I'm pretty happy with what I see in the mirror but I know I can always be better
so every day I'm just chasing to to dig deep and do whatever I can to make my
physique better
every other day I do abs or I do lower back extensions so with my cardio and
then now we are just getting starbucks and I'm bringing I always bring a coffee home
to the wife and obviously for myself I grab one and kind of get gets my day
rolling
hey everybody Regan Grimes welcome to my crib we're now living in our new home here so
we had to come in here get all new furniture all new stuff and it's it's
been a it's been a blessing though because you know it's really really kept
me busy during this time of prep keeps me on my feet and and keeps my mind away
from like just kind of lounging around and like waiting for that next meal I
have a lot of stuff I can do so I used to race motocross guys and just my last
birthday June 26 I purchased another dirt bike for the first time in probably
probably seven or eight years so it's really cool you know a lot of memories
good times I used to go to the track every weekend with my dad and my brother
and it was just what we did so we raced that nationally and it was a lot of fun
a lot of injuries bodybuilding has been better that way but both sports are very
extreme
have this app every morning I step on the scale and get my weight and then I
pretty much right after that I'm gonna take a little video of me posing and I
send it to my coach and then he adjusts sometimes the day of he'll make an
adjustment or the day the next day so yesterday when I woke up I was 249.2
and then he said to have a high day plus a cheat meal so last night we had like
tons of food let's see what our weight is today I bet you tomorrow that weight is
below 249.2 we're not looking to lose any weight it's not it's not
anything to do with the weight we're just trying to change the
composition so I could be putting on muscle right now so it's kind of tough
to like say I need 5 pounds of lot of weight lost you know so alright so I'm
gonna take that little video for my coach and then get that sent off to him
and let's see what the game plan is for the day running businesses bodybuilding
family you have to have a balance and then in bodybuilding when you're doing
competition you pretty much have to be all-in right you got to make sacrifices
is a very selfish sport there's things that you need to put aside that you know
maybe you don't wish you had to but in order to be the best you have to and
there's just no way around that
look at this vic's already making a shopping list
oatmeal eggs I love this thing you can like put you put down things and then Oh
rice rice cakes too she loves her rice cakes hey you stay away this is not for
you dad needs these gainz you already ate and you little rascal at any level
bodybuilding is expensive because you got to follow a diet I mean just to buy
your chicken alone you could be looking at a couple hundred dollars you know a week
or a month you know it's very very expensive when I was starting I go to
school and then I would go training and then I had a part-time job to pay the
bills I moved away from my hometown when I was when I went to my first year
of college I was like 18 and you know that you have to grow up very fast and you
know you need to learn to do things for yourself and I think it was one of the
best things I ever did because I had to learn life myself and you know I had to
work for what I have
welcome to my gym flexplex muscle and fitness
this is where I turn pro a lot of memories man when I first opened this
gym I had a bed in the back I worked what like 24 hours I literally lived here
I had a microwave I'd go to farm boy get my food for like already cooked
I would microwave I would do like oatmeal I would do shakes I would do
cream of rice and I just made it work man but I lived here and you know we just
made it happen it was not always easy at the
beginning it was a real hustle but it was a dream of mine and I wanted to do
whatever it took to make it come true
the ultimate goal for me would be to be up on the the Olympia stage battling out
for first and second man I just I think that it there's like when I see those
videos of Ronnie and Jay like there's nothing that fires me up more than
that there's some days you know where you're like okay
things aren't popping and things are this certain scenarios but then you got
to kind of know the vision like what you can be so I always like feel like think
the law of attraction like if I want to get bigger biceps I want to grow bigger
arms I think about it visually and then I'm gonna make it happen I'm pretty
happy with what I see in the mirror but I know I can always be better so every
day I'm just chasing - to dig deep and do whatever I can to make my physique
better
alright guys welcome to my old neighborhood
so we moved from the east end of the city to the northwest and it's like
pretty much like a different city inside like the East End here it's very like
rough every three days there we'd see police this is our house right here
number 36 this isn't a house that I was ever like proud to be in or anything now
we did I did buy it when I was 22 you know I was very lucky to be able to do
that it was a very cheap place and luckily over the four years it ended
up being a very good investment you know wasn't ideal for me to live here
but it is what it is and it got me to where I am today so I'm happy about the
process I had a lot of projects a lot of ideas a lot of things in my life that
you know come up and I want to do them and maybe I'll start them maybe I'll
spend a few days and then maybe I'll spend a few months on them and I don't
end up finishing them and body building is just one of those things that I have
never ever doesn't matter what time of day I get my ass to the gym and I love
it there's no there's no if ands or buts I'm getting the training in if I'm not
on a regimen on a diet and I'm not training I'm like not happy like it's
just those two things making make me happy and if those two things are like
working everything else is it is great
