A Cure for SFS (Skinny Forearm Syndrome)

When I started off my fitness journey, I weighed a mere 120 pounds whilst standing at 6 feet tall. In regards to my health, I was dangerously lanky, and in terms of my physical abilities, they were non-existent. When I finally started working out regularly, I started paying attention to how others lost & gained weight.

One thing I quickly noticed; some people seem to gain muscle & size with every rep & bite of food. And you bet I used to get jealous. At the time, it felt like I was working harder and still getting fewer results. This type of thinking eventually led to harmful drive-killing practices like negative self-talk & the doubting of my potential.

Comparing yourself to others in the gym or any area of fitness is one of the most self-defeating perspectives you can have.

However, there is one positive thing that came from the initial comparisons. It made me look at how I trained from a critical point of view. Was I only working hard? Or was I working hard and smart? They taught me that not everyone is the same & that if I wanted to fix my ‘problem areas,’ I had to train in the way that was optimized best for me.
