What is up, family? What is up? It is Saturday.
We are on the way to the gym. And holy crap, guys. I'm so so grateful right now.
I woke up later than usual. I had I'll be honest with you, I had a long night gaming session last night, all through the morning. I I've been a gamer all my life, but recently, I would say the last three years.
I kind of just saw games as a waste of time um because of the goals I'm trying to hit. And there hasn't even been any good games anyways. But I've been on that uh Claire, what is it?
Clare obscure expedition 33. Oh my goodness gracious, bro. That game is sensational.
So, I'm trying to get through that. I'm about to get to uh I just got Well, I'm about to get to to The Paint. I'll just say that.
So, I'm trying to finish that, bro. It It was It's good, man. It's good.
The soundtrack, everything's going on. But I digress. I'm extremely grateful because So, I'm in this gated community, right?
Bunch of mobile homes. Bunch of trailers. Like like a little trailer park type of little trailer park type of vibes.
You know what I'm saying? Going to get me the goddamn sweet potatoes and the pig feet. Goddamn it.
You know what I'm saying? It's that type of vibe, but the Mexican version, right? So, there's a bunch of Mexican, but a bunch of Hispanics, Mexicans, uh, Puerto Ricans out here.
Hola. Hola. same type of W vibe, but uh with that version, Hispanic, that Hispanic vibe.
So, you are not supposed to leave your vehicle out on the street uh because you will get towed, right? You got to you got to put it up on the on the on your parking right on your driveway. I completely forgot, bro.
Completely forgot. And I left my vehicle uh at the bottom. I do room with my brother.
So, I thought he was gonna come, but he ended up staying with his girl and he didn't come and I completely forgot. Bro, so I left it down there. I walk outside.
I don't see the vehicle on the in the on the driveway. My heart just sank. I was so excited to go to the gym, get this working, feeling good.
Heart sank. I was like, "Shit, I got towed. " Because I'm telling I'll tell you one thing, bro.
They do not play around with that towing [ __ ] here. Like, they will You going? I'm going.
All right, I'm going. They do not play around with that [ __ ] bro. Like, they will tow you.
I've I've literally seen it. There's a certain um I think it's 11 p. m.
You're not supposed to have your vehicle out there. They keep it real secure. You know what I'm saying?
uh you pay for the land and then they they uh you know it's a gated community so it's nice and safe. They got the the amenities and all that. So they keep uh they keep a tight shift tight shift which I like but I walk out onto the street.
Luckily I'm there peeking just to see if my vehicle is still still there. I froze for a second. I peek around the corner.
The vehicle was still there. right away. I give praise to the most high, bro.
Praise to the most high because I'm telling you, they do not play around with that, bro. So, I'm very grateful. Very grateful.
If my vehicle would have been gone, I don't know what I would have done, man. That would have sucked. It would have been a terrible way to start my Saturday.
I don't know what happened. I'm not even going to question it. But all I know is I'm goddamn grateful.
God damn it. So, we're on the way to the gym. Feeling good, looking good, smelling good.
Uh, great weekend, man. You know, I I did want to mention uh let's go and talk about a little bit of dating, boys, cuz you know, on this channel, we want to talk about everything. I am a single dad.
Yeah, I like I primarily my I am trying to cater towards the older, you know, 25 and over uh dad uh group, but I just want I want to improve all men. if you get some if and we're going to talk about dating here. I I I have a daughter.
Um things didn't work out. I've been through all that [ __ ] So, I'm a single dad. I'm dating out here.
I'm out here trying to slang that thing around. You know what I'm saying? So, nah.
Uh no, not not even like that. But, so I do use dating apps. I do all that.
Um I've been on a I left So, me and my girl split up about two years ago, right? So, I've been on the dating apps. I've been on the self-improvement vibe.
I'm 33. So, you know, at 31 is when I just got into the dating realm, and it's way different, right? I went 5 years without really being out in that world cuz I was in a relationship, you know?
And I'll probably talk about more of of the relationship uh there in future episodes. But, uh when it comes to dating, bro, being physically fit does give me the upper hand. I was doing that back where I'm from, uh in El Paso.
and I'm over here in Tampa now. Uh, and it goes well for me um to a degree, right? Uh, because I'm in shape.
So, bro, just being physically fit will put you above so many men. Like, and I'm not even going to lie to you. Um, I know a lot of you will be like, "Nah, dating apps, nah, [ __ ] them.
" And yeah, I I know I know it is tough, but honestly, the amount of volume that you get with women, it it's it's you'll get a lot more volume than if you're out there just approaching girls. You should still do that, which that's something I got to work on cuz I just don't go out too much. I'm trying to kind of stay isolated, stay on my grind, and just gym.
But, uh, I do need to get out a little more and do all that. But, uh, yeah. So anyways, on the dating apps, this we it was very strange, bro.
This is these are the negatives about it. Um I've already met a couple of shorties from there. Look good.
I give them a good uh six 6. 57, you know, nothing crazy. Um I did I did uh I did snipe a couple baboons, a couple couple rabbits already.
I've been here three month four months now. But uh man, girls are flaky, bro. I'm gonna tell you that right now.
And I already know this. I'm just This is just a topic I wanted to talk about because this week, so usually what I do, and of course, I watch YouTube videos. I learn about it, you know, as I'm an older guy.
I'm trying to get back in the in the groove and learning things and improving instead of hating on the dating apps. A healthier mindset with anything in life is how could I improve? Oh, girls don't want me.
I need to get fitter. I need to make more money. I need to get smarter.
That's a better approach to life, bro. As opposed to, uh, I don't get no likes. Oh, well, [ __ ] them.
I'm not I'm I just won't deal with girls. Nah, bro. It's a loser losers mindset.
Life is pretty black and white for the most part, bro. 2 plus 2 equals four. you to to attain something, there are steps to achieve that result.
No one else is better than you or more special than you. They're just doing the things that you're not doing. So, I want to do the thing.
I want to have a healthier mindset. If you guys don't want them, I'm going to slang. I'm going to be sniping these girls out here in Tampa.
You guys don't want them, I'm going to get them. So, it's up to you, bro. But get fit, look good, take nice pictures, you know, just just do the actions, bro.
Just do the actions. Trust me. Like there's no Just do it, bro.
Just do it for your own good, too. It's You're gonna learn a bunch of [ __ ] too, to become a better man. Uh oh, [ __ ] Fire truck passing by.
Not behind me. So, um anyways, uh usually what I do is I I I don't even get a bunch of likes. I'll be honest.
Like I said, I got to work on my pictures and all that, but um I'll get like a good five five four or five a day, something like that. Um on each each platform, right? Um and I usually schedule girls like two girls on one day because I already know how flaky they are.
And Lord, Lord and behold, I scheduled so I had two yesterday and Friday, two today and two Sunday because and then and then you know if both of them are saying they're going to make it, I'll check in with them like at like at noon or something like if they're still it's still going down and if one of them flakes, cool. I got the other one. If both of them are down, then I'll flake on the one I don't really uh the one that's uh uh just not up to the standards.
We'll put it that way. All right. So, but this weekend, bro, all of them all of them canceled on me.
And it's fine. It's fine because there was some kind of energy. So, they did tell me, they did notify me, right?
Um two of them did. The other two didn't. I had to reach out to them, but they said, "Oh, I got a I got I'm sick.
Oh, I'm this. Oh, I'm that. Oh, can we do next week?
Can we do blah blah blah? " Two of them I'm not even going to answer because I already felt like this like weird vibe just to get to schedule a date. When they're very flaky and not really high interest, you could just notice it right off the bat.
And the other two do show high interest because or a little more interest because they at least offered another day and time, you know, that that was a good sign for me. Like yes, he still kind of let them know, yo, that's not cool. We had this plan.
Um well, not like that. You don't say this, right? You just don't use these words literally.
It's not what I say. Um I'm just saying like the mindset, the mind frame. You do still want to let them know, okay, well, yeah.
um or or or look at the read between the lines. If she offers another day and another time, hey bro, don't get mad. Like maybe it is true.
You never know. You're just assuming at this point she offered a different day another time. Reschedule the date.
It's not a big deal, bro. Now, if that doesn't go as planned, then get her out the way. She's banished to the shadow realm.
You know what I'm saying? Pegasus up in this [ __ ] dude. You're banished to the shadow realm.
And I banished them real quick. I don't give a damn. Um, but yeah, women are very flaky, bro.
So, you have to understand that. And that's my whole kind of the whole I guess point I want to make is with the apps, you do get a bunch of volume cuz if women are typically flaky, do you think they're not going to flake on you if you meet them in person? Like women are still women.
Like they're still going to have other invitations from other guys or maybe they're seeing another guy. You know what I'm saying? So increase the volume, bro.
It sells. Literally, women are cells, bro. So, just got to the gym.
Yeah. Just wanted to mention that they all flicked on me. But it's fine because even before like on Wednesday or Thursday, bro, I kind of I was behind on like editing videos and I was getting like I I couldn't figure out some stuff and then I spent a lot of time on a video.
It didn't it ended up getting deleted. So, I wasted hours there. So, my mood was just kind of off.
Um so, I didn't even feel the energy to even see the ones yesterday on Friday. But um so yeah, so I I in my mind in my mind I was like, damn, I kind of just want to cancel on everything. Everybody work on my grind, work on my hustle because now I'm behind because I wasted all these hours um by some technical error.
I just didn't back up some videos and didn't do [ __ ] right. So um and then look what happened. They ended up all all cancelling on me, which is great, bro.
It's great. Like why am I going to cry and [ __ ] about it? It it didn't work out.
Four chicks. four chicks, you know what I'm saying? Um, and I don't even talk to him like a long time, so I didn't really lose much.
But, um, yeah, bro, now I have time to work on my grind, you know? So, I see it as like the energy manifesting itself, what I wanted and what I got, what God gave me. You wanted that time.
You know, you felt it in your heart. So, I'm going to get these girls who flake on you because they're probably not even worth your time anyways. They're they don't even qualify for you, right?
for for a for a stallion like yourself, CJ. So, I'm going to get them out your way and then go work. Go put in some work.
And I ended up playing a video game. But I did do it at the end of the day, though. All right.
I didn't wake up and start playing. All right. Expedition 33, man.
So, it's so good. But, uh but yeah, bro, get the work done before. All right.
That's another We'll probably talk about that after I I uh get finished with my workout. So, we're here at the gym. Let's get to it.
It is a pool day. We're feeling good, man. I look good.
Goddamn it. See, when you look good, bro, and you when you're fit, you're smart, you're talented, you know what I'm saying? You're charming, charismatic, this [ __ ] don't don't it doesn't affect you cuz you know another shorty is already coming in.
All right? So, lock the hell in, boys. Fitness is literally the foundation.
And it's is the bare minimum you could do. And you're already above like 90% of dudes. Get fit.
God damn it. Let's go work out. Put in that work.
I'm going to release some stress out of all these women just flaking on me. Just these evil creatures. Oh my god.
Let's go. Put in the work, bro. All right, boys.
Got the mic right here. They got the music bumping. Uh hopefully y'all could hear this [ __ ] But I got the mic right here.
So hopefully we're good. We're going to do go ahead and get this full day going. We're going to start off with some warm-up muscle lift sets.
Probably just work on that transition since that's my weakest spot. We're going to go ahead and do that like two to three warm-up sets and then two three working sets. Probably do a little bit of drop down sets.
Well, we'll see how I [Music] feel. Heat. Heat.
[Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat.
[Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat.
Heat. [Music] [Music] [Applause] Jesus [Music] activity. [Music] Heat.
[Music] Heat. All [Music] [Music] right. Let's get these warm-up sets going.
Wristio kind of [ __ ] up. Not too [Music] bad. A little bit harder [Music] now.
[Music] [Music] Remember to work on explosivity. Especially the second day, we want to work on that explosiveness, the fast twitch muscle fibers, long range of motion, little bit less intensity. But for the first exercise, we always do want to make it a little more intense uh in terms of explosivity.
Not so much weight. Like that has to be kind of difficult, too. But just more explosive because I'm going to need that when I do the actual muscle up.
So, we're going to work on that today. Let's get into it. All right.
So, we're going to just try to go for it. Do a muscle re muscle up attempt. Just see where I'm at and then we can go ahead and modify from there.
This is just to give it a shot. I don't feel 100% but we're going to just try it out and see what happens. Heat.
[Music] Heat. Heat. Heat.
[Music] Oh, [Music] she me. Heat. [Music] Heat.
Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] Got a little five reps.
Not too shabby. Felt pretty good. We went for just some negatives.
That seems to be a progression that I feel a little bit more comfortable with. Uh that's just it's it's we did five reps, so it's still intense on the wrist, but the negatives are key because it'll allow you to just get the feeling of actually doing the movement. We're always stronger in our negative.
Remember that [ __ ] Any exercise, we're always stronger in that negative, so take advantage of them. So, we'll stick with that. Probably do three sets of that and then maybe we'll do a couple of sets of just a transition only.
All right, let's get the second uh working set of the negative. I'll probably mess with some transitions as well or uh jumping up into the [Music] muscle. Heat.
[Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat.
Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat.
[Music] Heat. Heat. Heat.
[Music] [Music] [Music] You and [Music] I are [Music] here. All [Music] right, that's a lot better. Another five reps.
We'll do one more set of negatives and then we'll try to do we'll try to do the actual full thing. I just felt like I needed to warm up a little bit since I wasn't feeling 100%. So, I did a little extra.
But, uh, two to three sets, uh, warm up, working sets, and then actually make an [Music] attempt. All [Music] right. Not going to lie, I'm not doing it today, but try and get it.
See what we can do. [Music] You are you Heat. [Music] Heat.
Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat.
Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat.
Heat. Heat. [Music] Hallelujah.
[Music] She went all the [Music] way to the Lord. Heat. Heat.
[Music] [Music] together and motion. [Music] Heat. Heat.
[Music] I don't [Music] [Music] [Music] All right, that's a lot better. Getting used to that false grip. You can see it will leave a little bit of callus on that [ __ ] but it's fine.
The skin's getting tougher, so it hurts less and less more you do it. Five reps looks like a good uh rep scheme for me. Three sets, five reps.
Did a bunch of negatives, so don't feel like doing one more. Um, but we'll go ahead and make it a little less intense, but we'll try to go for like uh six to eight reps or something. All right, y'all.
So, we're going to go ahead and get this last set just one more set a little more uh lower intensity and just work on that transition and then we'll go ahead and do ring rows. Uh we we'll see we'll see what we get into. Right now, I kind of want to do some lap pull downs as well, but let's go ahead and finish this set.
[Music] Baby. [Music] [Music] [Music] that you think that's [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I don't [Music] Yeah, getting a little bit little bit achy elbows. Nothing crazy, but I'm going to go ahead and stop it there.
Just wanted to get a little more feel for the movement. Let's go ahead and get some uh vertical cooling. Probably get some some uh false grip [ __ ] be honest with you, kind of want to do a lat pull down and do the false grip on there just to get that motion and then come back to the ring rows.
But you know what? Just so we won't take take down the rings. The beauty of them take them down and come back.
I'm going to do the ring rows first on here. Do a ring row normal one with the full grip into the transition and then after we finish two to three sets of that probably go more volume. So, like three three sets, 10 reps.
Then we'll go ahead and do some lat pull downs with a false grip just to practice that motion and then go right into our isolation exercises. Easy work, bro. Got different camera here.
Going to go to get the ring roll with the transitions. [Music] Wait, give you guys an amazing viewing experience. See my [Music] [Music] be one of my [Music] [Music] daily wanting to mimic the transition.
[Music] I can't do it vertically. This for me is the weakest [Music] approach. Do the movements.
Just come find a shallow volume. [Music] What we got to [Music] do pretty [Music] [Music] hard? Heat.
[Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat.
[Music] [Music] Man, that [ __ ] looks easy, but man, it's hard as hell, especially if you're not used to that goddamn poster. Holy [ __ ] bro. That was good.
So, let's go ahead and get three to four sets of that. Like I said, higher volume. Second day, higher volume, lower intensities.
That's how that's how you want to think about it. Going to get set number [Music] two. I'm going to go for eight rep, so going to make it a little bit harder.
[Music] Oh [Music] yeah. Heat. [Music] A little bit of wrist pain.
Regret that. Bad [Music] idea. Heat.
Heat. [Music] [Music] here. Anybody feel this right?
Got a runway [Music] [Music] [Music] ticket. [Music] Heat. Heat.
[Music] [Music] Damn it, boys. So, as you guys probably saw in the footage, I didn't even realize it, but this [ __ ] fell to the ground. It was completely broken.
I closed it. And looks like it still works. This is the adapter to my mic.
So, yeah. I should have not left my phone there, but [ __ ] it. It is what it is.
Let's go and see if it works. We're going to find out the mic and leg is working. Let's try it out.
We're going to know when once I start editing the [Music] video. Using that goddamn uh Octoddy. It's pretty good, but I did leave it on for a little too long.
And it's heavy with the announcer. All right, knock out the next step. [Music] [Music] slow negative kind of mimic level.
All I see is people that do it on do a slurry muscle. I'm just trying to get that [ __ ] So, I'm not trying to do it so right now. I you know [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] to girl.
[Music] God damn. All right, going to get these off. Going to go do some weights.
Probably get some no there. So, we'll do some cool pull downs for the false grip just to imitate that vertical pulling with the false grip. Combine the weights, boys.
Don't just do the calisthenic [ __ ] Combine everything. All right, let's go get it. [Music] going up here into it and then get your chest towards the opposite side of the like that big ass one more here.
You want to go boom as we're stretching riding and stretching with the should that pulling as as our elbow going up my chest the opposite way when I'm here all this [ __ ] [Music] stretching flexibility strengthening mobility is good for your scapul [Music] about 30 like [Music] that. Stretch. Stretch.
Stretch. Stretch. Boom.
Get a flight back as [Music] well. A little bit of [Music] [Music] rotation. 4 seconds.
[Music] Negative. Ah. I'm getting my flexibility while I'm doing my strength training.
That's the main thing. That means I don't have to spend as much time stretching, you know, still want to spend some time there. days more lighter [Music] on the other day by the [Music] [Music] way of My shoulder work on here.
[Music] Water. [Music] [Music] I got to add it in a different way. Get some work.
Get some work. [Music] [Music] window. Yes, sir.
[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Hallelujah. All right. [Music] look like [Music] Wow.
[Music] [Music] Hallelujah. [Music] [Music] [Music] that damage you've done to your body. You're not working that mobility movements like this.
Focus on that extra overexaggerated stretch. Super [ __ ] this stretching at it all. Need that.
Need that long that long uh long form game. I'm going to go and super set this with some pronated curls. Get that.
[Music] Yeah. Will you [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh my [ __ ] hips up. [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh [ __ ] [Music] You always want to pair up your your uh regular bicep curls with some pronated versions.
So that way you hit camera angles. So you hit your brachialis boys warm. Got to hit both of those [ __ ] Injury prevention healthy for your elbows.
Got to get all that. But regular curls is cool. You got to get that pronated.
That way you have a balance and you built the muscles. All the muscles that are protecting your elbows, elbows, shoulders, all your joints, bro. Got to take care of those [ __ ] We got 5% on the phone.
We're probably going to knock out uh these two sets. Do some rear delt. Um probably use the the pec dick.
just turn around, get some uh rear delt work there or use the dumbbells. It's a failure. Two sets and then I'll be out, boys.
So, probably not going to the phone's going to die already. Didn't charge it. It's lagging.
So, you probably won't have a a goddamn uh mindset talk after, but I'll I'll do one at the crib. We'll ride it till the wheels fall off.
