  1. 0:29For one, that's really crazy because
  2. 0:33almost as good as you can
  3. 0:35you know, that's how your body works, so
  4. 0:37that's why
  5. 0:39she wears it out.
  6. 0:43tighten it.
  7. 0:45And then
  8. 0:49That's why I didn't see it.
  9. 0:53When you're not in the seat.
  10. 0:57Don't worry.
  11. 0:58Today I'm trying to treat it a little
  12. 0:59different.
  13. 1:00I woke up and I told myself
  14. 1:03I don't care how the video comes out.
  15. 1:05I'm not I'm done scripting. I'm done
  16. 1:08thinking of head of like what I'm doing.
  17. 1:10I'm genuinely just going to pick up the
  18. 1:12camera when I think there is a
  19. 1:13meaningful moment to record.
  20. 1:17I'm on the way over to Hayden's house
  21. 1:19and
  22. 1:20I don't know why I've been thinking
  23. 1:21about making a video videos for so long
  24. 1:24now. I've been trying to
  25. 1:26and it seems like everything's going to
  26. 1:28go so right and then as soon as I pick
  27. 1:30up the camera, it just all feels so
  28. 1:32uncomfortable. I get nervous and it just
  29. 1:35feels like I have to say something
  30. 1:36profound or like something meaningful
  31. 1:39when I
  32. 1:40really need to be recording this. Like I
  33. 1:43I'm struggling right now to even face
  34. 1:44the camera, but I'm doing this cuz I
  35. 1:47really want this to work out. I don't
  36. 1:49know if it will,
  37. 1:51but I know that if I don't try, I'm
  38. 1:53going to be really really disappointed
  39. 1:55in myself.
  40. 1:57I'm just going to bring you guys with me
  41. 1:58today. If something interesting happens,
  42. 2:00then cool, something happens. If not,
  43. 2:03I can stop stressing about not having
  44. 2:05any videos out and just be fulfilled
  45. 2:07with recording a video hopefully
  46. 2:09stress-free. I just
  47. 2:11I just want to be able to talk to you
  48. 2:13guys, like I said, as if you were one of
  49. 2:14my friends.
  50. 2:19It is freaking beautiful today.
  51. 2:22There they are.
  52. 2:24Arena, the boys on the deck. I don't
  53. 2:27know if you see them. Hey, they're
  54. 2:29ripping the shed.
  55. 2:36What's up?
  56. 2:38>> Hey.
  57. 2:39>> Yo, say what up to the YouTube.
  58. 2:42Where's your glasses, sir?
  59. 2:43>> Glasses acquired.
  60. 2:45>> Yes, sir.
  61. 2:45>> Hey, bro, it is so nice out.
  62. 2:47>> Leaving the bro's house. Tried as hard
  63. 2:50as I could to convince Hayden to come
  64. 2:52lift with us, but he's going to chat
  65. 2:54out.
  66. 2:56All right, we are here. I uh I almost
  67. 2:58convinced myself from not recording
  68. 3:00today. Not because I didn't have time,
  69. 3:02but just because I simply thought I I
  70. 3:04didn't think I had anything meaningful
  71. 3:05to say.
  72. 3:07But then I realized that probably is
  73. 3:08what's keeping a lot of people from
  74. 3:10doing anything we want to do.
  75. 3:12I always think I need some kind of crazy
  76. 3:14motivational speech or something
  77. 3:16prepared before I start pressing record,
  78. 3:19and that just makes my mind start
  79. 3:20rushing. And then when I do actually
  80. 3:22record it, it just feels like I'm
  81. 3:23performing.
  82. 3:25Well, the uh the truth is I'm just I'm
  83. 3:27trying to figure out my life right now
  84. 3:29as it is. I'm I'm working a job I don't
  85. 3:32want to work much longer at all. I'm
  86. 3:35trying to build a physique that I've
  87. 3:36never had before.
  88. 3:38I'm trying to build something online
  89. 3:40that I've never had experience with,
  90. 3:42long-form content. It's just really
  91. 3:44stressful kind of figuring it all out.
  92. 3:46And most days it just feels like I don't
  93. 3:48even know if it's all going to work out.
  94. 3:50And that just eats me alive, but
  95. 3:52that's why I love the gym so much. You
  96. 3:54get what you put in. I just I wish that
  97. 3:56applied to all forms of life.
  98. 3:59That's right.
  99. 4:01That's right. We're here.
  100. 4:03Let's get it.
  101. 4:04Just got here, and the gym is literally
  102. 4:07empty. I've never seen it this empty
  103. 4:10before.
  104. 4:11It's like midday, too, which is the
  105. 4:12weird thing. I've like actually never
  106. 4:14seen this.
  107. 4:16I've been working out here for a long
  108. 4:17time.
  109. 4:18This is a very rare thing. It is really
  110. 4:20hot and nice outside, so people are
  111. 4:22probably actually enjoying their summer,
  112. 4:24but
  113. 4:25I've got work, so I can't do that.
  114. 4:28Anyways, we're about to take some pre.
  115. 4:30>> [music]
  116. 4:32>> Dry scoop it up. I am quitting Zoa right
  117. 4:35now, so
  118. 4:36try not to take any caffeine past like
  119. 4:383:00.
  120. 4:40Sleeping will just not be a thing.
  121. 4:42Cheers.
  122. 4:50Oh.
  123. 4:53That was chunky as [ __ ]
  124. 4:55If you're confused,
  125. 4:56you're on a [ __ ] drinking powder.
  126. 4:58I was just hitting a little
  127. 5:01I've switched up my split for the first
  128. 5:02time in a
  129. 5:04I think like 2 years now. I have been
  130. 5:06doing Wait, that's a lie. That's a lie.
  131. 5:08I've been doing upper lower for about a
  132. 5:10year now, and
  133. 5:13I don't really know what it was, but
  134. 5:14then I just was like, "You know what? I
  135. 5:15I haven't changed around my split in so
  136. 5:17long."
  137. 5:19So, I'm just going back to the old roots
  138. 5:20of push, pull, legs, and I'm really,
  139. 5:22really excited. Anyways,
  140. 5:24I think I'm going to have to check my
  141. 5:26notes, but I think we start [music] with
  142. 5:27incline press.
  143. 5:29Strength has gone down exponentially.
  144. 5:33Don't be uh looking forward to any kinds
  145. 5:35of crazy lifts.
  146. 5:38More so hoping the pump can make up for
  147. 5:40that.
  148. 5:41Still going to be putting in max effort.
  149. 5:43You'll see what it looks like when I go
  150. 5:44to failure. I'm so excited to just shove
  151. 5:47my mouth full. I'm really debating
  152. 5:49whether I want to
  153. 5:51I know I'm going to keep it clean, but
  154. 5:53full out track my calories or just
  155. 5:56[ __ ] just eat as much as possible. I
  156. 5:58know it's probably not the move, but
  157. 6:01I just put on so much mass last time I
  158. 6:03did that.
  159. 6:04You guys let me know down in the
  160. 6:05comments which you think is more uh
  161. 6:06responsible.
  162. 6:08Anyways, I'm going to throw it on a
  163. 6:09plate.
  164. 6:10See how it feels.
  165. 6:18Feels pretty good.
  166. 6:21I'm going to stay [ __ ] brown 35. I
  167. 6:23hope it's not too much.
  168. 6:25Remember, I'm 163 lb right now, okay?
  169. 6:32>> [music]
  170. 6:42[music]
  171. 6:50[music]
  172. 6:55>> Connection terminated.
  173. 6:57I'm sorry to interrupt [music] you,
  174. 6:58Elizabeth, if you still even remember
  175. 7:00that name,
  176. 7:02but I'm afraid you've been misinformed.
  177. 7:03[music]
  178. 7:04You are not here to receive a gift, nor
  179. 7:07have you been called here by [music] the
  180. 7:08individual you assume,
  181. 7:10although you have indeed been called.
  182. 7:13You have all been called
  183. 7:15into a labyrinth of sounds and smells,
  184. 7:17misdirection, and misfortune. A
  185. 7:20labyrinth with no exit, a maze [music]
  186. 7:22with no prize.
  187. 7:23>> There he is.
  188. 7:24>> even realize you're trapped.
  189. 7:27>> [music]
  190. 7:27>> You think I wanted to become this?
  191. 7:30You think I woke up one day and chose to
  192. 7:32carry all this weight?
  193. 7:34I wanted a normal life, to laugh without
  194. 7:38guilt, to breathe [music] without
  195. 7:40feeling like the world was closing in.
  196. 7:43But that wasn't an option.
  197. 7:45Not for me.
  198. 7:47Not for any of us.
  199. 7:49From the moment I opened my eyes,
  200. 7:51everything [music] was a fight.
  201. 7:53Every dream I had crushed under someone
  202. 7:55else's boot. They told us to wait, to
  203. 7:58hope, to trust [music] the world would
  204. 8:00change on its own.
  205. 8:02But it didn't.
  206. 8:03So I changed.
  207. 8:05I did what had to be done, [music]
  208. 8:06even when it broke me.
  209. 8:08Even when it made people I loved look at
  210. 8:10me like a stranger.
  211. 8:12I never wanted to be feared. [music]
  212. 8:14But I'd rather be hated and free than
  213. 8:17loved [music] and caged. You see a
  214. 8:19monster. I see a man who finally said
  215. 8:22enough. Enough of dying [music] quietly.
  216. 8:26Enough of waiting to be saved. So I
  217. 8:29became [music] the storm. Not because I
  218. 8:32wanted to, but because the world gave me
  219. 8:35no other choice.
  220. 8:36And if that makes me the villain, fine.
  221. 8:40>> [music]
  222. 8:40>> But don't act like you would have done
  223. 8:42anything different.
  224. 8:52>> [music]
  225. 9:01[music]
  226. 9:09[music]
  227. 9:17[music]
  228. 9:22[music]
  229. 9:26[music]
  230. 9:35[music]
  231. 9:41[music]
  232. 9:45>> Ladies and gentlemen
  233. 9:47What?
  234. 9:51Bro, my phone is literally out of
  235. 9:52storage. I'll try to get a I'm literally
  236. 9:54completely out of iPhone storage. I keep
  237. 9:56on [ __ ] trying to get a clip check
  238. 9:58in. I probably don't even have a pump
  239. 9:59anymore.
  240. 10:00I just need to buy a [ __ ] camera,
  241. 10:02bro. My phone is not cutting it anymore.
  242. 10:07I would say I'm definitely leaner
  243. 10:11than last video.
  244. 10:15I don't know. You guys tell me. Is the
  245. 10:16uh
  246. 10:17fat for strength trade-off worth it?
  247. 10:20Is this cool enough?
  248. 10:22That was honestly an amazing workout. My
  249. 10:24pump was exactly what I was hoping for.
  250. 10:27Although I couldn't even [ __ ] record
  251. 10:28it cuz I'm running out of space. I just
  252. 10:30had to delete YouTube so that I'd have
  253. 10:33enough storage just to film this. Uh I'm
  254. 10:35going to finish I'm going to try to
  255. 10:36figure it out when I'm break at work.
  256. 10:38See if I can clear up any more storage,
  257. 10:39but I think I'm genuinely just going to
  258. 10:41have to like buy a camera for this,
  259. 10:43which I really
  260. 10:45other than the money wouldn't mind.
  261. 10:47Cuz then I could just hook it straight
  262. 10:48up to my PC. It would make editing so
  263. 10:50much easier, but
  264. 10:51anyways,
  265. 10:53>> [clears throat]
  266. 10:53>> now that we're done with that awesome
  267. 10:54workout, I am going to clock in to the
  268. 10:56hell shift.

  270. 11:00work, so I'm going to keep my hopes up
  271. 11:02and hopefully hopefully it goes by

  278. 11:15know, but I work in a kitchen, so
  279. 11:18not like I mean it's physically
  280. 11:20demanding, but like mentally
  281. 11:22[ __ ] is stressful.
  282. 11:24It's a lot of [ __ ] to forget about and
  283. 11:26[ __ ] up,
  284. 11:27but it's all good.
