- What's up, guys? Welcome to the Vlog.
We continuing the 25 day Weight Vest Challenge
and today I got my man, Shawne, here with us.
We gonna take him through one of the workout routines.
We're gonna see if Shawne is gonna able
to survive this workout.
Say what's up to everybody, Shawne.
- Wassup?
- So Shawne has been with us for almost a year now.
He's actually one of our camera men and editors.
And since he's been with us, he's been training
with the THENX guys here and there
and been able to pick up some techniques.
In fact, when he first started, he was almost 300 pounds
and now he's down to 260 pounds,
burnt fat and built some muscles.
Let's put him to the test. Let's see if he's gonna
survive this workout routine.
Place your bets. Put it in the comment section down below.
Let me know what you think the outcome is gonna be.
You know a lot people your size that say
that they're too big for this.
What do you think?
- Honestly for me I don't give excuses.
I'mma just give it all I got.
- Excellent, bro. That's what I like to hear.
That's a real THENX athlete right there baby.
Alright, so today's workout is gonna be
in the HeriaPro app.
Go into your program section.
We going to move into the 25 day Weight Vest Challenge
and today we're going to be doing Sunday Funday.
To start this routine, we have a warm up of push ups,
pull ups, and pike hold, but since Shawne and I have
already been warming up before the video,
we're gonna go ahead and get right into the workout.
And the first move of this workout is gonna be
negative hefestos. You ready for that?
- Let's do it.
- (laughs) This guy so optimistic.
I'm actually not gonna have you do
the negative hefestos yet, but I'll have you do
a variation of that movement so that you can do
this move with perfect form properly.
This is going to gain you the strength
and the repetitions so that eventually you'll definitely
be doing some negative hefestos.
Let's go right into it.
Alright Shawne. So the first move is negative hefestos,
but I want you to do behind the back, Australian chin ups.
So you're gonna take a position just like this
on your tip toes.
You're gonna have your hands behind your back
in a supinated grip
and from here you're gonna let your body
come all the way down, keeping a really tight grip,
full range of motion,
and pull right back up to your back.
Got it?
- Yep.
- You're gonna eventually work your way
into negative hefestos.
So let me see you do just one real quick.
Yep, from your heel to your shoulder as straight as possible
full range of motion, pull right back up.
Keeping that core tight, everything tight.
Excellent brother. Alright, man.
You good. Let's go for a couple reps.
You ready? - I guess.
- Awesome. You wanna make sure you have a slight
over grip as well when you're holding the bar.
- Alright man. Perfect.
Alright we're gonna move onto the next move.
See what we got.
Alright next move we have is clean and press
with the barbell.
Give me some motivations.
I want you to go first.
- Let's do it.
- [Chris] Okay, okay.
Alright.
Keep on going. You got this man. You got this.
Excellent.
There you go bro. You got this. You got this.
Yeah! You good.
Beast
I gotta give you props for that one.
That's beast, bro. Hell yeah.
Alright, let's see what I got.
Phew!
Alright, you ready for the next one?
Or you don't even wanna know what's next?
We got burpees. Let's do it.
So Shawne, how you holding up man?
Let me have a midway interview.
- Hanging in there.
- Hanging in there? (laughs)
Alright, let's go.
Woo!
One for extra credit? You got this, you got this.
You killed that, but will you survive this next move?
We do some muscle ups, bro.
We actually have never really trained before together.
But hey, you filmed the programs before,
so you've heard me explained it a billion times.
Magic button, L-sit pull back, lay over the bar.
You got this, bro.
Killing it, killing it!
When you come down, control it as much as possible.
Just literally try to throw a negative in there.
Damn, whaaat? Killing it!
Let's do one more and I'm gonna go for mine.
Excellent.
Well-control that, excellent.
Alright man. That's just motivation right there.
Inspiration right there.
Alright bro. So this next one shouldn't be too tough.
Let's do some walking lunges.
- [Chris] Alright. So we almost through.
We got L-sit to full planche next.
You ready for that one? (laughs)
- I don't think I can planche yet.
- Don't worry. I'm gonna have you do a progression.
We gonna do dips to L-sit. Let's go for it.
Alright Shawne. So I'm gonna have you do dips to L-sit
'cause this is a pretty tough move right here.
And you guys aren't ready for the L-sit to full planche,
then another great progression is dips to L-sit.
This is gonna work very similar technique
and the same muscle groups that you do
when you do an L-sit to a full planche.
So keep doing the L-sit to dips and you're gonna
work your way into L-sit into full planche eventually.
In fact, I posted a video on the THENX channel last Sunday
for the shortcut to full planche pushups.
And if you wanna know more progressions to get
to that level, go ahead and check that video out.
Alright so I'm gonna have you do dips to L-sit.
You should know how to L-sit, you should know how to dip,
put them both together.
Start with an L-sit. Lock out those arms.
Squeeze your hands, squeeze your core,
straighten those legs, squeeze.
Alright, down dip, back up.
Excellent, bro. Keep it going.
Let's go. Rack 'em up.
Awesome.
Excellent, bro.
Yeah, that's pretty tough.
Alright, enough with the games.
We're gonna go for the real challenge,
handstand push ups.
You ready? Let's do it man.
Don't give me that look.
You know what goes on around here.
I'm not gonna make you do a handstand push up,
but you definitely gotta do a handstand hold.
Hell yeah.
No strains. Excellent.
Killed it, bro.
Hell yeah. So if you guys are at this level right now,
where you can't get through freestanding
handstand push ups, but you can do a handstand hold,
well work on that handstand hold.
Acquire that control and balance
and then do some handstand push ups against the wall.
So that's what I'm gonna have you do right now.
Now you can just focus on the strength
and the rep building part.
You don't have to focus on the balancing.
Once you get very skilled in both of them,
you can eventually put them together.
Alright? So, I'm gonna do some handstand push ups,
you do some handstand push ups against the wall,
let's get it, bro.
Alright.
Woo!
Alright, you're surviving, but you haven't passed yet.
So the next move we have, we have lateral raises,
bent arm with the dumbbells.
Let's get right into it.
Alright, we are on the last exercise of round one.
I'm drenched in sweat so I'm also trying
to survive this routine.
But uh, we got one arm commando pull up negatives next.
If you don't know how to do the move,
go ahead, click on the exercise,
watch Osvaldo shows us how it's done.
This is the last exercise to see
if you truly survive this routine.
Actually, to see if you survive round one,
we got two more rounds after this to go.
But, let's get onto our one arm commando pull ups.
I'mma have you go first bro.
There you go.
Let go.
Alright, so perfect example right here.
If you guys are at this point and you're trying
the one arm commando negatives,
another technique to work yourself into this movement
is instead of letting go all with one hand
is let go with the amount of fingers that you need
that challenges you to still be able to this move.
So in this case, maybe hold on with two fingers
or one finger when you're coming down.
Eventually you'll decrease those fingers,
you'll be coming down with one arm. - Okay.
- So try it with less fingers this time.
You got this man.
So let go of couple fingers, come down.
Excellent, bro.
Killing it.
Let's do a couple more.
Look at that. Crazy.
This is a really heavy one arm pull up right there.
That is crazy. Oh my god.
Alright, man.
Phew!
Alright.
I think the question is, did we survive this work out?
But it's safe to say, we survive round one.
We got two more rounds to go,
that's gonna complete the workout routine that you can find
