What is up YouTube?

Today I'm gonna be taking you guys through my exact morning routine that won me six Olympias.

It varied a little bit of course over the years, but this was like the consistent things that I did

that really helped me just lock in and focus for the day and for prep.

Back then, it was about achieving the Olympia.

Now it's about trying to become who I am.

Currently 5.30 in the morning.

Wake up before the children are awake, when the birds are chirping, before the things are turning.

Your mind just feels a little bit calmer.

I always started with a little morning walk in the light and then did a little cardio.

So I'm going to take a walk down the treadmill and update you over there.

What's motivating you to bring the morning routine back?

I feel like when I retired from competing, I stopped doing a lot of things that made me better, not because they weren't working, but just because I didn't have the Olympia.

And it just became so clear to me

that it was a lot easier to have discipline when you had a huge goal and when you had a deadline,

but actually choosing to have discipline just for the sake of building self-respect

and self-trust and just feeling more organized and centered and aligned in your life is so important to everyone.

That moment of alignment at the beginning of the day, I think, just sets you up for success.

And it's so easy to, for me, without the deadline for the Olympia, to just be like, I don't need to do it.

But then I don't feel as good within myself.

And I'm like, why?

And it's a slow drift away from, like, I feel good because I'm doing all these things.

Oh, well, I don't need to set an alarm anymore.

I don't need to take a cold shower.

I don't need to go for a walk outside.

I don't need to do these things.

And one little thing at a time, slowly just, like, drift away from, like, that confident, self-trusted man

that I used to be into like this kind of like lesser version I guess

and it happens so slowly that's what people don't realize happens to fucking anybody

so you gotta choose every day to lock back in and the morning is like the vehicle for that yes

One of the coolest things I feel like I used to do

that I didn't talk about a whole lot was when I would do my cardio.

The first, I'd do like a 20-minute walk, and then the first 20-25 minutes, I wouldn't allow myself to look at my phone,

minus the specific 24-7 meditation music that was on YouTube, just the first thing that would come up.

I'd put my headphones in, I would cheat, I'd put my hands here, close my eyes, and I'd walk, and I would visualize the point where I was at in prep all the way to stepping on stage

and giving my speech.

and I would just sit there and I would like walk through what each prep would look like.

I would watch myself waking up every week, looking better, looking on point, getting to the Olympia, training with my coach, whether it was Ian or Hani down there,

going to the check-ins, going to the weigh-ins, going to the press conference, being backstage, getting tamed, like all the things I would just visualize it

and it would get to the point where I'd be on stage

and I would like hear Bob Chagallo's name calling my name like, and still you're two, three,

four, five, six times Mr. Olympia and I would like get chills on the treadmill.

And then I would like see myself going up there and like giving a speech.

And I'd have tears coming down my eyes some days.

Just like sitting here like this by myself at 5 a.m doing cardio, just like not just visualizing, but literally feeling what it would feel like to win the Olympia that year.

So then a therapist would like walk me through doing it to try to like ease my like anxiety

and nerves that I had about going on stage.

And it works so well.

Like when I tell you like when your body feels like it's experienced something emotionally, even before it's actually happened, you just feel more confident doing it,

and you're just more likely to achieve it.

It feels, it's hard to explain into words how strong that felt, and it's something I never really took to apply to other areas of my life,

even when I had like a big talk or a seminar or a Q and A or something, sometimes I would do that, but it's something I'm like realizing that you can apply to the small things in life,

where like, why can't I change this?

Like, why am I reactive in these situations?

Why am I anxious in these situations?

If you really can like access that part of yourself, that is confident in the situation, to show them how you want, and feel what it feels like, and walk yourself through that.

It's kind of like you've already done it when you got there.

So that was a huge way that helped me.

Also get through 25 minutes of cardio.

I'd open my eyes and be like, oh shit, it's been 25 minutes?

Cool.

Then I throw in some anime, I watched Naruto or Demon Slayer, something cool, and that was my reward for getting to that point.

And then I'd go off to breakfast.

So it was a really cool part of my morning routine, which I felt like was very helpful.

And the best time of day with stepping off that thing, being done an hour, usually only got to an hour at once of cardio, and then go and eat breakfast.

We're just like, finally food.

Just like stomach grumbling on there.

These were before the time for bodybuilders were taking GLPs and we just had to suffer in our hunger.

What's the morning smoothie looking like these days?

Morning smoothie, I dimmed it a little bit because I'm gonna have my prep breakfast, But it used to be I would make a smoothie I cheated here.

I wouldn't have had peanut butter in prep, but like

But I have a scoop of protein I would either do I did dark chocolate probably

95% of the days in my prep that I had Other than that I would like cookies and cream or something,

but dark chocolate with my coat Some green team some fiber a banana ice.

Later on prep the banana, I'll take it away, but I'm not prepped so I put the banana in there.

And then I would make this and then I would make a little bit of oats and eggs.

Is there like a macro that you prioritize in the morning?

Not really, honestly.

In prep specifically, by the end of it, it was just low carb, low fat.

It was making sure I got like 50 grams of protein in like six times a day at least.

I would try and I just put my carbs around when I was training.

So I didn't always train right after in the morning.

Sometimes I would train like three meals later in the day so I had a little bit more food in me.

And like peak prep when I was like exhausted, it would be like breakfast, nap, meal, drink.

Just crazy to wake up, eat breakfast, and then take a nap.

But I was so tired.

I would lie on my couch in the sunlight and just like feet up on the edge and you're just like, for like an hour of sleep.

That was a glory days.

No more naps.

Alright babe, no more naps anymore, eh?

He probably gets a nap, but no less.

And what I did forget to show is I used to wake up every morning before all my cardio.

I would sit there and meditate because it was like that peaceful time of day.

But we're not going to film that

because it's fucking stupid to pretend like you're meditating with a camera in front of you.

Would you say this morning routine is applicable to anyone?

I feel like it definitely could be.

I feel like if you're doing 45 minutes of cardio, walking in the morning and a workout, probably not.

That's like two hours plus of like exercise for an average person is not really feasible.

100

But the idea of like waking up, having some time alone, for a walk, moving your body, get some sunlight, get your water and a quick meditation,

101

having like intentional things to do and eating the same thing every day.

102

I think one of the most important aspects of it is the fact

103

that it's a routine so that you're doing the same thing all the time

104

that would be the easiest thing to prep when you're tired and like get fatigued.

105

Taking the thinking out of things made it easier.

106

Life, everyone's busy.

107

Chaos every day, things change.

108

If you have something that never change, you have a routine.

109

You don't have to think about it.

110

You just go through the motions and it like builds you in momentum for the day.

111

I think that's what's available to everyone in the way.

112

This is exactly how I used to set it up.

113

I have my oatmeal.

114

I'm gonna shake my eggs.

115

like I said to make it feel like I was eating more.

116

I've had the same phone case on different phones for, I don't know, a long time, like six years.

117

I'd put my phone case like this, and I'd turn my anime on, and I would just sit and eat breakfast like this.

118

Everything in the morning.

119

My whole morning would be like not on my phone until that point in cardio where I would flip it on, and then it would rip through the rest of that episode of breakfast,

120

and that was the morning, essentially.

121

Sometimes I'd go take a nap.

122

Sometimes I'd go shower again.

123

Sometimes I'd go train.

124

Egg whites, eggs, protein shake, oatmeal, a little bit of fruit.

125

Typically what we get pulled at first would be like, egg yolk, fruit, banana, less oats, until you're down to like just eggs,

126

like one egg and some egg whites, in the last like week or two.

127

There's like a famous quote about like, starting your day off with a weight like making your bed in the morning

128

and that being your first one of the day.

129

Do you feel like that's the most meaningful thing to you about your morning routine

130

or some more about structure or something else?

131

I mean, subjective words, I guess, but for me, it feels more like structure and as well as that, just that concept of when you tell yourself you're going to do something and then you're like, Oh, I don't really want to do it.

132

Then you do it anyway through like strengthening that muscle in your mind to be like, Oh, I do the things I tell myself I was going to do for long term, delayed gratification, not for immediate comfort.

133

I think just starting your day with

134

that like message to yourself like I do the thing

135

that aligns with my values that is going to get me to the goal

136

that I want rather than the thing that is immediately comfortable

137

and easy right now that's like the cold shower the cardio

138

you don't want to do getting up from your alarm

139

when it's like oh I just want to snooze this

140

so you can see that as a win as well 100% I guess how you define it

141

but that's the big thing for me and I feel like For me now, it's like understanding that I don't need an Olympia to live like that.

142

Whereas before, I feel like achievement was my big value that I was chasing.

143

Like I want to achieve, I want to win the Olympia.

144

So I'm aligning my actions with that.

145

And now the goal is general alignment, which means I have a set of standards that I live by.

146

And I align myself with them because it's who I am.

147

So I feel like that transition of like I'm doing something for achievement versus I'm doing something because it's who I am.

148

It's part of my identity.

149

I feel like that's lasting.

150

And maybe it might not be as dramatic, but that's something that's actually sustainable to like fill you up

151

and drive you and you build things that you realize make you feel good.

152

You sit back and you actually define what are the standards that are important to me?

153

What values do I want to uphold and I might actually actually are my actions actually aligning with them?

154

Or am I leaning too much into the comfortable easy thing like sleeping in eating whatever I want skipping cardio warm showers?

155

We should

156

But yeah, that's that's like that's the season that's the culmination of what the season is so

157

That's where the challenge I want to do

158

that I want to set coming into everything too so so

159

that you would probably be hearing a lot of these similar style rants to me in the future

160

but this is just a small the morning routine is just a small piece it's like

161

when people say showing up with half the battle no it's

162

not morning routine is not half the battle it's just a little message

163

to get the day started the right way now we're gonna

164

go work out today is a general upper body day still

165

in my little fixing my body phase right now a little bit

166

so little shoulders little biceps little triceps with a little bit of a pump in there

167

but in like huge stretched positions just to really like strengthen them in the right ways

168

and they got one more week of this they were moving into the fun shit getting strong

169

so excited for

170

that all right here we are at the gym upper body

171

day all my workouts right now start with a triple superset where it starts with the pails

172

and rails stretch kind of thing

173

and then we move on to some other stuff i'm doing abs three times a week right now

174

so i'm doing a stretch over there a row with the prisoner handle

175

which is like like a handcuff essentially

176

so you're pulling your arm out as you're doing the pull down

177

and then uh oblique style crunch i do a bunch of obliques right now in this training phase

178

so i'll run you guys through what

179

that looks like tricep honestly gets in this too but it's very like lat focused I guess.

180

Super deep grip.

181

Get into an extreme shoulder flexion so you feel that deep stretch here.

182

And then I'm pulling down as hard as I can like this.

183

And then I'm pushing up for five seconds.

184

So five seconds down and then five seconds up.

185

And I'm not actually moving, I'm just trying.

186

And often times the antagonist muscle will feel like so weak.

187

Like I'm up in that position and I'm like, I don't even know if I'm flexing it, but you're almost just thinking that you are even just thinking you are,

188

well at least relax the lat that you're stretching and it'll still help.

189

Not very entertaining to watch, looks like you're not moving but trying.

190

Trying to move the whole rack.

191

So again that band is there trying to make my arms externally rotate as I'm rowing it

192

and I'm stopping in that mid position

193

and I'm really trying to take my scapula

194

and like rotate it down my back

195

and like let it just like tuck down and you feel your scapula just like ripped up

196

forcing it down into that position, holding for 5 seconds, finish the rep.

197

The most important part of this movement is that 5 second hold, more so than the actual full rep.

198

Yeah.

199

Whoo.

200

They've been

201

doing abs for four weeks and they don't cramp as much.

202

Imagine that.

203

You actually train them to make up cramping.

204

I think they're called the Czech press.

205

I don't know if it's from Czechoslovakia or what, but the main goal in these is them bringing my arms back as far as they can

206

and I'm trying to press the whole way and then I'm letting them fall forward down and then back up.

207

So really try to keep your trap rhomboids tucked down, shoulders, elbows flared backwards.

208

Alright, so we're setting that with a little Cuban press.

209

Pull it up, rotate, press.

210

All these things are like not the craziest deltoid developers, but it's still hitting them in different ranges of motion than you're used to.

211

And like the stabilizer rotator cuff, all the little parts that you normally don't use in my body are just like burning right now.

212

So when I do progress into heavy dumbbells, my body's just like a machine, locked in, no injuries.

213

When does taking it easy become laziness?

214

I feel like it becomes lazy when you lose control of it, when things aren't intentional.

215

Like when people are like, oh, you know what?

216

I worked really hard today.

217

If I go home

218

and I'm on my phone for 10 minutes like cool like I'll just enjoy being on my phone

219

but if they're like oh I'm on my phone way too much like I scroll Instagram too much

220

and then an hour later they're on their phone scrolling Instagram doing it

221

and they're like you know what I worked hard today it's fine it's

222

when the justifications don't match what your values are so

223

when you're in like a state of like feeling good everyone has states of being motivated versus not when you're motivated, easy to make good decisions and do the right thing.

224

When you're not, your actions require more discipline.

225

And if your actions in the moments of lower motivation don't align with your desires of higher motivation,

226

to me that's when it becomes laziness.

227

So it's a matter of intention rather than what you do.

228

Like if someone runs a fucking ultra marathon, they do 150 miles and then they sit in bed for a week.

229

They're not being lazy, that was their thing, but if you have a fucking just a lazy piece of shit and you sit in bed for a week, it is.

230

Obviously extreme versions, but like I said, it's just about sitting down with yourself in moments of motivation and feeling good, understanding what your values are,

231

aligning your actions with those, and then in the moments that are really hard, the days where you've lost sleep, the days where everything goes wrong, fucking chaos just breaks out,

232

you're late for everything, there's fucking traffic, like the sky's falling, still aligning your actions with your values is not laziness, in my opinion.

233

So at the end of the day, you know yourself if you're in it.

234

And there's no cheating.

235

There's no posting on Instagram like, I worked hard today, I wasn't lazy.

236

And then you go home and feel like shit about yourself and you're lying.

237

It doesn't matter.

238

It matters how you feel inside.

239

Like I said at the beginning of this, it's not about the achievement, it's about who you are.

240

Alright, last

241

part of this work is to get a little bit of a little bit of a little bit Alright, last part of this workout.

242

Some deep stretch in the tricep and bicep.

243

I'm doing a 35 degree incline bicep curl.

244

This is like as low as you can get doing this.

245

I need to slide up the bench a bit because my hands will hit the ground.

246

We're getting that crazy stretch, curling up.

247

And then we're gonna do a tricep extension I'll set up over there, but again, we set my elbow up on a pad and extension.

248

Crazy stretch, and we're done.

249

um the

250

goal with this i'm trying to use that pad to get my lat tricep into a stretch position,

251

like pushing down against it while getting that tricep extension.

252

And you can like feel like you rarely are in that position trying to move a load, but it feels like, almost like crampy when you're on the edge of that stretch and then you contract it.

253

Feels good, very good.

254

So peaceful with this and turn it off.

255

To wrap on today's video, I feel like this was a reflection of what my morning routine was like that I used to win Olympias.

256

And as you can see, there were bits I sprinkled it in every now and then, like sauna, cold plunge, I would do some other things.

257

But the actual staple of what I did were just these really simple things that you can do in a hotel, in an apartment, in whatever.

258

Like you can just get it done wherever.

259

It's just really about choosing to do that thing in the morning, choosing to wake up maybe 30 minutes early to start your day properly rather than just like jumping into chaos

260

when you roll out of bed being late jumping in the

261

shower grab some food around the door go to work

262

and then your day is just like repeated and over giving yourself just

263

that moment of stillness in the morning to slow down gather yourself

264

and your thoughts because honestly there's so many things wrong with our world right now

265

but just the ability to slow down it's like no one

266

has it even me i've had to delete social media off my phone i'd re-download it post it

267

and delete it

268

because like it's not about oh what more discipline you have You have to create environments that you can actually thrive in.

269

Give yourself the opportunity to wake up early, delete the apps off your phone, force schedule in time to do nothing.

270

You have to choose, intentionally choose to do these things.

271

It's not just like, I'm going to try harder and have more discipline.

272

You truly need a system to set yourself up for success, or you're not going to.

273

And I have not been doing that since retiring from the Olympia.

274

I've slowly drifted away from the system that I had that allowed me to win Olympias, and now I'm rebuilding a system so that I can become who I want to be.

275

to achieve something so that's a wrap on this video thank you guys for watching see you next time

FOR YOU

你能學到什麼

這段影片能幫你提升兩項關鍵口語技能：一是自然表達長句的能力，比如模仿演講者講述晨練細節時的流暢度；二是用語氣傳遞情感的技巧，像他描述視覺化訓練時的激動與堅定。此外，還能學會如何在口語中自然融入連線詞（如“and then”“but”），讓表達更連貫。這些技能對雅思口語練習尤其有幫助。

注意這些發音現象

影片中存在不少連讀和弱讀現象，比如“wake up”連讀為/weɪk ʌp/，“a little bit”弱讀為/ə ˈlɪtl bɪt/，“because I”連讀為/bɪˈkəz aɪ/。另外，“gotta”是“got to”的縮寫，發音為/ˈɡɑːtə/，在口語中很常用。這些連線 speech 的技巧能讓你的發音更像母語者。

像母語者一樣說英語

模仿演講者的節奏和重音是關鍵。他在強調“自律”“視覺化”等關鍵詞時會加重語氣，比如“choose every day to lock back in”中的“choose”和“lock back in”。同時，注意他的停頓，比如在描述晨練步驟時，每個動作之間的短暫停頓的“walk in the light and then did a little cardio”。你可以用 shadow speech 法練習：播放影片，暫停後重復他的每句話，模仿語氣和節奏。堅持用這種方法看 YouTube 學英語，能快速提升口語流暢度。此外，嘗試像他一樣在口語中加入情感表達，比如描述目標時的堅定，這樣能讓你的雅思口語練習更生動。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
“used to” used to + 動詞 — 過去的習慣或狀態，現在已不再如此	used to be · used to do
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	you've already done · it's been · I've had

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
