I Used to Train for Aesthetics… Until This Happened

There’s nothing wrong with training for aesthetics.

If that’s what you want, go for it.

For years, my training was all about:

Chasing the perfect physique.
Looking strong—without questioning if I actually was.

Then one day, I realized…
It made me feel like sh*t.

No matter how much I trained… I always found something to "fix."
I was never lean enough. I was never big enough.
It was a never-ending chase.

And when you ask someone if they feel happy… there’s always a slight pause.

That’s when I asked myself:
What if I trained for something that actually makes me feel good?

So I stopped chasing aesthetics and started building fitness:

Strength
Endurance
Power

I stopped obsessing over the mirror.

And finally… my training actually felt like progress.

But most importantly… I was happier.

So when you see big claims like “Lose X lbs in X amount of time”—know that it’s all surface-level.

It might not bring you the lasting joy you think it will.

If aesthetics is your goal, that’s totally fine.

But if you want something that actually lasts, build your fitness.

Because strength, endurance, and capability stay with you for life.
