Usually, when I post progress pics online, shirtless photos of me, to try and get feedback on my progress, I would usually get a few responses, but not a lot. I would even get a few thumbs up on the pics but not many people will tell me, “good work so far”, or, “you’re looking great, keep it up”.

When other people post their progress pics in facebook, they would get a lot more responses and more feedback than I do.

I think I’m just figuring things out, that when you don’t get enough responses, no matter how big & muscular and fit you get, you’re not pretty looking enough. In other words, I don’t look like the sexy bad boy you see in the magazines. If I was good looking and pretty enough, maybe I would get a lot of responses then, but to be honest, I don’t care to be that perfect looking muscle guy that the women drool over. I think all that male model stuff is silly and so fake to me, anyway.

I want to look natural, therefor, it’s why it’s called natural bodybuilding ’cause you’re not going to look perfect but you’re still muscular. People don’t post these progress pics for attention or ego. Many of us get accused of admiring ourselves when we post ’em.

The internet is a good opportunity to prove people that you’re really into this, plus, the shirtless progress pics is a good motivational tool to get other people interested in bodybuilding. That’s why bodybuilders do it. They just want to show people how they are progressing ’cause they can’t tell their own physique and can’t tell how they look. So they let other people tell them.

So I’m not worried about not getting enough feedback on my pics. I know I’m not the best looking guy in the world, and I’m proud of it. When you don’t get many people replying to your pics, they might be a little jealous of you and they want to be like you. Which is good. You want to make people jealous,  part of a motivational thing. That’s what makes me want to keep me going.
