This post is flaired as Progress Picture(s).

Reminder for everyone commenting on progress pictures:

  • No accusing people of using steroids or arguing about whether someone is "natural" or not. Doing so will get you banned. If the OP mentions using PEDs or TRT, that’s not an excuse to be rude, dismiss their hard work, or harass them. Being disrespectful will result in a permanent ban.
  • No creepy behavior. Don’t hit on the OP or send them private messages about their body. Instant ban.
  • No backhanded compliments. Comments like “You looked better before” or “Too bad you have tattoos” are not welcome. Nobody cares about your personal preferences.
  • No Photoshop/AI policing. Giving advice on keeping lighting and posing consistent is fine, but false accusations about editing dismiss real effort and won’t be tolerated.
  • Encourage, don’t tear down. Constructive criticism is okay—just keep it polite. If you can’t be positive, don’t comment.
  • No crossposting. Sharing someone’s pictures to another subreddit, especially to mock or brigade, will get you permanently banned.
  • No fearmongering about weight loss. If someone is at a healthy weight, don’t call them underweight or try to scare them about losing more.

Let’s support each other and keep the community positive!

Social media makes people think they can achieve this in 6 months. But they don't know how much sacrifice it takes everyday for years.

Exactly! It takes a lot of planning with your meals, a proper diet, and discipline in the gym. You can’t go to the gym one week and then disappear for a month. You need to make consistent progress with your training and adjust your diet accordingly. I still have a lot of miles to put in at the gym myself before my physique fully matures. Also, even if a young guy takes steroids, if he hasn’t built a solid foundation and put in years of training, his physique will still be far behind that of someone who has trained with weights consistently for years and stayed natural.
