe this year I’ll finally shrink back down to 120? Maybe I’m taking 20 years off my lifespan? Maybe if YOU eat the way I eat you‘ll lose all your muscle in three months. Maybe? I don’t know, I’m just sharing what I’ve experienced.
Again, I always dislike posting this, because a few people always get super triggered that something out there doesn’t fit into their puzzle of how a certain aspect of life is supposed to work, BUT, I didn’t start this thread, I didn’t call anyone out, I spoke about MY experiences.
