There are many things in my life I am working hard to change but if there's one area of my life I already have down, it would be this. In other words, I have already achieved this "ideal male physique" you speak of. I'm at 10-12% body fat and often get complimented on my physique.
Good to hear you've achieved it.
While I partly agree diet, exercise and sleep are part of it.. just like with weight loss it's the surface level. But you did give me the idea to add 'sleep optimization' to the original post as that's one thing I have issues with.
It's logically 'easy' to do the above 3 things, but only if your mind is in the right place, you've dealt with your baggage around it, limiting beliefs and such that are stopping you from doing it, trauma, emotional limitations etc.. this is what I realized with weight loss. It didn't matter what I did before I dealt with the emotional side.
Even sometimes eating right and exercising may not get the results if the deeper stuff is out of whack.
While I do think the supplement industry is full of alot of bullshit and some things may be hyped to sell them. I don't believe that you can say it has nothing to do with testosterone. If your testosterone is naturally higher you're going to get there easier, have more drive to do so and do better with your workouts. Aswell as more naturally have lower bodyfat and more lean muscle.
Plus testosterone is an important part of male mental health, confidence and masculinity. There's not as much point having this great physique if your testosterone is crashed and you have no drive or masculine energy and such. So maybe this program could be "Ideal Male Physique and Male/Masculine Health".
Overall my idea with this is at a higher level of transformation, not just pushing someone to eat right, exercise and sleep well. All of which is important but for a real long term transformation it needs to go deeper. Also the idea of 'this is just the way I eat now' takes care of the issues with a fad diet, as I also know from weight loss that isn't the way to maintain it.
