Man, morning, morning, morning, morning. So yeah, I just woke up. It's like 8 o'clock right now if I'm correct. Um, about to hit the gym, early session. Let me fix the bed first. Gotta fix the bed. That's like one of the best ways to start the day. You got to be productive with that. Let me keep this down and fix that bed. But for the meantime, I'm gonna go shower because I gotta hit the gym. I'm saying, damn, I was sweating sleeping. It's crazy work, bro. I'm gonna go shower though, but this is pretty much the physique when I wake up, man. Yeah, I stay lean 24/7, bro. I mean, used to it, literally. Like, but yeah, let me go shower though. Good morning, by the way.
Keys, keys, keys!
I got the keys!
I had my 3 tacos in the morning. You're gonna make me sick.
What's he doing on the sleds?
Goddamn.
All right, what do you think?
Ready?
This shit right here always gets me to throw up, bro. This shit always gets me to throw up.
Oh my Lord Jesus Christ. Wait, I'm not about to throw up at this point.
You ready?
What time we out?
What?
What time we out to the gym?
Huh?
What time we out to the gym?
You ready?
So what time?
What time? When we done with this.
Okay. Why?
I'm just asking because, uh, it's 10 now.
Yeah.
Couple more sets and we out?
Huh?
Couple more sets and we out?
Yeah. You want to do another set? Yeah.
You want to do another one?
You want to do another one?
You gotta do a twist, bro.
Yeah, you gotta do a twist, huh? Yeah, that's gonna fry you. I believe you fry. Let's see your connection, huh? That's gonna fry you.
I ain't doing no weights though, huh?
I ain't doing no weights.
Anytime.
About to go crazy.
Oh my God. Done? Well, done.
Find out.
Think about doing one more, man, but goddamn.
All right, do one more then.
You done? I'm done.
Word.
I mean, I probably do one more just to get my shit right though. Yeah, cuz I, I kind of I see what you did.
You—
what it is, you went a little— you gave it, you gave it left. I didn't give it left, so that's why the put— the drawback hit me and shit.
Exactly. I just—
I get that first step, I'm gonna just get close with it.
Yeah, you gotta engage your core the whole time. You gotta just breathe for one second. Pull on 60 pounds while you're running.
Huh? Yeah, little rest a little bit.
Do one more with no weights this time though.
Get up out of here. Ah.
It's that.
You put in work, so you feel good about yourself.
And you should, literally. Yeah.
That's like a tendon exercise, isn't it, really?
Step-ups. So step-ups are, what's it called? They become a tendon exercise if you're stepping up on your Achilles. If you know what I'm saying. Because here's the thing about that. It's a whole foot exercise. It's a whole leg exercise. Especially when you have dumbbells on it, you feel me? They become a tendon strengthening exercise. When you literally step up on your— when I mean step up on your Achilles, you step up on your ankles. Like, you don't step up on your whole foot. They become a tendon exercise because that's the first point of contact. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, it be coming. Yeah, for sure. And you mentioned the diet. I mean, like, you know, I understand you. You know, when family's around, obviously, you know, you can't be too Strict at times, you feel me? But you know, I would, I would, I would.
Nothing crazy in it.
Nothing crazy.
Nothing.
Okay. Okay. Obviously, like I said to them, like, oh, let's go. They're like, oh, let's go get, you know.
Okay.
Let's go get cheeky, cashy, or let's go do that. I'm like, nah, man.
Okay, that's good.
All right, I love that.
If you want to go to, like, for example, eating at home with Marky's family, for example, I gotta do that. That's rude if I don't do that.
Okay.
That's understandable. I thought you meant like, you know, you were going out eating, you know, junk. I was about to say, you know, like, look, I get it, but, you know, you really don't want to set, you know, progress back because of, you know, family in a sense, you feel me? But okay, I get it now. You explained it very well. That's good.
As y'all see, I'm about to chow down on this.
I'm super hungry. Literally been fasting. And the workout today, if y'all saw prior to this, yeah. Nah, I need some food, like, you know what I'm saying? I'm human. Yeah, I know that. But yeah, today very hungry. Some avocados, 2 boiled eggs, sliced up beef right there. My homie Dan cooked that. And some beans right there. So high in protein, you know. If I need more food after this, I'll probably eat, but that would just be 2. But for now, just one. This one should be good. I hope it's good, you know what I'm saying? I hope it's enough to fill me up. But yeah, if I need more food, I'm going to eat after this. And I don't know, should I start showing myself eating the food? I don't know if y'all want to see that. Just let me know. I don't know, man. You feel me? Like I'm new to this. Y'all want to see me actually eat the food, I guess, instead of just showing you the food. Let me know, man. But yeah, it's the food, man. Very healthy. You know, high protein, good carbs, you know, and healthy fats. And yes, avocado is a fruit still. So yeah. I mean, I'm gonna eat apples still, but yeah, avocado for some fiber. But avocado is a fruit. It has a seed. So yeah.
