Ep 77: The Mirror Test: What You See vs. What's Actually There

Most men don’t fail in the gym, they fail in the mirror.In this brutally honest episode, Dane dives into the Mirror Test, a gut-check every man needs but most avoid. Because the truth is, your reflection doesn’t lie… but you do.It’s not about vanity. It’s about awareness.You didn’t wake up forty pounds heavier overnight, it happened slowly, one skipped workout and one “I’ll start Monday” at a time. Over time, your brain adjusted. You stopped noticing the decline. You looked in the mirror and saw what you wanted to see, not what’s really there.Dane exposes how men lie to themselves, sucking in their gut, finding the best lighting, telling themselves “it’s not that bad.” He explains why progress photos and objective data (like weight, waist size, and energy levels) are the only way to cut through the illusion. And he breaks down how body dysmorphia doesn’t just mean seeing yourself worse than you are, for most men, it’s the opposite. They see themselves better than they actually are.You’ll learn how to use the mirror as feedback instead of validation, why comfort is killing your self-awareness, and how to take back control through brutal honesty and action.If you’re ready to stop lying to yourself, face reality, and rebuild from the truth, this episode will shake you awake.Your move: Take the Dad Bod Assessment Quiz at DadBodSculptors.com and get a real plan built on data, not denial.Face the truth.
