In this episode, we explore the debate between performance-based goals versus aesthetic-based goals in fitness and training. While aesthetic-based goals may provide motivation for some individuals, we argue that pursuing performance-based goals promotes functional strength and overall athletic ability, leading to greater gains in muscle mass and overall fitness. We also discuss the potential cons of both approaches and provide tips on how to strike a balance between the two. Join us as we delve deeper into this topic and provide insights on how to achieve a well-rounded and sustainable approach to fitness.
