In this vlog, the host welcomes guest bodybuilder Alex Koenig to his apartment gym for a shoulder‑and‑triceps push session. Alex introduces himself, recounting his rapid transformation from 215 lb to 152 lb, his two‑year competitive bodybuilding experience (3rd place then 2nd, now chasing 1st), and his overall training philosophy. The video then moves into the workout, with Alex leading the host through the shoulder‑press movement, emphasizing range‑of‑motion cues (stop at ear level, controlled ascent) and the broader push‑pull‑legs‑core split he follows during the week. Background music plays intermittently, adding a casual, upbeat vibe. The content blends instructional workout guidance with personal storytelling about Alex’s bodybuilding journey.
Alright, what's up guys? So we're here in my apartment gym and the other week I met Alex. Now me and Alex started talking, I was like, "Oh, big ass dude," and he was telling me how he's been competing and I want to learn as much as I can from him. So guys, without further ado, this is Alex. He's gonna run us through a workout today. Alex, you want to tell them a little bit about yourself?
Definitely. How's it going guys? My name is Alex Koenig and I've been competing for about a year and a half. I've actually Actually, it was funny, it started as a weight loss journey. Went from 215 to 152, decided that I was really passionate about bodybuilding. I competed twice, got 3rd place my first time and then 2nd my second time. And now I'm trying to fight to get my first place. So today we're gonna hit shoulders and triceps and kind of go over like the fundamentals of my push, pull, legs, and core that I hit during the week. This would be the push day of my workout, but we're not hitting chest, we're just gonna focus on shoulders and tris. All right guys, so right now we're gonna be hitting shoulder presses. You go down We're not gonna go below our ears, right? We're gonna go right to our ears, pump back up, and slowly—
[MUSIC] This is my melody and it's just a raver's fantasy, but I know if you're in love with me tonight, we'll rave it through the night. This is my melody and it's just a raver's fantasy, but I know—
So that's what extra carbs will do. You start to get a little bit more, a little bit more vascular. See, what I like about this is like dumbbells and stuff is very high load, and, uh, when you move to a machine or something like this, I don't know if it's mental, but it just feels easier. It's not as like as intense as moving out heavy-ass dumbbells is. Doesn't make any goddamn sense to me. Like, I've heard the science, I've heard what they say, about why it rains. They say that the water on the ground gets too hot and it floats up to the sky and it accumulates and it gets too heavy that it has to fall. Okay, that sounds like fucking bullshit. Like, seriously, like, what's going on with that? What are people talking about? I don't— I get that it's what the scientists say and everything, but it doesn't make any goddamn sense in my mind. So, all right guys, that was some shoulders and triceps. I'm feeling fucking pumped up. Uh, what you guys need to do now is go follow my man Alex on Instagram. Appreciate that, bro. Thank you. Let us know, let us know in the comments right now, you guys want to see some more workouts? Um, if so, drop a comment. If you haven't already, make sure and subscribe to the channel. Um, now we're gonna go off. I need to go get some blood work done, so you guys can come with me and see what that's all about. Uh, just finished our workout. We had to start a little bit later than normal. Um, we were supposed to work out at 7 AM and like be finished up around like 9, but that is not how it ended up because I had to go and run and get the camera, all the other audio equipment at the gym. Gym, or I'm sorry, in my office. So that kind of put a wrench in the plans. No worries though, got a banger workout in. We got a ton to do today. Um, right now we're gonna go to the— we're gonna go to the lab to get my blood work done. For those of you guys who don't know, I'm on TRT, testosterone replacement therapy. I'll talk more about that and I'll kind of explain to you guys why I'm on TRT, what TRT does for me, everything like that. But after that, we'll get to the office. We have new executive assistant/transaction coordinator starting today. Her name is Valentina, so, uh, she's getting onboarded right now. Everything's running smoothly at the office, deals are happening. I've got my phone right now, we got deals hitting the market, we got closing schedules, things are moving. All right, forgot how to get the, uh, lab order, so, uh, now we're actually gonna go. Well, I sold my Porsche 911 Carrera, uh, got this GLE 53 AMG, and the reason why is the Porsche has no bells and whistles, bro. That that car was made specifically for performance, and you can tell because it's not comfortable. It's a ton of fun to drive. It was like just driving like a little go-kart. But this thing, dude, we got like— number one, it's so smooth, so quiet. Like, Mercedes just does luxury so well. Plus I got some cool shit. But we got cool stuff like with the HUD. There's so much customized— like, there's so much customizations. There's so many customizations available. Um, and at nighttime it looks super sick because of all the LED lighting. And I'm not even gonna lie, that's what sold me. It was like the RGB lighting is throughout. I saw that and dude, I'm a sucker for the RGB. Alright, we're finally here at LabCorp. So we're gonna come, they're gonna test my blood, see what's going on. I absolutely hate LabCorp. This is the worst place in the world. See, like a lot of people who get like court-ordered drug tests and things have to go here. So it's always a very interesting crowd, but you got to do what you got to do. All right, we got that fucking blood work done. Only took us going to two different lab corps and dealing with a variety of crackheads and other pissed-off people. And now we're here to the promised land, Chipotle, where some more gains will be made.
