I believe him , I felt the same way through my training life. I never took pictures because I was always hard on my self thinking I could do way better. I wish I had a picture of myself at 24 when I was ripped. I have so few pictures of my self when I was in my early 40's looking good. I was just so critical and hard on my self thinking wait till you really get it together. Now closing in on 60 I will never regain what I had and I wish at least I had some pictures. I have two pictures of me in decent shape with my shirt off for my whole life of training.
I see steroid junkies load up on pictures on cycle and they show people the pictures when they are off cycle looking like crap. One fat smooth guy was showing me a picture of him self all buffed out and I told him I don't need the picture you're right in front of me. He put his treasured picture back in his wallet and quickly changed topics.
When you e been a gym for a few decades...you tend to noticed a few things. In a 60 minutes workout, you probably have 30 minutes of idol time. It's good to be aware of others in life. Why would I care, because I care about lifting in general. The current majority of tools who train are a disgrace to lifting. Attention whoring on Instagram, drug reliant, iPhone fingering, multiple training partners, pussy footing their routines...half reppers...and so on. It's the majority...that's the problem. One delusional bunch.
Very little heart in today's gyms.
Being secure and aware have nothing to do with each other. You know how many jokers I've seen in my gym go from a piss poor physique, after training for a few years, to bloated wannabes? Most can't do jack without drugs, but at least train hard if you take them. It's become the biggest beta bitch activity one can partake in these days. Drug assisted pussy liftin. Usually, juice is the consolation prize for when you fail. I've seen it at least a half dozen times.
