In this solo episode, Alex opens up about a season of his life when he was absolutely dialed in — shredded, disciplined, and physically at his peak. But what most people didn’t see was the behind-the-scenes cost: the sacrifices, the social restrictions, and the constant pressure to maintain that physique. Now on the other side, with a little more softness and a lot more freedom, he shares how stepping back from extreme fitness gave him something he didn’t expect — a richer, more balanced life. If you’ve ever chased “the look” and wondered if it’s worth it, this one’s for you.
