[0:00]This is me when I try doing all the fancy routines and complicated diets. This is me now, being super boring, repeating the same stuff in the gym. I never thought that being boring would make me look better. This video is going to show you how being boring will make you aesthetic in 2026. Let's get into it. Try to focus on me right now when you have all this other stuff in the background. It's hard, right? But what happens the moment you cut everything out, you black out the screens, and you just see this? You can focus. It's the same thing in your training. Focus is the hack in a distracted world, which is what we're approaching in 2026. More than ever, you have fitness influencers, fitness videos, fitness routines, and all kinds of crazy exercises with all these science-based gym bros coming out saying, "Do this! Do that!" And you just feel overwhelmed. If that's you, understand that you can just completely ignore everything. Focus on just the things that I'm going to tell you. Really basic stuff that have stood the test of time, and kind of be boring to be honest. Not do all this cool stuff that all the latest guys are doing. And in fact, that's going to move you ahead because you've reduced overwhelm, because you've brought focus, and that is really what's going to make a difference in your physique. What do you actually focus on to build an aesthetic body? Number one is the incline bench press. This is the king kong of upper body exercises because it targets pretty much all of your upper body besides your back. It's going to hit shoulders, it's going to hit your upper chest, it's going to hit your chest, it's going to hit your triceps, it's going to hit your forearms, it's going to hit your abs. Everybody that has an aesthetic body swears by the incline bench press. The next one is a chin up or a pull up. Everybody that has a ripped back, that has a V-taper, has been spamming chin ups and pull ups. It's the oldest exercise known to man because when we were chimps, we were probably hanging. It's also very functional and healthy for your joint pains because it decompresses your spine when you hang. It's just the best exercise for the upper body full stop. What are the other two? Shoulder press, whether it's dumbbells or barbells, and some kind of rows. Basically cut out every other exercise that all these other guys do. Boom, you're boring. And the moment you do this, you start to learn a lot of things. How to do the exercise better, how to tweak your form, how to get the shoulder attraction, how to use your abs for stabilization, how to grip your feet on the floor. All the tiny details that you could not think about if you're focusing on a billion different things, you can now do that and get even more gains because you focused. Every exercise is like the gift that keeps on giving, if you focus on it, it's going to give you more and more. Next, what do you do for the lower body? I'm going to give you the same thing. Just do these four exercises, they're the Bulgarian split squats because they build an absolutely amazing lower body when it comes to your VMOs, your quads, your glutes, your hamstrings, your abs, your grip strength, your hip flexors. It hits all of those at once. Then you have the Romanian deadlifts which hits your glutes, your lower back, your hamstrings, your calves, your abs, your grip strength, your back even, your traps even. Stop listening to all these cool ass gym bros teaching you all these cool ass leg exercises, whether it's this version of the squat and that version of the squat. Nope, that is it. If you wanted to add two more, I would suggest that you do hip thrust and it's going to isolate your glutes, it's going to work your hip flexes. And let's just throw in the weighted knee raise, my personal favorite hip flex/ab exercise, which again, if you do it hanging targets your grip strength, your hip flexes, your abs, your obliques, and even your tibialis, which is the muscle in the front of your leg. It does all of those things at once. This is the trick. By targeting multiple muscle groups at the same time, you can basically build an aesthetic body by doing just these four to eight exercises that I've outlined. And I promise you if you build a routine around these exercises and just focused on getting better at them and stronger at them, you will build an aesthetic body even as a beginner in 2026. Now, if you want an actual routine that breaks this down into a step-by-step formula, so you can build that V-taper body, visible abs, broad shoulders, then check out aesthetic body blueprint, that's my three times a week routine. That is absolutely minimal, super simple so you can actually stay consistent with it. Next, there's another thing that all of my clients, coaching clients that I work with say. And they say, "One day I've been doing your routines and I haven't skipped a workout in three months, six months, eight months." First of all, why are they able to do that? Because it's boring and simple. Boring in the sense that it's not filled with cool, fancy stuff that's changing all the time. It's the same thing over and over again. They're able to do that because the system only requires that you train two to three times a week. None of this push pull legs. None of this like crazy arm day, ab day, upper body day, shoulder day, leg day, this complicated stuff that's very difficult to stick to. All you do is you train two to three times a week, you just do push day, pull day or you do upper body day, lower body day. It's very, very simple because you're just doing the same stuff over and over again. And that's what's going to make you aesthetic, especially as a beginner who's trying out and he doesn't really know what to do, right? Maybe you're in that spot. You don't know exactly how to train in the best way. What do you need? You need a complex routine that's hard to follow, that changes all the time. Or do you need something that's just two to three times a week that actually fits your life and actually allows you to make progress with simple exercises that you remember and get better at? Now if you're wondering, how do I work with you, Wahnie? How do I get this boring system installed into my life so I actually see amazing results and don't get bored in the long run? Then you can apply for my coaching program below. It's for busy guys who have other things going on and really need that simplicity. So you can hit that link if that interests you. Let's get on to the next point. So I go to London and I'm living with my brother and he's going through a carnivore diet. He's practically a carnivore right now. He's still kind of doing it, he started introducing some other ingredients, but anyways, I'm eating with him and he literally just goes, buys meat, cooks meat, and eats meat. He doesn't buy all these other ingredients, all these other cool like side dishes. A lot of people will look at that and say that's really boring, man. That's like a really boring diet. You just eat steak and you forget. Like you don't do nothing else. How can you eat like that? It's so boring. I want more stuff. So what I would do is I would get some rice and like fish sauce and like eggs and I'd add a little extra stuff. But that experience taught me a lot. Because A, he got absolutely jacked. He built an aesthetic body when he switched to that diet. It was so easy for him to build muscle and get lean because he simplified his diet. And all those other options were just out. All he focused on was that one ingredient that was giving him all the protein he needed to build muscle and get lean. I'm not saying do a carnivore diet, but that just shows the power of focus and elimination of the unnecessary stuff. In my opinion, I do think that is a little bit too extreme, a little bit too boring in terms of the availability of food. But you got to understand that I also have eliminated so many things from my diet that many people might say, that's kind of boring. I went to a social event with my friends and they had all these snacks on the table and I just didn't eat any. Now, in many cases they might be like, oh, you're so boring. Oh, you don't drink, oh it's so boring. Well, guess what? It's not boring having a physique that is healthy, that it gives you confidence. Understand that when you do less, you bring more focus, and when you bring more focus, you get more results and the exact same thing happens in the diet as well. Next. Another client of mine, I was working with them and after I guided him through some diet stuff, he just said, "You know what? I made this diet tracker, which tracks these four metrics that you talked about." And he started dropping weight consistently. We could see bottlenecks like that, we could see exactly what he needed to change like that. Oh, your protein's a little low? Let's address that. Oh, it's the steps that's really causing it. Oh, it's like that. Oh, you're eating at a deficit but your weight's not dropping? Let's re-evaluate the calculation. Oh, everything's going right, but this is happening. Oh, it's because of this, like it just literally just showed whatever needed to change in the moment. And it was almost like before I could even give him the answer, the tracker would give him the answer before me. So, it's the closest thing that just shows you exactly what you need to do. And if you want that, you can just DM me track inside Instagram and I'll send it to you. But again, it's one of those things where it's like, oh, it's kind of boring to track everything, right? It's kind of boring to track your workouts. It's boring to track your diet. But what are you going to do? It's going to make you aesthetic in 2026. The moment you start tracking your exercises, you're going to find out that you're actually getting stronger and that's going to motivate you. And ironically, it's going to make it more fun again in the long run. In the short term, it might seem boring to track all of this. But in the long term, that's what's going to keep you going. Same thing with the diet. In the short term, it's boring. Calculating calories, calculating protein, calculating your steps and doing all these stuff and putting it in an Excel sheet like a little nerd like it's super boring. Except when you get ripped, when you get a six-pack, when you get aesthetic, because you know exactly what to change, exactly what the problem is. Then it's not so boring. And you see your weight dropping even by 200 grams each week. That ain't boring. Trust me, when you're starting to see changes in the mirror, and your wife, your partner, your friends, your dating opportunities all improve in the space of a few months. That ain't boring. Again, tracking is one of the biggest hacks when it comes to improving your physique. Don't just discard it and call it boring. Embrace it for a short period of time so that in the long run, you actually enjoy the entire fitness journey. The final thing that you got to realize is that you must stay consistent over the long run. Don't believe these fitness influencers, these programs that promise you ripped beach body abs in 90 days or just the craziest transformation in one month, two months, even three months. That is not realistic for you as a beginner or even an intermediate to build an aesthetic body that truly looks good, that truly stands out on the beach, that truly makes you confident. It's going to take at least six months, maybe up to a year or more. So, stop focusing so much on the short term. Am I seeing this gains? Am I is this changing? Is my weight dropping right now? Instead, learn to zoom out and focus on the long run. So, if I just focused on my neck injury that happened, that took me out of the gym for 30 days and I'm like, oh my god, I wasn't consistent for a month. Okay, but how about if we zoom out for the whole year? Except that neck injury, I was consistent pretty much the entire year. That's the kind of consistency you want to build. Not a month one, not a two month one, but an entire year. And the more you can zoom out, the less you get stressed and the more you will actually see results. Now, if you want to build that kind of consistency with me and get this kind of mindset guidance where you don't freak out each time something goes wrong, where you actually have a strategic plan, where you know when to push, when to relax, when to coast, when to kind of ride along with the plateaus to finally get the aesthetic body that you want.
