Normie standards?

Don't worry OP! You are just starting to develop the extreme body dysmorphia we all developed and live with day to day. You might never like the way you look and the harder you try to look a particular way the more you will notice that you don't look that particular way. It isn't that your body isn't changing, and it isn't that other people wont notice the change and complement you on it. It is that your expectations for yourself will change as quickly as your body/lifts change. This will create a perpetual feeling that people may be messing with you.

Fun fact: If you have a bad week at the gym and/or with your diet and you aren't feeling all that hot, but you get complemented all the same you might actually get offended. It's happened to me, and I doubt I'm the only one. Anyways, try not to let it get the best of you. And keep at it my friend.

Yup I'll get memed for this but I'm 6'0 but feel short as fuck even though people tell me I'm tall. Ive come to realize I'm tall enough for normies, but not for /fit/. The day you start lifting is the day youre forever small.

>>38576298
Jesus Christ... This is extremely accurate of what I feel. Holy shot thank you for reassuring me that I'm not alone in feeling this way.

>>38576298
Damn, i honestly thought that body dysmorphia was just a meme, but holy fuck was i wrong...

You are your harshest critic, and that is just how it should be.

Also, people have low standards
for instance, people think I'M swole.

>>38576211

Your body is average gym goer at most. Not even a gym rat

Ahaha, those people can't be serious. Probably still look dyel in a loose t-shirt and look fat in a tight one because you obviously have never heard of cutting.

>You are your harshest critic
Nope, it's actually /fit/.

When normies compliment my physique I dont really count it as a compliment because they are all tiny worms 2bh

Mfw people call me "muscley rob". I look like someone took a picture of a normal person and just dragged the corner of it in picture to make it bigger.

Muscley? Yeah, right.

>not 1/2/3/4
>not including The Press, king of lifts

>>38576211
Yeah, normie standards are pretty average to low. I have been lifting for one year now and although I look dyel in some shirts people still tell me im ripped lmao.

>>38576211
of all the things that never happened, this one never happene the most

>>38578723
Its the press™ my good sir, and i did not include it since anyone who trains it even occasionally and has 2/3/4 can press 1pl8.

You don't even know the difference between an insertion and an origin, I'd wager

>>38580505
I insert my penis in your origin.
