With frustrations mounting in quarantine and no immediate outlet for that energy, a lot more people have been getting thirsty on main. But because I'm proud of the progress I've made (and also because, let's face it, I enjoy attention), I have left that kind of self-doubt behind, even if I still don't look like most of the other guys I know posting gym updates.Īnd I'm not the only one.

While I've always loved a selfie, in the past my pictures would be pretty tame, mainly because I didn't consider myself 'fit' enough to warrant showing off my body. As I began to work out more, lose weight, and develop something resembling abs during lockdown, the number of shirtless pictures on my Instagram feed went up. My relationship with my body has changed a lot over the last year.
