In this episode, Paul gets straight into the nuts and bolts of building an aesthetic physique. Picking up from episode 304, he emphasizes that looking good is not about chasing six-pack abs or bulking up until you’re “shirt-on big.” 

Instead, it’s about dialing in your proportions to create a balanced, visually appealing physique—whether you’re in a suit, at the beach, or anywhere in between. Drawing inspiration from the Golden Ratio, Paul explains how these timeless principles of harmony and proportion apply to men’s shoulder-to-waist ratio and women’s hip-to-waist ratio as the foundation for aesthetic goals.

But it’s not just theory—Paul delivers actionable insights on achieving these goals. He'll give you a basic workout split to build music and the principles you need to customize your plan to suit your unique goals, preferences, and schedule.
