 I guess this is what this has come to. You boys and girls are going to get what you wanted or perhaps what I've wanted. I spent a lot of time thinking last night about the pros and cons of getting back into bodybuilding, lifting weights to prove my intelligence and understanding of hypertrophy, not moving the weight from point A to point B, not getting stronger, not tearing your biceps or blowing out your knees, putting on pure lean body mass. I have dwelled so strongly on this because no one on YouTube, I mean, perhaps even in general, is advocating anything close to my routine or training principles, partially because I'm crazy in every aspect of what I do. And although many of you believe that's because I have no idea what I'm talking about, perhaps the bad kind of crazy, I firmly believe and am confident that I have an advanced understanding of hypertrophy due to my objectiveness and willingness to experiment in the gym. In regards to future opportunities and growing my YouTube channel, this was at the top of the list. I just couldn't think of anything that would make a more drastic impact. I'm coming out with amazing content, high quality stuff every day. I don't think my production quality is that low. Everyone else I'm looking at that's doing things I'm doing has a similar production quality and lower tier of information doesn't upload as consistently, you know, maybe YouTube has something to do with this, but I just can't figure out why I'm putting in all this time, work and effort and things aren't paying off. From an actual time investment standpoint on a daily basis, it's about one hour in the gym every day. And I figure I waste an hour or more doing things every day that I don't have to be doing, plus I should be in the gym working out for an hour a day anyway, might as well be this hypertrophy routine. The main cons from my perspective are that I have really bad stretch marks and they'll get worse, but my stretch marks are so horrible that I don't think that matters at this point. So we could put that on the back burner. I probably won't be able to fit into my dress clothes or some of my shirts, but I don't think that's too big of an issue either. Even if I put two, three, four inches on my arms, I'm not going to put four inches on my arms, but even at the maximum growth potential, I think I should still be able to fit into most of my dress clothes. So even if the wardrobe was what I was concerned about, if this is as successful as I anticipate, I won't give a shit, I'll be buying 10 new wardrobes. So I might be exposed to a relatively high EMF environment in the gym for an hour or so each day, radio frequency, radiation, but what am I going to do? You know, build a gym in my garage. I might do that and I might go on Craigslist and try to put some equipment together, but we'll see how the next few months goes. This is going to be my starting physique. Currently I am five foot eight, technically five foot seven and like nine tenths, just under five eight weighed in at 140 pounds. Some of you guys might not believe my weight of 140 pounds and I weighed this much two days ago after finishing a three day fast and I had a big meal this morning. So I have gained a bit of the weight back and I keep in mind my camera and my tripod weight of a few pounds, 148. So I'm about 145, 146 right now without holding the camera. We'll take some measurements, but I just wanted to give you guys an idea of my overall body frame and my body structure. I have a super tiny bone frame. What you guys have to understand is the amount of muscle I have on my frame is not even close to what an average person would look like due to my small bone structure, narrow frame, just really my genetics in general. I'm predisposed to looking muscular compared to other people that might have a similar poundage of lean body mass, AKA the Italian stone mason genetics. My ancestors flinging around bricks all day has led to something positive. So we'll take some measurements and I already measured before. I don't really think you guys care and I don't really care myself about these measurements, but it's a good starting point and a good metric to know where I am right now, how I look with certain measurements. So my arms, I think we're around 14 and a half inches. I'd say 14 and a half inches and depending on how I move this tape, I can probably manipulate it to be 15 or 14. So 15 inch arms muscular at 140 pounds are not working out in five years. I mean, a lot of you guys might argue I just have good genetics at the end of this, which is what I'm worried about. So, at least from looking good on my own standpoint. I think my forms are around 11 inches at the biggest point. Yeah, about 11 inches. My waist belly button has always been 30. I don't anticipate it really getting more than 32. So if I flex right now, I'm 30. I'll probably get to like 31 or 32 throughout the weightlifting period. Left arm is identical to the right arm I measured earlier. I don't think there's a point of me doing a shoulder measurement here. It's kind of hard to measure your chest and your shoulders on your own, but I can show you guys my chest measurements just to give you an idea of how small my bone frame is. So even my chest at the widest point is probably only like 36, 37 inches because I wear a 36 suit. So my chest is 36 inches and these chest measurements, these shoulder measurements, regardless of how much you lift weights, they don't really get that much bigger. Your bone frame really determines your potential for the size of your chest, for the size of your shoulders, for the size of your waist from a measurement perspective. Your arm muscular measurements are different. Same with calves, but building that density that width in your shoulders is a lot to do with genetics. My calves are 15 inches. Yeah, like 15 and a half, 16 inches. I'm speculating that I can get my arms to 16 inches fairly quickly with muscle memory. That's gonna be the most significant difference. I'm not sure how much muscle I'm gonna be able to put on my back. I've never really done a heavy, super heavy like focused back training as it was never successful for building up my back, but should be able to just put on a decent amount of mass overall. And I just don't know, because I feel like what's the point, because a year from now, even if I do put on all this muscle, am I just gonna decide to stop lifting weights? I guess I could, I guess who cares, right? So the only synthetic substances I've ever used are creatine and pre-workout powders over six years ago. Never used testosterone. Never been to a doctor, used HRT. No hormones, nothing. 100% legitimate, lifetime natural. I'm going to use my understanding of anabolic foods to get results that no one is going to believe. If you guys saw how I raised my testosterone video where I had the fake beard, I got my testosterone from 200 to over 1,000 naturally. Hello, that wasn't really fun to do. I won't be revealing my routine until I am in a position to do so, probably monetizing it, speculating six months, possibly one year from now. I don't know. I estimate my exercise routine to be three to four times more effective than the average one, possibly more. And that combined with my muscle memory and past bodybuilding size, I don't think there's going to be a more drastic transformation as a natural that anyone has done on YouTube. I just don't see it happening on paper. I don't see anyone in a position like I am. Someone that used to lift weights for over seven, eight years. Someone that hasn't lifted weights in such a long period of time, that has an understanding of nutrition, that has such an effective training routine. I think my results are going to be incredibly dramatic and I'm going to speculate minimum six months from now. I'm going to weigh about 170 pounds at a similar body fat. And I kind of wish I just did this six months ago because I started a fitness trial because I didn't want to do this myself. I didn't want to lift weights again. I started a fitness trial six months ago with 50 people and not one of them followed through. And that was a mistake on my part because even when I give people my training routine and have them do it, no one really executes it properly because the way you do the exercises and the load is so different from what people are used to doing in the gym. How fast I progress will determine the frequency of my updates. At best it will be on a monthly basis. Worst case scenario, I will give updates every three months. I don't know if I'll throw fitness videos and start giving fitness advice in between. I might just really buckle down and focus on just the regular health stuff on my YouTube channel. I'm not looking forward to this. I don't want to do this, but I spend my entire day doing things I don't want to do anyway. And I'm always trying to do whatever is going to put me in a position to improve the health and lives of as many people as possible. And if appealing to you fairy muscle boys is what I have to do to get more followers and help more people, that's what I'm going to do. I'm also disappointed that I spent eight years lifting weights consistently and didn't capitalize on it. I don't have a physique at this point in time that allows me to showcase what I've learned. So you guys might want to get a second job because you're going to be writing me a fat ass check in six months. Thank you guys for joining me.
