Self Acceptance Woot

[Flex Luthor]

This may not seem huge to anyone else but I've always been the skinny kid. Always smaller than everyone else and weaker than everyone else. Which seem like a good thing to some people but for me was a nightmare. Well today I came to the realization that a) I now like my body(something that had always eluded me) and I have muscles!

Woot!

[Laney]

Awesome and congrats!

I come for the support, I stay for the torsos

[Wicked Pixie]

Nice job!

[WarriorAmy]

You do have muscles! Awesome job!

Darnit... Laney beat me to it! Woot and Congratulations (Looking great!)

[Flex Luthor]

Thank you all for the kind words. Words cannot express my appreciation.

[RaeVynn]

Looks like you've earned those biceps and abs!

and thank you for sharing them with us!

[ponita]

Um, wow, yeah, great job. So, keep posting pics so my sister rebels and I can keep admiring, err, I mean encouraging you

Seriously, well done!

[Flex Luthor]

@RaeVynn and Ponita, I appreciate the encouragement. Compliments may seem like a small thing but they really do bring a level of validation that I'm actually doing the right thing and the pain and sweat meant something so again I thank you.

[Ghost]

You must feel great knowing you're beating 10 people!

Keep it up! Remember, we'll catch you if you slow down.

[Flex Luthor]

I'm not planning on slowing down anytime soon. I know there were those out there that doubted me and I'm going to show them how wrong they were.

I notice alot of drooling girl posts after that picture, how dare you objectify that young man, I'm sure he doesn't want women chasing him for his body (rolls eyes, yeah fucking right he doesn't)

Godo work bro, make sure you train those legs to go with that upper body you have, tri's are looking nicely impressive

[Ghost]

Dude, I one day hope to have a body like you though.

I mean come on, that's a body everyone wants.

Although I guess that's where the hard yards come in.

[Ocelot]

That's what crazy 1000 pushup workouts will give you. Glad you're in a good place. Enjoy it!

[Flex Luthor]

@Animalben, taking a small break from squats for the push-up challenge but I was at about 300 for 5 reps so I feel you. Squats are part of what built my core.

[Flex Luthor]

Ghost, just saw your comment and I so appreciate it. It's a comment like yours that really motivates me because I want to be that inspiration to people and show them they can do it too. All I did was 1 workout a day, here I am 5 years later, nothing is impossible. Also thank you to Ocelet as well

[Ghost]

How big were your workouts at first?

I'm curious because I think if I learn from you then I'll be one step closer to getting an awesome body like yours!

[Flex Luthor]

I'll give you my top two in order. Consistency is king and focus on the numbers not how you look. By numbers I mean exercise numbers because week to week your appearance won't change much but you should get stronger almost every workout, even if by a little.

True statement. Forget the scales and forget the mirrors. Focus on the numbers and after a few months you can't help but notice the changes.

Well today I came to the realization that a) I now like my body(something that had always eluded me)

I, also, like your body. Good job!

Thanks Kat
