You look great.

Our issue is we look at @Dream_catcher and think that’s how we are all supposed to look, lol. (Not just singling one member on here, there is a chunk of you who are really well built, Mr. Catcher is just our newest Pro, lol)

Shit our brains are twisted thinking that we look bad unless we look like him.

What I try to do now is compare myself to the average guy, and not even ones my own age, at 55 (my age) not having a gut makes you a god, lol.
I still strive for more, but you gotta give yourself an ego boost once in a while.

Be proud, show it off. No point in doing all that work without anyone seeing it.

Plus you are the look that 90% of woman think is best.

Thanks @Sorbate, it means a lot coming from you. I will say it's a bit intimidating, posting my pics alongside big boys like @Dream_catcher, @BanditNOLIMIT, @Slartibartfast and @Brbpuppy. Obviously somebody my size is gonna feel small amongst such company. Of course I got nothing but positivity and encouragement in return, though.

I was at Costco today after reading your reply, and took a good look around at the other middle aged dudes (I'm 48). You know what? I am doing pretty good when compared to the general population vs the stage-ready bros on the forum.

Like @Dream_catcher said, I'll just stay consistent and keep grinding out those incremental gains, see where it takes me.

That’s awesome! Be proud of your progress keep moving forward one step at a time.

There’s always a bigger fish but as long as you’re improving that’s all that matters. In 3 months time… a year. You’ll look back and be proud of what you’ve accomplished. It’s a great feeling and I hope you keep on pushing

I suffer from imposter syndrome when it comes to this shit, lol. It's been almost 5 years now since I started, and because of that late start at 51, I'm still not used to it and I still get a fair bit of body dysmorphia, but if you ever want to "re-set" your expectations or view of yourself, do what you just did: Go grocery shopping. That will show you what your "average" person looks like.

You deserve to be proud of your accomplishments. Great work.

You might have to shave off those boob merkins though to see your pecs, you look like you're nursing a pair of ferrets.

Ahaha yeah, some manscaping is definitely in my future
