Up till now, I have kept all of my physical progress pictures on Facebook to motivate folks into some form of exercise. I get the feeling though that I have gone past the point of relatability. Somebody told me that my bar is too high. I might agree except that I would remove the word "too" because if I could meet this standard, then I truly believe anyone can. It is only a matter of how far they are will to push and for some reason, people have been drawn into lulls of an unhealthy contentment. I believe in contentment so long as what one is content with meets one's value. Not just in the physical realm but in everything else. More and more, it seems people are settling for shit that doesn't take work and when someone does go beyond their comfort zone, they are applauded as though they have done something grand when that should be the "norm". It seems that people look at me as though I'm some sort of monster and I know guys out there bigger and more defined. I guess the only difference between them and me is that I stay looking this way or better year round as opposed to getting lean just for a contest.
I put these up to motivate and also as a way to gauge my progress since I delete them from my system. Posting them is a good way to see progress. I won't be doing this as much here since this is more a blog for writing but one thing I feel must be clear. I don't do this to impress or to intimidate. My goal in physical prowess has less to do with appearance and way more to do with molding my outer man to match my inner man in strength, beauty and longevity. I seek wholeness my people. A balance of the spirit, soul and body.
These were taken today (9/16/2016) and I am currently weighing in at 215 lbs
My goal is body recomposition which is the simultaneous gain of muscle while losing fat. In this case the scale does not change but your appearance does. Lose a pound of fat and gain a pound of muscle means zero loss on the scale but a heavy gain in appearance and strength.
