getting
jacked
absolutely will change your life 100%
but it's not all good okay uh I've spent
the last seven years getting in
shape
and uh there's been a lot of things that
there's been benefits obviously but
there's been a lot of things which uh
have been not so good and a lot of kind
of like negatives and things that I
never expected nobody ever told me about
so in this video I want to share with
you the good the bad the ugly so you
know exactly what to expect and you're
going to know how to do it much faster
than it took me all right so I want to
go back a few years and kind of just
describe of what describe my life and
how it looked like before because um you
know as a teenager
uh I was a bit of a rebel at school to
be honest um and then as a teenager I
started to have health issues okay I had
chronic back pain 24/7 365 days a year
and this went on for years and
progressively got worse and worse and
worse started at age 14 and you know
gradually got a lot worse and uh I also
had brain fog couldn't concentrate
depression and anxiety just from being
in chronic pain
24/7 and it didn't really make any sense
because I was active uh I was playing
football uh I was going to the
gym and nobody knew what was going on uh
you know I went to see a lot of
different Specialists up and down the
country up and down the UK uh so loads
of different people over the years and
no one could really figure out you know
what was the issue and and you know why
did I have back pain and it affected my
studies you know I had to reset find
exams uh I ended up going to University
but then I got kicked out not just
because of my health issues but that
definitely contributed to
it um so you know I'm living with my
parents I'm unemployed I'm not making
any money I'm bedridden I'm taking three
or four different
medications uh and I can't eat anything
because I just feel sick from the
medications I'm not sleeping well
because of the medications and I'm just
lying in bed like a vegetable
thinking is this how my life's going end
up like is this how I'm destined to live
the rest of my life like
surely uh surely is it's not going to be
like this I just I refuse to accept that
this is how my life's going to go you
know I just I wouldn't accept it any
longer so there and then I got up went
in the shower and decided to go for a
run there's a reservoir near my house
and I just ran around the reservoir it's
like a I don't know 20 30 minute run and
I did the run and obviously I had a lot
of pain a lot of back pain but I felt
good afterwards because it's the most
exercise I'd done in months and I was
like I'm going to do this again and then
I ended up doing it twice a day I going
to run in the morning and in the
afternoon twice a day and then I started
going to the
gym uh even though I had pain I just
kind of just pushed through it and then
one evening uh I'm watching uh then I
start to go down this whole like Health
route right because uh now I was going
to the gym and I feel like I was
actually making a little bit of progress
in some area of my life then instead of
just watching uh [ __ ] stuff on
Netflix I put on like a health
documentary and it was a documentary
about people who had chronic health
conditions and they changed their diet
and their lifestyle and they' reversed
these so-called chronic health
conditions they just they' just gone
away and he just dawned on me there and
then I was like hang on a
minute out of all the people I've seen
up and down the country not a single
person has ever asked me what's my diet
like what food am I eating uh nothing
not a single person ever asked me about
diet or lifestyle or anything like that
and it just dawned on me there and then
like what if uh you know it's something
to do with the food that I'm eating uh
or something like that so I removed
gluten and dairy and some other foods
from my
diet and I felt so much better you know
my back pain slowly started to fade away
uh I had more energy uh I could
concentrate uh I wasn't depressed I had
uh you know I just My overall mood was
so much better I was just in a lot more
positive
mindset and that this really you know
going on the runs going to the gym and
fixing my diet is really the the turning
point for my life because I've gone from
being broke having no money unemployed
University Dropout all my family are
really concerned about me so now that
I'm living in barley it's a Thursday at
9:00 a.m. I'm at the beach I plan my day
on my terms I was I was out for dinner
last night with one of my friends and
we're speaking about oh should we go to
Vietnam next week or maybe we go to
Colombia in a couple of months so I've
got location Freedom I've got time
Freedom um I'm not financially free I'm
not rich in kind of my definition of
rich but uh you know I'm comfortable at
least and is this all just because I got
jacked no of course not I've had to do a
lot of work in and outside of the gym to
get to this point where I am right now
but maybe I wouldn't even be here right
now I wouldn't have this life had I not
gone to the gym okay and for you maybe
you're you're not in as badest position
that I was but even
still there are a lot of benefits to uh
to to getting in shape okay and probably
the biggest
benefit is
that you know going to the gym and
getting in shape it requires hard work
it requires discipline it requires
consistency it requires doing things
that you don't want to do it requires
acting when you don't feel like it and
it requires having a plan and sticking
to that plan day after day month after
month year after year okay and having a
vision for the a better vision for the
future okay and guess what if you want
to build a business if you want to have
a successful relationship whatever
Endeavor that you want to do in your
life the principles of success are the
same so getting in shape teaches you how
to be successful in other areas of your
life and this is why I always talk about
Fitness is the gateway to success
because if you learn how to build a
physique then you can learn how to build
a business you can learn how to build a
relationship you can learn how to build
the other areas of your life what it
does is you go to the gym you get some
results and then you realize that you
have the power you are in control and
this is what happened to me is I thought
oh life is just happening to me I've
just got these health issues and there's
nothing I can do about it but really
there was many things I could do about
it instead of listening to the socaled
experts I just took control I took
matters into my own hands and I decided
there and then that I'm going to figure
this stuff out and I did and chances are
if there's an area of your life that you
want to improve right now getting jacked
will never hurt that okay we'll never
hurt that whatsoever okay so another
benefit to
uh to to get in shape is that you
normalize doing hard things because
let's face it
life is not always easy okay there's ups
and downs and sometimes you know we go
through tough periods and bad things
happen to good people and life is unfair
sometimes but if you normalize doing
hard things every day if you normalize
going to the gym and training into
failure nearly every single day if you
normalize doing ice baths that's a great
reason to do ice baths is because it's
something that's hard to do and you
force yourself to do it every single day
such that when you come to to to some
testing times and the universe gives you
challenges well you're just in a you're
just much better equipped to deal with
uh those circumstances you you become
antifragile okay you become like a rock
you become hardened because you're not
seeking comfort you know like uh it's
naturally I think we just want to seek
comfort as much as possible and we just
want things to be as easy as possible
but unfortunately if you go through life
like that that is a recipe for an
extremely average life so for me I was
always very afraid of living at average
life it was the last thing that I
absolutely wanted and when I was just in
bed and depressed I thought like this is
this is worse than an average life this
is like in a below average life okay
but so if you um you know
if you're at that point right now where
you maybe feel like you need to improve
some aspects of your life just get in
shape g g get in shape if you're feeling
down or you're feeling depressed get in
shape because it's not going to hurt you
it will only help you but there are a
few negatives okay so I'm going to talk
about the negatives right
now um so the first one is a very
practical negative some people might see
this as a positive and sometime for most
of the time I see this as a positive
sometimes it's a negative and that is
the bigger you get and the more jacked
you get you need to eat more food just
to maintain your physique and obviously
if you're eating more food it's going to
cost money right so uh for me to just I
live in I I'm in barley right uh the
portion sizes in Asia are typically much
smaller than in the west so when I go
out for a meal I would typically order
like two or three
Mains uh two two starters you know just
because the portion size is just not big
enough for me I'm like over a 100 kilos
all right
so um you will need to eat more and for
some people uh if you're broke right now
you know that might be a potential
negative because you because you're like
oh god I've it's going to cost me more
money I'm going to be spending more
money on food but the solution to that
is to just get rich okay is to just you
know earn more money because then that
is not an issue at all and will getting
jacked directly help you earn more money
well unless you're in the fitness
industry probably
not but it will give it will give you
the confidence and because you have more
confidence you're more likely to take
risks you're more likely to take that
new opportunity you're more likely to
start that business where otherwise you
wouldn't have done okay so um
it's not it's not I don't see it as a
negative to be honest but it is
something you should be aware about okay
next thing is you're going to get more
attention okay and not all attention is
good for
example sometimes you're going to get
attention from guys like sometimes I go
on a night out uh and there's just some
drunk idiots and because uh they see
that like I'm big and I'm in I'm in
shape
sometimes they just might say stupid
[ __ ] you know like you know what drunk
people are like especially if you uh
make them feel inferior cuz
unfortunately there's a a subset of
people out there in the world who they
will look at you and they will see you
uh doing well and then they will look at
themselves and then they'll realize you
know where they need to improve and
you've just made them realize that oh
there's this area of my life that I'm
lacking and instead of being motivated
and inspired by that they want to tear
you down they want to hate on you in in
their head they want to pull you down so
they don't feel as bad about themselves
so maybe they might go on this video and
write some mean comments you know or
they will just say stuff to you rarely
does people actually just say anything
to your face in person they might talk
about you behind your back but even if
they don't say anything and it's all in
their head the there are some people out
there in the world who will get jealous
or envious or you know you'll make them
feel worse just by being in good shape
but unfortunately you can't please
everyone that's something that's outside
of your control if you don't have any
haters at all you're doing something
wrong you're probably in NPC so with
this one I just wouldn't worry about it
I would just focus on being the best
version of you being as jacked as
naturally possible
and just being as nice a person as
possible and granted you will meet some
people along the way who don't Vibe with
you and don't like you and that's okay
you can just not spend time with those
people and focus on people who you do
Vibe with and if you're that sort of
person who you know uh gets jealous with
other people who are doing well like
just understand that that is a choice
you're choosing that right now another
option is to be
inspired uh and to see it as motivation
because if they can do it then why can't
you as well okay and also another point
on
attention is attention from girls now
especially if you're like me when you're
younger and didn't really get an awful
lot of attention from girls getting
attention from girls will be a massive
positive but it's not always a massive
positive
because
um if you haven't got the rest of your
life in
for example you get in shape okay now
you're getting attention from girls now
girls are actually dming you which by
the way does
happen uh now you got multiple multiple
dating options you can go on dates
multiple nights a week uh you know
where's the rest of the time to work on
yourself okay because it's not you can't
just get jacked okay you can't just be
onedimensional you've got to have
you you got to get rich yeah you've got
to have Charisma you've got to have
style you've got to learn how to be a
good person you know you've got to be
charismatic there there's so many other
areas of your life that you need to
improve and and getting jaet won't
affect any of those but you will get
more attention from girls and with that
attention is just more distractions in
general like when I was in Jet and I
didn't get any attention from girls it
was so much easier to be focused because
I didn't have to worry about that
because no girls were trying to get my
attention but now it can be a little bit
harder at sometimes uh I
just uh I'm just in a period of my life
where uh I'm just going back to focusing
but I know this because uh there's have
been a few times in my life where I've
just you know gone a little bit crazy
with girls but uh chasing
girls is not going to help you get to
where you want go you just want to focus
on yourself and building yourself to the
point where they come to you okay and if
you're at a point where you know you're
you built your physique maybe you built
a business or you're happy in your
career or you know you've sorted out
other areas of your life by all means go
and enjoy that extra attention but if
you're not there yet don't get
distracted by the Temptations don't get
distracted by the uh
the sweet ripe fruit okay so they're the
negatives um so what I want to say is
that like getting jacked will not fix
all your problems okay just like getting
rich will not fix all your problems it
will fix most of them you know if you
get rich you fix all your money problems
if you get jacked you fix a lot of
problems it will help indirectly help
you make more money it will indirectly
help you with relationships because
you'll have more personal confidence
you'll also have more options in the
dating place in the marketplace as well
so it will help your relationships it
will help you make more money um you'll
be healthier you'll have less you'll
have less or no health issues and
there's almost no costs to getting in
shape obviously there's a few that we
just talked about um but the best thing
or the best reason to get in shape is
because it cannot be bought okay unlike
you know the watches the cars the houses
uh you know they can all be bought and
you know still to earn money it's going
to take a lot of uh effort to earn that
money but the thing is with the physique
is you cannot there's no there's no
shortcut okay you have to go in the gym
and you have to work hard and it tells
people know so much about you if they
see that you're in shape okay before you
You' even open your mouth and you've
said a single word
people know something about you they
know well this guy is hardworking he's
dedicated his disciplined you're much
more likely to be trusted you're much
more likely to have uh you know if
you're at a business meeting it's much
more likely to go the way you want it to
because you've set that first impression
and I know people say don't judge your
book by its cover but we all do it's
ingrained into us it's like a natural
survival Instinct so if you're on the
fence right now as to you know is it
worth it can you do it let me tell you
you can absolutely do it anyone can get
in the best shape of their lives do some
people have better genetics than others
yes obviously but anyone can get in good
shape anyone can get a six-pack well
anyone can get abs let's just say that
okay so you can do it it is possible it
just comes down to whether you want it
enough and whether you're willing to
give up the vices whe whether you're
willing to you know stop doing the
things that are holding your back and
actually commit to this but if you're
wondering right now is it actually worth
it I invite you to just go all in for a
year go all in on building your physique
uh you know focus on your nutrition your
training your sleep your lifestyle get
in the best shape of your life and then
you can tell me send me a DM send me a
