Is Social media setting unrealistic beauty standards?
Here’s some context. I have been hitting the gym on and off for like a year now. My body weight is 65kgs. I can bench press 60 kgs, can deadlift 120kgs. I can jog 5kms in roughly 30 mins. I am 21 years old. Though I know these are decent numbers from a health perspective, I feel inferior when looking at people lift significantly more on social media. I feel like my body is not at all in a good shape. I see people posting insane transformations in 3 or 6 months, and here I am stagnant with my progress inspite of hitting the gym for a year now. Do anyone of you guys feel the same way? On top of this, when I share my progress with friends who don’t know much about fitness, they ain’t impressed at all. They see influencers lifting insane numbers and consider that too be the norm. FYI I don’t take any supplements, hence hitting my protein target has been pretty much not possible most days.

Be Mindful of Gym & Diet.
Gen Z and Millennials are too harsh on themselves nowadays. Like literally trying to get 0 figure and following keto n protein diet after getting motivation from some reels of so called fitness influencers! Covid vaccine impact is still under scan and people are doing so without any supervision. Few days back I replied to a Q on gv, X was asking like should I cut my calories from 2500 to 600 just to reduce weight. Please be mindful of what u do to ur body and mind. Om shanti to the departed soul.
