For years, I trained hard in strength training because, as a fitness professional, I felt the need to look a certain way. And let’s be honest—most people who train are chasing a certain look, whether it’s getting shredded, bulking up, or maintaining a lean physique.
Recently, due to my struggles with depression, I experimented with a different training approach—pushing every set to complete failure. But instead of making me stronger, it wrecked my energy levels, leaving me more exhausted each day.
Then, one fine day (yesterday), I decided to heck care. I stopped my usual 3-set routine and switched to just one set to failure, abandoning all that unnecessary volume. On top of that, I ditched macro atention. Now, I eat whatever I feel like eating and only when I am truly hungry.
For the first time in my life, it feels like liberation. It feels like freedom. I’ve completely let go of the idea of training for bulking or cutting, and the same goes for my diet. Fuck the old lifestyle of meeting external standards. Now, I just want to train when I feel like it, eat whatever and whenever I want, and live life on my own terms.
I have not felt this much freedom in such a long time.
