    Thank you for taking the time to write this. It’s a really good and valuable comment.

    I think what most people don’t realise is that what’s a good physique for one person isn’t necessarily a good physique for another. That’s the gift and the curse of genetics for you. But a physique is ultimately carved out of discipline and consistency.

    I look at where I am now and I’m instantly thinking about where I want to be, but given a moment to take stock and I only dreamed of getting to this point. In fact my first world problems are that my friends lack the maturity to celebrate with me.

    Anecdotally, I actually think that’s why it’s important to have friends around your fitness, so they can ground you, rather than trying to ground yourself based on influencers.

      Good point, a good physique is a subjective term.

      Yes if any comparison is going to be done. Then it should only be done against past self.
      Similarly looking back to before i started and the difference is massive, went from pretty much what the videos average said, to on bar with the regulars in the gym, one step below the absolutely massive guys and personal coaches who have nearly 15+ years of training under their belt and one has even done bodybuilding competitions.

      The grounding amongst friends is interesting point. Have to try that one out.
