In today's video I'm going to illegally trespass
on the 13th hole of a private golf course
and tell you why I almost took anabolic steroids,
why I stopped eating clean for an entire month
and what I call the trifecta of muscle growth.
I'm going to share a trick with you at the
end of this video, how you can literally force
muscle growth into your training sessions.
Let's dive right into it.
All right guys, so real talk from the 13th
hole and I know I've fucked with you guys
in the past, but this is a true story.
100 percent not lying, so pay very close attention
because I have a feeling that it's going to
mean something to you guys and it might be
something you guys have mentally gone through
yourselves.
Last month, I'd say like starting five - six
weeks ago I was going through a really stressful
time in my life where - nothing to do with
the channel or anything like that, but I had
a business partner owed me thousands of dollars,
kind of stressed out about that.
I had a birthday little over a month ago and
everything in my life just felt so heavy.
I was like holy shit, I'm a year older.
I'm not happy with where I am.
I thought I would be so much farther in my
life.
I thought I'd be millionaire by now.
I just have these big goals that I set for
myself, so a birthday is a milestone of you're
another year older and you kind of - at least
me, personally, I kind of line myself up with
where I think I should be and where I am and
it's like I thought I would be here and I
was kind of like right here.
Then my training took a major hit.
My training - I wasn't even that motivated
to go to the gym.
There were days when I would go to the gym,
literally 15 minutes I'd walk in and I'd walk
out.
I just didn't have it.
I felt like I had been training so hard for
so long and I've just hit this plateau and
I just didn't really have the motivation to
train for a couple of weeks.
I got thinking, I was like I know for a fact
the majority of the big fitness YouTubers
are taking steroids.
I know what they're doing.
I go to the fitness conventions.
I talk to people.
I know what's going on on a lot of big fitness
YouTubers, a lot of big fitness models.
I thought to myself for the first time in
my life I'm actually going to take anabolic
steroids.
I figure I'm the perfect candidate.
I've been training all natural for ten years.
I've pretty much reached like 90 to 90 percent
of probably my genetic potential.
I've been doing the right thing for so long,
if I just go on like a nice safe, first cycle
I'm going to see really good results and hopefully
minimize the downside.
I start searching like online and I'm searching
all over the internet.
I'm doing my research.
And this stuff is really complicated guys.
Anyone who's going to start taking anabolic
steroids, you have a lot of things to figure
out.
A ton of research goes into this.
Not only like what you're going to take your
first cycle, but how you're going to get it
and everything because it is a shady underground
thing going on the dark web for the people
who are taking anabolic steroids.
I did research for a very, very long time.
I knew how I was going to get it.
I knew exactly what I was going to do.
I knew what I was going to take on cycle,
my PCT, everything.
So close to actually placing the order, which
I won't even tell you how you do.
I'm on my computer one night and I'm on my
iCloud storage.
I'm looking at all these pictures from like
trips I've taken over the past couple years
and I find this album from when I was in Barbados.
In fact, if you look on the channel, a year
and a half to two years ago I shot these videos
in Barbados.
I'm wearing like a shirt with a tiger on them.
I'm shredded.
I look like a fricking action figure not even
going to lie in those videos.
Super lean, supper ripped.
I find all these pictures of myself at the
beach and I'm looking at them and I'm like,
I like how that person looks.
I look super ripped.
I'm lean.
I look natural.
I don't look like a bodybuilder, but I look
like an action figure, which is what I always
wanted to look like just someone who's super
ripped, someone who looks athletic, someone
who's muscular, but also looks like an athlete.
I don't want to look like some big dumb bodybuilder
who can't jump, who can't run.
I'm looking at this picture from two years
ago and I'm like, I like how that person looks.
I look fucking good.
Then I thought to myself, taking steroids
isn't going to really help me look better.
I was basically overreacting to a lot of things
going in my life emotionally and I felt like
my workouts - I was here and I kind of went
back to here and I thought that steroids were
going to help me go get to right here.
I was thinking I like how that looks.
And I'm thinking two years have gone by, I'm
stronger on every compound lift.
I've got five to seven more pounds of lean
muscle mass right now than I did back then.
If I cut down, if I straighten my diet out,
straighten my training out for the next three
months, I will look way better than even in
that picture and I will literally look precisely
how a fitness model should look.
So I'm like - so here's the thing that I'm
getting at.
How you feel emotionally in the short term,
you cannot let that dictate your decisions
in the long term because here's the thing,
I go on, I take anabolic steroids for eight
to twelve weeks, accelerate my muscle growth,
but then there's a very good chance that for
six to eight weeks after that, I stop taking
the cycle, my energy levels and natural testosterone
levels are going to plummet.
I'm going to probably feel like shit for six
to eight weeks.
Then another thing I'm probably - I literally
could increase my chance of losing my hair.
I could have massive acne on my shoulders
and my back.
Those are like the two dead giveaways that
someone's taking anabolic steroids.
Me, I want to get back into acting.
I want to look really good just aesthetically,
like my face and everything.
I don't care about looking like a giant beast
who has 30 pounds more muscle mass on me with
acne and like a receding hairline.
I was like it's not even going to make me
look better, so why the hell should I do it.
It's kind of funny, I just literally stumbled
on a picture and that's what caused me to
not place the order and now honestly my motivation
is higher than it ever has been before.
I'm back to eating clean.
I'm back to running sprints.
And another thing too, I figured out, packing
on five to seven pounds of body fat made me
look a lot smaller and kind of fucked me up
in the head because I thought that I actually
lost muscle mass even though I really didn't
because my strength is still there.
Packing on body fat kind of fucked me up in
the head as well.
So for you guys, just stay with the course.
Go the all-natural route.
There are just so many negative side effects
that go from cheating and it's just a really
vicious cycle.
Now enough of my story.
I want to share with you guys the trifecta
of muscle growth that I've been doing recently
that is going to literally force muscle growth
into your body.
So what you're going to do is you're going
to do three elements of this exercise in every
single workout.
Say for instance you're trying to bring up
your chest, what I want you to do is you want
to go four to six repetitions eccentric overload
on a chest press like a compound movement.
Say you're doing the bench press that means
you're going down to a count of three eccentric
overload for three seconds and back up.
But I want you to go heavy eccentric overload
so something that you can only do four to
six times at your max.
So go really heavy on eccentric overload on
either a major dumbbell or a major barbell
press, so you want to have that element into
your workout.
The other element I want you to have is lactic
acid training.
I want you do to a shaper where you're doing
20 to 30 repetitions, so say you're trying
to bring up your chest; you do the eccentric
overload on the bench press.
I want you to do a shaper, so say we're doing
the low cable fly, I want you to do really
high rep, channel that mind muscle connection,
get that deep burn and go 20 to 30 reps, just
squeezing the shit out of the muscle the entire
time.
This is the hard core bodybuilding training
that's going to actually help you pack on
muscle right onto your chest.
And then the trifecta, the third element into
your training, is right after you get done
training, I want you to do isometric holds.
You can do it right after your training or
you can do it right after your sets.
But do isometric holds, so just flex and tense,
like I feel the shit out of my chest right
now just doing it and I haven't even worked
out today.
So do these isometric holds.
So to actually force muscle growth into a
particular muscle group, you've got to have
the trifecta going, so heavy, eccentric overload,
lactic acid, high repetition training with
a shaper movement and then the isometric hold.
All right guys, so I'm on my way home from
filming and got kicked out by the security
guard at the golf course so let me know if
you have any questions about the trifecta
of muscle growth in the comments below.
