 All right guys, what is going on? It may not seem like it's been a while, but it really has and quite honestly bringing out the camera right now I'm I feel I feel a little bit weird. I feel out of my depth. I don't really know what I'm gonna say Because it's been so fucking long, but it is another episode of making gains. Would you believe and No idea what day it is right now but I Think it's probably getting up to about day 180 which means we're we're approaching the six-month mark. So it's been a six-month bulk and Right now I am in a bit of a Bit of a pickle because I don't know which way to go I've got the Arnold Classic coming up, which I can't wait to go to it's in about five weeks. So basically I'm You know, I'm still struggling with my appetite. I'm not eating As much as I want or if I do eat a lot I sort of make myself feel sick So the appetite certainly not there and I think that's I think that's mental. I really do But what that means is that you know, my body's telling me fuck You've got to you've got to get a couple of these excess KGs a body fat off your frame and then maybe You know digestion will be better and and I'll want to eat more food So with that being said, I'm sort of deciding whether to continue this until the Arnold Classic Get as heavy as I can and get that body fat percentage test that I'm gonna get down there and then continue on from there Into a cut or I can start right now Do a mini cut try and get in a little bit of good shape before I go down Still get my body fat percentage test done and then whether I'm you know, if I'm above 15% still I'll keep cutting if I'm 12% or under. I'll start into a lean bulk again. So Personally, I don't know today is a great day. I've got the day off work. I'm about to go pick up my new phone I'm using the front facing camera once again I've had this fucking broken phone for like a week and a half finally got a new one So that is in the mail. I've got my packages from Adidas that I never showed you guys Which would be pretty sweet. I've got a couple of pairs of shoes and some shorts And what else we're gonna do and I've got to get a computer. I haven't had a computer for like a month and It's been tough Really has but honestly it's been it's been a nice break not having to Vlog not having to make these videos and Then the fourth purchase guys could be a camera it could be a DSLR camera been looking at the Canon ADD as per usual a lot of fucking A lot of vloggers look at the Canon ADD But that only goes up to 60 frames per second at 1080p Whereas I want it to be 120 frames per second at 1080p and six frame so 60 frames per second at 4k But it looks like if I want 4k capabilities, it's gonna be Thousands and thousands of dollars. So we're gonna go with I think we go with the ADD I'm gonna get a microphone for the top and I'm also gonna get a tripod So that'll be my vlogging rig baby already all ready to go. So We'll see we'll see what my credit card balance is saying actually I think I should probably do that before I promise anything but Regardless of that. I'm getting a new phone. Can't wait. I'm gonna go to the gym train some legs and It should be a good day. So it feels good to be back on the line back on the YouTube with you guys and That's it. It's a stunning day here as per usual What do you expect? So, yeah, just another day guys training has been going good After I pick up my new phone. I'll come back home sort everything out And then I'll give you guys a quick update on how things have been going as far as training and Diet and things like that Training has been going well. I've been getting stronger which which makes me think You know, do I really want to cut right now when I actually am getting stronger and to be honest? No, no, I don't I don't want to cut the main thing. I wanted out of this series was to build muscle to make gains. So I Don't think I am gonna cut but I I do have a date in mind, which is the Arnold classic I've got a dexa scan booked which means I can get my body fat percentage Tested properly and so I'll have a good mark to continue on either which way either bulking or cutting I've got seven seconds left of footage on here My whole phone is completely full up. So I've got to go. I'll see you guys in a So, how's it going? We're back. We're back for some more I'm gonna try my best to look into this lens here and not at the little Little viewfinder there, but with that being said guys In fact, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna switch switch that round. That's that's better, isn't it? It's just me and you now. So the last clip you saw Was probably about a week and a half ago now. I finally finally got, you know Basically guys the last like two or three weeks has been really Not stressful, but just Not Not the way I like to live my life. Let's put it that way Basically my roommate who you've never met lived here for a year. She finished her Nursing placement at the Alice Springs Hospital and she has moved back to Victoria So didn't want to stick around in Alice Springs any longer than she had to and I don't blame her. That's fine I won't hold it against you But what happened was I had already organized someone to come in and move in on basically the day that she left Which was gonna be perfect, but this guy who's my mate as well decided to Break up with his girlfriend early So he was he was planning on doing that. He was planning on moving in but couldn't handle it any longer and broke up with her So I've had him in the house as well for the last three weeks. So I've had two flatmates in the house When really there's only room for one so He Make sure he's not here don't want to want him to hear me talking about him, but Yeah, he had his shit everywhere and was sleeping the lounge and everything so today Is a Friday. I've got the day off. I've cleaned the house. I've got everything sweet and now I'm feeling like my head is you know D-class is enough for me to actually be able to talk to the camera properly without you know Anything bothering me really so with that said right now. I'm gonna show you guys. I'll show you guys through the house actually Some of you guys may never have seen in fact. I don't think I've ever shown you through the house It's not big, but it is mine. I do own it. So that's cool But the first thing I'll show you is my new laptop Which is pretty sick. So this camera that I'm shooting on at the moment is the Canon 80d and I will show you guys that but this is my new laptop and It's MSI which is a gaming laptop brand and it's fucking sick But this little area is actually an office. So we've got Chair over there got the table. I've got to show you guys this So I got an electronic desk when I moved into this house And I've never really used it because my computer has not been up here. It's been down there But now I've moved back up because I've got a nice clear space. We're going to Stand at the computer desk and that is why I like to put it up as high as possible because now Now I can stand there like this Rather than sit down the whole time which really fucks my back So that's the bedroom which I'm still cleaning, but we've got a balcony These are some more of the units and right here in there is actually the Office Anyways, usually this guy's blew the whole entire day We've got some cards today. I'm not sure what that means Doesn't usually mean Rain though. That's for sure So that's the broom That's the computer Here's the bathroom And that is what the camera looks like so So look, I got my fucking vlogging room man. Look at this shit boom Not the original kit lens. I got something better and Well, there we go And I got a Joby fucking tripod like all the vloggers have and I got a road microphone like all the vloggers have and That's it man. That's it. So office bedroom bathroom second bedroom And like I said, I've cleaned up so I can actually show you guys the place Because otherwise, it's a bit embarrassing. It was a pigsty. We can't have that so two carparks stairs going up there and then we can't I don't know what happened there and we come down kitchen. It's not huge, but it's enough it's enough for two people not three like I said and Come through here. We've got the lounge area TV Just a just a quick note on this one Absolute killer when you get someone around a girl She's gonna sit in it every single time and then following that it's up to you what happens So I will give my my new flatmate one bit of credit. He's got a ps4. So that's pretty sweet We've been smashing out the FIFA NBA 17 haven't played UFC yet, but I'm sure we'll do that And then we come out here to my gorgeous Back yard, which I have not touched Since I moved in over a year ago. So that's why it looks like this. What I'm planning on doing is, you know obviously getting rid of the grass making it all flat and putting some sort of fence line along the back and I don't know something else. I really don't know yet, but then That's my that's the balcony from a bedroom like you saw around the side. Those are the other units And those are the other units So that's the house That's where I live guys I'm happy here. I'm pretty happy and this is the this is the spot Where I would usually be setting up the camera to Talk to you guys, but like I said the computers upstairs now, so It's not gonna happen right now. So I thought you know, I needed to what's up. What's that, John? We're ready for my time No, it isn't good camera When the girls come So there you go couldn't even get one video done without someone coming home But it's all right, so I'm gonna leave you here now guys We've got a shoulder session tonight. In fact, I'm gonna take the camera down for that and get a few shots I'm gonna go train with Achilles at any time fitness. I haven't been to any time fitness in quite a while In fact, I've actually changed gyms back to one of the original ones that I went to Here in our spring school Outback, which is It's also a 24 hour gym, but it's more so it's got you know It's it's more so hardcore sort of powerlifting sort of thing even though it's not It's more so than than any time fitness. So I've been training there lately But yeah for now I'm just gonna chill out a couple more hours get a pre-workout going and then I'll see you at the gym for some shoulders Let's go. All right guys What is going on? Today's date is the 7th of March We are back. We're back. We're back to Live updates. We're back to reality. We're back to today's date I've been living in the past for too fucking long so I Would call this day 210 of making games, which means guys we've made seven months, which is insane to think about it It does not feel like seven months ago that I Started the series Yeah, I went through all that shit with the computer with my phone Had no camera, etc. I bought the computer. I bought the camera. I bought the tripod. I bought the microphone. I got a new phone and Yet I still didn't make any videos Mentally I have been struggling with the idea of putting so much effort into social media YouTube and things like that When I don't even have you know a Life of my own that fulfills me emotionally I'm putting all this effort into something like YouTube when I myself When I'm feeling like that inside I'm not gonna be able to put my 110% into making videos for YouTube that I Mean that's some real talk for you guys that combined with Exhaustion from working a hell of a lot. I'm working 60 our weeks every single week Well, actually look that's a lie because it's it's probably about 50 our weeks Because I take at least one shift off per week sick Just like everyone else doesn't work because we're completely overworked but Yeah, with that being said I have managed to continue training my weight is around about 105 kgs at the moment I'm feeling heavy. I'm feeling strong. I'm feeling good but I Still struggle with my appetite. I still feel like my body is telling me, you know, you're getting You're getting heavy. You're getting heavier than I want you to be naturally So I'm struggling to put on any more weight I have introduced creatine in the last couple of weeks and I feel like that has helped With, you know, a little bit of fullness But my weight hasn't changed so So life has been Hectic lately and I have not felt like making any videos whatsoever Some days, you know, it's even got to the point where I look at myself in the morning And I'll feel so tired and so exhausted that I'll just feel ugly. I'll feel really old and ugly and You know, who wants to make a video who wants to make a vlog when you feel like that? Not yeah, not me and so I've got to get that out of my head. I really need to have a break and With that being said I have made a plan. I've made an awesome plan and I'm really really excited So this is this is what is going to rejuvenate myself Hopefully it's going to open up some doors to new challenges and new new You know experiences in life and what I've decided to do today's day is the 7th of March 2017 and I have decided to Do a personal training? certificate in My hometown of Christchurch if you've been following for a little while I did mention that last year that I was thinking about doing that You know everyone I've spoken to in Christchurch, I've got so many connections that are So close to being lost forever These are friendships that go back years and years and years People that I keep on you know saying that I'm going to see and I never have I haven't seen them for like six or seven years These are friendships that meant the world to me back then and their friendships that I haven't been able to replace Some of them if you know what I mean You know those experiences with people that you've grown up with as a kid all those naive and you know really innocent experiences that you experience for the first time and the bonding experiences you have They are replaceable and those relationships are ones that I really really want to connect with again So that is half the reason why I'm going back Obviously want to see my family I'm going to be able to live rent-free whilst I study and there's a campus an NZ IS campus New Zealand Institute of Sport in Christchurch that I will be attending and Doing my course in person with tutors with other students Having a great time and honestly guys. I cannot wait. So right now You know, I'm about a week away from going to Melbourne for the Arnold Classic I cannot wait. I'm going to have a fantastic time, but I'll tell you what that will be the last extra dollar that I spend Going forward for the next four months because I'll be I'll be grinding guys I'm going to be working and training and sleeping because Basically, I want to get myself in the best financial position possible Before I go back to Christchurch because I need to be able to support myself for six months For the time that the course is on obviously, I'm going to be living rent-free. So my parents say I think I'll probably have to have to pay them something or I might get a part-time job in Christchurch Which would be crazy because I'd never imagined myself working in Christchurch again I thought that would never happen, but it seems like it might or I can just chill out Really concentrate on YouTube again as well as going to my personal training course Who knows what's going to happen all I know is that for the next four months I'm going to be grinding hard trying to save as much money as possible To get myself in the best position possible so that I really don't have to worry about anything for six months And I can actually have six months off Work off. I'm talking about You know it's come to the point guys. I'm only 26 and I'm feeling like I'm just wrecked So I need this time off. I need something to do while whilst I have this time off Which is the personal training course and I'm I'm coming to the realization that I'm only ever going to be happy working if I'm doing what I love and the only thing that I can Put my finger on that. I am truly passionate about and that I love and that I can monetize is Becoming some sort of either online personal trainer. I know I said that I didn't want to you know Put so much effort into social media before But I do like the idea of being an online trainer being able to travel and take your business with you I love that idea If not that some sort of nutritionist possibly dietitian Sports scientists. I don't know something to something around that. That is the dream. That's the goal That's the ultimate goal. I need to really fucking pull my finger out and get my shit sorted and Start building this business and that starts with doing this course in Christchurch. I cannot wait I'll be back. I'll be back on YouTube when I'm ready. Honestly guys, like I said, I looked in them I looked in the mirror this morning. I felt fucking tired. I felt old But I felt big and I'm a constant 105 kgs in the gym so as far as making gains we're doing well and Yeah, like I said, it's just grinding at the moment So whenever I have time when I feel good enough to make a video, I'm gonna make it. Hopefully the quality is there I really hope so This footage that you've seen is my hometown of Littleton. I hope you've enjoyed. I Hope you've made it to the end if you have you're an OG. I love you guys. Thanks for the support We've had 3000 subscribers, which I'm absolutely stoked about It seems like over Christmas and stuff YouTube slows down a bit. So I was a bit worried. It wasn't it wasn't climbing whatsoever But in the last month or so the subscribers have bounced back up and I'm feeling positive again So yeah, I'll see you guys in no time I'm sure in the meantime have a great day train hard. I'm looking forward to the future I've got night shift tonight, which I fucking Who wants to do night shift? Honestly? I'm just over them. They screw your sleeping pattern. They screw my training pattern, but You've got to do them But I am having six months off which I fuck. Oh my god guys. I cannot wait. Honestly. It just makes me smile It makes me excited So that's what we're working for at the moment I'll catch you guys in the next one. I gotta go. I'm gonna stop rambling. Peace You
