A short spoken segment from a YouTube video by Joe Polish advising viewers to stop focusing on weight loss (and the scale) and instead prioritize training and building muscle.

So if you want to play out full out at 100, what do you need to do? You got to train for it now, and you got to stop trying to lose weight. One of the worst things that we are doing is trying to lose weight. In fact, if you want to lose weight, the best thing that you could do is go take a zembic and sit on your butt, and you will lose tons of muscle. You'll lose lots of weight, and you did not make yourself healthier. So we really got to ditch the scale and stop focusing on weight. We got to look at what that weight is made of and be very, very aware of the muscle that we have on our body and look every day at how we can build it.
