 All right guys, what is going on? Welcome back to making games and we're at day 90 today. The last time you saw me was on the way back from Bali. So I got back, I finally got back. I think I'd been up for about 40 hours. And so as you can imagine, I was in an extremely fragile state. And what happened from there, I went to bed. That was about four o'clock in the morning I got to bed. I woke up at four the next day. So that was 12 hours sleep straight up. I might have woken up a couple of times, but it was definitely, I slept like an absolute log. I got up thinking, yeah, okay, I'll be sweet. By about nine o'clock that night, after about five hours of being up, I realized, nah, there's no way I'm gonna be able to stay up too much longer. And I went back to bed guys. So I went back to bed, slept for another nine hours. So what's that 12 plus nine, 21 hours within a 26 hour period. And that is the most sleep I've ever done. I still, I woke up even still after that and my eyes were still like, you know, all puffy and fucking dark and things like that. So staying up that long guys is certainly not ideal, but it's what I had to do to get home. So luckily, thank God I didn't have to go back to work until tomorrow, which is actually Friday. That marks 13 weeks total doing this series. So it's day 91. I feel really bad because obviously it's called making gains, right? The series is called making gains. So clearly it's about building muscle and incorporating that into my lifestyle. And I feel like these last few videos, probably last 10 or so, have just been covering, you know, have just been sort of introducing myself as a person rather than actually showing you too many meals and too many, you know, what supplements I'm using and how I'm training and showing you my training. And I know a few people have actually asked specifically for more training footage. And I think going forward from here guys, I think I've done the whole, you know, get to know me sort of thing. I certainly have. And if you haven't got to know me yet, look back at a few videos that I've put up recently and you'll get to know me pretty fast. So I think that's sort of out of the way now and we can get back to what I really wanna show you guys and what this series is about, which is making gains, right? So today, I'm not proud to say this guys, but today is actually going to be my first leg day for three weeks. I didn't train legs. I trained legs once, no, I trained legs twice in Christchurch, didn't train them in Melbourne, which where I went to after Christchurch and I definitely didn't train them in Bali. I think, you know, Bali was a good trip, but as far as my training and diet goes, I could have cut, I could have like cut weight really easily. And I feel like I actually have done a mini cut of sorts whilst being there, you know, unintentionally because the heat is just so hard to keep yourself hydrated. It's so hard to eat solid foods. You know, I was enjoying shakes and juices and things like that. I definitely think overall I actually lost weight while I was there, maybe a KG or something. But you know, because I wasn't training efficiently and effectively, I probably lost a tiny bit of muscle as well. So I came back tired as fuck, thinking I'd lost to all this muscle, thinking I'd lost all this weight. So this last three days has actually been a real struggle mentally to get myself back in the game. But I've done that, I've started making my smoothies again, you know, egg whites, protein powder, oats, bananas, things like that. So one of those first thing in the morning is this extremely good start. And I wasn't doing that the whole entire time I was away. So even just that has sort of, you know, got my head back on track and got my mind back in the game and I'm feeling good. So I've put on probably a KG since I got back. I started taking creatine again. I took creatine away with me, but I never used it the whole entire time, which was quite stupid. So I was feeling pretty flat most of the time. You know, I wasn't feeling that, that pumped in the gym and stuff. And so I've incorporated creatine back into the diet again. So, you know, five to seven grams every day, either in a shake or by itself, it doesn't really matter. I'm on my pea protein again. So we've got, we've got the creatine here. I've got pea protein. Now I made a review on the pea protein ages ago and I had to pull it down because I actually do, I don't mind it to be honest. If I mix it with, you know, a banana and some oats and some berries, it's actually quite nice. It's not too sweet and it just gives that sort of cocoa sort of flavor. So I am using pea protein. I haven't used whey protein probably about two months now and I'm going to keep it that way. The reason I used whey protein was the taste and, you know, MTS whey is absolutely delicious. If I'm not going to put all those extra ingredients into the shake to make it taste nice, I'm going to want a protein powder that tastes nice by itself, right? So that's why I use that. But at this point in time, I've taken whey protein out and I'm using pea protein. So today guys, today is actually going to be the first time I take you back to the gym and show you some workout footage. So I've chosen today, you know, intentionally being a leg day after not training legs for three weeks and just putting it off and putting it off and putting it off. It's not, I don't feel like it's going to be easy. I feel like I'm going to feel weak and I'm going to need all the motivation I can get to push through this workout and taking my camera down and getting myself on film is going to give me that motivation. So we're going to test it. I'm going to go to the Lasseter's Hotel and Casino Gym, which is my second gym. I've also got an Anytime Fitness membership. This gym has a nice Smith machine to do Smith machine squats on. I really just don't want to hit a free weight squat right now. I want to get myself back into it, you know, warm up the joints, get everything moving again and we'll see how it goes. So this Smith machine is really nice. It's absolutely vertical, it's not on an angle like some Smith machines are these days and it's nice and smooth and I've been able to push some pretty good weights on that in the past. So I'm going to hit that first and then from there, we're going to go to a seated leg press. Then I'm going to do some leg extensions and I'm going to finish off with some walking lunges. So it's going to be a pretty tough workout, pretty grueling as per usual but I just haven't, you know, I've been on holiday, I've just put it off, man. I've been slack, what can I say? I honestly can't say much more than that. I've just been a slack cunt and I haven't trained legs. So, you know, I'm a firm believer of training your lower body is only going to improve the gains on your upper body, right? So it's, you've got to train your legs, you've got to train your lower body and that's what we're going to do today. So without further ado, I think we should, we should fucking get into it. So I'll see you guys down there. All right, guys, what is going on? Jacob here, this is going to be the first voiceover of sorts that I've done in a fucking long time. And I'll tell you what, guys, it took a week for my legs to feel better. It's about nine days later right now. This voiceover is just going to be nice and short. The workout went, as I mentioned in the previous clip, we did a Smith machine squat, which I really, really enjoyed. We got really quite heavy. Heavier than I thought I was going to get anyway. Lots of warm-ups. Like I said, I wanted to get my knees working properly. You know, all the joints lubricated before I went and hit some heavy weight. But what I will say is that I hit a PB, would you believe? The phenomenon of feeling weaker, but using your mind and, you know, your mental strength to push through and actually hit a PB is true, man. It's phenomenon. It doesn't make sense, but it's fucking true. And I hit a PB. So I can't exactly remember how many reps, but I think it was 10 to 12 with 140 kg. Well, actually it's not 140, it's 120. So 60 on each side, plus whatever the bar weighs, which is not much at all. So that really fucked me. So from there, I actually skipped the seated leg press that I was going to do, and I stayed on the Smith machine. I was really feeling it, and I did some single leg lunge squats. So brought the weight right down to 20 kgs each side, which was actually probably a little bit heavy, because as I said, I was pretty fucked from the sets before, but I did three sets each leg with 20 kgs each side for about 12 reps. So from there, squatting, leg press, the compound lifts were done. I went over to the leg extension, and I did sets of 20. That is the number I like to hit on the leg extension. I tend to stay away from doing heavy sets with heavy weight because basically guys, I don't wanna screw my knees up. From there, I went over to my final exercise, which was a walking lunge. I tend to do it with a barbell. I find that it allows me to keep my chest up. You know, like you do in a barbell back squat, keep my chest up, head up, and really feel it nicely through the legs, the quads, the hamstrings, and the glutes, all the way through the movement. So I did four sets of however many reps it takes to get from one end of the corridor down to the other, and we did that four times. So with that said guys, it was a fantastic workout. This is gonna be a nice and short sort of voiceover because I'm gonna put most of this footage in another video, which is gonna be called Leg Training 101. And I think that's how I'm gonna structure it going forward. I'm just gonna put a few clips in the Make and Gain series because there's gonna be other video clips surrounding the training footage. And as far as proper technique, proper tutorial, giving you guys every knowledge bomb that I have, we're gonna be doing those in separate videos. So I hope you enjoyed the footage. I felt really, really good after this workout. What can I say? I felt so good that I even added in some triceps. So you're gonna see a tricep drop set that was my last set of triceps. So we did legs and triceps. Fantastic workout, like I said, really got me back in the game. I'm speaking a week in the future and I'm feeling really good. Things are going fantastic. More videos to come. I'll see you guys in the next one. We were dancing all night and it took you away. We just need to remember.
