Listen "Why Wanting A Six Pack Is Holding You Back"
Episode Synopsis
Angus & Graham discuss why chasing visible abs often leads to unrealistic expectations, unhealthy behaviours, and disappointment. Maintaining the extreme leanness needed for abs can harm physical and mental health, disrupt hormones, and undermine long-term fitness goals. Studies show that intrinsic goals like strength or well-being lead to better adherence and satisfaction, while genetics play a major role in whether abs are even visible. Ultimately, the pursuit of abs may backfire, reducing performance, energy, and life enjoyment, whereas focusing on strength, movement, and feeling good is healthier, more sustainable, and often more attractive.
