Anyone get unmotivated when they see pros lifting online? (srs)

Seeing juliux maddox bench almost 800, there's so many random lifters nowadays that can deadlift 800 or 900+ all available on instagram or youtube. Just the other day there was a video of some guy who I never even heard of posting a video of a deadlift just over 1000lbs

What's the point of even lifting when there's so many guys infinitely stronger than you? Everything I've done lifting wise is absolutely pathetic compared to these monsters.

There's a reason the saying "comparison is the thief of joy" exists. I gotta stop watching other people's content

I’ve never had that problem, I get pumped to train when I see bodybuilding videos. It inspires me.

Most of those guys are on tons of juice, and/or were built perfectly for those lifts. Also, a lot of them spend their entire free time focusing on those specific lifts.

You don't realize how unhealthy it is to do what they are doing. Look at Larry Wheels nowadays. Dude looks awful. Horrible bacne, his head has like cystic acne all over it, and he bleeds from his head and chest when he pushes a heavy lift.

Is what they are doing badass? Yes. I love watching it too. But you have to remove yourself from that because at a certain point they are doing things that you aren't, which can effect you horribly in a lot of ways.
