Greg O’Gallagher - Getting Lean, Looksmaxxing & What Women Actually Want

Yeah, lean is law, dude.

It really is.

Yeah, lean is law.

I mean, especially like, I mean, obviously like looks maxing is such a conversation now.

It seems like it's really found its way in the ether, but like 90, what would you say? Like 90% of all that stuff is just being lean?

Yeah, I mean, it depends on the person, but like it's probably 70%.

If someone is 20, 25% body fat, which is super common- Most ascending is gonna come down to getting very lean.

The face becomes sharp.

Even your jawline actually, if you have excess fat, it can even soften your jawline massively.

Even your sleep is off.

You become a mouth breather, and so your jaw muscles become atrophied.

So lean just has so many different ripple effects, how clothes look on you.

But there's other things to optimize for sure.

You know, you got to take care of your skin, your teeth, you know, your hair, right? So it's the full package, how you dress, how you carry yourself, you know, but lean is going to be a huge part.

If you look at any actual movie star, think of any actual movie star, they're all relatively lean.

You know, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Ryan Gosling, every single movie star, you have to be lean.

You can't be a movie star at 20% body fat.

Even you saw Chris Pratt, right? Chris Pratt was 25% body fat, and he couldn't be a movie star until he had abs, until he had a jawline.

So it's just like, you gotta be lean.

And it's so funny the difference in what guys view as optimal versus what girls think is optimal.

And I'm sure you've seen those charts a million times where it's like, girls...

What guys think is the optimal physique is a much bigger, bulkier look than what girls tend to view as the optimal physique.

Yeah,

we have the data, and it's around a 23 to 26 BMI.

That's kind of the sweet spot.
