Independence Gym Arm Day

Well, everything is going against us from hitting 225 on military press. So they weren't— they didn't let me in, or they wouldn't let us record it at my apartment gym where there's a setup for it. And then here they don't have a— like, I would have to drag one of these like all the way to the other side of the gym to do that, and then I would feel like a fucking asshole. So we're not going for 225. We're just gonna hit some regular shoulder press, and I guess we're just gonna have to absolutely fucking destroy our shoulders and arms, and, uh, we'll go for it next time, I guess. But, uh, Let's get after it. The thing, dude, when you're coming out with like making content stuff It's a full-time job, like constantly being aware of, hey, what the fuck do I need to make a video of? And it's crazy because that's just like a thought that's constantly running in the back of my mind. I'm always like, oh, that'd be a great hook, or damn, that's some controversial shit I could talk about. But it's a lot of work. Where the fuck's my water? I think that with TikTok there's such a big opportunity because I know personally, like, you go around, like, when we're at Muscle Factory, which is a gym with like a very large demographic of younger people, everybody there, they're wearing fucking all the big like TikTok brands. They're wearing fucking Young LA and Inaka and like, um, just these brands that became popular I think because they use TikTok so well. And that's one thing, like, I made a video talking about how impressive Young LA was, but it made me realize the power of influencer and affiliate marketing. Because I know, like, the reason I wear Young LA is because I see these dudes that I like, like Sush and D-Trend, and they wear it. So I'm like, oh dude, that shit's dope. And also they just like make really good clothes. But you can tell, bro, like, especially with the gym, how much of gym culture's influence in TikTok and Instagram Reels is crazy. From the workouts everybody does. Like, I remember JPG started to become popular, and everybody— you go to the gym and you— all you see is people doing these optimal workouts, which is like— I think it's cool that it just is allowed, like where it came from. Like, when I started in the gym, everything was like bodybuilding.com forms, and that's what everybody was doing, right? But now it's just like the exchange of information is better, people have access to better stuff. It's causing kids like, dude, high schoolers did not look the way they do now. Like, now you got these high schoolers that are fucking jacked, and I think it's because they have access to better information, right? So honestly, we encountered a lot of obstacles trying to hit 225 on military press. I mean, we're not even allowed to, or we couldn't even attempt it today. We had fucking dumb fuck telling me I couldn't work out at my own gym or couldn't film, whatever. It's all right, we moved past that. We had to have a phenomenal workout at Independence Gym, which by the way, dude, this place right here in Scottsdale, it's really close to my place. This place kicks ass for a bodybuilding gym. There's a lot of super nice stuff in there, a lot of fucking swole-ass people, super good vibe in there. I really like this place. Um, guys, if you haven't already, we're still running the giveaway.
