One of the first things we do on this website is to look at other member’s pics may it be for giving constructive criticism ,encouragement and support or words of admiration and not least self motivation.And we express them by making a comment(s)plus a number rating.

      However there are differing views as to how we should go about doing it (rating).Some people would reserve a 10 only for perfect physiques while others would give a 9 or 10 to displaying members with less-than-ideal,and often grossly out of shape,physiques as a way to show encouragement and support.This has created the so-called double standard which annoys voters from both camps and probably bewilders a passer-by.Those who vote on the purely physical aspects say the other camp hands out 10s like lollies….and they have a point.But the other camp argues too what would happen to their psyche if many beginners were given 1,2 or 3 in spite of their initial determination to succeed and being brave enough to post a "before" pic. 

          Until this rather underdiscussed issue of pic rating is resolved doubts will remain as to the validity of the whole system.
