6.58 am.
2
Alright, breakfast.
3
We're going to add some oats.
4
Pour in a decent amount.
5
Alright, that looks about good.
6
Now we're going to take some brown sugar to give it some flavor.
7
Mmm, one more.
8
Okay.
9
Alright, that looks good and now we're going to add some Nutella.
10
Look at that.
11
Mix it with some water and there you go.
12
Stir it up.
13
And that's breakfast right there.
14
Oats, brown sugar and Nutella.
15
I'm going to eat this whole thing and I'm going to eat two kiwis to get some fruits in.
16
Up, that's one, rest, ready, down, and do you watch this?
17
Two pushups, rest, that's perfect.
18
Okay, nice to meet you.
19
Ready, up, up, chest up to the ceilings.
20
Hold up, hold up, hold it, and down.
21
Good, that was one of the front, very good.
22
The End
23
I'm sorry.
24
Outro Music so so I'm
25
going to go to the next one.
26
Alright, I just got back from school.
27
I wasn't able to finish my meal, but I'm going to finish that now.
28
And they also gave me a little school lunch.
29
It's a bagged peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
30
I've never seen that before, but they also gave me some Diana Ball yogurt.
31
Pre-workout meal is this peanut butter and jelly, one scoop of Syntho 6, and a banana.
32
And, of course, I couldn't finish the banana.
33
Alright, I'm in the gym, and today's a pull day.
34
And the goal for the workout was hit a 545 heavy single deadlift, followed by three back offsets of five.
35
And the biggest problem during today's workout was my hip abductors were bugging me really, really bad.
36
And that's because in gym class, when I played badminton, all the moving around the court really fast, that really, really, really aggravated them.
37
So, like, right after gym class, I was able to tell, like, wow, this is really going to be a problem.
38
I probably shouldn't have done this and I basically knew that my workout was in major jeopardy.
39
So I did a lot of stretching at home.
40
I stretched a lot in the gym which I didn't film but everything up to 315 felt relatively decent.
41
And here I'm about to pull 405 and right after I pulled
42
that 405 that's
43
when I know like wow this feels really uncomfortable this is nagging me I could potentially injure myself
44
so I didn't feel good after that 405
45
but I really really wanted to keep going so after this 405
46
which was heavy and difficult I put on 455 I hit
47
that and then right after that 455 that's
48
when I realized yeah there's no chance there's no point in
49
going heavier I could have like worked up even more but it was just been so uncomfortable there was just no point, like no point of risking the injury.
50
So, and also the three sets of five wasn't going to happen.
51
Anything sumo deadlift today wasn't going to happen.
52
So here I wanted to do 405 for 20 touch and go with a belt.
53
And as you see, that did not happen at all.
54
That 405 is way heavier than it should have been.
55
So right now I'm just going to do a bunch of accessories to at least get something out of this workout.
56
Rhythm is a dancer, it's a soul's companion People feel it everywhere Lift your hands and voices,
57

61

63
Rhythm is a dancer, it's a soul's companion People feel it everywhere Lift your hands and voices,
64
free your mind and join us You can feel it in the air Oh-oh-oh
65
It's impossible Oh-oh-oh You can feel it in the air Oh-oh-oh It's impossible Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh
66
You're in a minute, you're in a minute It's insensible to murder You don't feed it everywhere I'm not your eyes,
67
my voice Free up of my enormous, can feel it in me again Oh,
68
it's a passion, oh, oh, oh Do it with your faith in me,
69
oh, oh It's a passion,
70
oh, oh This is the love of my life Alright,
71
I just got back from the gym like three hours ago I stayed there a little longer than I wanted to.
72
I was talking to a few people.
73
But anyway, here is my last meal before I go to bed.
74
I have two burgers, some pasta, that banana that I didn't finish, some white grape juice, and some water.
75
It's kind of funny.
76
If I wasn't making this video right now, I would not have eaten this meal.
77
I would have came home.
78
I would have just went directly to bed after my shower because I'd have been so tired.
79
But since I'm making a video, I'm trying to improve myself.
80
So here's this meal.
81
I'm dead asleep right now, but I'm still gonna find a way to finish it So yeah, this essentially shows a full day of eating of mine This is how I've been eating lately.
82
Typically, I'd say this is a pretty accurate representation on the amount of food The quantity of food
83
that I've been eating
84
and I recognize it's simply not enough like what I ate
85
today It's not enough food for me personally for my goals for me to bulk and to make progress.
86
So Just because this is how I ate today.
87
This doesn't mean that I'm doing things right I need to eat more food.
88
You know what, I'm taking a spoon of olive oil before I go to bed too now that I think about it.
89
I just remember that.
90
Last thing before I go, if you have any video suggestions, anything you'd like to see from this channel, any kind of videos, any new things in videos, anything like that, just any feedback,
91
any suggestions, whatever you guys want to say, just leave it in the comments below and I'm going to read all the comments.
92
I'm going to do my best to answer your guys' questions.
93
So yeah, just let me know what you want.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
