I still dont really understand. About mindsets, if i see someone who is athletically built like say a triathlete ill think damn they're toned, if i see someone of your physique i think damn hes built like a brick sh*thouse. I dont then compare in my head who has done the most work in the gym. Am I missing your point?
People I know (excluding myself of course) dont 'get' bodybuilders such as yourself - im in no way putting you down - im just saying i dont know anyone who has worked as extensively on themselves as you and others here have, so they dont understand the work you've put in. Its far easier, and common i suspect, to see and athletic build and say wow they've obviously worked hard at what they do and their body shows the results - whereas if you see a huge bodybuilder you might think something like, scary/steroids and meathead in the same sentance. I myself know thats not the case, my girlfriend however freaked out the first time she found out i drank protein shakes haha.
Ive probably said too much but just trying to air an opinion on 'mindsets'. Possibly this is why bodybuilders dont class themselves as toned.
No offence intended if any of it came across wrong!
