1
Dude, if I have one more failed bulk, I'm actually going to lose my mind.
2
I'm getting ready to go to the gym right now.
3
It's leg day.
4
Will I record my workout?
5
Probably not.
6
I can't be asked.
7
Sorry.
8
But I'll see you when we get there.
9
Right now, my goal is to hit 145 pounds.
10
I'm about 135 right now, which is actually the heaviest I've been ever.
11
A lot of people think I weigh a lot more than I actually do
12
But I'm really lean I think my frame just makes it look like I'm bigger When I'm wearing clothes and stuff
13
But yeah right now I'm set on 145 If I get to 140, 145 I'll be good And that'll be like a
14
Unlocking a new character almost
15
Hopefully I can get that in a month or two
16
If we stay right where we are We're right where we need to be.
17
We're focused, we're in the zone, and we're getting our meals in, we're staying consistent in the gym.
18
And that's really all it takes.
19
As long as you're doing that, it's just time at that point.
20
I mean, if that's not gourmet, I don't really know what is.
21
Look how appetizing!
22
But hey man, this is it.
23
I actually don't think it's that bad, to be honest with you.
24
I just hopped out of the shower.
25
Me and you are gonna go for a little bit of a walk.
26
Dude, this weather's my favorite.
27
It's nice and cloudy.
28
It's like blue hour.
29
This is the perfect music to go for a walk and listen to Crystal Castles too.
30
Honestly, I miss running.
31
If I wasn't trying to bulk up, I'd be running right now.
32
It is genuinely so therapeutic.
33
Just putting on your headphones, head down, but got to stay committed.
34
If any one of you is trying to bulk up and you're having difficulties, I'm going to give you a little rundown real quick of what I do because it's been working really well.
35
You just have to stay committed to it.
36
I get in five meals a day.
37
I eat at 12, 3, 5, 8, and then about like 11 or midnight, I have my last meal.
38
Each meal, I try to be around 700 to 800 calories.
39
That'll be enough to get to like 3,500 at least calories per day.
40
And if you're lean, you don't have a high maintenance, so that'll be more than enough to get you to gain weight.
41
Meal one for me is literally just two packs of oatmeal.
42
I can't eat in the morning.
43
I have no appetite.
44
It just is what it is.
45
You have to work around it.
46
So I just have two packets of oatmeal and that's it.
47
And that's at 12.
48
At three, I have a bowl of rice and ground beef.
49
It's 200 grams of cooked white rice and 150 grams of ground beef.
50
And then I add on olive oil onto the top of it to add on a couple hundred calories.
51
I do the same thing for meal Meal three, meal four, and then meal five, I have a shake.
52
I'll do two packets of oatmeal, or that's about like 85 grams of oatmeal.
53
I'll do a tablespoon of peanut butter I'll do soy milk and 100 grams of ice cream and That's it.
54
And that's my that's my meal plan.
55
If you stay committed to that I promise you it will work.
56
I'm gonna head inside cuz I want to talk to you guys about something
57
Little hint look at the title of the video
58
something special happens when you stop talking about what you're going to do
59
and just do it you get an idea an inspiration a motivation to do something ambitious to start hitting the gym,
60
to start a business, to do something.
61
And we want to tell everyone about it at work, friends, family, people at school.
62
But the reality is no one actually cares.
63
And if they do, it's nowhere near as much as you do.
64
And that sounds harsh, but the reality is
65
people have their own lives their own worries and their own goals
66
and ambitions that they're trying to pursue themselves
67
so really all you're doing is just watering down your idea
68
and most of the time you end up not doing it i think
69
when you start to vocalize and express your deepest inspirations and ambitions,
70
it loses its essence.
71
It's like there's like this intimacy that gets lost in the process of this.
72
It could also be the case that when you tell people,
73
you add this subconscious pressure that is just kind of lingering because you know you've told
74
your friends your family co-workers about this new exciting thing
75
that you're gonna pursue I'm gonna start my own business man
76
yeah dude I discovered this new business model this is it
77
man I discovered it I'm gonna be grinding for the next month and I'm gonna be out of here
78
I'm gonna be financially free I'm gonna be da da da well a month goes by and ain't nothing happen.
79
It's because when you're alone with your thoughts and you're alone in the process, this lingering pressure of, what if I don't pull this off?
80
What if I look like an idiot?
81
What if those who criticize me for this were right all along?
82
And I think subconsciously, we just succumb to it.
83
So what we need to be doing is just locking in.
84
Lock in, bro.
85
But do it in silence.
86
Do it alone.
87
Do it in the dark.
88
And just do what you got to do, man.
89
This is your journey.
90
This is your process.
91
No one else's.
92
So keep that intimacy, keep that spark, keep that energy, that motivation, and immerse yourself in this process.
93
Become obsessed with this process and you will fall in love with it.
94
Because once you get started and you get in that zone, you know what I'm talking about.
95
That like flow state, nothing can stop you.
96
And at that when it's just a matter of time before you begin to evolve into the dream version of yourself,
97
or you find success in whatever it is you began pursuing.
98
I remember at the beginning of my personal development journey back in about 2020,
99
I completely just went silent.
100
Friends asked me to hang out.
101
It didn't matter what it was.
102
I couldn't because my day was filled with things that I had to do.
103
Exercise, read, meditate, prayer.
104
I was making sure I was getting really good sleep, going to bed pretty early, waking up early.
105
I'm going to tell you something.
106
I was not always the person I am today, obviously.
107
But for some people, it might be hard to imagine that I was this kid who had absolutely no discipline.
108
I was this kid who couldn't read and couldn't speak for the life of them.
109
I couldn't formulate a proper sentence because my mind was just so, it was, I couldn't focus on anything.
110
I couldn't sit still and focus on anything.
111
I couldn't think straight because it was just in a million different places at once.
112
I had ambitions, but I had no direction, no knowledge, no clarity, no work ethic.
113
I was going to bed at 5, 6, 7 a.m.
114
I was nocturnal.
115
I was waking up at 3, 4 p.m., gaming all day.
116
I mean, I was actually malnourished at the time.
117
I'm lean now, but dude,
118
back then I weighed about 104 or five pounds as a 18 year old adult male.
119
Like that's not normal.
120
I was in a really bad spot mentally.
121
And, and as far as personal development, I mean, I wasn't getting anywhere, but I was making an effort.
122
I was making an effort.
123
It's just that I had no longevity in what I was trying to do.
124
If I was trying to get in the gym, I would go for a week, two weeks, maybe even a month if I was really in it.
125
But I'd quit.
126
I'd stop.
127
If I was like, you know, I should start reading.
128
I'd read one chapter of a book and never pick it up again.
129
If I wanted to start waking up early, I'd wake up at like 6 a.m one day, be proud of myself.
130
Like, yeah, this is awesome.
131
And the next day I'm waking up at 11, 12, whatever what it was, there was no sustainability.
132
Because anytime I got the motivation to improve something in my life, I would tell my best buddies about it.
133
I would tell people at work.
134
I tell people at school.
135
I tell family.
136
And it just watered it down, man.
137
It lost all its essence, all that spark that makes it so exciting in the first place.
138
And then when time comes, I mean, there's no, it just doesn't mean the same.
139
But eventually I came to the conclusion that I was just going to let people judge me based on my actions.
140
And I was going to judge myself based on my actions.
141
My actions are what were going to speak for me.
142
And so I started talking less.
143
I just simply started talking less in general.
144
I had no words for anything because I got into a mental state that was just so focused on my path, on my daily actions of improvement.
145
I was focused on the gym.
146
I was focused on reading.
147
I was focused on prayer.
148
I was focused on my sleep schedule.
149
I was focused on staying hydrated.
150
I was focused on dedicating time to my craft.
151
That was it.
152
That was it.
153
That was the only thing on my mind.
154
So I had no desire to talk about anything else.
155
I didn't even have a desire to talk about that
156
because I knew eventually my actions would contribute to a significant transformation that would just simply speak for itself.
157
I wouldn't have to do any talking.
158
So be patient.
159
Be patient and let your actions, your transformation, your evolution speak for you.
160
And in that, as you get farther in that process, you'll gain a level of confidence,
161
a level of control, a presence that is unimaginable in a really, really, really good way.
162
And it's going to help propel you even further into this version of yourself that you're striving to be.
163
We want to be our best in mind, body, and spirit.
164
That's the goal.
165
That's the purpose here.
166
It's really just about building up momentum.
167
So we have to shift our focus from
168
external things and focus it inward on the things
169
that we're improving mind body and spirit that's all you got this i believe in you
170
but let this be day one don't watch this video
171
and go off
172
and get into the same mistakes be intentional be intentional with
173
your actions you understand what you have to do getting to
174
where you want to be is not a matter of how it's a matter of will
175
and so take this information
176
and live by it breathe it that's how we got to
177
get we can't be half in half out here we got to be all in on us
178
so immerse yourself in that process thank you for watching and i'll see you soon

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
