looking good versus feeling good redux

I've been in this situation before when I was doing near daily calisthenics. I feel GREAT. My energy is up. My libido is way up. Generally aches and pains are down. Conversely, I do not look as good as when I lift to beat myself into the ground. 

Its a conundrum. What do you do? Lift to feel great and see slower visual progress, or lift to feel good about the way you look? Id argue for gen pop the former is the way to go. I say this knowing fully that I want to look a certain way and am unsure if lifting the way I am will get me there.

Very likely because of the massive amount of social media influx, im jonesing after a kettlebell type physique. I.e. solid shoulder and back development. Medium on everything else. Those mother fuckers look like angry bulls with wide obliques. The weirdest shit is there is just as many kettlebell people that dont even look like they lift. And everyone has an opinion on why one way or the other.
