 We'll open that one up, welcome to another episode, today we're going to start with doing a supplement review. Now with supplement warfare I've got a couple of samples, you might have seen that in the previous video. One of the samples was actually of a product that I use a lot, which is Amino Energy. Now usually I'll buy them in either 30 or 60 ton containers, most likely I'll be getting grape or watermelon, but there is a new flavour that I got given as a sample. And obviously usually with new flavours and stuff I like to stick with what I know, I don't like to spend money on a supplement, get it home, taste it and think fuck there's no way I'm going to be able to finish that because it tastes so bad. So anyways Amino Energy is usually pretty damn good, pretty on the money with the flavours. So this one is strawberry and lime. Now usually I probably wouldn't like this because strawberry is more like a sweet sort of taste, lime is like a citrus taste. And usually when they try and combine the two, it doesn't really come out too well. In fact usually when you've got a strawberry kiwi flavour, I think that's the reason why I'm thinking I won't like this is because usually when I get a strawberry kiwi flavour, which is strawberry and kiwi fruit, the kiwi is just better and they just cannot mix it properly with the sweet flavour so it's really overpowering but we're about to see how this goes. Now one, two scoops, sorry, two scoops in a serve, half a pack is two scoops which is 160 milligrams of caffeine so we're going to go half a packet and see how it tastes. So actually you know what, I want a little bit more, I'm going to go most of it. Not bad, as most of it. See how it goes, not strong enough. It's too watery so I'm going to add in the whole lot, see how we go. Put most of it in before anyway. Not bad, not bad but exactly what I expected to happen did happen and the lime just does not mix properly with the strawberry. But with that said this is going to be my pre-workout of choice today and we're going to go and train some arms. I'm going to take the camera down, I'm going to get some footage. And before I do go, shoes for today. These are officially my oldest pair of shoes, my oldest living pair of shoes and they were bought, a bit of a story time before I do go to the gym. These shoes were bought as a present for me by my dad before I went away to the New Zealand High School National Basketball Tournament and I was back in 2006, the end of 2006. So I just turned, sorry no, the end of 2007. So I was 16 and a half and I went with my high school, Cashmere High School. We went unbeaten in the whole entire tournament throughout the year with the local high schools and then from there we got a birth in the national tournament. Which was, man, it was fucking awesome late. What an amazing experience because we actually had a really great team and I definitely wasn't a starter, I was on a bench, I was pretty shit compared to the best players but the fact that we went through a whole season unbeaten and I went to the nationals and we didn't do that well but fuck it was an awesome experience and these shoes got worn for that tournament and pretty much that's it because I quit basketball the next year and I was in the next rugby actually. So these little babies which are extremely comfortable and support your ankle really well I've been using for the gym for probably the last couple of weeks and they're fucking brilliant. So who would have known, ten years later after thinking I would never wear these again loving them from city to city, country to country but finally I actually do really like them and I am wearing them so that's cool. They are about 250 bucks back in the day so they'll probably be a retros by now if I only dealt with perfect condition. But yeah, that's it. Training some arms, leg up. Halfway through the arms workout we've finished with biceps as is five working sets each, the last one being a drop set as I'm sure I just told you in the voiceover but I thought that right now would be a good time to once again measure my arms. Now I do have a pump I don't normally measure my arms when you've got a pump in fact I think it's quite pointless but I do want to see what they do measure after a good biceps workout. So without further ado let's do that. For anyone who's wondering the last time I measured my arms I did it on camera, it's actually a video within my library so you go check it out. They measured 16 inches on the dot cold, no pump and I was definitely dieting so they have grown but as I said I've got a pump so it's not really accurate but anyways, let's see what's that good So they stopped at 44 centimetres which is 44 is 17 and a third inches. So I reckon if I were going to tricep pump at the same time could be closer to 18 inches but we're about to find out actually because I'm about to pass the trice but like I said biceps are done biceps are done and let's get into it Alright we're back mid tricep workout this time and we're going to try it again to see what we get it's just 44 and a half do the other half when they're pumped. That means that when they're not that might be 42 and a half which is 16 and 3 quarter inches which means my arms are growing and that's the main thing we're back into it. Workout. Alright guys one pretty damn successful arms workout. I'm feeling pretty pumped right now and it is fucking hot in here I can confirm arms are done. I'm feeling pumped they measured. What did they measure? 17 fuck it we'll do it again we'll do it again and that my friends is 44 and a half motherfucking centimetres which is once and for all 44 and a half after a workout of course is it's 17 and 2 thirds so I reckon I could get them up to 18 if I took a pump supplement which I never do and I had an amazing workout full of volume and pumped shit out of my arms but I obviously hadn't trained triceps yet when I I'm really happy about that because it's a larger measurement than I've ever had before and how can that be a bad thing so I'm stoked I'm just wondering what they are when they're completely cold first thing in the morning so with that being said next video I'll probably do that and that will definitely be the standard going forward for me so but obviously the leaner your arms are you know the more impressive it is your measurement so at 16 inches my arms were pretty lean I honestly don't think I've put on a lot of fat around my arms so you know if they do measure 16 and 3 quarter inches I reckon at least half an inch of that is definitely muscle mass gain which is that's what we want to do guys that's what I want to fucking do so I'm stoked I'm sweating like a mother fucker in here um where's my hair tie going oh no don't tell me oh no there it is there we go so I'm going to go home and have a post workout meal I don't know what it's going to be I never know what it's going to be so I'll let you guys know when I know
