Its great to look like a normal guy. Most buff dudes you see in TV/movies have had plastic surgery, steroids, employ intense personal trainers, or all of the above. You look great, keep up the gym routine!

Also I've heard they're usually lit from above when on camera, emphasizing muscle definition.

I think this is why I can see my abs when I look down but they don't exist in pictures from the front. Either way I'm down like 70lbs and it's not like I'm ripping my shirt off in public on the regular. My wife is like the only one who ever sees me shirtless and she appreciates my weightloss so that's what matters most to me.

Good for you, man! Congratulations on your progress.

Dim top lit gym shower reflections are the biggest confidence booster, I swear
