 In fact, I want to see what I look like under this light. So anyway, enough of that. Post-back session, we started off with deadlifts. I haven't actually done conventional deadlifts in months. It's funny, with deads, I tend to go through patches. I'll smash them at least once a week, if not twice. I'll be absolutely loving it, smashing out sets to failure, going fucking hard for like three or four months. And then I'll just go off it. And I might put in rack pulls here and there. But basically, I just wear myself out. And I just can't continue that kind of workout for all year round. So today, we got up to 160 for sets of eight stop start. And then I used 140 for sets of 10 stop start. So working set was 160, three working sets of eight. And then I dropped it down to 140 and did a working set of 10. Anyways, people are coming. I ain't fucking doing this in front of people. So I'll see you at home. What is going on, guys? Beautiful day here in Alice Springs. It's Tuesday morning. And it's probably about 30 degrees. And it's great. I think it's going to get up to about 36, 37 today. But I thought I'd just finish off the video from last night. So last night, I hit back. I didn't actually end up telling you what the workout was. But my back is certainly feeling quite sore today. And that's because I hit deadlifts. And I went fucking hard. And deadlifts is still the only exercise that will guarantee if I go pretty hard to failure for a few sets, it's going to make my back sore. No amount of rowing movements, no amount of lat pull down movements has ever made my back as sore as it is with deadlifts. So what I was saying last night is that I go through stages. I'll go through stages of doing deadlifts really hard. And then my body will just tell me no. And I'll have to stop. So at the moment, I'm doing rack pulls. But last night was like the first time in weeks, maybe even months, that I've done actual deadlifts from the floor. Half of that reason is because the awesome deadlift platform that I used to use at Outback Gym, I haven't been training there. So I haven't been able to use it. But the rack pulls are doing me good. But they're definitely not giving me that real soreness in the lower back, that real good muscle soreness. It's not bad soreness. And so yesterday I hit them. We did, I think I said, 160 for three sets of 10. No, three sets of eight. Stop, start, which is relatively good for me. It's using straps, no belt. I think my all-time goal would be to put 180 on the bar. That's four plates and be able to do a good set of 10. Stop, start, and just smash it. You know what I mean? That is a pretty good goal for me. And we're not there yet. And we won't get there in the next 11 weeks, that's for sure. But anyways, guys, hit some cardio after the workout. I'm really having fun with that. I am going to get over to Thailand and get some Muay Thai training in, but I'm just not sure when. I've just bought this house. Finances aren't that good anymore. They were, but mortgage would do that to you, I guess. But anyways, morning cardio. Beautiful morning, as I said. Look at the sky. I mean, look at this shit. That is what it's like every single day here, guys. It's pretty amazing, but it gets fucking hot. So I'm going to leave you guys here. Not sure when I'll be back. Obviously, when I've got something that I think is worth videoing. And I will see you guys then. So thanks for tuning in. If you haven't subscribed, please do. Because we're nearly at 500. And a year ago, I thought 500 would be impossible. So once we hit that, it's on to the next milestone, which would be 1,000. So we'll see what we can do, guys. It's just an average guy in Alice Springs with above average ambitions. And I'm not letting the fire go out. There's been plenty of times where I could have just given up on this YouTube thing, given up on the gym thing. Well, that's never going to happen, but certainly given up on this YouTube thing when I feel like I'm not getting anywhere and no one's liking my videos and shit. So I don't know. Hopefully shredding down sort of gives me that motivation to start making videos again, because I've actually got something interesting to make them about. Or something that's rolling on day to day that I can make something about. Whereas without shredding down, I've basically just got, I guess I've got questions that I can answer, which I'm planning on doing, guys. And also, I mean, if you've got any questions, hit me up, because I'm going to make a bit of a list. And then I'm actually planning on when I get to 1,000 subscribers doing my first proper question and answer video. So yeah, that'll be something to look forward to. And if you've got any questions, as I said, hit me up, message, got my Instagram, jakeymcdonaldfitness, whatever you want to do. I'll talk to you guys later. And have a good day.
