 We are back You guys are probably too young, but mace huge rapper in the 90s Hook You don't understand mace you nerds right he he crushed the 90s with P. Diddy and biggie And then he took a little break and then the 2000s he came out with the gym welcome welcome welcome Welcome back A little mace in the background right now to tell you guys that I'm back that the vlogs are back That we're traveling again that we're lifting weights again that this channel has just been pumped with 93 high octane gasoline, but you know people talk about pheromones, and I believe I've heard That if you're trying to find a real mate, there's two things welcome. Good morning to sound likes dating show there's two things we need to Automatically attract a mate one is you need a high extreme intense endorphin rushing situation Often people have found this is really good for me by the way that words are coming out my mouth I've had no caffeine normally things are a blabbering but right now we're full on a theme park a gym Perhaps jumping out a freaking airplane whatever is getting those adrenals going it's likely that maybe the men and the women around you Are also going to feel these same emotions and hormones, and you're all going to be attracted to another one another Another situation that may occur, and I've heard this works I don't know maybe we'll test it today with the tall dark and handsome in the other room is that if you smell one's armpits Just get a big width From the sex that you or gender that you are attracted to and you get a width of that thing There's going to be an automatic attraction or maybe nothing, but the natural pheromones of not wearing deodorant Is what this world needs and that the estrogen in lack of attraction and lack of sexual feelings are being Escalated here in America because of this type of anti-person we're using and now don't quote me But you should probably Google that because there is some truth in there somewhere this all started I forgot my deodorant, and I'll tell them the boys. I don't really smell I I can count on my hand one hand that the amount of time that I've had B. Oh Who is this guy Order mile make a right turn on south Boston bypass road Turn on surface road Yeah No amazing Pax East Boston, Massachusetts 2019 my first gaming expo ever I guess we went to TwitchCon I don't know if it counts very excited about 11 o'clock We chose Sunday one because it was cheaper tickets, and I'm cheap too because I heard it's less packed So now we get to make a bunch of new friends like my new friends smashly. Oh my god Pax was cool a couple deductions reductions deductions I deduced What did you do I deduce It's an extreme expo. I guess all expo's I think are extreme But the Arnold for some reason took a route where it became a little more mainstream for just people like to fitness So they would show up to this this is still extreme which is cool, but it's kind of it's kind of funneled into the PC RPG world you agree Where I'm I wouldn't call myself a casual gamer by any sense to me like I'm in it like I watched some competitive stuff I've played some wagers. I've played video games my whole life But I'm more in the console world still just because it's preference and first-person shooters And I guess more major titles where this had a lot of indie stuff Which is really cool to see but it's not stuff I'd play and then it's all yeah highly PC driven and I'd actually say what? 25% is probably involved with like card games and stuff Pokemons gather magic and that's kind of outside of my wheelhouse as well. I'm aware of it, but it's not what I do Cool experience. I think we're gonna head back. We're just grabbing a snack I have eaten nothing except for a pure shot of insulin to my stomach from that croissant That's good Coffee's one LaCroix five dudes one Jim One city one mission Time to get it so Good a bench do some chin-ups a little bit of arm work up here Probably re warm up my lower body go downstairs do some lunges. It kind of two gyms here. It's sick upstairs It's kind of like a mix of what you kind of typically expect plus some I mean they cater it to what they do as a company So like they have some like obviously punching bags and stuff for kind of the UFC MMA world that they work in In the yoga studio some shit up here a bunch of cardio machines And then they also have like kind of regular gym stuff, you know some Cable machines bench etc upstairs and then downstairs is more their CrossFit gym So they've obviously had a partnership with CrossFit for years So do the upper body here then probably head downstairs squat a little bit and then probably call it a day Go find some food. So medium to long workout headed not going too heavy on anything besides squats I might try to hit like a nice little double or something I will see what happens. See all my back feels the bed over sleeping in from like 1985 didn't feel so great But after I warm up, it should feel fine. I think bretsky's mentioned with me We'll see what the other nerds are doing and then On to the adventures fuck guys. Welcome to bean down. I'm here to do some squats. I've been challenged by the one and only Omar Esau and Then I guess re rechallenge double challenged by Bart Kwan To see who can squat 405 pounds for the most amount of reps and as many of you know, I am now dieting I am also on The strength comeback took a little bit of time off from the strength game Just working on a little bit of hypertrophy having some fun feeling good doing a lot of cardio focusing on my businesses my podcast In my twitch, but now the strength games back I'm focusing really hard on my squat and soon going to introduce more high frequency benching so I'm excited for this excited for a little mini challenge with the boys. It's always good fun It's always friendly. No one really cares who wins because I'm Owen 10 on YouTube challenges, but I'm undefeated in your heart and I'm undefeated in real life When real competition comes up I tend to get a little bit more focused and serious when I'm just having fun with the boys I tend to have fun with the boys and not stress about it. So 405 squat challenge going down And that's what I did on this training day. So we only had one training day while we were all in Boston Shout out to my boy bretzky right there the guy who supports me through thick and thin. He's my manager over at Reebok You guys have seen them in a bunch of vlogs, but bretzky brought me and the boys into Reebok upstairs as you guys have maybe seen Kind of more of a typical gym dumbbell squat rack barbells a bunch of cardio machines a Boxing ring different things that they use throughout their campaigns for obviously their sneakers and apparel But also this is the employee only gym and then downstairs is more of a crossfit strength and conditioning style gym And not only for footage to look better for you guys for pictures for Instagram, etc, etc But also for my brains. I want to train them both So we did a little bit upper-body fluff upstairs. I didn't necessarily want a bench bench But I did some pushing with the incline press standing dumbbell, which is what my favorite look at that new clean mullet gosh darn it Start of that thing looks claim and then I did a little chin-ups In between and actually last night Let's shout out Connor who's been working his tail off for this channel for years now filming and Editing and taking a bunch of my pictures and helping me not be a bum He actually said Mike. I was looking at old pictures and it looks like you lost a lot of muscle Well, according to this video right here. I look freaking jacked. So screw you Connor And yeah, am I the am I the most photogenic human on the planet? No, not even close But I actually am pretty happy with my progress. I was going through some philosophical thoughts in my brains thinking This morning about negativity. I handle negativity very poorly I am my own self worst self-critic and so when I hear Negativity from others about myself. I get even more negative because like I've already told myself those same comments a hundred times Mike, you're not good at this improve on this Mike. You need to work better at this Mike You need to be nicer here. You need to do this this and this so then when I hear a third outside Critique from somebody I know or I don't know It holds a lot of weight to me and really affects me on top of that Insanely sensitive human being so it never helps man here. I go try to have a philosophical talk and I'm shaking my wee wee around in a gym I'm a real embarrassment But basically what it comes down to is what I think is Everyone talks about you know those people must say in these comments or self-conscious or whatever it is But what I actually think and that may be the case some people may have You know self-esteem issues in their cells. They're trying to project on to me or whoever they see on the internet But what I honestly think it is is that they're critiquing me like they would critique themselves Which I do think a little bit of self critique Self-analysis self-awareness is a healthy thing for to allow yourself to know what to improve what you like about yourself Which you maybe want to work on yourself and get better For instance, I put up a picture of my two-week diet progress No, I don't take PEDs. No, I don't have enhancements. No, I don't use Photoshop. So the Progress you see may not be what you're used to seeing on the internet Instagram YouTube etc etc etc and people are insulting my chest saying it's not very full and for how much I lift weights I don't have much musculature and this and that this and that And I was thinking well like that kid probably really wants a fuller chest And so for him looking at me said well your chest ain't full But for me, I've never looked at my chest and like man I really want a fuller chest my sinking chest bugs me, you know what I mean? So his own self-critique he's projecting the self-critique maybe not even the self-esteem or the negative stuff on to me Wanting to I guess help me improve my chest, but I'm pretty happy with myself To be quite honest and that sounds maybe dumb for some of you, but I've been in this game a long time as a coach I've been in this game a long time as an athlete I'm literally the leanest I've ever been weighing about 200 205 pounds I've only been leaner one more time previous to this with Omar's help my squats aren't maybe the strongest they've ever been But they're the cleanest they've ever been. I'm feeling really comfortable with my form. I'm staying in a really tight groove I can't handle handle the volume. I want right now as we're building back up to my work capacity But I'm feeling the ground I'm feeling really balanced and I'm feeling really explosive on all my squats So we worked up to 425 for like three or four today a couple down back downs I'm doing similar things every single day somewhere between a single and a triple on a top set somewhere between You know RPE 8 or 9 depending how healthy I'm feeling and then a couple back downs with the volume I can handle squatting two to three times a week Just some thoughts I've been having lately that I thought I'd share with you guys But here's the top set shout out to Reebok for always taking care of me and the family man They've had my back for five years and it really means a lot. You guys know me. I don't really co-signed with a lot of brands There's not a lot of people companies Especially in the industry we I live in that I that I truly believe in and I put my name on But Reebok stamped their name on me and I'll always have their back as long as they're taking care of me So appreciate that fun trip 405 squats next week Little bit of cardio afterwards upper-body fluff feeling good feeling great get a little bit of sweat on and Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the videos. We're moving to three times a week So Monday Thursday Saturday video stay tuned subscribe Thumbs up efficient Workout felt good got everything I needed we are I've been challenged by Omar Esau. I accept that challenge So I had to hit some squats 425 for four which is a comeback PR felt pretty dang good if I do say so myself Then a little bit of salt bike a little sweat on get some of that pizza out of my system I've been to Boston as you guys know been working with Reebok for five years. So I've been here Right ten times And it has like nostalgia to me because my dad used to work here all the time He worked for John Hancock back in the day and one of their main headquarters is here and when I was a kid My dad was gone like Every three weeks you'd be gone for two or three weeks and he always talked about Boston and liking the East Coast And obviously as a kid I never got to go out here and I never got to visit here with him But it's pretty cool to kind of make it a home away up for home for me So we're gonna go to the North End show Kyle bear those on the twitch scene. That's fast thing. He's Kai He's one of my main game-in homies that games with me all the time Become a really close friend. So he's never been to the East Coast He never been further than the Mississippi and so we're gonna show him what little Italy's all about it for pizzas
