 Sup everyone, what is going on? And welcome back to another episode of Can I Lose 20 Pounds in 6 Days? It's almost been 4 days, it's almost been 96 hours guys. The time is quarter to 8, the date should be the 8th, yes it is, I haven't lost a day there, it's Sunday the 8th of November and yeah 7.45 in the morning. I have just woken up and I've been pleasantly surprised to find that it's raining, which I'm always a fan of. So it might not look like much but you know I just love it, I absolutely love the rain and what I love more than that is a coffee. So I'm gonna grab that and I'm just gonna let you guys know exactly how I'm feeling this morning because I'll tell you what, I'm over this shit man, I'm ready for this to be done, I'm ready to make weight effectively and and eat some carbohydrates because I'm feeling depleted. Last night was fucking, last night was the hardest night by far for me to continue the diet. You know this is just a glimpse of what what fighters might actually go through but what I do think is that I've pretty much done all of the depleting as far as my diet, as far as you know depleting all the you know the huge amount of volume of food, depleting the carbohydrates, I've pretty much done all I can as far as that goes you know at this at this 96 hour point. So what I'm gonna do from here is play with a little bit of water manipulation and I began that last night so I stopped a cup water actually well I upped it considerably yesterday which is you know what I have been doing previously but not so much as I did yesterday so I probably had about seven litres of water yesterday in total right up until I went to bed so I went to the toilet just before I went to bed I woke up throughout the night and went to the toilet and I went to the toilet as soon as I got up so those are all good signs that my body is flushing the water exactly how I want it to I've woken up with a dry mouth that's another good sign it's not a good sign for how you're feeling but it is a good sign for weighing in and I'll say that much so I'm gonna drink my second cup of coffee I'm gonna take in minimal food and minimal water I'm gonna head to the gym and it would have yeah it would have been past the 96 hour point of this transformation so I'm feeling honestly I'm feeling pretty tired you can probably hear it in my voice you know this has not been an easy four days I'm not gonna lie more so just mentally physically I can do this I've done it before plenty of times but you know after having gone from such an extreme as far as cutting for so many weeks to such an extreme you know putting on that weight in the last 11 days to such another extreme bringing it back down you know it's wearing on me but once I say I'm gonna do something I do it and I said I was gonna lose 20 pounds in six days and that's exactly what's gonna happen I don't know how much sweat I'm gonna have to lose but I feel like that's gonna be the real the real hard part like I said you know I've done all of the glycogen depletion I can today is gonna be today's gonna be interesting I'm gonna train legs and then we're gonna weigh myself usually I get a really good sweat up during legs I will be taking in water during my workout but after that we're gonna weigh in and then I'm gonna see look if it's less than two kilograms to the point of you know losing 20 pounds I will not leave the gym I'm gonna go over to the kitboxing bag and I'm gonna smash it for an hour lose the 2 kgs weigh in and then it's over I'm gonna weigh in early guys if I can I will if I can weigh in before the five-day mark I will so that's basically 24 hours from now so I'm not gonna push it too hard if it's if it's within reach you know I'll stay at the gym and I'll probably get it this morning if it's not we'll take another day of dieting and we'll yeah we'll make it hopefully fingers crossed do you have faith hopefully you've got faith in me now hopefully I'm I'm making a little bit of sense and and you're enjoying this like I am funnily enough so guys I'll see you at the gym peace alright guys so it's it's just gone eight o'clock I do want to keep this you know completely transparent open and honest I want to tell you guys exactly what I'm doing so I've made up 750 mil bottle of water with amino acids okay that's been basically my drip feed of protein throughout this this time that I'm cutting if anyone out there is you know I guess scared of lowering their protein and lowering their food intake for a period of days this may a product like this product like some sort of amino acids that you enjoy the taste of may I guess save you from some of those feelings you know unnecessary feelings of I'm gonna lose muscle or or something crazy like that which we're not going to in four days especially if you're training you're only gonna maintain plus lose body fat so that's what we're doing anyways I want to stay completely transparent we've got 750 mils of liquid I've taken in probably about 750 mils worth of liquid in the form of coffee so that is a mild diuretic that is going to continue flushing out my system but we still want to continue taking in a little bit of water so that the body doesn't you know decide now fuck you you're not taking any water so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna expend any water one more thing I'm gonna do today I better mention it here if we don't weigh in at the gym this morning I'm gonna come home obviously you know eat throughout the day continue to keep it low carbohydrate but also go low sodium so one thing I have been doing is continuing to salt my meals heavily that is to you know retain water it's gonna it's gonna help me with with my muscle contractions and so when you're not you know when you when you're trying to still train and you don't have any carbohydrates in your system that's when micronutrients and vitamins and minerals really come into play and one that's important to me is sodium so I salt the shit out of my meals but today if I need to I'm going to reduce the sodium so that hopefully I can flush a little bit more water out of my system hopefully that makes sense if not let's just see it all happen on the scales hopefully so once and for all weight that we're aiming for today the weight that we're aiming for to lose 20 pounds in six days is 87.2 kilograms it's either 87.2 87.3 I can never remember but it's in the 87s and yesterday I weighed in at 90.1 so we're less than three kilograms away and like I said yesterday wasn't easy so I'm expecting to be honestly I'm expecting to be right at this moment probably about 88 and a half which means we're within reach and I'm gonna stop talking now I'll see you at the gym Alright guys, we've made it to the gym. It's really fucking cold actually I'm not going to mind going inside right now. It is officially 8.32 a.m. on November the 8th. Like I said throughout the gym, I'm gonna weigh in. Okay, first weigh in, fully clothed, pre-workout. Well they're just as clear as I did. Yeah, well that was about an hour ago. The time is now, the time is 9.40 and I've just finished my leg workout. It was pretty decent. I'm actually going to do a shameless plug and promote my business which is Major Key Physiques. It's the title sponsor of this channel and if you do go to the gym, if you do enjoy lifting, by all means check out our products. I'm very proud of them. And we are New Zealand owned and operated. So for anyone in the Southern Hemisphere, for anyone in Oceania, you know, you're getting behind a local brand and there's not many of us. So I'm just trying to do my thing, it's just me at the moment, minimal overheads, which means that I can keep the business open in these trying times. But anyway, that's enough of that. Yeah, what do we do? We weigh in at 92.5 kgs, fully clothed. You know, on another day that might have worried me. But what I do know, and I could see it in my face when I woke up, was that that extra water that I took in right up until going to bed, obviously some of that is still going to be in my system. And with the extreme amount of sodium that I had on my protein meals yesterday, combined with that added water, I feel like I am retaining a bit more than usual. Which means that I don't think we're going to be able to weigh in on time. I feel like we're probably not going to weigh in under weight today. Before I forget, I'm about to come do some cardio now. Before I forget, my strategy from here on out is to take out sodium completely from the diet, continue eating protein sources and fat of minimal sodium, or at least zero added sodium. I'm going to drink minimal water. What I feel like that's going to do, that's going to allow the excess water in my system to flush out with that sodium. And by the end of the day, I'm going to weigh back in and we'll see what's happened. Because I feel like that's my strategy going forward. I had confidence that that was going to be what I was going to do. It's just I did not expect to see that high of a weight on the scale. But I'm going to weigh in now after an hour of leg training. Let's go. This is fully clothed. I've sweated into the clothing, which does make a difference. And that's at 92.3. So if I took all my clothes off right now, I reckon I'd be under 91. And if I go and work out, so let me do this, let me do some math. So if I go and work out for half an hour and I drop a kg and a half, that's going to take me down into the 89s. Which means if I dropped another kg and a half, I'd be down to 87s. And we'd be almost there. So I don't know, man. We'll see what happens. I'm going to go out and I'm going to hit the assault block. Whilst I've still got a little bit of a sweat up, I'm going to continue it. I don't want it to go away. And then I'm going to go and hit the kickboxing bag for, I don't know, some time. And we're going to come back in. I'm probably going to have a shower. I'm going to strip off. And we're going to get our way in for day number five of the transformation. So I'm excited to get on the assault bike actually for once in my life. For once in my life, I'm excited to fucking get a good sweat going. So I'll see you back here shortly. Actually, you know what? That was a lie. I love getting a sweat up. It's just not usually on the assault bike. It's not usually my exercise medium of choice. But it is today because it certainly gets the heart rate up like nothing else. I mean, it's basically like a sprint, isn't it? So I do Tabata training. I'm probably going to go 10 seconds on, like 100%. And then 50 seconds off, believe it or not. 10 seconds on, 50 seconds off. And it's not off. I mean, the legs are still rotating, but you're certainly not pushing anything like you are in that 100% portion. And that's how I like to do it. Depends how I feel. But I know that by the end of, probably not 10 rounds, but by the end of 20 rounds, I am absolutely, I'm absolutely screwed. That's, you know, that's what I'm going to do today. So I might come back in after about 20 minutes of Tabata training. 10 seconds on, 50 seconds off on their assault bike. That's something to start by without stopping. Test you. It really tests you. It pushes you. This is, this is a big win. And that's why I love exercise, especially high intensity shit. Because it doesn't matter what you're going through in life at the time. You see yourself in a little workout and you push yourself through and you've completed. Fuck man. You feel like you can do anything. And that's how training with weights and, you know, loving explosive, powerful, speed based training as well has benefited my life mentally. Anyways, wow, holy shit. 10 seconds on, 50 seconds off was absolutely perfect, guys. If you've got an assault bike handy, try it out. My numbers for anyone that loves numbers as much as I do, were getting the assault bike up to 1200 watts on the 10 seconds on portion and then just doing whatever I could, whatever I wanted to recover during the 50 seconds. I was able to maintain that through about 10 rounds. Then I dropped it down to a thousand watts. I was able to maintain that to around, you know, around 17. Number 18, I dropped it down. I wasn't able to get to a thousand. Number 19, I wasn't able to get to a thousand. And number 20, I said to myself, look, this is the last round. You call yourself an athlete. You reckon you're going to be able to do a marathon in two weeks? Push yourself. And so I did. And I've got 1500 watts on my final round. So I literally finished about two minutes ago. I thought I'd go and grab the camera. I'm coming here. I'll show you guys what kind of states I'm in and continue the workout. So I'm going to put a podcast on and jump on the treadmill. I'm going to keep the sweat going. I'm not going to go and kick the bag. I've got a pretty cool little idea for the kickboxing. And it's going to be after making the weight. I'll put it that way. So guys, this is day number five. I'm going to check back with you one more time. We'll take away it. And I'm enjoying this cardio, man. I'm really enjoying it. I can see it in my face already, honestly. It looks leaner. Does it look leaner or is it just me? Have I got an eating disorder? I'm not sure. Maybe I do. No, I don't. I'm just really, really interested in the way that nutrition and training can help a person. It can change a person's body composition rapidly or slowly. There's so many ways, so many methods. Definitely not one shape, but it's all. But we're trying to do 20 pounds in six days. Which is not easy. Okay, let's go. It's finished. I spent 45 minutes on the treadmill in the end. We've nearly hit 10,000 steps for the day. And it is 11.01 a.m. So that's a good week session at the gym. As you can see, I've definitely perspired somewhat. So I'm going to take my shit off and jump on the scales and see just how much weight we have to lose within the next 24 hours. Within the next 21 hours. We're on the countdown now. The countdown is on. I want to do this within five days. Not six. So let's go. Okay, I'm not sure if you can... Well, yeah, you can. This singlet is not meant to be that color. It's meant to be this color. So we certainly did a good job. I'm not expecting any miracles, honestly. I'm probably not even expecting to be under 90. But I do know that with a little bit of sodium and water manipulation, whatever the scale says right now, within 21 hours I can be on weight. I'm telling you that right now. Okay, let's go. Sweet. 9.7. And I believe... No, we began today at 92.5, which was a bit of a kick in the guts to be fair. We've finished the day on a brand new low. So that feels good. I'm going to see you guys tomorrow. I'm going to turn off the camera right now. The physique... This is what the physique's looking like, if you do want to know. Um... Yeah, that's what we're looking like. 89.7 kilograms. I will see you guys on day number six for our final weigh-in. We've got officially 2.4 kilograms to lose. Take the sodium out of the diet. Reduce the water a bit today. I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning at 87.3 kilograms or less. I'm telling you that right now. See you in the morning. Thanks for watching, guys. If I don't make the water weight, if I don't make the weight, I'm going to sound like an absolute idiot, but I'm confident. But it's going to take me, you know, going through another 24 hours of discipline. That's all it is. A bit of discipline. A bit of knowledge and a bit of discipline. And you can do it. And that's what all hammers would do. Now, if I come in here tomorrow morning, I'm going to come in here two hours prior. So I'm going to get in here at 6 a.m. specifically. I'm going to come in here. I'm going to weigh in. If I'm not on weight, I will attempt to lose it via water weight. And the way that I'm going to do that is once again on the aside bike and on the treadmill. So I'll see you guys in the morning. Peace out.
