 All right everybody We're back. We're back in Alice Springs. How fucking depressing Apologies for the hair. I'm gonna sort that out right now Reppin Jim Steeze Back from the Arnold Classic back from Melbourne. This video is going to Basically just address how I felt about the whole experience the Arnold Classic how my week went down in Melbourne and I also got a body fat percentage test while I was down there. This is my fourth one fourth dexa scan That's how I choose to get my body fat tested because I believe that's one of the most accurate ways As far as calipers and things like that go Not for me two variable Person to person so I choose to go with a dexa scan now What they're used for is actually to measure bone density Predominantly, that's why they were designed but what they also do is Measure in the exact gram to the exact gram how much bone mass you have how much lean tissue you have which is including muscle tendons organs things like that and what your body fat mass is so I'll get into those results in a little bit But first of all, I'm actually going to grab a We smoke that I started earlier, and I'm gonna finish it with you guys and you know have a chat about things The window of it All right, so Yeah, the Arnold Classic Was it all that I expected and more Yes, I would say yes But was I expecting something to blow me away not really guys not really I feel like I feel like you know the What I What I Told myself. I was really interested in seeing was the fitness celebrities the guys who I'd seen on YouTube on Instagram for years and years. I told myself, you know, they were my idols for years and Taught me everything I know as far as in the gym and dieting and things I Think maybe two or three years ago. I would have You know being a little bit more of a fanboy sort of thing, but now I Don't feel like that to be honest. I feel like, you know, I'm on an even playing field with these guys. I'm an adult I'm 26. I'm not a little kid. You know, you've got you've got guys as young as 13 15 16 18 Looking up to these guys. I don't look up to them anymore. You know The only ones I do look up to is because they're natural a natural bodybuilder Which there wasn't many there obviously As well as you know, if they combine their fitness lifestyle with travel with good You know motivating talks and they have good morals and principles and things like that Those are the guys that I follow as far as aesthetic as far as looking good on camera Being able to you know fucking bench press a lot of weight It's it's really not impressive but with that being said I did actually really enjoy the strongman competition I got to see Brian Shaw in person Unfortunately, he didn't go for a world record this time. I think he's just pulled the deadlift world record for 1,057 pounds Which is near, you know, 480 kilo. I think so at the Arnold Classic he pulled 440 I think and that's because everyone else Failed on it And either stopped at 380 400 or 420 and then he was the only one left to hit 440 and he did Nice and slow. I'm sure he could have gone a little bit higher, but he didn't want to risk it So I think the Arnold Classic is a set is a round of strongman in the world series And obviously Brian Shaw won the deadlift. I don't know about the other events, but that was really cool to see I saw him in person lift that so we watched that I saw a few bikini competitions I went to see the amateur bodybuilding show, which was cool I didn't actually spend too much time in there because we had to leave to go watch the strongman But that was cool to see a huge amount of talent and the pro show which I was really looking forward to seeing and I didn't actually end up getting there, which really sucks because drinking and partying came came first And the Sunday that so the Friday we had a good time I took the pictures that the Saturday was the amateur show and the strongman I didn't really stay too much longer after that and then on Saturday night I went out drinking and had a good night out in Melbourne. So Sunday was a bit of a fucking a bit of a shocker as far as the hangover goes, but Yeah, it was good. It was a good time. I wasn't overwhelmed, you know Would I go back? Yes, I'd go back if I lived in Melbourne Would I travel to Melbourne to fucking stay in a hotel and have all those expenses just to go to the Arnold Classic? No, I wouldn't You know, if I if I really want to go to another expo or a sports festival I think I'm gonna go to America and see you know an LA fit expo or a fucking Mr. Olympia expo or something like that That would be the next fitness expo I go to I think because I think I've done my dash here in Australia for that with that one so With that being said, you know, I did see I saw a fucking freeze ma. I saw Dexter Jackson I saw Jerry Ward. I saw rich piano there I saw all these guys who I I really enjoy watching on YouTube I did see them and I saw them in person and I had a bit a little chat to most of them And it was really cool. So, you know, don't don't get me don't get me wrong I really did enjoy myself, but you know, it's It's it's the fitness industry. I've been fucking I've been watching this shit I've been involved in it for years, you know, five six years now So there's nothing new basically. So anyways with that being said that was the Arnold Classic for the rest of the time in Melbourne, I just hung out with a few different friends and Went shopping had breakfast with a friend. I Just enjoyed my time. I had some of this while I was down there So, you know, yeah, it was a pretty chilled vibe the whole weekend and I had a great time with that being said I didn't train fuck I can't remember the last time I had a whole week off training except for when I went to Bali, I think So that happened and you know, I don't give a shit I told myself at the start if I feel like training I'll train if I don't I won't and I hit an Arm session the only the only session I actually did was at Doherty's gym Brunswick on the Friday after the Arnold Classic me and Achilles hit an arm session and You're gonna see a picture from that right now Fucking awesome gym the absolute mecca of bodybuilding in Australia I have to say and I really enjoy myself there. Me and Achilles had a great workout and Yeah, but that was it for training. So today is What is today? Tuesday today's Tuesday. It's not Monday So that was Friday. I went on Wednesday didn't train Wednesday didn't train Thursday trained Friday Didn't train Saturday night Sunday, not Monday, and then I got back today on Tuesday, and I've hit a back session Tonight so we're back on the games. We're back on the game train. We're feeling good and things are going alright, so You know good weekend away air B&B I got a I got an apartment With air B&B and you know, I was a bit skeptical as to how it would go but turns out it was really good and There was a It's funny. I went through this whole big debacle trying to get this pole and gym access because I couldn't get it at The start they had to make you watch some induction and fucking pass a test to get access to this gym So I did all that and then I ended up not even using it once so that was kind of stupid wasn't it but Anyways, don't matter What do you reckon making some back games lats base with that being said looking at my physique What would you what would you spot body fat percentage? Would you say I am guys? What do you reckon? What do you reckon 13 15 18? Well on the next video, I'll tell you guys exactly What my body fat percentage is because I got it tested like a set um this video has gone far too long 10 minutes is is enough of me rambling I'm gonna sit here and smoke this Have a nice relaxing night catch up some catch up on some sleep because I am fucking tired and you can definitely see it Yeah, the whole week in Melbourne was just filled with shit. I didn't even have time to train to be honest I wanted to but I I slept in every day and had stuff at like 9 or 10 in the morning most days and That's it so yeah once again wrapping Jim Steeves always Always happy to wear this shit. I saw the man freeze my in person. I saw Jay in person saw all the crew so that was pretty sweet and Yeah, I'm gonna have a good night get some sleep I'll see you guys bright and early in the morning. I got it's some pretty awesome results You know Dexa scans are a really wicked tool. They're fucking awesome. I Recommend them to anyone who wants to track their body fat Track their gains muscle gains, you know, it gives you a lean body mass Number as well so you can track, you know your muscle mass as far as as well as your fat mass So we'll get into that tomorrow and I'll also talk about you know the plans for the future because this weekend down and Down in Melbourne was going to be the final weekend of bulking the final week of bulking. So Depending on what the result was in the body fat percentage test was gonna determine whether I was gonna continue bulking or start cutting so Now I'm confused I'm confused what I should do Because I'm not I'm probably not as fat as what I thought I was and that's probably down to the fact that my appetite's been shit The last two months and I haven't been smashing as much food as I did in the first few months of this But I have made some muscle gains and that is the main thing man That is what we want and that's what I've done. So I'll run through all the results tomorrow. Have a great night guys. Thanks for watching Sorry again, I didn't vlog much of the Arnold. I just you know If you know, you know, I just I just wasn't feeling it wasn't feeling it And my camera's fucking massive but with that being said Have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow. Peace
