In this vlog, the creator wakes up, brushes his teeth, and heads to the gym, sharing his motivation to stay active. He works with a client, starting with banded terminal knee extensions (TKEs) as a light warm‑up, explaining that voiceovers are needed because the gym is noisy and to avoid copyright issues. The session includes back rows, split‑squat holds, hamstring work with bands, Nordic curls, and RDLs, emphasizing knee bullet‑proofing, hamstring lengthening, and functional strength over pure size. He trains fasted, noting he feels odd when eating before workouts, and later breaks his fast with a meal of rice, chicken, boiled eggs, avocado, and beans, aiming to regain weight lost from illness. He also mentions using a skin‑care oil that makes his skin shine and keeps him acne‑free. Throughout, he discusses his content‑creation workflow: recording voiceovers, editing while watching TV for mental breaks, doing Q&A sessions, and responding to audience comments urging more videos. He shares lifestyle goals like hitting 10 k steps daily, balancing gym work with editing, and occasionally socializing without filming. The vlog ends with reflections on being considerate of friends’ privacy, promising more content, and encouraging viewers to stay disciplined.
Chapters
Good morning. I'm going to be vlogging today. I just woke up in bed. Yeah, man. Let's go brush up. Let's go push our teeth and let's go hit the gym.
You feel me?
I did lose a little bit of weight. I was like, I was 166 and I went to 161, but I think I'm going back. I think I can't tell, but I feel stronger. I was lifting heavier yesterday. You know what I'm saying? If you're building, if you're if you're look if you're getting stronger, you're definitely building muscle. Well, if you're not bulking, of course. You know what I'm saying?
But yeah, that's what I've been on lately.
So let's see, man.
Let's see.
I did record a video yesterday, but like I said, I'm gonna vlog workouts today, and you know what I'm saying? We're gonna have a good time for real, for real. And I'm gonna come home and edit quite literally. But yeah, I feel good. I look good. I feel great, actually. I look good. And yeah, let's, uh, let's go put in some work. Let's go put in some work. You feel me?
What's good, y'all? So today you will notice that I will have to do some voiceovers for some certain clips because number one. The gym is extremely loud, a lot of music playing, so you would not be able to hear me explain why we're doing the things we're doing. Number 2, yeah, you don't want to be hit with some copyright strikes. Yeah, you know, I've noticed that. So yeah, man, that's my client right there. That's one of my clients right there. He pulled up. As you can see, we're just starting off with banded TKEs. Today's a weekend, so we're not doing anything crazy because tomorrow we are going to be doing the crazy things like, you know, sprinting, rotating, Throwing, throwing heavy things around and all that. So yeah, we're just, you know, we're just getting our body warmed up and all that. Funny enough, after this we go into doing back, but you know, it's like, yo, why is he warming up his knees and doing back? Like I said, today is a very calm day. We're not trying to do anything too crazy, you know what I'm saying? Over there we're just chatting and all that. But yeah, we going to doing this, you know what I'm saying? Some back rows. We just warming up. Oh, 135, 45 on the other side, and 45 on the other side. We're just doing our thing. Nothing too crazy. Again, you hear me repeat that many times because this is really, this is really a light workout. We're just trying to keep the body active, obviously not staying on the weekend and, you know, do nothing, you feel me? Uh, rightfully so. You just want to be active, ladies and gentlemen. Like, for example, I'm going to get some 10K steps today after I get done editing this. Some real behind the scenes stuff, you know what I'm saying? So yeah, you just want to stay active because I do sit down a lot, like I mentioned a lot to you guys. And yeah, we want to get, uh, you know, want to get, want to get our steps in and all that and just want to get the physique right. And yes, you're gonna notice, oh, he's struggling with, you know, 45. No, I'm not really struggling. Like I said, it's a light day, so excuse me. So I'm going extremely slow, honestly. I'm just trying to stretch out my, my lats and all that and really just, like I said, push some sort of weight. But it's pretty easy. Over here we do 2 plates, you know what I'm saying? And we do all this fasted, by the way. Um, I'm not a fan of obviously eating before working out. Uh, I really should start doing that, but man, it's I don't want to say it's hard to do it, but I feel so weird when I eat. I don't know why, like, I just feel so weird when I eat, you know what I'm saying, and I work out. And in the past I've been able to do that, don't get me wrong, like, I've done that before. But like I said, to me it's more of a personal preference that I feel so weird, you know what I'm saying. Obi, I'm just explaining to my guy, you know, how to do things and all that, because, uh, sometimes, you know, he's tired, understandable, from work and all that, and that's fine. But guess what though, he's here. That's really what matters. So I give people, I commend people so much for you showing up, you know what I'm saying? Literally, when you show up, you build up those habits, that consistency and all that. And, you know, I cannot be more proud of him, you feel me? He shows up and he puts in the work. We put in the work. He never complains, you know what I'm saying? He's always down to put in work because he knows the end results of this will be something that he's going to build that he's extremely proud of. So yeah, after that, we're going to, you know, assisted, you know, hammies and all that, Nordics and all that. But we do it with the bands. We're doing it with the bands because like I said, we're going to be running, you know, in the next couple days and all that, either Monday or Tuesday depending on what schedule I have for them to do. And yes, I work out with my clients. I love to work out with them. So I'm not the coach that tells you to just do things and, you know, you just do it. No, if I— if you're— if you're here in person with me, I'm gonna work out with you, you feel me? I love to do that. If I got to go multiple times to work out with them, hey man, it is what it is. So yeah, we're lengthening the hamstrings right here. Obviously we're getting used to it, we're getting them used to, you know, just, you know Being lengthened, because when you're running, you will lengthen the hamstrings. So you don't want to pull anything. Yes, strengthen the hamstrings and lengthen them. Super important, these 2 things, you feel me? So be very mindful of this, ladies and gentlemen. And yeah, so this we had to do it, and you can see his form is immaculate. I love it right here, literally, you feel me?
Mm-hmm. What's good, y'all? What's good, y'all? I am, uh, I am back literally from the gym. Had the shower. I'm gonna obviously break my fast. It is— what time is it right now? It is— let's see, it's 11:12, you feel me? So 11:23. So I'm gonna break my fast real soon. I got some rice cooking and all that. And yeah, I'm gonna show y'all what I eat because I'm gonna eat. I'm trying to— I'm trying to gain my weight back. I was sick, so I lost a little bit of weight. So I'm trying to get my weight back. I'm maybe I'm gonna check my weight after this. I'm gonna check my weight after this. I'm gonna check over y'all so y'all can see. I'm probably one one sixty four or three, I guess. But I feel good though. I feel strong because I'm lifting very heavy. You know what I'm saying? Each day I'm lifting extremely heavy. So yeah, man. Today I did work out with my client, which I will you know you will see with this with this video going on with a little vlog. Hey, I'm new to this, but hey man, let me show y'all what it is. And what I use for my, for my, for my, um, so I don't know that name, but what I use for my, uh, skin is this. It's really good, makes your skin shine. I don't have any acne. Well, thank God I don't have any acne now, I guess, you know what I'm saying? I've never really had acne, it was just zits and all that. And if I do have it, they go really quick, and like, I mean, I mean like really quick. So I'm proud of my skin like that in a sense.
They go really quick.
Like I said, I love this oil. It's really good.
Makes your skin shine.
It just, you know, makes you look lovely, honestly.
You feel me? It just makes you—
and you smell good too. You smell really good. I smell extremely good right now. So yeah, man, I love the oil. Very good oil.
Very good oil. Yeah.
But yeah, I'm trying to gain weight back. I just wanna be, you know, I just wanna fill out the shirts a little bit more, you know what I'm saying? I do fill out my shirts, but hey, it doesn't hurt to fill it out more. Of course, with the functionality, I'm not just trying to just gain, you know, just strength for gaining strength. That's stupid. You still wanna be very agile, quick on your feet and all that.
Be able to jump, explode, all the good stuff, you feel me? You wanna be able to move.
Move. And all that good stuff. So yeah, that's, you know, that's always my goal, quite literally. I want to be functional, not just big for being big. That's stupid. Literally, I wanna be very functional, a very functional human being.
Mm.
Oh, I didn't put the light off. What am I doing? What am I doing? What am I doing? Mm. But yeah, y'all, that was, uh, What I will do is I will work on my knees a little bit. I'm gonna eat, of course, and I'm gonna show y'all—
what the heck is this?
I'm gonna eat and I'm gonna show you a little bit of how I work on my— I'm gonna work on my knees, you know what I'm saying? You gotta always strengthen your knees. You gotta bulletproof your, you know, your knees still. So I'm going to work on my knees and yeah, man, I'm gonna actually— let me eat first. Work on my knees and go get my 10K steps. I'm gonna show you how I get my 10K steps really good. I'm gonna show you the pace I'll be going. I go a little fast and I go a little slow, but very good conversational pace, you feel me? And yeah, let's, uh, let's get to it. Let's get to it. I do have my dumbbells in the room all the time with me, but let's get to it though. Let me go, uh, show y'all what I'm about to eat. You know, I might eat in my room too while I watch a movie or do work because I do have some work to edit and edit a lot of videos. So yeah. Let me show y'all.
What's up, y'all? So back again. This is some of what I ate right here. I did— I unfortunately did not eat too much today, you know what I'm saying? That is a bad thing. That is a bad thing. But again, man, y'all know me, man. My stomach is my stomach. I'm telling y'all, small as hell. But yeah, so I ate some avocados, some boiled eggs, some chicken, some rice. There's a lot of— and beans right there. My mom made some great African food because my birthday was, you know, a couple days ago. So yeah, this is, you know, really what I ate. And I made a video of me eating since a lot of people Always, you know, not always, but they typically ask that. And they're very curious of like, do I even eat the food? Yes, I eat the food. I generally eat the food. So I don't know how I can fake that. And this is me just, you know, showing you why, you know, I'm just doing this. My clients text me asking questions and I'm quick to reply. You know what I'm saying? I try to be very quick to reply. You know, he's just asking about day 3. He's going to do that and how much time between, you know, the rest and all that. So I'm just replying to him. While I eat, you know, showing people I do eat.
You want to do daily, you know what I'm saying? Daily habits you want to do to bulletproof your body. Let us begin. Now I have the dumbbells right here. I will pick them up. I will show you what happened. Dumbbells right here, right? Let's get to it. 20, 25 pounds, you know what I'm saying? It's really up to you, honestly. You wanna put the slant board up though. You want to put a little up, you want that elevation, that good elevation right there. That is a solid elevation. Now you go on it and you do a split squat. Okay, do a split squat hold, isometric hold. You can do it for, you know, a good 3 sets of 15 to 20 seconds. Obviously you can progress overload, you know what I'm saying, with the timing. That is not necessarily the weight you You can do the weight once you've gotten stronger, that is, you feel me? I go with this one now, I do the same thing, literally. It also helps with your, you know, a little bit of balance too as well, because, you know, this is a unilateral exercise, you know what I'm saying? So it's also working your knees, your hip flexors, and literally, and I mean literally, your Achilles as well too, ladies and gentlemen. So be very—
Careful.
Much aware of that. You can also strengthen your hamstrings too, going on it and doing some good RDLs, elevated RDLs. Get that good stretch. Get that good stretch. Since you know you need it, you've been sitting all too long. Get that good stretch. Get that good stretch. So yeah, you can also do step-ups, well, step-downs, I mean. Keep one weight down, You turn around since it's already elevated, and you oh almost lost my balance for a second. Same thing with the other knee. And that's how you strengthen your joints and fix any imbalances, any weaknesses I must say. So yeah, right now I'm doing work and I'm multitasking. I'm saying, I'm watching, uh, because I typically like to watch a show when I do my work. It makes it a lot easier, obviously, when I'm doing my voiceovers, you know what I'm saying? It makes me, you know, I don't want to say focus more because I have to obviously turn the shows off when I do my voiceover so I can obviously get my thought process right in a sense with the information I know so I can speak it, you know what I'm saying? So I turn the show off for a little bit, but once I'm editing and all that, you know, putting the clips together, I do put the show on and all that because, you know, You know, it just helps me, you know, it helps my brain, you know, relax in a sense, you feel me? Because, you know, I have to manage a lot of content and all the good things and all that. But yeah, that's pretty much the process, you know what I'm saying? I will be doing some Q&As. I do Q&As every weekend. People love to ask the questions and I love to answer it. It's just amazing. People have some great questions and some obviously weird questions as well too, but, but it's okay, it's okay. I'm a really chill dude, uh, You know, nothing too crazy, obviously. And yeah, man, that's, you know, that's pretty much, you know, what it is right there, you feel me? I could probably go, uh, you know, they have this, uh, new show on Amazon Prime, the Spider-Man one. I haven't watched that. Like, funny enough, I don't watch too much TV. I will put the TV on sometimes and don't even watch it. I know, which is actually kind of hilarious. I just like to have it on for a little mental break in a sense.
Right here is a quick little behind the scenes of me just recording content, you know, for this upcoming week, and nothing too crazy. Just a you know real quick behind the scenes, and yeah man, this was pretty much a day. You feel me?
Hello, what's up y'all? So that was pretty much the vlog. Hope y'all enjoy it and all that.
I will make more.
A lot of people said, "Yo bro, you should definitely record more," and all that in the comments. And yeah, you're rightfully so. It is good to be you know. I get it. A lot of y'all are curious. You know I'm saying? There's nothing wrong with that. That's actually a very good thing, and I should do my duty. Diligence and do so as well too, you feel me? So yeah, I did go out yesterday to my friend's house. She had a little get-together, a little barbecue and all that. I didn't get to record it because sometimes you just want to, you know, have time with your friends without having to pull out a camera, you know, in everyone's faces like, hey, what are you doing? You know what I'm saying? Sometimes people don't really like that, and that's, that's okay. There's nothing wrong with that. People don't really like that sometimes, and I can't blame them for that, you feel me? Not everyone— everyone isn't Photogenical, you know, loves to be in front of the camera. So I too have to be very, uh, considerate of that.
So I did not record anything.
We just had a blast, you know what I'm saying? Memories. And, you know, we just talk. We don't really drink or anything like that, so we really were just talking and eating, you know, some healthy foods and all that. So yeah, man, uh, like I said, I hope y'all enjoyed. Ladies and gentlemen, I will try to do more, I'm saying. Uh, I have no problem with that. Right now I'm going to actually finish this edit right now, which is actually hilarious, right? But yes, I will be posting that. So y'all take care, y'all stay blessed and disciplined.
Thank you.
