Shoulder Training, The Dark Side of Fat Loss & How To Get Paid

Posted by Jason Ferruggia

Everyone wants to get #ripped. It’s all over magazine covers, internet ads, and your instagram feed.

What’s the cost?

Look, I am all about getting in great shape and love nothing more than watching people dominate their performance and body comp goals. But when it takes a turn from healthy to unhealthy, I gotta speak up.

Too many people out there let this unrelenting obsession with being shredded take control of their lives. You start chasing numbers on the scale, check the mirror 5 times per day, and critique your body fat levels as if you’re a supermodel before a Sports Illustrated cover shoot.

Take a step back and rejoin reality.

Fitness is a supplement to your life. Not your reason for living.

If this issue resonates with you, tune in to today’s episode to hear me discuss how you can redirect your training goals back to a place of health and performance, rather than obsession and self-criticism.
