♪ Y'all feel the energy building ♪
- Hey yo, what's popping, people?
You already know man,
yours truly, the homie Ace Hood here.
We live man, you dig?
As we in the gym, we finna get that dog work in.
(upbeat hip hop music)
I've been on the journey now for about seven, eight years,
in terms of just health and wellness.
But it's been an amazing journey
and I'm glad I took that route.
Oh man, working out for me,
especially as I continue to get a little older,
it's important for the simple fact
of being able to attack the day with full energy,
full purpose, you dig?
Being able to give my body the things that it need
in order for it to move through the day powerful.
So I can also give others around myself
that love and that compassion
and that power that I hold within myself as well.
So literally training for me is an alignment of my mind,
my body and my spirit, man.
And I think for me,
it's just something that I need.
If I don't get my training in on a day to day basis, man.
I know I'ma feel a little less than
or a little short of energy or something like that.
My training goal is really just to stay shredded.
I always played ball in my entire life.
So I played football, same type of discipline,
same type of things that I learned from there
that willpower to just keep doing it,
to keep getting up, to keep going to push forward.
I took that same thing that I learned in football
and applied it to the music industry.
Just replacing that dog energy,
keeping that beast mode, keeping that high energy,
and them levels up.
So that's what really made me, really just lock in.
Very top is just to be the highest version of myself, man.
When I wake up, first thing in the morning
just thinking about, how can I get better today?
How can I push people around me to be better?
And that's the main thing,
those are my goals in terms of my fitness journey is
to power myself up as much as I can.
So I can be able to help the people around me.
(upbeat hip hop music continues)
So today, we are gonna get a full body,
just to make sure we cover in all bases.
That's important.
(upbeat hip hop music continues)
I love the trap-bar, deadlift bar for the simple fact
that it's less pressure on your back.
You know what I mean?
Anytime, you getting the squats and stuff like that,
and you putting that heavy weight on your back.
Sometimes that can compromise your spine or whatever.
I love this, it's good for hip hinging,
it's good for the lower back as well, building that power.
Sometimes we work our way up,
sometimes we work our way down
but today we are doing eight to 12 reps,
eight at the very least.
(upbeat hip hop music continues)
All right man, so check.
Next exercise we finna get into, is the back lat exercise.
It's for them lats, you dig?
It's for building them wings in the back,
it's how you get them big back and big form, you dig?
10 or 12 reps, you know what I'm saying?
just to make sure we building up that power,
building up that energy.
This one when your woman holds your back
and she hug that body, and she can feel that form.
She starts to feel them lats, right?
That's when she started coming in closer
and we make sure we challenging ourselves
with that back exercise
and everything that we do so we can push forward.
So look man, we moving right along, you dig?
Feeling powerful, feeling strong.
What we gonna do here, man, is
we gonna do left lunge, right lunge.
And then we gonna squat into that.
So we gonna do the lunges and then we gonna do squat.
And that'll be one, just to get the heart rate moving.
You know what I'm saying?
Just to get that breath, deep breathing happening, you dig?
So it's a good in between man to just charge yourself up
before you go back to pushing and pulling again, right?
(upbeat hip hop music continues)
Single arm rows, right?
This is good for back,
this is good again for building that lat.
This is good for building the middle of that back.
I really love this exercise right here.
I like to do about six to eight reps,
not too heavy, little light heavy.
I always think about this exercise
when my wife hit me and say,
"Hey the groceries are downstairs in the car."
It's about 50 bags and I can grab all of them at one time.
So you got one hand full with this hand,
one hand full with this hand.
I'm the type of guy,
I wanna bring all the groceries in at once.
I'm just that kind of person.
And this is the type of workout that'll help you get that,
It'll help you accomplish that, you dig?
(upbeat hip hop music)
The next exercise we're getting into right now.
You know what I'm saying?
We finna do some hanging ab workout.
Very difficult, very advanced workout.
But it's one of my favorites.
It's one of my go-tos, you know what I'm saying?
I love the core is so important, right?
It's getting down to the root of things.
This right here, you know what I'm saying?
That gut health is very important.
Keeping a strong core.
You need that power through your legs,
you need that power through your hips, everything.
So the core literally activates everything.
So the stronger your core is, the better
and the more powerful that you are, you dig?
So it's definitely something that's gonna help give you
that lower look, you know what I mean?
Keep you shredded up.
If you need that bottom, you dig what I'm saying?
Everything look crazy, pop out, top down.
And it's what it is, you feel me?
So if you want that look, man.
You gotta get your core right, you dig?
No shirt for the summer baby, join me.
Let's get it.
(upbeat hip hop music)
Getting that good sweat in, right?
The body active right now.
Next exercise we getting into,
we gonna go from hammer curl to an incline bench.
I love this workout.
It's good for the top of the chest,
being that it'll be my last workout.
We are gonna get into that burnout, man.
We gonna go through 8, 6, 4,
and then we done with it.
You understand?
This is also good, you know what I'm saying?
For building that back as well.
That's why I love this workout.
I think it's an all purpose workout,
help you to get that fold of what you need.
So when you popping in the tank tops
and all that, you're putting your chains on.
You can have structure, you can have design, right?
You know what I'm saying?
Just get them haters up off you,
get that up off you.
Dog work.
Let's get it.
(upbeat hip hop music)
All right, man.
So check, man.
I appreciate y'all, bro.
I hope that work out that we just did, man,
and those few things can provide value for you.
And that's what it's about.
It's about finding the highest version of yourself
and I hope you are on that journey.
And I hope you find that inside of yourself.
So y'all stay blessed.
