The Biggest Lie in Fitness Nobody Wants to Admit | Josh Blue
from Tom's Talks
"There will be times where I sit there and go — I can stop now, and nobody would know or probably even care."That’s the moment most people quit. And according to Josh, it’s the exact moment discipline really starts.Josh is a competitive bodybuilder and online physique coach who walked out of a cinema at 16, called a boxing club the next morning, and has trained ever since. He came dead last at his first bodybuilding show. Ten years later, he’s competing as an open heavyweight — and he’s learned a lot about discipline, mindset, body image and what the fitness industry gets wrong along the way.This conversation goes beyond motivational quotes and hustle culture. We talk about what real discipline looks like when nobody is watching, the sacrifices behind competitive bodybuilding, the pressure to constantly improve your physique, and where the line sits between healthy discipline and becoming your own harshest critic.Because sometimes the habits we call “discipline” can come from a much more complicated place.An honest conversation about ambition, self-worth, body image, resilience and what it really takes to keep showing up.Support the showCheck out my website: toms-talks.co.ukFollow me on Instagram: toms.talks__Follow me on TikTok: tomstalksSubscribe on YouTube: TomsTalks
