 All right everybody. What is going on? Welcome back to another video. Today's video is going to be pretty interesting. This is the first of a weekly series, the first video of a weekly series that I'm starting. I've actually started this series probably three or four times in the last six months knowing that I have to bulk, knowing that I have to put on muscle again, knowing that I have to get up to 220 pounds which is my playing weight in life to be honest, not just football. And so today's the day. The date is Thursday, the 11th of July. I'm here in my office at 7 in the morning. I've just finished a night shift. I'm feeling hungry so I'm going to get a weight. I'm going to take my measurements as I always do. I'm going to get some pictures. I'm going to give you guys an update of my physique and this is day number one. Day number one of my bulk. Now it may be a clean bulk, it may be a dirty bulk. I'm not exactly sure how we're going to do it but I am going to track every single thing that I eat and drink. Every calorie, every macro. I'm going to track every training session as you already know I'm doing. I'm also going to include some training footage of my bench, squat and deadlift because those three are the three major compound lifts as everyone says and at the end of the day if you want to base a good strength in muscle building program you'd be best to base it around those three lifts. Nothing taxes your back more than a deadlift and your traps and everything. Nothing taxes your legs, your glutes, your hamstrings, everything other than a squat, more than a squat and nothing taxes your chest, shoulders and triceps more than a bench press. So for me to try and use any muscle memory I do have and pack on any muscle that I have had in the past it's most likely you're going to come back you know relatively quickly but I'm going to have to be careful not to eat too much because that's what I normally do. I'll go into a bulk like this. I'll be in relatively lean state which I am right now. I haven't put on a huge amount of fat. I'm sitting at about 91 or 92 kg. My highest has been 105. My lowest over the last two years has been 87. So we're 5 kgs over my lowest but 13 kgs under my highest weight and that was over 230 pounds and I can't even remember what it was like being that big. I really can't but the thought of being 220 or 230 pounds at six foot one excites me. That's the weight that I want to be. I want to be big. I want to fill out a shirt. I don't really care about my abs but you know we're going to track all that. So that's enough of me talking. Okay this is day number one of our bulking transformation. Anyone out there you want to embark on a cutting transformation? You want to embark on a bulking transformation? You want to get back in the gym after some time off? You want to start a diet? You want to do anything to do with fitness or bodybuilding? Come along for the ride. Let's tune into these videos. We're going to be doing it together. I'm bulking. You choose what you want to do. I'm going to take some measurements and get a weight and talk to you guys a little bit more about how this video series is going to be structured because right now I'm trying to work it out in my head and we're doing this on the fly as I normally do and I actually don't have any answers but what I do have is a measuring tape. So we're going to take some measurements. I've got my notebook which some of you guys may remember, some of you may not but for my last 12-week cutting transformation we laid it out like this and that's exactly what we're going to do now. So we've got measurements, day one, two weeks, four weeks, six weeks and the difference and then we came over here and we did eight weeks, ten weeks and twelve weeks. So the measurements I took and the measurements I'm going to take this time remain the same. We've got neck, shoulders, chest, waist, left arm, right arm, left thigh, right thigh, left calf, right calf and this was a bulking transformation. So I started from 98 kilos. I think we've got the weight somewhere here. Where is it? It's been a while man. I'm glad I kept this though. This is exactly the reason why I do these kind of things. Okay I'm not sure about weight but basically from what I can remember I started at about 98 kilos. After the first two weeks I dropped a lot of water and I went down to about 95. After four weeks I was about 93. After six weeks about 91. Eight weeks about 90. Ten weeks about 89 and a half and at the 12-week mark I was 88 and a half kilos. So that's nearly 10 kilos dropped in 12 weeks. Now I'm going to flip it around this time and do a bulk but I'm definitely assuming in the next 12 weeks I can definitely get above 220 pounds you know without putting on a huge amount of fat because I do have muscle memory. I've got muscle that I've had in the past that I've let go and being a natural athlete never having taken any steroids that means that you know it should come back relatively quickly and that's what I'm hoping. So without further ado I'm going to set up a table like this. I'm going to get my measurements and I'll see in a sec. Or should I say a neck minute? Neck minute. Alright guys so I might as well do this on camera actually. Keep it legit. Today's date I'm going to show you that. Oh we've got a message. It's 7.33 in the morning on Thursday the 11th of July. Vulking transformation. Measurements. Day zero. 8.14. 8.28. Okay so the first page we're just going to do six weeks and then if we're still going we'll flip it over to the next one. Okay so we've got neck, shoulders, chest, waist, left arm, right arm, left thigh, right thigh, left calf and right calf. Now I didn't really want to put calves on there but I did it last time and what you'll find is that calves really don't change a hell of a lot for me anyway but genetically unless you do put on a lot of body fat and your calves start holding body fat they're most likely not you know not going to change a whole lot. So whether I'm going to train calves in this bulk or not is up to me. Like I said I'm going to base my training around those three compound lifts. I'm going to get those out of the way probably spend a good 30 or 40 minutes on that lift. Maybe 10, 12 sets total and then from there assess how I'm feeling and go and do my accessory work. Okay so let's get some measurements. Now excuse the for anyone who for anyone who's offended by any of this I want to say fuck you. No honestly we're not about that here and if you were here you know a year or two ago I had no problem taking off my shirt in front of my YouTube viewers but the time has come guys. The time has come to bulk and I cannot wait. So first measurement first measurement we've got neck 16 and a half all right we're going to do it in inches as well shoulders so the way I take the shoulder measurement is just on the widest point of the shoulder no tensing straight across the chest and the back. Now we want to be legit because this transformation I'm hope hoping is going to be quite impressive. So I would call that 51. Chest. Chest is exactly the same except underneath the arms. I think Arnold back in the day had a 52 inch chest okay so just for reference old Arnie had about well a good seven and a half inches on me because I'm 44 and a half waist. This is going to be the one that I'm going to want to stay the same if possible but it's not going to happen I know it I know it but you know if right now if we're starting I haven't taken my waist measurement for ages if we're starting at 34 inches or below then we've got a chance of holding it together. Let's see okay I'll call it 34 what do you reckon? It's no tensing I could bring it in to 33 but we don't want that we want a true measurement so that's 34 inches sweet left arm I would say I would say 16 so we've got 16 for that one and I'd say 16 for that one too so 16 inches maybe a little bit less but we'll call it 16 all right this is a bit of a tragedy for me I thought that I did have big legs but well I haven't trained them so what do you expect but we're still sitting at call it 24 and a half and the exact same on the other leg and last but not least let's do the calves well actually it is least but keep this legit 15 and a half okay let's write that down now let me pick up my dignity and I'll see you guys over at the desk to discuss our newest findings but no if you want a quick quick side chest that's how we're looking that's one of the bodybuilding poses we've got a side tricep I'm gonna do a bit of posing to get my still shots other side now I can pick up my dignity finally been putting this video off for bloody ages guys but the time has come it's about time to okay so I'm not gonna talk too much more you guys know what we're up to I'll turn this light on though or will I there's not a huge amount to say what I do want to say is that I've got my supplements up there ready to go the gym is next door believe it or not I would show you but well fuck we need a weight we do need a weight you know what I'm gonna take my phone down right now and film what I weigh on the scales in the gym so we're gonna use a consistent scale we're gonna use that scale we're gonna use the same lighting in here the same setup for measurements for photos and for the weight and that's exactly what you should be doing so I'll see in a second 92 where'd my bloody pen go there she is alright I'm just gonna put up the top 92.1 kg thank God we're not you know something crazy like 88 or 89 if I was anything under 90 I'd be basically starting behind the eight ball basically what you know I guess my eating eating habits have been what's allowed me to maintain my weight I think the last time I stopped training for a good period of time which is what I've just done I went down to like 87 kgs but I wasn't eating a lot that was around the time that this YouTube channel started really accelerating the last year and I was just putting every single ounce of effort every single ounce of time no sleep no food I was putting everything into my YouTube channel and that's what my body came out of it like three months of all that I lost a shitload of body fat I lost a shitload of muscle but I gained a shitload of subscribers so at the end of the day it was worth it and actually before I do go I will give you a quick look at what I got out of that which is this this something a whole lot of people can't say they've got but I've got one and at the end of the day I never in a million years would have thought I could get a hundred thousand subscriber plaque no way not a chance but we got it we're here and I had to put in a shitload of effort and we're gonna put in a shitload of effort now to put it to put this muscle back on thanks for being here guys I've rambled a shitload I know what I've got to do you know what we've got to do we've got our first days with measurements I'll check them if you guys again on day 14 I'm gonna be tracking everything I eat filming my training or at least what I can do it's gonna be easy because it's right next door so I'll just take the camera down bring it back up edit it up and put it on my channel that's how I see it happening but strange things have happened anyways guys have a fantastic day or a fantastic night wherever you are in the world it is officially 8 24 no sorry 754 it is officially 754 a.m. on Thursday the limit of July peace out
