Most people think getting leaner is always better… but that's not true.
In this episode, the guys break down why staying ultra-lean year-round can actually make you look worse, feel worse, and hurt your long-term health.
From unrealistic body fat expectations to the pressure created by social media and fitness culture, they explain why the "ideal physique" is often misunderstood—and what actually looks better in real life.
If you've been chasing lower body fat thinking it's the answer… this might completely change your perspective.
