no more parties in LA

What is up everyone, welcome to the video. Time for a life update and a quick recap on the last 2 weeks. So sit back, thumbs up the video, and let's catch you up. So I surprised my family with a trip to LA. It is the first time I've ever done something like this, and it feels absolutely amazing to be in a position where I'm able to give back. I rented a beautiful villa in Santa Monica for all of us and had one of the best weeks of my life. We ate nice food, exercised, went out for dinner, Got some sun, and it was the first time in a long time where we got to spend some quality family time together. I only recently realized how important family really is, especially in a world where it is now very hard to find people you can trust. When I was in LA, I caught up with some friends, old and new, trained in Ghost for the week, trained a lot with Janos, who you all need to check out and go subscribe to. He's a crazy Spanish boss. Went to Muscle Beach and, uh, did some interesting workouts. Ate poke, ate froyo, and then to top it all off, last minute, I went to festival down in Palm Springs called Splash House. Think of the most epic pool party you've ever been to and multiply it by 10. I went back to LA, recovered for a few days, caught a workout with my bro Nick who lives in LA. We hit chess, we ate some Brazilian food, we hiked Runyon Canyon and had an epic bro day. After that, flew out to Texas for the Alpha Elite Summer Shredding event. So I think that is everything. Summer has well and surely begun and it is gonna be a good one. That's what I've been up to. Forever grateful to be able to live this lifestyle. I'll see you in Texas. The 368 Kitchen. Okay, so anyways, I'm finishing up today eating a salad that I got in Ralph's. It actually rivals Whole Foods, which you know I really love. Watching a little bit of Casey Neistat, who, you know, I'm still into. Went off his vlogs for a little bit and now he's back on that 368 hype and I'm liking it. And then I'm also writing out a couple of video ideas, okay? As a YouTuber, that is a big, big tip I have, right? If you write down anything, it's more likely to happen. So do yourself a favor, right? Let's say you're planning out your month, write down 30 to 40 video ideas, and if you do 20 of them, well then, that's good going. So I'm gonna finish this, watch a little bit of YouTube, get some emails, and kind of some work on the back end of my app. I will see you guys in Texas. Let's go! Yo guys, good morning! Welcome to today's video. Now it is the day of the Summer Shredding Classic, okay? I'm just backstage here, um, Wow, look at all the camera equipment, I love it. So I'm just backstage here and as you know, I'm one of the judges. So I'm about to go out and kind of get everything sorted, meet the rest of the judges. I like know them all already and just, man, the atmosphere here is crazy. I'm gonna give you guys a look around. I'm super proud of my bro Christian as well for just making this all come to life too. We go out here. There is just like, there's just like a buzz everywhere. Like people are about to start going on stage soon enough. People are like warming up back here. Whoa, we got a beautiful golden Man, what the hell? We got Chris Atkins, bro. Good to see you, man. You well? But so the place is just absolutely buzzing, and, uh, I'm about to find my little judges table and get things started. Oh, here's the stage, and here is the rest of the judges. This is the crew. This is where we're going to be judging, and then this is the arena. This is the auditorium. So we're just about to kick things off. I did a little outfit change in some new Alpha Elite that we're going to be shooting this week. I'm feeling very good. Let's do this. Summer Training Classic 2018, let's go! Okay, so we're coming near the end of the competition, and I think this is one of the best ideas ever. There's a transformation section, okay? And so we see them on stage there, and then this is their 4 pictures up here. I'm gonna get judging, really creative, and I think this is actually my favorite part of the show. I mean, I'm having an amazing time here. I'm obviously not a judge, so I'm just like talking to all the competitors, like pumping them up before they go on. Yeah, I said that. Making the vision is absolutely sick, man. So many cool stories. Yeah, I love that idea. I think that was like one of my favorite, my favorite parts of the whole thing. So now, uh, that's the show done. Uh, there's obviously finals later on, but we are going to go back to Christian's house and Mama Guzman is cooking us some big— oh yeah, some large amounts food. Oh yeah, oh yeah, let's get it. Me and him really enjoy eating together. Yeah, we— the intermittent fasters enjoy their food. We know what's up. How excited for food are you guys? Oh man, what are you going to do to it, Max? Fuck that food. Fuck that food. Penetrate it. Max always takes it just one step too far. Yo, yo, yo, what's up? How are you doing? I'm great. We're getting some authentic cooking today. Funny, you guys don't know Mama Guzman. Mama Guzman. Mama Guzman, she is like a caterer. Like, that's like her profession. So she is so good at cooking for large groups of people. So this is what is about to go down. You excited, big man? Only reason I'm here, man. We're here for the food. So what's going on, Mrs. Guzman? We have, uh, some steak here going on. We have some, um, uh, chicken with, um, teriyaki sauce and And then we're gonna have some vegetables and mashed potatoes and everything is going on right now. That is the shit right there. Like we were just saying, okay, simple food is what's up, okay? Meat, vegetable, carb, that's what's up. And a little bit of sauce. Oh my God, this is amazing. Amazing. We starved so much, so much starving. This is it. This is the reward at the end of summer shredding. Happy birthday, dear Emily. Happy birthday to you. And many more. Mejor que sexo. You're the first one. What the hell's happening? That is crazy. Is that it? That's bigger than my whole face. Raymond, Raymond, give us, give us the biceps. Holy shit. So basically what's going on here is we ate so much food, everyone's just got a mad pump apart from me and Max. And yeah, we're all just having a flex off. It's great, it's what we do. Cake, the heat, holy crap. That's how you do it, people. Lemon cake, heat, and one week post-show. There you go. Okay people, so finished up at lunch and now we're back at the Stafford Centre and we're gonna finish off with finals and then it's party time. So we're riding in Joe's AMG, it is freaking badass. My first time in it. I'd say it's about 93 degrees. You say? You reckon? I'd say If I was to guesstimate, roughly 93. Max the Weatherman, everyone, go subscribe.
