Oh, see, so she sure sure I don't know where he just be Look he's got like he's got a brick of peanut butter in his mouth welcome to the video y'all Salamac man today's a good day like every other day we got a q&a taking it from Salamac with 2ks on instagram answering all your questions i got a little front squat and then probably just Ab so training is kind of basic maybe a little cardio we got meetings all day long We're heading to la so things are ripping and rolling You know the ripping in the taran video. It's like this old guy And he's like dancing and he's talking about the ripping in the taran the ripping in the taran He's dancing all sexual comment below if you all know the ripping in the taran I think it's the ripping in the taran But yeah, we got a little front squat because I back squatty yesterday Joe asked me a real good question about squat every day yesterday Shout out my boy Joe another really really top level strength coach And he said uh what uh variations about choosing and I told him i'm making him fucking up Now who he got no plans but again as strict as your goals are As strict as your plan needs to be my goals for my diet are quite strict My goals for squatting is to have some fun. So my plan is outrageous Also, we'll see you in Santa Clara august 13th and 14th We got a booth man good companies first booth tertiary barbell exclusive only the first touches at the expo So powerfest powerlifting expo santa claire august 13th to 14 Do I speak spanish it's embarrassing like over if you take like number over 50% of my family lives in argentina My mom was a spanish teacher for like 25 years. My spanish is below mid That's hard bro i've never done that normally i'm i'm t-rex in it. Yeah, it's a flexibility thing But now we're getting there because i'm so gosh darn skinny here. You see me Now you don't This is a medium. This is a medium a dull medium more. You're asking the wrong guy. I don't even know There's no motivation really. It's just like just goes back to discipline skinny folks, dude My heart my heart is with you guys skinny guys. You go do is eat more. All you gotta do is eat more It's like bitch. You have no idea what you're talking about gaining weight is objectively more difficult Just because it's more action versus inaction Like if you're trying to lose weight's lack of action not being hungry is the worst feeling ever and knowing you have to eat I'm the kind of guy like five cat feet in the morning 10 o'clock. I have energy drink, bro I could go till five o'clock and be like oh, shit. I didn't eat today. It's easy to beat yourself up on both gaining weight and losing weight It's just hard. I think in general like You know 23rd i'm making these up a 20 to 30 percent of people Have no issues with food right they can eat as much as they need for their goal and not think about it Or stay at a healthy body weight And the rest of us are probably splitting the you know in america. It might be more like 50 plus struggle with eating too much And then the other smaller percent 10 20 percent left over Struggle with not eating enough a lot of people blame it on Hypothyroidism and and all these things and that is a very small percentage of people I'm not joking or whatever about it not being real. It's real But it's not the majority of us and people blame it on all these things the other one is genetics and metabolism The difference in metabolic Uh Needs from human to human that are about the same size and weight is miniscule So don't blame it on that either. He's got a fast metabolism. He's got a slow metabolism He eats everything he wants and doesn't gain weight. That's all just not true either The fact of the matter is preparation fixes all these things So I have struggle eating too much. So what do I do? I take trigger foods out of my house So I don't overeat. I plan my meals ahead both in my phone tracking and mentally And physically I know what I get to eat or what I'm about to eat the rest of the day And same as to go if you want to gain weight if you want to gain weight and you open your fridge and all that's in there Is a bunch of lettuce you're not preparing yourself to have the actual success you want So I hate to be the how bad do you want a guy? But if you actually want to reach these goals you have to prepare and set yourself up for success Get the meals ready. Get the the steaks ready. Get the chicken ready. Get the rice ready Get your fats your proteins ready to eat throughout the day track your food ahead of time Even if you're gaining weight often people talk about tracking macros to lose weight If you have issues gaining weight muscle strength size you need to track your food just as much Just as strict as if you're going to lose it Is this supposed to be gym specific? okay, so I guess one of them that um, isn't really gym specific Is getting more comfortable posting more and just having a a better online Peasants um on my instagram So it's growing a little bit and um, I want to be able to post more comfortably and show more my personality on there I feel like a lot of my feet is just like lifting which is totally fine That's that really is me But I want to get comfortable with sharing who I am With everyone and getting to know other people too. Um as for gym goals, it's just really building right now So the next me I know I'm going to be doing is nationals next year. So that's more than like a year Um that I have time to to prepare for so I really just want to build From the ground like get strong a really really strong strong foundation So whatever I have like four two zero tempos just trying to build that up. I'm not worried too much about like Anything else other than getting my sets of sevens up if want to get really specific For deadlifts, which is my strongest lift and my best lift working on trying to keep my hips from rising off the floor Which is more noticeable when I'm doing pause deadlifts So my hips are dry and then my back would kind of correct itself So I'm trying to get everything smooth right off the floor And then lock my lockout is fine. Well, people know my deadlift mostly Not my spot or bench, but it's not perfect. It's like it's good, but it's not perfect And I still want I still want to work on it and make it better. So yeah My instagram is avi.lu so avi.li you follow me there I got so many talents and none of them are hidden no more. They all been seat Um, we talked about it half jokingly, but not if I knew I was so in my bubble growing up because I did go to our school a lot of my homies didn't play video games Like I did they played but not like me I think if I would have known there was more like a tournament competitive pro scene I think I would have tried to go in As a late and adult like streaming and shit's been so fun I didn't really know that was a thing like I watched youtube and stuff But I didn't know how those guys became pros like I didn't understand it And you know sometimes so like to learn a lot about stuff. You need to homies to bounce it off Right like you say like oh you seen this sneaker and I'm like, oh, yeah But if you see this and kind of share info and you all learn different things I didn't really have that with gaming Um, so maybe gaming and streaming harder because I didn't start streaming till I was like 28 I mean I gained my whole life, but it was just like not that it's too late I still think I might go harder in that but I really do enjoy gaming Competitively and as entertainment.
