Put performance first, your physique will follow🗣
I used to struggle quite a bit with body dysmorphia a lot when I first competed in bodybuilding. I think a lot of you in the fitness community can relate to feeling like you’re defined by your physique. And in a lot of ways I suppose we are.
However, Focusing on gym performance, more specifically powerlifting had a major hand in helping me get more of a handle on this.
By focusing on gym performance, I longer defined myself by my looks. Instead, I turned my focus on how to become a total physical specimen, and that mindset is what I carry with me today.
Ironically enough, my physique has improved tremendously as a result.
If you’re focusing on getting stronger, improving weaknesses, learning better movement, and fueling your body to perform, rather than basing your success solely on your appearance, your whole experience/mindset involving fitness will likely be a whole lot better.
And as a bonus you’ll become the best you possible!
