 Next question is from C. Greenwood 32. How do you program a balance between performance and aesthetics? You know what's funny? We get a question like this. Every week. Every single week, right? Yeah. Okay, here's the thing. For most people, what I'm going to say is, for the average person, focus on performance. And here's why. Focusing on performance is going to give you a great deal of aesthetics. And performance is more of an objective measure. So you either get stronger or you don't. You either gain more stamina or you don't. Aesthetics, like define aesthetics. Define what looks good. It can be very challenging. Very subjective. Very subjective. And people really mess with their own heads. Someone may lose weight on the scale, but lose a lot of muscle. But because they're smaller, they're happy. No, no, no. I did a good job. I lost weight. Not caring about the fact that maybe they lost a lot of muscle because they're so aesthetically driven. In my experience, again, this is the average client. People who are more performance driven to end up with a greater deal of performance and aesthetics than people who are only aesthetics driven. Okay. Now there's a caveat here. I think as you become more advanced, you've been training for a while, you're not going to see regular gains and performance. I'm not going to, I don't expect to see regular gains and performance anymore with myself. I've been training for so long. If I gained five pounds on a lift, that's like a big deal, right? It's not like it was when I first started working out. Now I can focus more on aesthetics. I have a good performance base. I have a kind of healthy relationship with exercise. But, you know, the way I would train clients for most of my, well, I'd say for that back half of my career when I got really good at it was I would have them focus on performance and the aesthetics almost always followed. Yeah. If you start with that as the foundation, it's just a healthier mindset that's, you know, more sustainable. And I don't, I don't think that it's a bad thing to focus on aesthetics. And I think that, you know, that's something that can take, you can, you can then go from your, your hyper focus of performance and then build upon that to now enhance areas of your body that you want to single out. And there's a way that's different to train for that. And it's beneficial to your body to step out of, you know, the performance heavy initiative. But the reverse of that to me is just, it's a lot, it's a lot more challenging when the driving force is just how you look. Because again, the psychology of that is a lot harder to step away from. Why we get this question so often is because there's more than one way to skin a cat. I think that there's, there's more than one way to approach this, you know, and a lot of that has to depend on what is more of a priority to you or maybe where you're currently at right now or maybe what you've done in the past. Like there's a lot of different factors that may change exactly what the programming looks, but we, for people that want this and don't know, we created a bundle for this. We have a sexy athlete bundle and that's, and basically what it is is the, it's the combining of maps, performance and maps aesthetic together. So we've, we've taken a lot of the principles from maps aesthetic, we've taken a lot of the principles from maps performance and then we've put them together to show you how we would blend the two of them. But it doesn't mean it's the only way to go about that and it doesn't necessarily mean it's perfect for every single person, but to give you a really good idea of what programming would look like for somebody who wants to be athletic, but then also cares about how they look. I mean, that's how I would approach it. Yeah, it's just, I, you know, I know when I would, I'm sure you guys experienced this too when I would train clients, you know, the average person works out because of aesthetics. Like the average person doesn't think to themselves I'm going to squat 300 pounds or I'm going to, you know, have this particular type of performance. They think I want to round her butt. I want to be leaner and what I would do often is I would, for example, I have a female client that wants to, you know, build her butt and sculpt her legs and, you know, her back and I would say, okay, here's what we're going to do. I want you to be able to squat 150 pounds for reps. I want you to be able to deadlift, you know, a couple reps with over 180 pounds and I want you to be able to hip thrust this much weight. Let's just focus on those and then let's see what happens and sure enough they would take their mind off of their aesthetics. They'd focus on the goals that I gave them and then they would hit those goals or in the pursuit of those goals, they would gain the aesthetics. Same thing with guys, you know, some guy would hire me and say, I want a bigger chest. I want bigger shoulders, a bigger back. I want more muscular. I'd say, okay, here's what we're going to focus on. I want you to get to this bench press, this overhead press, this deadlift, this row. Don't focus on your looks and let's just see what happens. And again, sure enough because their strength went up and they focused on performance, they would gain the aesthetics. Now, of course, at some point, like I said earlier, then it makes sense to focus on aesthetics because you're not going to always gain strength or performance linearly. But for most people, if you go to the gym and you haven't been working out for more than three or four years consistently, you go to the gym and all you're focused on is can I move better? Am I getting stronger? Can I connect to the exercises better? You're going to look better. Think about it this way, if you were fit, strong, and mobile in your performance, how would your body look? Now imagine if all you cared about were your looks. You didn't care about performance. There's a lot of mistakes you can make. There's so many different mistakes you can make. There's so many subjective errors that we tend to have, oh my God, I'm a little bloated. Crash diets, these things kind of sneak in. Yeah, so that's why I tell people to typically focus on performance and the aesthetics will follow. Like I said, if you've been training for a long time and you're not going to get those performance gains like you did when you were first started working out, then it makes sense. You focus on sculpting and connecting and you're doing more bodybuilding and all that stuff. So I still stand by that. I think it's a good idea for most people to focus on performance because the aesthetics typically will follow.
