Creando lección...
1
I remember when I used to be your daughter, writing songs like this, giving them all to you, to you, to you.
2
I remember every single time you didn't have my back, we didn't have my warm eyes, I said that I'm not regretting songs like this,
3
giving them all to you, to you.
4
So we just got to my hotel.
5
I've literally never been in a hotel like this before it's
6
kind of like they said it was like a bungalow setup
7
on the inside it kind of has like your typical bed your bathroom your little desk
8
but the ceilings are just stupid high and what makes it unique is
9
that when you open the door you're basically outside i thought
10
that was pretty cool
11
but the reason i'm in los angeles right now i've been here like quite a few times recently
12
and this time around it's for a photo shoot with jim
13
shark with mr chris bumpstead we're going to be shooting i
14
believe the day after tomorrow it's going to be for the new legacy line
15
which is i think some of this stuff
16
so that's gonna be pretty cool
17
and right now I'm pretty much gonna meet up with him we're gonna get some food
18
because I'm starving I haven't eaten since like I don't even remember the last time I've eaten up
19
so I'm here with my boyfriend Chris Bumstead date night in LA we're going to this uh steakhouse
20
that he recommended he literally said like this is the supreme fucking location to go to
21
if you're in LA
22
if it doesn't lead up to expectations building way more hype
23
than I than I put out there I said it might be good
24
because my uber driver suggested it and David asked me on a date
25
so you know he's buying for it also for people for
26
those of you on my channel who may not know Chris Bumstead is virtually men's physique no not men's physique
27
classic physique Olympia champion he's literally he's like
28
that close he's second place not quite there yet are you
29
gonna be there do you have plans I have plans for it I do I don't know when but it'll happen
30
it is bright today not anymore i'm in the shade 9am
31
woke up let's go get some breakfast what do champions eat for breakfast ketchup
32
and onions is this gonna win you the fucking olympia ketchup
33
and onions they get fucking juicy just ketchup onion
34
and a banana do you even get eggs no this is
35
what second place guests are here some fucking brown sugar some watch
36
that oatmeal eggs and like these synthetic sausage patties i don't know i really don't know
37
we'll find out i need you to explain to me again these synthetic powdered just eggs are made like
38
so 90 percent of hotels what people don't know is they don't have just eggs
39
that they have put into a big bowl
40
and mash it up they literally buy like a i don't know what
41
that word is but like like an astronaut he's like in space
42
but it's a powdered egg you literally just add water to it like milk
43
and butter and stuff and just like mix it up
44
and then they add expired pancake batter to it like i hope i hope pancake batter into their omelet
45
so that it's so fluffy and tastes so good
46
and that's why there's like a two egg omelet is like 1500 calories
47
so we're essentially taking like three years off our life just eating
48
that approximately i've decided to not eat these eggs this oatmeal is all right
49
but i just don't want to eat it take the fruit the sausage patties and And sebum, he just fucking ate everything like a fucking rhinoceros.
50
Come on. Did I do it?
51
Nope.
52
That doesn't count?
53
That doesn't count.
54
No, it's got to be face down.
55
What?
56
It's got to be face down.
57
It's got to be face down.
58
It's a fucking knife.
59
I mean, your thumbs.
60
Nope.
61
It's close.
62
I'll do it super slow.
63
You just put it like this.
64
You just start here.
65
I'll do it so slow you take it and you rotate it down
66
and one done fast looks like
67
that it's real slow just spin it around take it for
68
a ride big man come on give it a spin I
69
have no head -eye coordination for the bullshit oh holy shit you know no one's ever fucking gotten
70
that without me having to literally walk through it like baby
71
steps magic we're gonna have to step it up a notch we need a pack of cards all right
72
so because of
73
that fucking zero out of time breakfast we're gonna stop by
74
Whole Foods get some real nutritional whole food dude this apple
75

76

79
This is great for your immune system.
80
I want you to keep a James Bond straight fucking alpha face, right?

82
How fucking bad is it?
83
Do you already take it today?
84
Yeah, I'll take it again if you want me to.
85
Do you want to put it on my tongue?
86
Anywhere, you got to swish it around your mouth kill all the bacteria.
87
Bullshit, I swallow it, right?
88
No, you swallow it, but not right away.
89
Let it marinate for a second.
90
Let it sit there.
91
Why?
92
Just experience it.
93
Swoosh it, swoosh it.
94
Delicious.
95

96
How delicious is it? Is it that bad?
97
Oh my fk It's like spicy I take this shit recreationally Wow Yeah,
98

99
You don't mind your trunks and satellite.
100
I guess I'm crying out with the oil of oregano.
101
My eyes are burning.
102
Fuck.
103
That shit used to be like half the size of that, now it's like a fourth.
104
It's just kind of chunky.
105
spectacular thank you
106
but we're at the iconic whole foods right now in venice
107
got a bunch of fucking clean palm tree action everywhere i
108
got a bunch of tables outside there's a whole court in there with a bunch of organic shit
109
that i'll show you we're gonna get that and we're gonna eat out here
110
mmm look at this oh god there's one Whole Foods at
111
my house like by my house it's an hour away
112
and it's a very sad situation I might move to LA literally just for all this fucking healthy shit
113
let me just describe the situation right chris is just sitting
114
out here like he has a good understanding of the surroundings around him he knows he's in los angeles
115
that gravity still works how it's supposed to he's eating his
116
salad he's on his phone talking to his friends everything's great
117
like you have a conceptualization of reality right now that's about
118
to be fucking shattered into a million little pieces directly in
119
front of you right now i don't want you to be
120
traumatized i don't want you to scream i don't you want to make any loud profound noises Just, just experience it
121
We're, we're having a difficult spectator Everyone, I just want to let you know You want me to sign it?
122
Yeah, I want you to sign it You need to take the deck, examine it, shuffle it You need to fucking shuffle it, right?
123
Right here, let me sit Okay, hold the camera, grab the camera You see his card right here?
124
It's the seven of spades.
125
It's been signed with Mr. Bumstead's beautiful little signature.
126
Now, I'm going to need your shake and coffee.
127
So here, let's just...
128
Well, you know what?
129
Do you have your wallet on yet?
130
Beautiful alligator skin wallet.
131
Chris has no issue killing alligators.
132
I'm like fucking morally posturing eating his clean salad right here.
133
But it's cool.
134
We're going to open this wallet up.
135
I'm going to take the seven of spades.
136
And I'm going to fold it in half.
137
I'm going to fold it in half again, then I'm going to take this little pouch in here, which is custom made just to take this card,
138
close it up, and I'm going to put it with the Gucci wallet,
139
put the shaker bottle, I want you to do me the honors of uncapping that Sharpie right there.
140
Be a gentleman and cap that for me please.
141
So we have an ace of hearts with a DL, right?
142
I'm going to take that ace.
143
Now, I'm going to remove the camera, right?
144
I'd like you to open up your wallet and take a peek.
145
Was that the same card?
146
Yeah, it was the same fucking card.
147
What do you mean?
148
Yeah, it was how I put my DL there.
149
Are you paying attention?
150
I was, but I kind of forgot, I'm overwhelmed, okay?
151
I don't like magic.
152
Mmm.
153
It scared me.
154
Don't be checking that deck out there, Chris.
155
I'll be checking it.
156
What if I found another eighth of hearts with a BL on it?
157
You could, but you won't because it's fucking magic and Harry Potter doesn't slip up like that.
158
Daniel Radcliffe taught me himself.
159
All magic aside, I got this just fucking epic salad.
160
Last time I was in LA, I went to Whole Foods a few times.
161
And just getting these just nutritionally clusterfucked dense salads just like, just fills up my soul, which is happiness and peace.
162
Then you have Mr. Bumstead with his happiness and peace right there.
163
The skeptic trying to contemplate how I do all my magic, trying to figure me out.
164
I was trying to figure out the trick.
165
He's a fucking hater.
166
We're just going to give an update to everyone what just happened.
167
Can you please give a quick narrative, a quick summary of everything that's happened up to this point?
168
He told me to pick a number.
169
I picked number seven.
170
He said, grab my wrist.
171
Alright.
172
I want you to squeeze it real tight, right?
173
I want you to take your other hand and also squeeze my wrist tight, both of them.
174
I want you to close your eyes.
175
Close your eyes.
176
I want you to visualize the number seven, not from a numerical perspective, but how it looks.
177
Just the shape of it.
178
The line and then the 45 degree debatable line that just slashes at the side.
179
That's like 1 .7 times the size of the first line.
180
And just really visualize.
181
And think red.
182
Just bloody, bloody red.
183
Now squeeze hard.
184
Visualize seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven.
185
Seven, let go.
186
Let go.
187
You see that, Mr. Bumstead?
188
I do.
189
They're even like lying that way.
190
It's like the proper old school seven.
191
Are you gonna be like flat and small in the gym today?
192
Are you gonna be like big and impressive and like intimidate Calum
193
and Moeber and all like the fucking cool kids in the gold gym? flat, super small, very skinny, a little bit chubby, not muscular, weak, it's gonna be stronger than me.
194
That could be mitigated by like a proper pre -workout, what do you need?
195
What can you take today to look bigger than Frank Zane in his prime?
196
What?
197
You gotta go spend like an hour in the salt ocean, salt water, just let it seep into your pores so you get that sodium, drink water with salt in it.
198
Why don't we just get two cups of coffee? And sodium.
199
It's not gonna dry you out though, I've been in like a salt water pool.
200
Drinking water.
201
I don't believe it really works like that much.
202
You don't got a lot of belief, Chris.
203
I have no belief in any bullshit.
204
You need more faith.
205
I'm a simple man.
206
What I know works.
207
That's it.
208
That's a form of belief.
209
Fair enough.
210
What is, um...
211
What is this bulletproof coffee place?
212
Everyone should know what bulletproof is.
213
I don't know how you know.
214
Wait, everyone knows but me, you're saying?
215
Yeah.
216
It's so trendy lately.
217
So for me and like the three other people watching this video that don't know what it is, can you explain it?
218
No, it's two other people.
219
Two other people.
220
They put this brain octane is what they call it.
221
Like empty tea oils with like medium chain triglycerides into your coffee.
222
And some butter as well, I believe they put ghee butter or something into it.
223
Just some healthy fats and high caffeine just to kind of keep your brain focused and give you some energy.
224
That's very interesting.
225
We're going to give this a review.
226
it's pretty it's like black but I was like butter and weird shit in here tastes pretty good
227
I don't think it's black box you see that what
228
if it's all like the butter and the medium chain triglycerides like my coffee every day at home it's hidden black
229
i luckily
230
that bulletproof coffee thing shop thingy thing bulletproof something it's like
231
walking distance from gold here we are the most iconic gym
232
on the planet we're gonna go inside what are we gonna
233
hit today we wanna play around with some calves yeah Don't show them.
234
Don't look.
235
Don't look down there.
236
No, we're not hitting some calves.
237
We're going to hit some shoulders, and we're going to go all out on the seat of shoulder press.
238
Now, see, Chris, he has this huge issue where back where he trains at home in Ottawa, whatever fucking gym he goes to, they don't have dumbbells above 100,
239
so he has to stick with these light -ass 100s.
240
He just bangs them out for 20, and he's not even exhausted, and it's kind of boring.
241
He's on his phone with his third hand while he's on there.
242
It's just really shitty and stuff, but now we're in golds, and they clearly have dumbbells that go over 100, So we're gonna push him to the limit and see what he can press around.
243
I'm not ready for this, but 200s for 5s?
244
I just got called out, so 200s.
245
They don't have 200s here, thank God.
246
They don't?
247
I think it only looks like 140 maybe?
248
All right, so we just secured a bench over here.
249
He's all snapped up and shit.
250
He's got to warm up his shoulders, do some weird rotator cuff exercises.
251
Luckily for me, despite all my back injuries and stuff like that, shoulders is the one part that's pretty much always been healthy for me.
252
I'm good to go.
253
After his warm -up, we're about to flap some heavy shit around.
254
Alright, little man, do your warm -ups.
255
Do your little fucking five -pound...
256
I'm literally...
257
All I need to do is some pull -ups.
258
I just pry my last, and I'm good.
259
Alright, let's do some pull -ups.
260
We'll be right back.
261
Let's go.
262
We'll be right back.
263
Let's go.
264
like i feel we should just get something right now like fucking like what like
265
if you want sushi later i've been this whole time i got all your secrets on tape
266
and we're back the same old cheesecake
267
that we were at yesterday i'm just going to get steak an insane amount of rice some sweet potato fries
268
and chris is probably going to get the same shit
269
so like realistically like what do you think the chances of you like winning next year
270
or like this year this year yeah depends how the prep goes
271
and if i stay healthy like that bullshit didn't happen like last year
272
so you've done the olympia twice came second twice the same person won both times
273
but last year you got really sick with an autoimmune disease
274
and that kind of like how premium you could have came in on stage oh yeah
275
because four weeks out i was like in the hospital
276
and like holding on to like 15 pounds of water one thing
277
that like differentiates you like two things
278
that differentiates you between pretty much everyone else in the classic
279
physique stages one you're like drastically younger than everyone else like
280
that who came in first you said he's like 39
281
or some shit like he's old like 38
282
or 39 yeah damn he's a he's an old buck
283
and two what differentiates you is
284
that like you don't really like give a fuck in the sense
285
that you don't have this crazy like hyper bodybuilding ego like
286
everyone else you kind of say giggle it off kind of
287
super fun like everyone's like i have like whatever i put my effort into i'm going to put my all
288
and fucking i'm only going to do something to try to win it
289
but it wasn't like i grew up like Reading bodybuilding magazine
290
posters on my walls like all these guys like I didn't
291
even know who any bodybuilders until I was like 19 Huh
292
like to remember you were saying like how like right now
293
like in the fitness world There's like this division between like the people
294
that can and kind of like everyone else maybe like doing social media
295
and stuff and like there's like this crazy division like big ego like on both sides
296
and you're just kind of like like this is fucking ridiculous
297
like just right in the middle like for some reason bodybuilding people compete helps like elite mindset
298
that they're like better oh yeah because they push themselves a little harder
299
and do a little more bullshit you know
300
and then on the other end the fitness people feel more adequate
301
because they make more money
302
if you just do like bodybuilding exclusively there's literally no money
303
there you have to pay to get your pro card it's just like literally it's just a financially dry
304
situation not a good
305
so like do you think you're gonna bring like your best package to the stage this year
306
if you have like no health complications or anything like
307
that i'd say so yeah kissy why not i have never not improved in bodybuilding until last year
308
and you've done nine shows yeah Do you uh do you take creatine?
309
No
310
So we're stopping at CVS because
311
my hair is all like stringy and off and I
312
Couldn't bring the shampoo with me on the plane
313
or my conditioner Chris was telling me just like hey Just like don't wash your hair for like an entire year.
314
I did that something like that I used to have a man bun, believe it or not, back in the day.
315
Disgusting man bun.
316
I did not have great hair, and I went literally, I think, maybe nine or ten months without shampooing or conditioning and nothing.
317
It never got really greasy.
318
Maybe that's just genetically lucky for me, but after like two months, it just started to like clean itself with water.
319
My natural oil just came out, and it would just wash out, and it was just always clean.
320
Soft.
321
Never once smelled at all.
322
It was perfect.
323
Hmm.
324
I feel like I used to do that too when I was like a little younger.
325
I was just like...
326
When I was like six and shit, I was like splashed myself with some water.
327
But, yeah, we gotta shoot tomorrow And I gotta shave all this shit over here Gotta clean this up So,
328
yeah, we're gonna get some fucking conditioner I gave my eye to you You said You're never gonna break me
329
And now I'm turning to Can't believe You left me here swimming Alone
330
Calling your name when you're not around Feeling so lost and I can't be found
331
You're everything I thought I wanted but you left me here to drown Feeling so lost,
332
feeling so lost You let me drown
333
Let's go Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
334
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
335
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
336
oh, oh, oh, oh an hour to one
337
and a half hours last night that's as much as i
338
slept obviously feel pretty tired right now about to roll up
339
to my hotel get my camera equipment drones some stuff like
340
that then go to sebum's room
341
and then we're gonna take an uber to the shoot i
342
don't really know much about it like the in the itinerary it says
343
that it's it's pretty long it's probably gonna be videos
344
and pictures it's for the new gymshark legacy line
345
which is like kind of this old school lego
346
which is personally some of my favorite stuff that gymshark makes
347
so yeah i mean it's going to be fun i'm like a fraction of the size of sebum
348
but hopefully i could you know talk to the cameraman make some barrel distortions
349
and make a few agreements and stuff and then we can make something work
350
and yeah whoa what's going on here look at you all well rested got the glycogen going,
351
like, well recovered, cortisol levels at zero, like, good for you.
352
So Chris did some fucking witchcraft, got these four eggs, just out of nowhere, and I'm eating this.
353
There's carb loading, sodium, trans fats.
354
Trans?
355
You think she has trans fats?
356
In your bacon?
357
You think so?
358
Are you serious?
359
Hey.
360
Is it because it's shit bacon or all bacon?
361
No, it's because it's shit bacon, right?
362
It's probably just processed pork and fried 20 times.
363
This shit doesn't have trans fat, right?
364
Mate.
365
Are you fucking around?
366
I don't know.

¿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.
