Aesthetics >>> strength. Do you agree? 👇👇

Strength is overrated. Because what is its use? Be strong enough to be functional. But beyond a point, strength has almost zero utility. You can be a 500 kg deadlifter but a kid with a gun can put you down in 3 seconds. Overall health matters more 😆

Damn right my bro. A gun is even too much. A skillfull tiny fighter will disgrace you with all your strength in one minute. 😂

@Metabolic1992 Positive you both can bench 275+, squat 315+, dead 405+ No?

@ericunited1 I can squat 315+ yes, deadlift 450+, bench maybe if I train for bench i can. Dumbell incline presses is what I do. Currently 40 kg dumbells... About 6-7 reps.

@ericunited1 Then you're strong dude. And your aesthetic. Which was what I was getting at, you're both aesthetic and assumed strong. It's better to be both than just one imo.

@ericunited1 Yes 👍🏻 Being strong at low body fat automatically brings aesthetics. Both are good to have 😁

Agree my cardiologist just recommended I lose weight. Said the heart is out under stress from mass regardless of fat or muscle. I am losing weight for my long term health.

You get the point, Ryno.

I partially agree with him. Strength is just as important as aesthetics. For me, I want to be both strong and aesthetically appealing.

You can only choose one oooo. There's no sitting on the fence. 😂 But the truth is, anyone who has his kind of build would have enough strength already. There's no fatting up all in the name of "strength."

Yes x1000.

Okay yes but if you’re 5’8” no one will care.

And what can you do about that?

Strength>> Aesthetics is not tied to longevity. It's not tied to any measurable health metric that can improve your quality of life beyond looks. Strength last longer treats your body better and when done properly with a good diet, will still result in an Aesthetic physique.

But you can be aesthetically built and still have enough strength. Agree?

Yes. But anyone who says that focusing on strength is a wasteless endeavor knows very little about the action of strength and the human condition. It is better to achieve an aesthetic physique from a good diet and sufficient strength training than to lean directly into aesthetics.

I get your point.

When you have achieved good aesthetics you WILL be somewhat strong in relation to your own bodyweight. It's not as important if you bench 20kg more or less, if you're not a powerlifter or strongman.

@gracepuregold I think you can do both 😉

@gracepuregold That aesthetics look comes with enough strength already if you deepen it. It's not so cheap to build muscles.

@Dumb__Username both. Aesthetics are great. But functional strength and being genuinely dangerous are great too.

@Dumb__Username Balance is key!

@Dumb__Username Facts

My position is put enough weight on to where you can do 12-15 reps with the last rep reaching failure point. That will build good strength + give you all the aesthetics.

Remain ever blessed, brother! This is enough for the balance of life.

Disagree. I don’t wanna look strong. I wanna BE strong. Working for aesthetics is like buying a Porsche for everyone to see and not once taking it out to spin and testing its limits. An aesthetic guy will never know what his true strength because he is being held back by society.

Aesthetic build is enough strength on its own for functionality. Think about it

if you’re hitting the right lifts then increasing the weight is not going to hurt your aesthetics. the real issue here is diet not routine.

This man is tripping, I want the real strength wtf…

With beer belly?

As long as you have sufficient muscle mass to maintain function, strength is the premium quality, especially as you age. That said, if you build muscle mass you should build strength as well.

Yeah, Mark. Balance is key, but don't go around looking rounded because you are building for "strength"

Oh yes, plenty of fat powerlifters about, health is key so lower body fat definitely wins.

On point right there, Mark. We have an agreement and a common ground already. 🤝

Absolutely agree. There is no way a good looking muscle is weak and it is really not important how strong you are, you will be plenty.

On point there! The muscle didn't get there by chance. It was built to that level. So that's enough strength for me.

Strength is law 🌚😂

Law kee you there 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💔

😂😂

Those eyebrows bench 180

Won't dispute that!

Depends on your life. I work in a prison, being stronger than other people is important. Also the doors are super heavy and weak people often end up with shoulder injuries from repeated use there. Also, being strong helps injury recovery.

The dude in this video would conveniently do everything you do at work, mate. Don't play!

Would he though? Or would he shit himself the first time a prisoner threatened him?

That's learning on the job. Every work has its hazard. He'd build that kind of confidence on the job.

Yeah I'd hope so. I've seen people his build leave after their first incident, but then I've seen tiny girls do amazing things too.

I like your sincerity. It's all about choice and mindset. He could decide to stay like the tiny guys too. Those who left could have their reasons for leaving too, which might not necessarily be about strength.

Bullshit.

ah yes, optimise for perception, not actualy being the real thing. ok yh thats definitely how to go about life

Bravo💪💪💪

@Victor_Ude19 110% After aesthetics the next thing is being able defend yourself Strength as a quality on its own doesn’t have as much application in every day life after a certain threshold

@Victor_Ude19 God bless you my bro. Shey na problem I dey find about everyday ni? Which one be "strength strength?" I dey fight boxing? 😂😂😂

@Victor_Ude19 😂😂😂 for real The most dangerous fighters in the world are not even that “250 kg squat” strong

@Victor_Ude19 Honestly. It's all unnecessary if you are not a power lifter.

@AjeboDanny is the face of this, training for aesthetics

@Victor_Ude19 Yeah.

@Victor_Ude19 Man wey sabi!

@Victor_Ude19 Nobody gives a shit about those PRs

@Victor_Ude19 Fvck that shit! Only exception is to power lifters.

You need both. Nobody cares if you squat 560 but look like a fat trucker. Squat 560 and look absolutely chiseled will always be the best combination.

That's what I'm talking!

100% true

🤝

Dude is short and weak I don’t really care what this little fella says

What exercise makes you taller? Strength training? 😂😂

You can do both. You just gotta work harder.

And remember to be in shape.

226. I lift heavy all day, and im lean.

Fair enough, bro.

@DamValrick I slightly agree 😀

@DamValrick My nigga put "slightly" 😂😂😂. Agreement is agreement ooo😂😂😂

Yesiiiir

No, seeing a dude deadlift 405 will always be more impressive than a balding dude on steroids

You don't think he's natty?

100% agree! I both lift to have an aesthetic physique and train MMA to protect myself and those I love, I don’t lift half as much as the big guys in my gym but I look 1000x better and can destroy them at any given moment, that satisfaction can never be beat

That's what's up. The type of strength that takes you out of shape is extremely overrated. You can have an aesthetically pleasing look and still have enough strength.

Hey whatever make you happy, keep it up 👍

Exactly that’s why I’m running from getting addicted to heavy lifting cause you just change your career goal to bouncer

Lmao😂😂😂😂

100. the girl ain't c*mming to his beer belly sticking out "strength", but to his look.

Spot on, mate
