1
I hope I'm not the only one who goes through phases where I absolutely suck at like hitting goals
2
and being consistent essentially.
3
I realized that competing in the Olympia
4
and being a body builder I was going through
5
so many phases where I would get super ramped up
6
and prep be super consistent on a tight schedule a tight
7
routine everything at the same time every day doing everything I needed
8
and then I would kind of dip down right after the Olympia.
9
I'd kind of fall off
10
I'd go to the gym when I could find the time
11
but I didn't really have a routine
12
So I would often skip days not feel great
13
and I was giving myself a break And when I did
14
that a lot of other things in my life were kind of falling off
15
and then it would slowly ramp up in my offseason You know travel
16
and business and work is kind of crazy
17
And then it would get super dialed and locked in again for prep
18
And I was just realizing that I was going through these phases
19
and I was so efficient in prep
20
and then very inefficient other times of the year
21
so I wanted to take some of the habits and the mindsets
22
and the things that I applied throughout prep that made me efficient
23
and Learn how to apply them to like my day-to-day life forever consistently
24
so I kind of dove in for the last week or
25
so just like reflecting and writing down some things that I did and
26
My goal is to apply them to my life going forward forever
27
and hopefully help you guys too I'm not gonna get into too deeply
28
because I'll be sitting here for an hour
29
and I wrote a fucking lot of shit
30
But I'm gonna just tell you something to put down and maybe it'll help you first thing is a clear goal
31
Obviously at the Olympia, you know, there's nothing more clear than a fucking goal.
32
October 14th, 2024, competing at the Olympia in Las Vegas.
33
Like that's the goal.
34
I got to win the Olympia.
35
But this thing that has always stuck with me, super cheesy, and I'm not going to get into deep
36
because my mom was the one who taught it to me and you can find it online, but it's called SMART Goals.
37
It stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relatable, and time-based.
38
So specific, you need a very specific goal.
39
Not just like, I want to be strong.
40
It's like, how strong do you want to be at what date do
41
you want to be strong what lifts do you want to
42
be explosive strong do you want to be like power lifter
43
strong what are your specific goals measurable obviously be able to
44
measure it attainable has to be possible relatable has to be
45
authentic to yourself something you care about time based there has
46
to be a time based on it like i said i'm not going to get deep into
47
that because you guys can google that yourself but the big thing
48
that i wanted to touch on here
49
that i realized i applied into becoming mr olympian i think
50
really helped me drive my success in my life was instead of having a goal necessarily like a thing
51
that would end
52
and then like the Olympia would fall off afterwards it was more of an identity a sense of self
53
that I was trying to build and become someone who could complete x
54
so the way I kind of worded it
55
and I had written this down in one of the monologues I did before a prep series without even realizing
56
that was the way I think it's instead of I want
57
to win the Olympia it's the goals you could write out to be more I want to be someone who X.
58
So I want to be someone who trains consistently every single day, hits sets to failure, never skips a meal, never cheats on his diet, gets his sleep and recovery that he needs.
59
All these different things like that.
60
And I thought that was so important.
61
And a huge thing for me within that was it wasn't just the actions and the physical things you did, but your mentality, the way you think, the way you treat people and all these things.
62
Because You might think of the identity of the champion as someone who is a little bit, you know, edges on the side of arrogance, super cocky, confident.
63
And that's what winners do because a lot of people we see in the media are like that.
64
But that wasn't relatable or authentic to me.
65
So the self I wanted to betray before I was the champion was the humble, respectful champion who treated everybody the same, whether it was a former Mr. Olympia backstage,
66
a stage marshal, a security guard, whoever it might be the person the champion i wanted to be with someone who embodied
67
that respect because i knew people would be looking up to me
68
when i became this champion not only for what i did
69
but who i was and i wanted to be someone
70
that my mom and their moms would be proud of
71
if that's how they were acting
72
so the next thing I kind of dove into here was you have an identity
73
and then creating a list of things
74
and defining very specifically what those people do and this comes back to
75
that goals I want to be someone who X
76
so I want to be someone who you know what does mr. Olympia do
77
and I write that list down
78
and you know you treat people with respect you're humble you
79
go to the gym every single day whether it's to train
80
or to do active recovery to stretch to hit abs to
81
hit your accessory body parts you know you never cheat on your diet
82
and doing these things as much as possible the more you define these habits
83
and you live these habits you will naturally become the success
84
that you want to achieve so instead of chasing after
85
that goal you become the identity in the person that will naturally attract that goal
86
I think the biggest thing that people always come to me
87
and ask me when I'm doing like meet and greets and they ask me, it's always like, how do I start?
88
What do I do?
89
How do I start?
90
I have all these things, X, Y, and Z.
91
You can watch a million YouTube videos, read a million books, and sometimes you get like overwhelmed by the amount of steps that are out there.
92
And I mean, nothing matters unless you actually do it.
93
So taking action is the most important
94
and hardest part you know i've always had this mindset
95
that you are not what you think you're not who you
96
think you are you just simply are what you repeatedly do
97
so you can think positive things you can think this is
98
huge in relationships you know like i could tell my my
99
wife i think you're beautiful i think i love you i
100
just don't say it well she's not going to know
101
and feel it unless i show her with my actions
102
and it's the same in anything life
103
so taking action is the most crucial point of everything
104
and i think what people up is they get overwhelmed with too many steps
105
and things to do so this is going to be the most basic tip
106
but the most important one if you take anything away from this build an identity
107
and start fucking small to build momentum those three things are everything
108
when you break that down so for example
109
when i used to be in college i used to drink
110
three times a week get like blackout drunk go out with my friends
111
and i loved it you know i loved the social life
112
i was in college hanging out with people the only time
113
my life i had to be able to live like that
114
and I was aware of that so I didn't want to sacrifice
115
that so I did that for a period of time
116
but then I wanted to take bodybuilding more seriously I was on the edge of going pro
117
and I knew I had a lot of potential in me
118
but I knew my lifestyle was holding me back
119
but I also wasn't ready to sacrifice my social life yet
120
so instead of just telling myself all right I'm gonna stop
121
drinking stop going out go to bed at 9 p.m wake
122
up at 6 a.m do my cardio never miss a meal
123
do all these things I was like I'm eating pretty good still cheating a lot
124
because I like going out with my friends
125
and I love going out at night but I'm gonna stop drinking
126
so I still stayed out until 2 a.m every night
127
but I made one small change and that was to stop drinking
128
and just that alone waking up not hungover
129
and not wanting to eat bacon and fucking god knows what else for breakfast
130
because you're hungover and tired
131
and lazy having a bad workout horrible recovery from the alcohol
132
screwing up your system I was able to make a decent amount of progress from
133
that alone and the momentum I built from
134
that one small change encouraged me to want to make more changes
135
and eventually I stopped going out completely started to go to bed early I started to clean up my diet
136
and I started to make all these little changes that eventually that literal year was the year that I turned pro, won two pro shows and made it to the Olympia just from making these subtle changes
137
and it was huge
138
and the one change I made made this cascade effect into everything in my life
139
and I think starting small in order to build momentum
140
and being conscious that you were starting small intentionally to build momentum is huge.
141
So the goal when you're starting something especially
142
if you're fresh the goal is to be consistent not perfect
143
so create an identity define what that person does start small
144
and make your goal to pick something
145
that you can be consistent with rather than perfect I don't
146
need you achieve the whole list pick one start with that
147
and with that momentum start another one and another one
148
and another one and after a while once you're embodying these habits these actions
149
and these behaviors without even thinking of your goal anymore you're
150
going to achieve your goal as long as you're doing this like well thought out
151
and the idea with momentum is i mean as anything
152
if you're driving a car and you take your foot off the brake
153
and you roll into a wall you're going to just fucking
154
tap into the wall fuck up your car a little bit
155
if you're driving 150 miles per hour at a brick wall
156
and just fucking fly right through
157
that thing probably keep going there throughout the other side you
158
might you know get a little scratches on your car but you're still moving.
159
It doesn't stop you because you have so much momentum.
160
And that's the same thing with this.
161
After starting making those small changes when I was young and building these habits over time, I didn't even feel like it was like I was dieting.
162
I didn't feel like I was eating healthy.
163
I didn't feel like I was training hard.
164
It was just life.
165
So who I was and it was what I did.
166
So when something came in the way, whether I was in prep and it was my lat tear, my hamstring tear, 2018 when I was in the hospital, you know, last year I had a minor hamstring tear I didn't even really talk about.
167
It became the thing where it didn't even have a chance to hold me back because I had so much momentum.
168
I had such an identity attached to behaviors that I did that when something came in to stop me, I just kept rolling forward through it after.
169
So a lat tear would be something
170
that would hold me back for a little bit and I'd be immediately back on my shit, moving forward, getting better and better.
171
And I can't stress that enough, that momentum is like the secret to get through stuff because
172
when things are so habitual that you don't have to think about them, that when chaos hits in your life, whether it be personal, stressful,
173
mental, emotional, physical, your habits you don't have to think about.
174
They take less energy.
175
So you just keep moving forward, you keep getting better, better, and it's fucking everything.
176
All right, so the next little tip amongst all these are kind of the actionable steps
177
But the other thing that I realized I did without knowing it is
178
Self-talk and like personal accountability I tie these in together
179
because how you talk to yourself sometimes how you hold yourself accountable But personal accountability means you're responsible for your own life, which means you are in power You have the power to control
180
and change your life So personal accountability equals power power is the ability to do
181
or the fuck you want in your life So no one else wants you to fucking hit your goals like you do.
182
No one cares what you do beyond yourself
183
So make sure you're holding yourself accountable You're not waiting for
184
someone else to encourage you you're waiting for someone else to go to the gym Do this
185
or that you really have to hold yourself accountable
186
You know what's in the self-talk piece a little thing
187
that I This is how I label it now
188
But I wasn't intentionally doing it in purpose in the time
189
But I was always talked to myself in my head like I was a mentor talking to my apprentice, you know, there's always like
190
your thoughts in your mind
191
and then there's the thinker of the thoughts you know there's two kind of
192
when you're talking to yourself in your head there's someone talking
193
and then there's someone paying attention
194
so there's kind of two like dualistic identities inside your brain at any given time
195
and i viewed it as like a mentor who was the
196
retired six-time mr olympia talking to the amateur the apprentice who wanted to become
197
that and was embodying that and working towards that so
198
when i would talk to myself like come on champ come
199
on you want to be mr olympia like let's get after it.
200
It was like my future Mr. Olympia self talking to myself and
201
when I would be on a treadmill I'd be supposed to
202
do 30 minutes 25 minutes goes by I'm like ADD bored tired want to go eat breakfast deep
203
and prep whatever and I get off I'd get off
204
and talk to myself like come on champ like is
205
that what Mr. Olympia does is Mr. Olympia has to get
206
off five minutes before his cardio is done I'm like fuck
207
and I would drag myself back on finish my cardio and actually do it right.
208
Same thing with you know a set
209
if I'm aiming for 10 I get eight
210
and I just put the waist down I'm like what the
211
fuck like you could have gotten 10 maybe I take five minutes do another set
212
that I'm not even supposed to do to hit
213
that 10 just to hold myself accountable or I get right back on
214
and do two more three more reps just to make sure i'm hitting
215
that 10 that i was supposed to but holding yourself accountable
216
and having the proper self-talk is important
217
and i don't think this comes from shame i don't think
218
shaming yourself calling yourself a piece of like you fat fuck
219
get after it all these things i don't personally believe
220
that works at all i think if you call yourself a fat
221
and you begin to identify as a fat you will continue to act like a fat
222
so not to use fat shaming as an example at all
223
but that's a huge one that people do you know they eat bad fuck i'm
224
so fat i'm
225
so fat i'm gonna keep eating bad like no it's don't
226
shame yourself positive reinforcement talk to yourself from like a one-up
227
position in a positive form hold yourself accountable to be better
228
not to shame yourself for being worse i think that's absolutely huge positivity is massive
229
and i think so many people think driving forward from shame works
230
because it does for a period of time but
231
if you're trying to be a six-time mr olympia
232
or do something consistently i truly believe
233
that everything i I just listed a building identity a habits
234
the self accountability the positive self-talk those are the only ways to properly sustain things obviously within
235
that you know the goal of everything I'm talking about I'm trying to focus more on like mental things
236
and the mental side of things and even in the behavior something I didn't mention
237
if I was like Mr. Olympia is someone who always had
238
their head on right what does someone who has their head
239
on right do you know they self-reflect they journal they go to therapy they talk about their emotions
240
and their feelings they let things out they don't hold it all in
241
and these were all part of the identity
242
that I began to build to be create a mindset
243
that could do anything rather than just trying to accomplish one thing
244
and I think that was the most important thing
245
that I kind of naturally built over time
246
and I didn't even realize what I was doing I was just again starting small
247
and building habits creating identity around something I wanted to be knowing I wanted to be mr. Olympia
248
and embodying that next thing I knew I was fucking looking back retiring
249
and I'd done it six times and I was like wow like you did it
250
and it was pretty cool so you know there's a lot of these things
251
that I'm going to try to apply to absolutely everything in
252
my life such as you know being a good father defining what
253
that means to me being someone who you know is present
254
when his kids are around is emotionally there for his daughter
255
is you know drives into their games leads work early
256
because priorities family these little things that are important to me something
257
that I want to define so I know who I want to be
258
and I'm aware of it and then I can actually act
259
and live it out so yeah that's pretty much it
260
but essentially clear outcome clear goal google smart goals i don't need to do
261
that consistent identity define what that identity is start small build momentum
262
and just fucking create an identity be someone who x
263
and define that very specifically not i want to be jacked i want to be someone who
264
and what are the attributes that you would view as someone who is jacked use
265
that as example obviously
266
because it's easy for me to use self-talk being positive personal
267
accountability it all comes down to yourself you know i don't even repeat myself it is what it is
268
but yeah this is something that i've been personally reflecting on
269
and i just wanted to share
270
that with you guys i think you know there's a lot of lessons
271
that i learned that i didn't even understand i was learning
272
and you know there's two times to learn from something it's from the experience
273
and then from reflecting on the experience
274
and i think from reflecting on the experience is
275
when you truly are able to learn and make changes to your life going forward
276
because the greatest achievement of accomplishing your goals isn't the goal it's who you become in accomplishing those goals
277
so i want to do my best to be able to
278
share a lot of things i did hopefully help you guys move forward
279
and are they doing my self-reflection on the experience i just lived i'm going to try
280
and kind of share these little tidbits if you will with you guys so
281
sorry for the rant hope
282
that made sense i tried to i literally have like five bullet points on my phone
283
that i'm going off from a 10 minute video however long i'm talking
284
so hopefully it made sense but appreciate you guys thanks for watching

¿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.
