My Supplement Stack, Fat Loss Update, New LF Gear (B.O.T.S Ep. 9)

What is up everyone? So good morning. I always like to start these vlogs in the morning. It's— they're kind of like day in the life videos, I guess, because it is my whole day. But anyways, right, Back on the Shred series, it's come to an end. And as you saw in kind of like the last video with me and Joe, me and Shred Bundy, you know, abs are quite visible at this stage. So, you know, I only got a few more weeks cutting left. And you also probably could see on Instagram as well, he posted, you know, some pictures where it's tops off and stuff, no hate. And you know, if I'm able to stand next to him, the king of the shred, you know, I must not be too far off. So I'd say I've got another 4 to 6 weeks at most cutting left. And then I've got some cool things lined up, like some rum, like, to be honest, I've been having a great week. Like, I'm in top form. So I've a cool few things to show you today as well. But anyways, let's get on with the vlog. Let's do it. Alright, so it wouldn't be YouTube if I didn't show you an unboxing. But the reason I'm actually— you know, I often get unboxings that I don't show. The reason I'm showing this one is because often, you know, when I run out of a certain supplement, I, you know, get it again. I just get it in drips and drops. But I've kind of ran out of a lot of things at once, so I'm going to show you some stuff that I take. But anyways, look, let's crack it open. Obviously it's from Myprotein, my boys. Thank you so much for the hookup. Of course, if you want to help the channel grow, discount codes and links are in the description box, in before sellout. But anyways, look, let's crack this open. Okay, so first on the top of the list, I saw Lex Griffin had this. Protein cheese. Per 100 grams— 2— yeah, obviously, you know, 100 grams is like the whole thing is 350 grams, so I'm not going to use 100 grams in one go. Per 100 grams, 2 grams of fat, zero carb, 37 grams protein. Complete wizardry. Um, so that I'm gonna make Lipsetti pizzas with that. And also comment down below if you want me to do an updated video of the Lipsetti pizza, because I did that like 6 months ago. That's actually when I started taking my channel, seriously. But anyway, so that— next up is protein granola. I haven't tried this, and I'm really looking forward to chocolate caramel flavor. One of the reasons I got this is actually for Sarah as well, because she's so bad at getting her protein in, like terrible. So, um, of hitting her protein intake. So she's also addicted to cereal, like she eats cereal like before bed, like 2 bowls, like bowl in the morning. She just loves cereal, I guess. Who doesn't? But so this could be the answer for her, um, to hit her macros. Uh, obviously just some standard Impact Whey Protein. This is chocolate brownie flavor, recommended to me by Joe. So that, um, I was all out of fish oils, so you know, there's not much to say there. Omega-3 fish oils, and it's cheap supplement that everyone should really take unless you get, you know, a lot of oily fish in your diet, which a lot of us don't. I take 2 of these a day with a meal. Vitamin D3, that's another really important thing and kind of like a general recommendation of mine, especially if you live in Ireland or the UK and the weather's always crap like today. What the devil is this? Oh, nice. Tub of almond butter. Almond butter. And I think this tastes better than peanut butter, and it's also got better macros. It's like higher fiber and higher protein. And so that's also a great way getting fats in. All my fats usually come from nuts and like beef or eggs or avocado as well. So that's covered my fat intakes and healthy fats. Myprotein maple syrup for the protein pancakes. I've heard this is actually the best one. Chocolate one, yeah, not a fan. Raspberry one, decent. Maple syrup, I heard, is good. Another important one is ZMAs. And not only do, when taken before bed, they help with a nice peaceful restful sleep— and sleep is just huge, it's huge for body composition, losing fat, gaining muscle, being stronger. Like, if you miss out on some sleep, you're going to get hungry, your hunger spikes, your leptin, your ghrelin It all messes up. Sleep is just huge. And not to mention, any athletes out there or anyone who partakes in intense training is often low on zinc and magnesium and some vitamin B6 in there as well. Then just some samples. Protein cookie, double chocolate chip flavor and chocolate mint flavor. I've got a pack of the White Chocolate Island. And when you put them— when you eat them cold, crap. When you put them in the microwave, 10 out of 10. It's like a different cookie. So that's what I'm going to do with them as well. And then what did I get here? Some Xceed Berry Blast BCAAs. I just want to try a few flavors out. And sticky toffee flavor whey. And then mocha and latte flavor whey. I'm into coffee. So that is what I picked up today. And that is, you know, pretty much what I take along with creatine monohydrate, pre-workout sometimes. And then beta-alanine, citrulline malate to add to pre-workout. So that's it. My supplement recommendations are creatine, ZMA, omega-3, vitamin D, vitamin C, and that's pretty much it. Pre-workout if you want. On with the video. Now for something very important. Got a fresh sample in of some new LF gear. I hope this is good. I'm about to crack it open now. And if this is like, you know, if this came out right, the fit on these should be next level. But hey, look, let's go. That is a clean fit. Oh my God, I'm so relieved. And also, let me know what colors you would like to see in these. I went for the bigger logo this time. Let me know if you want the smaller logo on the chest. It's all about your feedback. Alright, so sweet potatoes cooking away in there for post-workout. Also, gym outfit of the day. This is just like a black hoodie from, uh, Pennies. Obviously rocking this and some Machine Fitness bottoms. I'm just gonna drink some pre-workout, talk to you guys. I was just on to Joe there, right? I know. A lot of the comments— he just put up one of his vlogs, and a lot of the comments on like my videos and his videos with him, people want to see more of the two of us together. You know, they saw that, you know, we genuinely get along well, and they're like, it was a good collab in that sense. We will be collabing again. Like, the two of us are just like, we just have— we get along great. And like, we were just talking about there, um, you know, how we— you can go through waves of productivity, and like, it's all about just being as productive as you can. But anyways, right, so we're planning our next collab, and you know the way he's going to Australia, our next collab is gonna be in Australia. I'm gonna go out to Australia with him later on in the year, preferably when it's winter here and summer there. I just can't wait for this year, and I'm just so motivated in general, like, just with anything. I just want to kill it this year. Anyways, pre-workout has kicked in. I'm getting tingles, getting the Feels. But, um, so yeah, to wrap up this kind of talk, you know, all about being productive, and you know, at the end of the day, this is going to be a big year for me, but only if I work hard. You know, it's all about, it's all about hard work and how much you put in, and of course being productive. And you know, I've still got so long, so long to go. And also, just, just thank you. I haven't said thank you in a while for for everyone who just watches these videos and just, you know, I really appreciate it. But yes, I have some cool things to come and as always, thank you. I'd be nothing without the viewers. Right, so finally sorted the MP3 player on my— in my car as well. So start off with a bit of Linkin Park. Best gym song ever. Alright, so just gonna do a quick little voiceover for this bench workout, chest and back today. But one thing I have to remember, right, I keep, you know, When you go into the gym, you should always be striving to set PRs, you know, no matter what, if you're bulking or cutting. But obviously, especially if you're bulking. Like, when you're cutting, you gotta understand that you're gonna have bad days and you're not gonna be making much substantial gains, especially if you're out of beginner phase. So today I just went in, did 100kg for 4 sets of 6 to 8. Uh, some sets were better than others, but I have to say I've had better days. But it was a grand workout overall. So I'm gonna let you enjoy this raw footage. I didn't include everything I did and kept it short, but there's a bit of a fat loss update at the end too. So I'll be back for that. But anyways, enjoy, guys. Right, time for some G4P, everyone's favorite. Yay! But, uh, I just included this part to show you the fit of to t-shirts. And remember, this is just a sample, so critique welcome. Any colors or changes that you want, let me know. And then this is where I'm currently at with the old fat loss phase. You know, as you can see, abs clearly visible, chest is looking lean where I hold a lot of body fat. And yeah, about 4 to 6 more weeks to go until I'm where I want to be. And that's it, a proper laid-out cutting plan. And doesn't have to be that hard. And devise a proper plan, hit your macros, train hard, stick to the plan, and the results will come. There is no question about it. So that's just a little update from me. Hope you enjoyed. All right, so back from the gym, and y'all know I like to get a bit crazy with my smoothies. I love kind of thinking up of new concoctions. And when I was in It was Dan Harding's house. He gave me a protein shake and it was chocolate orange flavor and it was amazing. Tastes like Terry's chocolate orange. So I'm gonna try and recreate that. So I got frozen orange in there. Frozen fruit always kind of makes it nice and cold. I'm gonna put some almond butter in and some protein milk and some chocolate whey flavor. So this could go either way. Hopefully it'll turn out decent. All right, this really could go either way. Alright, time for a taste test. Yes, I took a straw from Subway. You know I'm about that poverty life. Who gets that reference? You can't really taste the orange too much, maybe because it was frozen, but it's delicious. I think when you put like ice and milk and like a nice protein powder in, it's hard to make a bad one. That is absolutely quality. Mmm, that is insanely good. Alright, so I'm gonna wrap things up there. This is just like, you know, a little update video, tell you my plans, you know, show you a smoothie, show you my workout and stuff like that. But also, I'm always trying to keep this YouTube channel consistent. In growing your channel, consistency is just so important. Like, if someone clicks onto your channel and they see, you know, last time uploaded, you know, a week or two ago, you know, why would they click subscribe? So I'm trying to keep that consistency up. Anyways, I'm out here. Keep it real. Peace.
