Progress Pics Help or Hurt Your Head?

Post by JRsilva09 »

Some weeks pics motivate me, other weeks they mess with my head. Do you guys take them regularly or avoid them?

I take them every 2 weeks. Same lighting, same pose. Keeps it objective.

Some days progress pics gas me up, other days I feel like I look worse. Head games are real.

If you’re checking daily, it’ll mess with you. Weekly or bi-weekly is the move.

Yeah I think I’ve been looking too often. Hard not to zoom in on every little thing and overthink it.

I avoid mirrors during a cut except for progress shots. Otherwise I start nitpicking everything.

Pics help long term. When you compare 3–4 months apart, that’s when you really see it.

Angles and lighting can straight up lie to you. One bad photo can ruin your whole mood if you let it.

That’s facts. I’ll probably stick to every couple weeks and stop obsessing over small changes. Big picture matters more than one random flat day. Appreciate the input boys. 💪
