[Music] it's a nice ass day and I ain't let nobody [ __ ] my [ __ ] up I make me a little bit of tea hop in my old school and drive straight to St putting on some SM [ __ ] but then a song came on a real cool all right now it's nice little Tuesday which means it's going to be a pool workout in the workout of the week so mostly back focused hit a little bit of rear Del a little bit of bicep before I'm out of the gym of course finish
with some cardio since I'm still cutting down although I've been pretty happy like I just hit 180 on the scale and uh I like where my physique is hitting I want to be just just the hair tighter a little more often sometimes I mean sometimes it comes down to like what I'm eating or stress levels so you know I'm still on my macro but if I do a little too much Cool Whip and it should have been a little more protein you know I might look just a little less sharp although it could be in
my head a little bit and uh to be honest things probably fluctuate a little bit more based on stress um so days that are a little more little more hectic whatever you know I might feel that later in the day I'll be training in the gym maybe doing some posing I'm like man I just feel like my body's holding a little more water and that's normal you know so might mean I I don't necessarily go hard on the cardio I might watch the carbs a little bit that tends to help drive me out um sometimes
all sauna but I don't know man sitting in there sweating I'm like I'd rather be rather be doing some cardio or something but none nonetheless things are smooth and uh we're going to get after a nasty back workout we'll hit a little post-workout meal too so show you guys what I'm currently eating again if you're curious and didn't catch last week's video if you're curious on what I ate the majority of the time while I made my transformation I would uh recommend taking a peek at last week's video cuz that's more I say that's more
of a budget friendly approach to dieting as well since a lot of the time you know the little the little niceties and extra things I have now were not happening back back then so um that gu there and then as far as the New Year's training program challenge goes I'll uh I'm actually hashing out some details uh with the platform a little later today so probably at the end of this video or not probably but at the end of this video I'll uh I'll let you guys know what the what the 401 is on that
I think that's a term 401 with the I'll let you know what's up with the challenge so I want to do a little something special at the beginning of the new year whether you want a bulk cut the program is going to work with your nutrition so that way uh you don't feel left out if it's one or the other so that is uh that's the plan other than that I'll finish up this little pre-workout then we going to get over to the gym and do our thing I already know this is going to be

this [ __ ] here is a blessing Denver to California we take off at 9 they me how I'm feeling I'm fine man you know what I've been in my head a little bit trying to figure out how I want to end this one it's been a few days since I trained that back session and uh to recap on that and kind of the message that I sat with and and this is what I want to say focus on what you can control and understand that whatever period you're in that's what needs your attention don't
get get ahead of yourself that's what I've been doing man like you know what I'm saying things are smooth I was just just talking to my my my friend um down in Florida today you know what I mean I'm up here in Ohio doing my thing training building the app building the brand and you know this is my hometown and stuff so there's you know some family here some some friends and whatnot but when I look at myself and just where I want to be longterm you know it's not put it as way it's not
just here you know I want to have mobility and I have all this this vision for what I want to do and there's you know plays I'm making and waiting for a couple things to play out and then it's like boom then I can be here and here and like in my mind I'm living in that right and it can be great because it's a great energy when you have a vision of where you want to go it you know that's how I've done some of the things I've done um but at the same time
it's that you got to have that at Le at least for my own sanity I look at it like I got to have that patience and presence to be here and be okay with hey this is the the season I'm in even if it's coming to an end even if I can see the next season on the horizon I got to embrace this season cuz as soon as I start getting too ahead of myself I start getting frustrated I start making mistakes I start being less present you know I can tell my my energy shifts
a little bit and and some of that's okay cuz some of that pushes you into the next thing but man too much of that like you know when you're when you're too far off your Baseline you know only you know but um you know you could usually feel it and I kind of been I kind of been in that like I said the last couple days but it relates to even in training you know focus on what you can control be present you know when it comes to hypertrophy and even strength training it's like uh
the weight you're using you know I go back and forth with some of you on uh on like Instagram if you ever shoot me Instagram and you have like an in-depth question you'll probably realize a lot of times I just send a voice memo back and uh I like that you know what I mean I like that kind of communication so if you ever want to hit me up on there where you're in the training app sometimes I'll send just video responses back to you uh you know opens up the dialogue a little bit um
so just a little note on that but uh I was talking to a few of you this week on this and it's you know talking about like form and how much weight you should be using man it's really about what you can control it's not like yes over time you want to increase in weight in your compound lifts you know so like today I don't want to just be doing or the other day I don't want to just be doing four plates on that on that land mine row I want to incrementally okay let me
add a 10 to this and then see if I can perform you know the the rep range at the appropriate you know stopping at the appropriate rep shy of failure or or roughly there but I can can I keep good form with 10 more pounds can I keep good form with 20 more pounds you know is it too heavy do I need to drop back of set but the importance is I'm going through the 4in motion I'm putting a stretch on the muscle I'm targeting you know I'm getting a good stretch on my lats whatever
it is you're training and then you know I'm controlling the entire rep not just the pool but also the the release that stretch again that's where a lot of damage is done to the muscle which is how it gets stronger that's how you it's how you build from what I've seen there's even a slight increase in the effect on hypertrophy on that the negative or that lengthening of a muscle than there is when it's Contracting so it's like you know those those little lessons I guess it's kind of like a a mini version of what
I'm what I'm trying to to go into but I noticed like a lot of our conversations too are just not just in the gym or with your nutrition but just elevating in general how to kind of keep that mindset um and I man I really enjoy talking with you guys it allows me to reflect on myself as well so it's uh that I mean that's that's where it's at it's that it's that like fine line you got to find of I'm hungry and I'm not comfortable and I'm a little pissed off about it but at
the same time be aware enough and be patient enough to be present in the moment and go you know what I got a lot of blessings right now you know what I may not be where I want to be in terms of my vision whether it's you know physically financially emotionally you know relationship wise where you're located where you're living like whatever it is man you know what I mean get be hungry for that cuz I think that that hunger is and that inspiration in that drive can be used to build discipline and it's a
very beautiful thing but you know remember hey there's still a lot of you you still have a lot of things to be grateful for if you just take the time and and be present in grateful for cuz at some point you know I want to see us I want to see us all succeed so it's like I'm a believer that in my vision I will get there you know the same way when you guys talk with me it's like I believe you're going to get there and all of us will get there and at and
at some point we're there and we're no longer here you know and even if here is a tough situation like you know I've been through periods where I was just not you know I didn't have nearly as many things going for me right and there's still like I'm happy I'm past that but there's still like a level of I appreciate that because that built me into who I am now because I was present and aware and that I was able to take as many lessons as I could from that period and and you know take
them with me into you know whatever is the the kind of the next phase or the next chapter so just just some talk on just man trying to trying to be present through it all trying to focus on what you can control you know and and that's that's really that's all I got I was I was getting going today man it was just one of one of those days but I uh hope hopefully that helps a little bit wherever you're at you know what I mean whatever you're striving for man cuz I want to see
all y'all succeed as well cuz uh we got to get to it man there's no other option there's too much room to elevate to not do it but we got to be present at the same time at least I believe that so that's the that's the back session that's kind of what I've been eating post-workout cuz it's it's simple as heck and uh I'm quick with it if I didn't have the meal prep again I would just look for something like even that I could do a little more carbs so on days I have more
carbs I'll have a half a sweet potato with that so then instead of like 30 G of carbs it's closer to like 80 85 um and something like a sweet potato is fast digesting so that's what I want I want protein that I'm going to digest relatively fast but just well and then I want some kind of carb that I can digest fast like that tortilla hits me pretty quick um just a faster digesting carb so I'm smooth with that even though it's only 30 G of carbs which is a little low again um but
that's kind of how I plan my post-workout meal what can I what can I have on hand too you know what I mean cuz it's like that's another thing especially if you're dieting you come back from the gym and it's like like you open that fridge just you got to be careful cuz it can get a little out of hand you know if you don't have the proper options but if you have something that's on your diet either pre-cooked prepackaged or easy enough to assemble that you're not worried about yourself snacking on other things outside
of that then you're smooth and then uh I do a little like if I'm still hungry after it cuz sometimes man I get back from the gym especially cutting right now I'm like I eat and I'm like I could eat that again for sure I could just eat that whole meal again but I know I shouldn't cuz then you know I might have like 500 calories left the rest of the day so what I do and I will show you it but I'm I'm out as of this morning but I'll do uh this little company
called Zia it's they just make diet sodas but those are pretty good they have these little diet root beers man and uh honestly if I can make it to the store tonight I'm going to pick more up cuz that is my jam you know zero calories and then because it's a carbonated beverage especially if I eat a little something before and then I drink it I don't even really have a room like I might still be hungry but I'm like no I'm going to feel like bloated or weird if I try to eat more more
because that carbonation kind of fills fills me up pretty good so a little bit of game there if you're uh especially if you're dieting and you know just plant ahead and then hit the Little D of soda if you feel like you eat and then you want dessert or you want like a little snack then just grab a d of soda and grab two you know if you need two because that's that's zero calories and a little bit of little bit of uh carbonation build up in you it's going to be a heck of a
lot better than going over budget on your calories on a a consistent basis so that's uh that's all I got for you on that I appreciate you guys watching listening listening commenting uh you know our conversations we have in DMS and all that man it's uh it's smooth you know I really do I really I am grateful for that let me put it that way so I'll uh I'll see you guys after the holidays probably a little bit before New Year's I have some more details on the challenge that'll start January 6th on the app
and uh yeah it's going to be smoo I'm going to do I'm going to do a little giveaway maybe like $1,000 giveaway for that one uh for the winners so details on that in the next video I appreciate you guys watching have a beautiful holiday and uh I'll see you in the next video
