Do you compare your physique to others? Do you wish you were as muscular or as ripped as someone else?

If so, don’t worry. You’re not alone. We’re all guilty of it.

There were times when I wish my chest and calves were as big as a fellow bro. Sometimes I would really let it get to me. I’d catch myself wondering why they were able to grow so big and so fast, when I’ve had to fight tooth and nail for every ounce of gains.

Sometimes, I’d become inspired by a fellow Physique Artist’s progress. Their success would fuel my fire and I’d step up my game BIG TIME! But more times than I’d like to admit I would experience feelings of jealousy, frustration, and anger.

This week I came across two posts on social media in regards to the topic of comparing ourselves to others.

They provided me with some food for thought, causing me to pause and reflect on my own transformation journey… Where I’ve been, where I am, and where I am heading.

I began to ponder my own unique greatness and the unique mark I want to make on this world. My legacy.

The first post I came across was from my buddy Tom Venuto. He shared an image, which was an excerpt from the goal setting chapter of his book, Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle…

Those words jumped off the page at me. The message resonated deep within me.

It had me thinking about how I’ve looked at my co-host of the Modern Musclehead Podcast, Bryan Krahn who’s got 40-50 pounds on me and I may have wished that my calves and rear delts were as big as his.

But after training with him, I was shocked to hear that he wished his shoulders and arms were bigger.

Even the big 280 pound BEASTS out there are comparing themselves to each other, wishing they were bigger.

What I’ve realized now more than ever, is that about Why You Shouldn’t Compare Yourself To Others and How To Avoid It
