âI canât get lean because I have a slow metabolismâŚâ
So thereâs a lot of people who struggle with this, and I was one of them not too long ago.
And I wasnât able to change it until I started thinking about it differentlyâŚ
âŚSee, usually when people say âslow metabolism,â itâs like theyâre saying they have no control over their weight loss whatsoever because their metabolism doesnât workâŚ
But in reality, people like us with slow metabolism can still lose weight the same way that everyone else does it:
By being in a calorie deficit.
Of course, the problem is that we usually want to eat a lot more than other people, so it doesnât always work outâŚ
But now you at least see how your metabolism doesnât have to stop you from achieving an anime-level physiqueâŚ
Because it didnât stop me :D
And it didnât stop lots of other guys in my community either.
Now if youâre looking to start getting leaner, then I recommend you put 90% of your effort into your dietâŚ
Because thatâs whatâs really gonna make or break your ability to be in a calorie deficit.
See, some foods make you feel full, while others leave you craving moreâŚ
So your goal should be to eat more foods that make you feel full, and less foods that are unsatisfying.
For example, you know how you can eat a whole bag of chips, and still keep eating more afterwards, even though you ate like 1000 calories?
Well, donât eat those types of foods too muchâŚ
Instead, start to add more foods like eggs, steak, avocado and stuff like that to your daily diet, and see how that works for you.
Hope that helps :D

I didnât get my dream physique until I did lessâŚ
And these days, I still see lots of people making the same mistake that I made back thenâŚ
A mistake that keeps people stuck in the same place for months and even years, even though theyâre trying to go as fast as possible.
And that mistake is:
Starting a full-blown anime training montage every time you get motivatedâŚ
âŚAnd trying to go from not training at all to âIâm gonna run 10 miles every day and do 100,000 sit upsâ
Of course thatâs a bit exaggerated but you get the idea.
What most people do is try to do too much, and then, when they inevitably canât stick to it, they think to themselves:
âWell, I guess I canât do this after all.â
But itâs not that you canât do itâŚ
Itâs just that youâre trying to move too fast.
Because the people who train like anime characters and have anime-level physiques?
They didnât start training that way from day 1âŚ
They built it up step by step.
They did a little bit every week, and built on top of it.
And you know whatâs great about doing a little bit every week?
You can actually STICK to it, which builds confidence that you can actually keep goingâŚ
And which motivates you to finally see it through!
So donât do what you think you âneedâ to do to get an anime-level physiqueâŚ
Just do whatever you can!
And as you get stronger, youâll be able to do more :D

Hereâs why itâs EASY for some people to work out (and hard for others)...
I used to feel like getting off the couch and getting myself to work out was like pushing a massive boulderâŚ
Not only because I was pretty fat lol, but also because I just didnât have much energy and willpower to do things.
And when I look back now, I realize that this lack of energy is a huge reason why I struggled to get startedâŚ
In my mind, I was imagining starting this huge and intense anime training arc, where Iâd do 1000 crunches a day and come out the other side with aesthetic absâŚ
But the problem was, I was always too tired to commit to something like that.
Looking back, I realize how backwards that mindset wasâŚ
You know, itâs kind of like an anime character sitting around and âwaitingâ for their power level to magically increase by itself, so that they can go fight the big bossâŚ
But it doesnât happen like thatâŚ
You increase your power level by going out there and getting started â even if youâre starting at âlevel 1â with just a couple push ups per dayâŚ
Because as you build up consistency, you gradually get more and more energyâŚ
And you gradually get more and more willpower to do the things you need to do to achieve your goalsâŚ
Until one day, youâre doing a full-blown anime training arc where you work out multiple times per week â while feeling like itâs EASY!
And at that point, youâll have the drive of an anime protagonist to achieve your goalsâŚ
âŚAnd seeing aesthetic abs, muscular arms and an anime-level back in the mirror is just a bonus!
The real reward is that you now have the âpower levelâ to tackle any challenge and achieve anything you want in life :D
And all of that doesnât start with a big and scary training arcâŚ

Your anime training arc begins when you finally decide to make your LIFE the training arcâŚ
Because the people who have an anime-level physique?
They donât just have short bursts of motivation and train really hard for a short whileâŚ
They get up every day and train consistently â regardless of how they feel.
So instead of thinking about how youâre gonna start your training arc âone dayâ...
Take your first step on your journey and start doing a few push ups a dayâŚ
A short walk a dayâŚ
And get a little bit more protein every dayâŚ
And by doing this, youâll build up your routine step by step, which is how everyone achieves their anime level physiqueâŚ
Because you see, itâs not one short and intense training montage with massive motivation and 1000 crunches like you see in animeâŚ
Itâs a step-by-step journeyâŚ
And to stay consistent on that journey, you need to do something you can actually STICK to.
For me, that was training at home 2-3x times a weekâŚ
And I just built up from there!
And remember, any amount of progress is still progress.
You doing 5 push ups a day instead of 0 is still 5 steps closer to who you want to be.
And as you keep taking those steps, youâll soon find yourself having made more progress in a few months than you did in multiple YEARS trying to take on too much at once.
So donât wait to start your training arcâŚ
Because youâre already living it!

No matter how good your excuses are, youâre better than them đ But the only way youâre gonna know that youâre better than themâŚ
âŚis by taking action to find out what youâre capable of.
Think about it like this:
Your favorite anime characters didnât reach their final form overnightâŚ
They went out there and fought, lost, got disappointed many times, then picked themselves back upâŚ
And eventually they came back strong enough to beat anyone.
And in the same way, you might think you canât achieve your anime level physique right nowâŚ
Because the challenges standing in front of you are just too greatâŚ
But you know what?
Thereâs a version of you that CAN do itâŚ
And while youâre not gonna become that guy overnightâŚ
You will become that guy if you keep moving forward every day.
Because thatâs how everyone does it!
Iâd know because a few years back, I was a lazy, undisciplined nerd that ate way too much chipsâŚ
And now?
Iâm a jacked nerd that only eats a little bit of chips, sometimes đ
Comment below if this changed your perspective a little!

âI canât build muscle because I have a fast metabolismâŚâ
Iâve been seeing this comment a lot on my posts lately and I got to say:
I used to feel jealous of people who had a fast metabolism!
I always wanted to be effortlessly lean like some of my friendsâŚ
But instead, I struggled to cut even when I worked out.
Today?
I realize that I was lucky in a wayâŚ
Because even though I had a hard time getting my body fat downâŚ
It wasnât as hard for me to build muscle as some guys.
See, we all have our own âsuperpowersâ, kind of like anime charactersâŚ
And we also all have our own weaknesses and challenges to overcomeâŚ
And one of the biggest differences between the people who âmake itâ and those who donâtâŚ
âŚIs that the people who get their anime-level physique take full advantage of their strengths, and donât get demotivated by challenges.
After all, if it was super easy, then everyone would have anime villain arms, 3D shoulders and aesthetic absâŚ
And then, people wouldnât care anymore.
Itâs the fact that you need to overcome challenges to get there that makes it special!
And thatâs what makes people turn their heads when they see someone with a Toji-level physique đ
So the next time youâre trying to achieve the physique you want but youâre facing challengesâŚ
Ask yourself:
Am I gonna give in like most guys⌠or am I gonna be the MAIN character of my story?
Thatâs a choice you make every dayâŚ
Remember that!

Ever try to get shredded but HATE counting every calorie?
Iâve been thereâŚ
Pulling out my phone to check the calorie counter every single time I wanted to eat somethingâŚ
And while itâs a good way to get started, honestly, it becomes a bit exhausting after a while.
And if you feel the same wayâŚ
Then what I want you to try is to only track your calories ONE time per day.
See, at the end of the day youâre likely to remember most of the things you ateâŚ
So before you go to sleep, just open up ChatGPT and check what all of that food adds up to.
After a few days, this is gonna allow you to get a âfeelâ of how much is too much, or how much is too littleâŚ
So that eventually you can get shredded without pulling out your phone every single time you eat a grape.
Try it out and let me know how it works!

How to make progress with 1 workout a week (as a beginner)...
Look, for an experienced guy whoâs started getting his chest filling up his shirt, his arms filling up his sleeves, and that Sung Jin Woo-level aura starting to come outâŚ
This probably isnât gonna work wellâŚ
But for beginners? Itâs actually REALLY effectiveâŚ
And itâll give you that much needed boost of motivation that you need to jumpstart your journey and keep goingâŚ
But how can you make progress in just ONE day a week?
Simple:
â
Beginners arenât conditioned for training to begin with, so their bodies naturally need more recovery time anywayâŚ
â
If you combine workouts, by doing lower and upper body at the same time, you can get the benefit of 3 workouts in 1âŚ
â
If you actually train effectively (increasing the difficulty of your exercises, training to failure, eating well)... then youâll still make a lot of progressâŚ
And not only is this an effective way to make progress in the beginningâŚ
Itâs also MUCH easier to start with than trying to get a gym membership while telling yourself, âIâm gonna go 6 days a weekâ...
Because everyone knows weâre creatures of habit, and habits are usually not built that fastâŚ
But if you start doing just ONE hyper-effective workout from home per week on the other hand?
Youâll easily be able to stay consistent until you get those first beginner gains.
Of course, you wonât look like a bodybuilder with this routine, but you WILL get resultsâŚ
And if you do it right, then your friends probably wonât believe that youâre only training 1 day a week from homeâŚ
In fact, theyâll probably be thinking you have a hyperbolic time chamber :D
