Big Bench Day With Christian Guzman | Alphaland Vlog

What's going on, guys? So from Mexico to Texas, we are here. You can probably guess why we're here. It is spend some much-needed time at Alfaland. Okay, random place to start the vlog. We're at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Okay, it's like scheduling what car to get, and I, I needed something Texas for the full experience. So you guys are about to see what I'm about to get. Give the video a thumbs up and let's get into the vlog. We went for a Ford F-150 XLT and it is an absolute beauty. Look at the bumper on that thing. It's the county sheriff. I honestly feel like the county sheriff in this thing. Like, I think it's slick. I just drove around the corner there. It's like really fast and powerful. But look, let's, let's go in, let's go in. I love this.

It's huge!

Like, it has 3 seats in the front, loads of space in the back. Plan for today is we actually have a shoot with Ghost. It's a really productive day. That's why I'm so happy to be here, and I can be here for a few weeks because I'm actually getting shit done and working. So we're going to drive straight to Alfaland. It's like 8 minutes away. Realistically, I'm going to spend most of my days there. It is just heaven for me. We had our first day yesterday. I'll give you guys a proper tour one of these days, maybe when I sort of like a videographer. Show you a few bits today. It's so cool. But right, let's get this thing on the road. All right guys, so we're pulling in now and as you'll see, it's just bigger than any of the other buildings around it. Like, take a look at this. Like, even the, the, the lampposts have Alfaland written on them. We got the mural here. The amount of cars, like, the gym's already full. Everyone drives a truck as well and it's just insane. Like, look at it. So let's get a parking space and then we'll head on in. So guys, we are back in business. I think it's my first photo shoot shoot in about 2 years. What's up everybody? So say hello to the vlog. There we go. I miss character as well. Oh yeah, it's been a while. Last time we were on each other's vlog, or last time we were with each other, it was New Year's in Dublin. Yeah, Ireland. I think it was like 2019 or 2020, then the world ended, but now we're back. So we're freezing our ass off, uh, in gym 2 here in Alphaland. Look at that, Prime, never satisfied. Doing a shoot for the new Ghost Energy that I'm not sure if I'm allowed to show yet because like as usual I doing every product drop. Like, CJ, CJ is like, CJ is like, can you please take that date off your story? I know, it freaks me out all the time. Every time, every time. So right, we're gonna finish up things here, then I'm gonna work out afterwards. That's gonna be a damn good day. Alright guys, so with my man Dylan here. What's up? Say hello to the box. What up? What up? He's the athlete manager at Alphalete. So this guy runs the show. This is my boss right here. But we are in the distribution center and I just need to show you guys this. It looks like an airport. It looks like an airport hangar. Like this looks like DHL. Yeah, for real. I'm just like, I was lost for words at the gym, but when you actually kind of break it down, This is kind of more impressive. This is like a bigger operation. Like, look at this. You got like even Buffbunny crates everywhere. It's like an Amazon. No, it's literally like Amazon. It just looks big. Look how far back that goes. Oh my God. The camera doesn't capture it. It's just absolutely mind-blowing. And we're back. Yes, just, just two, two short years it's always been. And we were just talking about, right, the last time we're with each other was in Dublin, and we were talking about the planning of this place being open. Christian showed me the PDF. He showed me the maps, the architecture, all that good stuff. And now we're here. Now it's come to life. So it's absolutely insane.

Probably haven't got a lift in probably 3, 4 years.

Yeah, full body now. Okay, I'll do, I'll do full body. Yeah, yeah. I'm like, where's the bro? I'm like, I was expecting a bro split. But look, we're going to do a little walk around, we're going to reunite, we're going to get a lift in. I've been traveling, I came from Tulum, obviously, since the last video. We're going to do some full body and just catch up, have a good time. So let's go.

How do you feel? You feel good?

Feeling great, man. I'm pumped to see Christian. Like, you know, it's been 2 years, man. I'm like, yo, I'm so overwhelmed. Like, the new gym, see all my friends again. I'm like, we're back, baby. If me and you competed in like the same show, it would be like—

I'm doing one end of either end of May or early, early June, man.

I'll do it.

That'll be Maybe like the pandemic will officially be over when we're doing it.

There you go.

I'm feeling a good workout incoming. Usually I train in the morning. Right now, had a few meals in me. I'm feeling strong. Got the boys here. Feeling good.

Stronger than Max shooting.

Yeah, yeah, that's it. Stronger than Max.

This automatic?

Yep!

Got it! Go go go go go go go go go go! Damn bro! Goddamn!

He still got it! Damn, I still got it!

Bam!

That was good!

All right, not bad after a month into love, you know.

Yeah, I haven't done that since like—

I haven't done that since March. I have like a clip of me doing that in Marbella.

All right, let's go. Let's go.

2, easy.

Come on, come on.

A huge tip for anyone in the business game, entrepreneur thing, training, it keeps you anchored down. I'll never forget The Rock, okay? He said the most important part of the day is hitting the gym. And he's got a million things going on and it just anchors your day. You know, it's 1 hour, whatever it is.

I think it's more important.

A lot of people don't start because you think, oh, if there's 3 pillars— the eating, the training, the sleeping— they think that if you can't hit all 3, I'm just not gonna even fucking bother. Yeah, but you have to have— you do what you can when you can. Life gets in the way of you, you have to at least do what you can, and that gets you further than if you did not. So for me, yeah, I didn't sleep much off schedule Didn't eat too much, but, uh, training never, never left for me. So I think it shows. I think 2 years I've actually gained even with this whole project, so I'm happy with it. So yeah, you don't have to do all 3, just do 1 or 2 or all 3.

So now on Christian's Jeff Nippert program, we're on some leg press because we're doing full body. So I'm actually excited. This is the first time I've ever done a workout like this, so it's just so much— it's like building muscle, hypertrophy. It's not about changing things up, that's a pro sign, it's got to fit, but doing so can increase motivation. Make things a little bit more enjoyable. So that's what we're doing today. Basically, when you're starting out on your fitness journey, you kind of like— the first people you find online is going to be like pretty much your, your base level advice. And we're so lucky that we kind of came from the same camp, like 3DMJ, Brad Schoenfeld, Matt Ogus, you know, Al Aragon, all them guys. And they put us on the right track.

It seems like since then, not too much much has been like discovered, I feel. Yeah, yeah, really, like all like, that's when everything kind of came about, same. Yeah, yeah, right after the Simply Shredded era.

Yeah, honestly, it's gonna be started era, like website and Cut and Jack.

You're cutting Jack, but then it was like, that was kind of a little BS.

Yeah, and then you got the truth. Yeah, yeah, we, we were like just getting in when the truth came out. It's funny, I think people like, like you said, are still on the right track.

Yeah, now there's so much information. Yeah, and so many people, so I feel smarter.

Yeah, now it's kind of a bit more like holistic, like intermittent fasting and longevity. And I think there's a little bit of woo-woo in there.

I think get fucking shredded first.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Know how to do it once, lift weights, and then you can kind of— yeah, yeah.

But I usually every hour and a half, bro.

Yeah, same. Go, Rob Lipsett!

I know.

Go!

Come on, wrap it up!

Let's go! Come on, keep going, keep going! Hold, push, push, squeeze!

Oh, oh. I'm just saying, the world has never been more accessible. Like, we're saying that Nick Bare has Matthew McConaughey on his podcast, you know, and the way we linked up just through DMs, it's like it's never been easier to reach out to someone you want to work with. Crazy times we're living in, but it's even crazier how much these chest support rows I'm gonna do. So let's go, see how many we can get.

A lot of times people— you don't have to— it's not like an ego thing. If you don't like a movement, if you have pain on the movement, your wrist, your elbow, like whatever it is with a grip placement or whatever, find an alternative. Don't try to suck it up and and, oh, I'll just, uh, I'll power through it. Because you keep doing that, that's how you're going to have a prolonged injury. And, uh, yeah, just don't do that. Make it slight tweak. Find something that doesn't cause you pain or discomfort and focus on getting better at that movement.

And that's the one.

So these are obviously meant for doing rows, get a little bit creative, switch it up. Unbelievable for tricep pushdowns, the grip you get on it, the range of motion. So good. Unbelievable. One more set, Mason. So epic workout done. Christian's gone off to do some work now. I'm gonna head home, wrap the day off. But this is something that I'm very happy to see when I arrived to Alphaland, okay? Obviously it's a mural wall that I feature in numerous times. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Anyways, regular feature. But what's very cool here is that it shows the timeline. So obviously Alphalete is announced. Here we have the debut launch, performance innovation, range expansion, and then public gym opening. And then here in the LA Fit Expo, this is where I flew on my own dime. You know, I wasn't with any company or anything. I was just kind of really just getting into YouTube in 2016. You can go watch these videos, they're all still there. I flew out to kind of link up with the Alphalete guys. I want to be part of this crew, I want to network, working with these people. And you know, obviously I watched Christian and we all got along well. And then a month later, so you can see here, 29th of January, 25th of February, a month later I was announced as the first male athlete. So it's crazy to just look back on, you can see the timeline here, and we're all the way, all the way up here. I'm still with the company. So honestly, it's amazing to be a part of this incredible journey. And you know, looking at everything now, it kind of feels like it's only beginning. So hope you enjoyed the video. Keep following the journey. Keep it real. Adair, see you in the next one. Peace.
