Why Don't I Look Like My Goal Physique Yet?

As an example of this, takeHugh JackmanversusChris Hemsworth(Thor vs. Wolverineif only).

Both are evidently athletic, but Jackman has proportionately wider hips, while Hemsworth has broader shoulders.

Some people have higher insertions, others lower.

How long they are was determined at birth.

You only control how big they grow.

Finally, theres fat distribution.

But on a deeper level, it also stores this fat in different ways.

The main classifications aresubcutaneousfat (under the skin), andvisceralfat (around your organs).

Subcutaneous fat is the one youre most likely to notice, simply because its more visible.

Its what contributes to flabby arms and thighs, bigger butts, cellulite, and man boobs.

You only control how much fat you store in total.

Its just important to understand that its an ideal, not a mold you oughta fit into perfectly.

But too often, people dont remember that.

Its also harmful if you misunderstand what that goal represents.

Its easy to be unhappy with your body.

Ultimately, thats what usually provides the impetus for a lifestyle change.

Superficial change wont compensate for emotional deficiency.

Use your goal body as inspiration to stick with your efforts, instead of expecting to match it exactly.

And if you might go without the visual motivation, do.

The best approach is to aim forthe best version of yourself.
