"External validation is never going to be as important as your internal wellbeing" Josh Brett. This single sentence is so freaking true. I wish more people knew this. Thanks once again Josh for an honest and brilliant video.

Sure, that's true, but people also pretend that internal wellbeing is in very large part fueled by external validation. You're not just gonna meditate yourself into being happy.

I think the thing i learned from working out was to just set and forget your exercise regime. Don't worry about goals or were you are. Just go to the gym, do your workout and forget about it. Its just lifting heavy things. Dont let it define you.

Damn i thought i was the only one who thought this. I've been training for 7 years and i never set any specific strength or even size goals. It was always just getting as big and strong as my body and my genetics would allow. The only thing that mattered to me was training hard everytime i hit the gym every single day and it gave me by far the best possible gains i could have ever imagined, while the guys around me who kept setting goals after goals never achieved any noticeable changes in their bodies even after years of lifting. Dont overthink it. Just go to the gym and train hard.

Yup, the only thing you should be tracking is progressive overload and the rest will take care of itself. Unfortunately it takes a long time for a lot of us to realize this, and me personally I fell into the trap of "optimal" training, and I ended up adding too many different types of exercises per muscle group in order to "hit all the angles" of the muscle that I almost completely neglected progressive overload, I was sore and tired sure, but it was due to volume not progressive overload. So I ended up not making any progress and I felt stumped which caused me to quit consistent training for around a year. Optimal training can be good when you're an advanced lifter, but should not be the main priority when working out as a beginner or even an intermediate lifter. So I recently started working out again and I decided to not overthink working out so much and just focus on progressive overload and functional strength. The only body goal I've set for myself now is to look and more importantly to BE healthy.

This is such a great video man. You didn’t just post a physique montage but you gave some really good anecdotal experience which I found very inspiring and useful. I started the gym about 2 years ago and I think you have a very relatable experience. I’m about to take my A-level exams for uni so I’m basically in the same position you were. Your journey has shown that hard work will eventually reach success, even if you get put back for any reason.

You’ve gone through a lot and have come such a long way already. Thank you so much for sharing it so openly with us. It’s definitely inspiring. Thank you. I began 9 months ago my fitness journey when I was 29. I decided from the inside out the standard that I want my body to have, and even though I’m still nowhere near close I know I will keep going until I make it. But it has to come from the inside out, because like you said the external validation is out of our reach and the external world is ever changing, and we have no control over that. That’s ultimately what is going to lead to that fulfillment, that happiness and that self-esteem that you were talking about, to derive our sense of self from the inside out. May we all get there, it’s not an easy road 😂

13:02 great advice and mindset that can help change your perspective on things. “If you suck at something your goal shouldn’t be to return to normal. It’s like a half pipe in skating. Where the further back you start, the more momentum you can gain, and the more likely you can be to surpass that point had you never sucked or were average.” Basically only way up from rock bottom, is up. The sky is the limit. The best way to achieve this is by setting goals. Then identifying the habits and traits you need to achieve those goals. Sleep optimization, habit formation, and systemization.

I love that you're advocating for training for yourself and I'll add that using a routine you enjoy is the most important thing. I recently tried a new 4 day routine to build muscle and ended up losing gains because I hated it. Back to something I enjoy and it may not be optimal but I do it consistently.

The thing that being in shape has given me the most is unwavering confidence.. I always struggled with image and self esteem, my image improved so much over time ever since I got in shape. It's always a topic or the first thing somebody notices due to my larger than normal frame. Everybody knows its the right thing to do and wants to but its the discipline that's the hardest. Finding that animal inside of you.. Mostly I'm just coasting automatically as I know how to train throughout the years, the best is usually floor the gas then back off with a larger rest period. From time to time though I go fully beast mode .

Beautifully produced, and the honesty is so appreciated that's much more needed from others. It would good to hear about your business experience. Covey's Seven Habits was seminal for me in distinguishing between "personality" and the superior concept of "character", and to make decisions based upon principles and not feelings. Hunger on low calories is a massive challenge that requires advice to handle. Ditto sufficient sleep with other commitments. Quick hacks are fake. Instrinsic motivation is the key for sustainable habits and traits. Good luck with the work!

I'm an intermediate lifter and advanced ultrarunner but just bought your course to help support the great content you have. Took a peek at the material and it's high quality stuff with nuggets I can see will be useful. Little disappointed there isn't much in the way of plant based resources there but understand since that wasn't part of your journey. Anyhow just wanted to say keep up the great work helping others.
