The more I workout and the bigger I get, the more other folks look small and out of shape to me. Maybe it is human nature, but I compare myself with guys who are jacked and I work towards looking like them. The bigger I get the bigger the fellows I compare myself to. What is abnormal becomes the norm overtime.
A few years back, I weighed around 185-190 lbs. I was in good shape but not huge at all. I am 5'10 1/2" tall. I am also 66 years old. Since retiring, I hit the gym six days a week for about an hour or so of lifting and then about 30 minutes of cardio. Today, I weigh 217 lbs. My waist is still 34", but my arms are about an 1 1/2" larger than they were and my quads are a bit bigger too. My neck is bigger. What is weird is that I wear the same clothes and they aren't any tighter....well except my dress shirts no longer button up at the neck and they look like I stole them from some kid. LOL. Still, when I look in the mirror or when I compare myself to someone who I think looks good, I see myself as being small. Is this body dysmorphic disorder?
The point is that how we look is relative to the environment we create for ourselves. And sometime before I croak, I want to look like a fucking superhero! Time to go to the gym and exercise more than my fingers.
