Just a progress shot

5/16 Edited to

... Read moreSharing progress shots has become an increasingly popular way for creators and artists to document their journey from start to finish. From painting and drawing to crafting and digital projects, these images capture each stage of development and provide valuable insights into the creative process. Personally, I've found that taking progress photos helps me stay motivated and see how much I’ve accomplished over time—even when the end result still feels far away. Sometimes, sharing these updates with friends or a creative community invites constructive feedback and encouragement that can refine the project or boost morale. Beyond motivation, progress shots serve as a visual journal, allowing you to look back and analyze your methods and decisions. Over time, this collection of images can reveal patterns, improvements, and areas for growth that might have been overlooked otherwise. Many artists also find that progress photos are a great tool for content creation on social media, storytelling, or building an audience interested not just in the final outcome but the artistic journey. It brings an authentic, relatable aspect to your work that resonates with many. Overall, capturing and sharing snapshots of your progress encourages patience and presence in the process. It reminds us that creativity unfolds step by step and fosters a deeper appreciation for the hard work behind every finished piece or project.

Yes, there are rep ranges that are better for different goals/ results… but all of them will eventually STOP working when you use it for too long. Your body will adapt and you will eventually hit a PLATEAU in your progress. On average it takes our bodies 4-6 weeks to fully adapt to a new stim
