    “mogging” is a relatively recent meme representing a situation where one person next to others has radically better looks in some way or another, supposedly creating a subconscious atmosphere of their superiority. Typical examples are photos of bodybuilders next to regular people.


  • I also run a lot of proprietary stuff like Discord or Instagram due to peer pressure but I let it slide and put my hopes on Android sandboxing the apps and GrapheneOS tweaks. In my opinion, making sure that proprietary app can’t reliably access your data and never giving it anything sensitive yourself is a decent risk model.

    The only proprietary software I use and somewhat trust is Obdisian. Honestly, it’s just excellent and I can’t see myself moving away from it anytime soon.

    My general advice is to never set yourself visual goals and expectations. Social media has completely distorted the image of natural lifter by promoting top 1% responders and steroid abusers.

    Accept the fact that you won’t see a lot of gains until 2-3 years into consistent lifting unless you’re genetically gifted. Focus on technique, nutrition and recovery and find a good rhythm that allows you to put gym into a background routine like brushing your teeth and your body will eventually reward you.

    Setting yourself standards and expectations without knowing your genetic growth potential is a slippery slope that almost always results in misery and disappointment. Don’t do it. Keep lifting.
