ITT: Think of your OG physique goal - have you attained/surpassed it?

Think about a time either just before you started lifting or as you just began lifting. We all had a certain image in mind or physique goal we were aiming towards. What was yours? After all these years, have you attained this goal or even surpassed it? If not, why might that be? Was it unrealistic to begin with? Delusional? Do you now know better?

I distinctly remember seeing these guys and thinking this was a physique I'd love to achieve some day. I'll be honest, I didn't think it would be possible which made me feel a bit helpless. I'm happy to report that, after 10+ years of consistency, sacrifice, and dedication, I definitely think I've surpassed these initial physique goals. That's a tremendously empowering feeling given that the majority of people absolutely do not feel in control of their own body composition or overall physique.





I now don't think these dudes look like they even lift. Curious to see what others were originally aiming for.

CLIFFS:
Pre-lifting, what was your physique goal?
Have you attained or surpassed this goal?

I've definitely surpassed anything I thought I was capable of. Now I want to hold onto it as long as I can.

Feels good to likely be the strongest guy your age whenever you step into a room.

What was my goal physique? Just a buff version of me. I never had an athlete or actor to use as inspiration. I knew from the beginning that I could only compare me to me. Everybody's genetics are different. Comparison only matters for bodybuilders, and I'm just some guy that likes to lift and be vain.

This was 100% my other one, although it wasn't the original. Even though I think I have more mass than Reynolds now, that guy had a phenomenal physique at this time. Terrific genetics.

I never had a goal.


I am a bit surprised I stayed in shape this long. Thought I'd be wealthy enough to get fat by now.

Dude's got some of the greatest lifting genes and symmetry I've ever seen. I remember thinking that was the ideal lifting physique as well, although it never was a direct goal of mine because, even then, I knew it wasn't possible naturally.

You look great in your photo, by the way. If you cut a bit you'd look pretty close in decent lighting. This is what I look like now myself:

Outside of the misc, a lot of people still think that is peak.

Anyway OP, I was on a decline years before making this account, and really only lifted once in a while because it felt good. No serious, regular training. I’m trying to get back to me in the mid 2000s up to maybe 2011, and my goal was just to be noticeably buff in a shirt and lean enough for some abs. I didn’t have a person in mind while I did it.

For sure. Standards are pretty low overall. I'm actually pretty shocked in terms of what I thought were peak physiques back before I started lifting and pursuing this whole wonderful lifestyle.

This was the exact image that struck me in 2009 to believe that I was capable to attain the body I want, and gave me an ideal to strive for. Nothing crazy bulky or shredded, but an every-man that is obviously leaps and bounds ahead of the general population.

I think that at my absolute prime I surpassed this photo.
