Better Body, Better Life

Why You’re Training Hard and Still Not Lean — w/ Chenyang Zhao

Irtaza Farooq

Most people are working out, eating clean(ish), and still wondering why their body isn’t changing.

In this episode, I sit down with Chenyang Zhao —founder of Aspire Coaching— to unpack the real reasons why your body won’t change, why perfection isn’t the answer, and what it actually takes to build a lean, confident physique without giving up your lifestyle.

We dive deep into:
 • Why people still spin their wheels despite training hard
 • The biggest mindset mistakes sabotaging your results
 • How to stay consistent when work, weekends, and real life hit
 • Why Aspire Coaching and Method Coaching both ditch the “eat clean, train more” trap—and what we do instead

If you’ve ever felt stuck despite your effort, this episode will hit home. No fluff. Just real talk from two coaches who’ve helped 100s of individuals transform permanently.
