Just to be brutally correct. Sometimes I do it when I'm alone. It's hard to tell how much you've grown just from the fact you see your body every day. But if somebody else sees you once in 6 months, they would see a tremendous difference. What do you think @TAYLORKEETON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAYLORKEETON 786 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I'm actually a personal trainer at Workout Anytime in Leeds. I'll be at Athens State next year for Special Ed/Coaching. A lot of gym rats get such a bad reputation of being douche bags, conceited, or as some of you said "tools." You all know the saying, one person can ruin it for everybody. Well guys, I've met men with beards & tattos all over the body nicer to people than the man wearing a suit next to you in Sunday school class. As far as the SWOLFIES go...who cares what people think man? If you wanna flex up & take a picture of yourself, by God do it. You've worked your a$$ off to get to the point where you're able to actually wanna take a "swolfie" so why not. Do what makes you happy. I used to have such a bad self-esteem many years ago before the gym, so it feels good to just have the confidence now to want to take a pic like that. Screw the gym sterotypes.

My job at the gym requires to post 2 pics a week on some type of social network to basically market the gym & yourself as a trainer. What's wrong with posting a flex pic on social media?

I don't sweat it. I very seldom put workout photos on my twitter or facebook but if I did, it wouldn't be a big deal. There is a difference between pride derived from achievement and narcissistic entitlement. The social media I use for working out is bodyspace by bodybuilding.com. It stores my progress photos, my workout programs, useful workout techniques. and the bodybuilding store. And the community- feed has a lot of girls with yoga pants. JS.

Tiger Refuge 6,660 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The pics I do chuckle at a bit are the "slip a flex in" in a normal, non-gym related pic. I have a few of those on my social media. It's all good though. To each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger88 934 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I would do some flex poses and paste them all over social media, but I donxt want to scare the holy bejeezus out of everyone out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFAN78 3,890 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 No selfies for me. When my waist gets smaller and my shirt size larger, I get it. But to each his own. Knock yourself out. And don't stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
