(dramatic musical score)
(birds chirp)
(upbeat music)
- Oh, hey, what's up, Muscle and Strength?
Come on inside,
I'm gonna take you through a full day of eating.
(upbeat music)
I do 20 minutes.
If I do any more, I just shrivel away,
and turn into nothing. (chuckles)
20 minutes might be too much for me,
but I don't even have to go that hard.
I lose weight really easily,
but I'm gonna do this.
And then I actually have cardio ADHD.
So I hop from this, to machine to machine,
and just keep track of my heart rate here.
(upbeat music)
Average heart rate's around 139 beats per minute.
Or that's my max, rather. (laughs)
Well, yeah, let me see, does it really matter what I'm on?
As long as all my muscle groups kind of get rotated away,
none of them get beat up in particular and I have some fun.
All right, let's eat.
(upbeat music)
This is a high day.
So thankfully you guys are filming me
when I'm gonna actually be able to eat.
My pot filler.
- [Dan] This is nice.
- [Juji] It's cool, isn't it?
Look at that.
- [Dan] Do you ever fill pots with this?
- No, this is, no,
I fill this coffee, coffee pot,
watch this, watch this.
I mean, come on.
Like dude,
everyone needs to put a pot filler
in their kitchen above
where they have their coffee maker.
(twinkle sound effect)
(upbeat music)
All right, guys meal one,
one egg, 120 grams of cream of rice,
one small box of raisins, which is about 30 or 40 grams,
two scoops of high quality protein powder, some vitamins.
(upbeat music)
It's almost 11:00 AM.
So by the time it's 11:00 AM,
I will be eating this meal.
It is seven ounces of white fish.
So Cod from Trifecta,
been working really well for me.
400 grams of cooked sushi rice,
a cup of spinach, a couple pickles,
one cup of raspberries,
and some miscellaneous spicy vegetables.
There's a jalapeno in there.
(upbeat music)
Oh my gosh, high days are a gift.
(upbeat music)
- [Dan] What are you doing?
- About to go destroy a lawnmower
for Instagram 12 days out, let's go.
(intense rock music)
(Juji screams)
Imagine you're,
you're being suffocated with a plastic bag on your head,
and you're dancing around
with a lawnmower in your hand, blindfolded.
(classical music)
(intense rock music)
- [Dan] You want me to hold the end?
(high pitched tone)
(intense rock music)
(explosion)
(upbeat music)
(lion roar)
- It's almost one, and we are getting ready to work out.
So,
(water sloshes)
just gonna fill this up with some water here,
and we're gonna throw in a bunch of supplements,
pre, intra and post.
So I kind of do it all in one.
So instead of making three different shakes,
which is a pain in the ass,
I'll just throw it all in one,
and just kind of meter it throughout the workout.
So let's start with this carb formula from HD,
and you can use my promo code, Juji,
to save 10% on anything from HD muscle.
But I do two scoops of that.
That's 50 grams of very high quality carbs.
Now then in the off season,
I was doing twice as much as that,
like a hundred grams per workout.
So when he reduced me, Dorian, my coach,
Dorian Hamilton reduced me to 50,
I thought it was crazy at first,
but then everything got reduced, so...
(upbeat music)
- [Dan] So I know you very, like, love training,
so are you like, even during this dieting time,
are you like thoroughly looking forward to this every day?
- No, not every day. (laughs)
Some days I'm really tired,
but the thing is, if I couldn't train,
I'd have a really big problem, right.
That would make me very unhappy.
But most of the time I'll enjoy it,
it definitely makes me feel better.
I like experimenting.
Here, I want to show you something,
come over here real quick.
This is my primary source of income,
they're the programs I write.
So here's a nice little spread.
They obviously look like comic books,
but they're all available in digital and spiral print.
But every one of these programs
was basically something that I created for myself
for my own training needs.
And then I adapted it as a program
that I could, you know, share with other people.
So, I mean,
obviously if you've made it for yourself,
you're gonna put the quality into it, you know,
because the, my latest one, this one just came out,
it's called, "Let's Grow Some Muscle."
These are the workouts I've been doing
for the past six months,
to prepare for this competition.
So I did this when I was before calorie restriction
and even after, so the shoulder workout,
we're going to be doing today is actually from this book.
So, I mean, I made these for myself.
I tweaked them over time, over months,
and then they just became my go-to.
So this is what we're gonna be doing today
is one of the routines from my newest program.
(upbeat music)
And push your head through.
- Okay, so head?
- [Juji] Head through, yeah, just yeah, there we go.
- There we go, ooh.
(twinkle sound effect)
- [Juji] Nice!
(high pitched tone)
(intense rock music)
And then step back, step back, step back, Dan.
(thwacks mat)
When I post anything about my physique updates,
number one comment:
better do a back flip on stage,
better do a back flip on stage.
Almost all the comments are
about me doing a back flip on stage.
So they're obsessed.
(twinkle sound effect)
So I gotta do a back flip on stage.
(upbeat music)
All right, so this is meal three on a high day,
which is very simple. I
t's one of my simplest meals.
We have 150 grams of cream of rice.
This is the rice and grinds,
as well as two scoops of the ProHD protein powder.
So it's a pretty simple shake,
and that's it, ice water, there we go.
(upbeat music)
I am most hungry between five and seven.
- [Dan] Morning or night?
- Night.
That's the worst time of day for me.
- [Dan] So I should not be around you then?
- You'll be all right.
I'll try not to move much.
Cause that's when I notice,
that's why I keep a step counter again,
to keep track of my steps
if I'm getting, if I'm really high on steps
or I'm getting too many steps during that time of day.
That's when I really screw up, (chuckles)
I start to feel really bad.
So I just try to conserve my energy during five to seven PM.
(upbeat music)
Yeah, this is a drum of rice and grinds.
So I've been living off this since spring,
and as you can tell,
I'm able to pick it up rather easily
after the shoulder workout we did,
which means I've been going through it.
(laugh track plays)
Yeah.
(intense rock music)
(upbeat music)
If you guys watch the gym tour video,
would you ever leave this room?
It's pretty nice.
Especially when all your friends come over and stuff,
you've got Instacart coming in,
you got your Trifecta,
it's like, why do I need to leave, you know?
I know why we need to leave.
I need to show you my cat,
but to get to my cat,
we gotta walk across my property.
So let's go this way.
Across the little troll bridge here.
So this is a three acre lot.
And when I bought it,
I bought it with the intention of building.
So if you want to go ahead and look behind you,
real quick, Dan.
None of that was there.
It was just a bunch of grass that was like head high,
grass came up to here.
It was just unmowed, unkempt.
So when we moved in,
this barn was already built,
and the woman that used to live here did sculptures.
So this is like her sculpture studio.
And this room is pretty messy right now
because this is where I worked out in
for a good year and a half before I moved to the new gym.
So it's a mess.
I'm going to renovate it in about a year,
turn it into more of a strong man gym,
just make it a little nicer,
but still kind of keep the grungy feel.
So it's still going to be kind of like this
unkempt dirty room,
but it needs a little bit of work, but yeah,
this is still a 900 square feet,
which is great for training,
and yeah, it served its purpose for a while
before I moved down there.
But yeah, a couple of things that are really cool out here.
This is a a hundred foot walkway.
And the reason I got that built
was because I wanted to do a carrying exercises,
some training out in the sunlight,
you got the giant swing set
with the hanging rings over there.
And yeah, you got a in ground trampoline.
(trampoline squeaks)
Me and my dad built this.
So if you fill it up with ice,
it's kinda like a big Yeti for your body.
So it retains ice pretty well.
So you could dump a few bags of ice in there,
and it'll stay cold for like a day and a half, two days.
So it's, it's still pretty cool in there,
but I'll do hot cold and sometimes just cold.
So I've got a cheap hot tub over there,
and I got the cold bath me and my dad built,
do some, a hot cold, you know,
kind of like Thor Bjornson turned me on to that.
(upbeat music)
(clucks softly)
Come here, guys.
So this one, his name is Gym Cat,
and that one's name is Sputnik.
So Sputnik is the house cat.
And this is the indoor outdoor cat.
This guy, his kill count is way above a thousand.
We do not have any problems with mice because of him.
He is a yard dragon.
(dragon roar)
This is one of the best parts of the house.
The woman that moved out of here
had renovated the kitchen as like,
one of the last things.
So it's just, it's an incredible kitchen.
It's a galley style.
It just works really well.
So I'm telling you, man,
if you're into bodybuilding or a high-performance sport
or any sport where you have to eat a lot of food.
Dude like equip your kitchen and get a good kitchen.
Renovate your kitchen, just go on Amazon,
buy kitchen stuff in your downtime.
I don't know because if you have a good functional kitchen.
It'll make your life so much easier.
(upbeat music)
All right, this is a meal four.
300 grams of rice split between
rice cakes and cooked sushi rice,
seven ounces of cod and some mixed vegetables
between the sprouts I grow in my sink,
a handful of raw spinach,
just a smidge of sauerkraut for taste.
I got pepper and just plain old mustard.
So there we go.
(cheerful music)
But in order to make sprouts,
I'm gonna show you how easy it is.
So I'm gonna take a second to get this jar,
a little mesh lid, right?
And all you're gonna do,
is here's some sprouting seed,
it's so cheap it's practically free.
You know, you just pour some in there.
It doesn't take very much, that'll explode.
Now watch, you just fill it with water,
done, that's it, all right.
I'm gonna let it sit here.
(jar clatters)
And then I'm just gonna water it
twice a day like a plant,
dump it, rinse it, drain it, let it drain.
And these little things right here, in the sink,
these little angle things,
(jar clicks)
see, and then they turn into this.
Super nutritious, low-FODMAP, fun,
cheap, always there, fresh.
I mean, what are the drawbacks?
What are the drawbacks?
(upbeat music)
- [Dan] So did you just teach yourself how to cook?
- So I started preparing my own meals, right?
Because you know,
my family cooked a certain way
and I knew I wanted to eat a certain way
to be the athlete I wanted to be.
So I was like, nah, I gotta cook my own stuff.
So I've been cooking my own meals since I was like 16,
you know,
my parents would cook their food
and for my siblings and I, I'd cook my own food,
it's just, what you gotta do,
is you just got to cook yourself.
So you learn to do it yourself.
And then you learn tricks to save time.
You know, when your responsibilities increase
as you become an adult, meal prepping is very important.
So I'm very good at batch meal prepping too.
So I can do both.
I can meal prep like a pro on a grill
or you know, batch stuff.
Or I just have it shipped to me
and shows up in my fridge like this.
(upbeat music)
(cheerful music)
(crickets chirp)
Hi, you see me smiling?
(twinkle sound effect)
You see me smiling, right?
Because look how pretty this is.
Look at the spread.
Look, I got a salad I made,
I got six ounces of salmon,
540 grams of red potato.
And here I'm gonna start this meal with some vitamins,
from HD, you got your kidney and your vitamin formula,
but look at this, watch this.
(sighs)
What that is, is cranberry juice,
apple cider vinegar,
and lemon juice.
And you put it in a little shot glass like that,
and you slam it right before you eat your meal.
And it helps prime your digestive system.
This is good to do, like on your second to last,
your last meal of the day.
So I've been doing that for over a year now,
and I love that little trick.
Other than that, this is the base of the meal.
Of course I got, you know,
this is a pretty little vegetable salad,
but it's mostly just some spinach, some sprouts,
some jalapenos, three colored peppers,
because those have calories.
I gotta kind of like, you know,
just not overdo them, pickles and chive.
The soy sauce is gluten-free,
not as many calories in that, so...
(cheerful music)
(crickets chirp)
(Juji yells)
Still here, okay.
You guys want some coffee?
It's around 9:30, so we're on my last meal.
I'm gonna have a whole pot of coffee.
This is meal six.
So that's it, no calories.
I'm just messing with you.
This is actually decaf.
So I do have some decaf coffee.
A lot of people were strongly opinionated
that decaf coffee is gross,
but at this point, (laughs)
I mean, everything tastes good.
So definitely a fan of the decaf coffee.
And I do have my last meal set over here.
Unfortunately, I don't have an eating utensil
because I ate those I was so hungry.
So I can eat this with my hands.
This is 440 grams of sweet potato,
which is equivalent to 300 grams of cooked sushi rice,
again, same number of carbs, every meal a day almost,
and then six ounces of a lean red meat.
And I've chosen elk.
It's what I've been eating, it's from Trifecta.
So six ounces of cooked elk meat.
And that's it.
This one's very simple,
no vegetables with this one.
I just kinda keep it plain and push it back
closer to bedtime so I'm not super hungry
right before I go to bed.
And yeah, so...
(cheerful music)
All right, Muscle and strength,
that was my full day of eating.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Be sure to like, and subscribe,
and comment below anything that you think of
that's just, you know, it just comes to your head.
It's nice.
