The Leanest I've Been in 3 Years... | WORKOUT + MEAL PREP
By Max Euceda
Summary
## Key takeaways - **Leanest in 3.5 Years at 171 lbs**: Weighed in at 77.35 kg or 171 lbs, the leanest I've been since summer 2022, with more muscle than my 164-165 lb low back then. [03:04], [03:38] - **Fruit for Fast Pre-Workout Energy**: Eat fruit like apples and bananas before workouts for simple sugars that enter the bloodstream quickly without spiking like processed sugar, thanks to fiber. [01:30], [02:03] - **Upper-Lower Chest Pairing**: For two chest exercises, pair upper like incline press with lower like decline press to avoid redundancy; don't do middle and lower as their bias overlap is minimal. [14:47], [15:36] - **Warm-Up Increment Strategy**: Use roughly equal weight increments for warm-up sets laddering to working weight, like 35 lbs to plate+25 to two plates+15 then three plates, with 2-5 reps each. [07:27], [07:42] - **Cuff Tricep Extension Tip**: Position cuff on fist area not wrist for greater range of motion and bigger tricep contraction since axis of rotation to contact point is larger. [20:35], [21:02] - **Simple Pan Chicken Meal Prep**: Season pan bottom with Montreal chicken, paprika, onion salt before adding organic tenders, lid on medium-high 8 mins per side to batch cook a week's worth easily.

What is going on everyone and welcome back to the vlogs. The vlogs. The vlogs.
It's been a while. Oh my gosh, it's been so long. Yeah, if you guys have been
so long. Yeah, if you guys have been keeping up with my shorts, Instagram, Tik Tok, you'll know the cut is pretty much over. I planned on doing a lot more
much over. I planned on doing a lot more vlogs here, but I do still have some elbow pain and it still like hasn't fully healed. So, I kind of just waited
fully healed. So, I kind of just waited to start the vlogs again until I was fully 100% recovered. But like this elbow injury is just not going away. I
actually took two weeks off to try and, you know, give it time to heal. During
the workout, it felt great and then the day after it was just a little wonky and I'm just like, what's the point? I don't
got time for this. I'm going to the gym.
But anyway, second time trying out a pump cover. I've actually got the full
pump cover. I've actually got the full grow fit on that. You'll see. This is
actually my protein. A nice little sweater. You know, I also packed my
sweater. You know, I also packed my post-workout chocolate brownie creatine protein shake. This is my current go-to
protein shake. This is my current go-to flavor chocolate brownie. It mixes and tastes really well with water.
Everything on the site, Max E, will be 50% off for Black Friday. My top three items are probably chocolate brownie whey protein, lemon wafers, any waf the wafers are just absolutely amazing. I'd
say lemon is my current favorite and then probably chocolate brownie protein bars are really good. Orange cream
clearway is also really good. Although I
drink so much of it where I'm kind of getting a little bored of the flavor.
Anyway, we're already chilling. We're
already chilling in the video. It's been
2 minutes and I'm already doing a my protein ad. It's Black Friday. Okay, why
protein ad. It's Black Friday. Okay, why
do you think I'm posting here? Anyway,
we've got some apples and a banana for the preworkout food. I actually haven't eaten anything today.
You know, the only thing I really eat before I work out these days is just um fruit just for some simple sugars. Obviously,
very easy digested. Obviously, simple
sugars are just glucose and fructose.
And because they don't need to be broken down, right? They're already those
down, right? They're already those individual molecules. They will enter
individual molecules. They will enter the bloodstream very quickly. However,
because fruit has fiber, that's just going to act as a slowing agent so that you know your blood glucose doesn't just spike immediately like it will if you eat processed sugar, which obviously removes all of that fiber and all the
vitamins and minerals as well.
Obviously, fruit has plenty of vitamins and minerals.
But the reason fruit is great before a workout is because unlike complex carbs, you don't really need to digest them and you can use that energy that it provides pretty quickly. So once I eat this
pretty quickly. So once I eat this banana and apple, it's going to fuel my workout. Whereas, if I eat something a
workout. Whereas, if I eat something a little bit more complex, like a potato or something, it takes longer to break down and I won't be able to convert that into ATP nearly as quickly. So, it's not really going to provide my I've got a piece of banana like why am I talking
with a piece of banana like on the side of my freaking mouth, bro. I also
accidentally brought a second banana. I
kept one in my pocket. This is peak banana condition right here, folks. Just
a little brown. Still some green. And
it's nice and solid. Maybe not raw hard, but like you don't want it soft. If it's
too soft, like who's going to want to eat that? It's just like just get a
eat that? It's just like just get a little bit hard. If it's rock hard, it's kind of a little hard to play with. But
I've got my camera kind of propped on the car here. And it's like on a tripod.
Let's get out of here and see if the camera actually falls.
All right, I'm just going to try and drive a little bit slowly here. Anyway,
folks, yeah, I weighed myself, I think, at 77.35 kg, which who knows how many pounds that is. Maybe 170 something. 171. Yeah, I I
is. Maybe 170 something. 171. Yeah, I I do weigh myself in kilograms. There's a reason for that. I'm not going to get into depth into it. But anyway, this might be the leanest I've been in like
three years. I haven't been under 172
three years. I haven't been under 172 since like I graduated college. And that
was 3 years ago. Actually, no. I was
like 185 when I graduated college. What
am I talking about, dude? I haven't been 172 in like genuinely 3 and 1/2 years.
Since the summer of 2022. That's
absolutely insane. I've got a lot more muscle than back then. I think when I was the leanest in 2022, how much did I weigh? 165
164.
I don't know. Oh, by the way, today is the day before Thanksgiving. So,
tomorrow we feast up with grandma's turkey. Today is an upper day. I forgot
turkey. Today is an upper day. I forgot
to tell you guys that I train legs yesterday. The current split is just
yesterday. The current split is just legs upper rest legs upper rest repeat. I've got two different leg days
repeat. I've got two different leg days and four different upper days. I believe
today is upper D. I do actually plan on making a video
D. I do actually plan on making a video talking about my entire split. So, if
you guys are interested, you want to see my split. I'm currently working on it.
my split. I'm currently working on it.
I'm recording all of the exercises, I am going to make a full video, obviously for free, giving you guys my split, the reasons I do the exercises I do, the frequency, the volume, the sets and reps. Anyway, I was going to record this
reps. Anyway, I was going to record this video that I'm recording right now, you know, just a workout vlog a couple days ago, but I had this genius idea for a YouTube short that I was going to do 150
push-ups to see the before and after of the pump. That was so much harder than I
the pump. That was so much harder than I thought it was going to be. It literally
left me sore for like 3 days. I had to skip the workout. I didn't even go to the gym. I did it on a rest day thinking
the gym. I did it on a rest day thinking like, oh, you know, it'll just be a fun little challenge. It left me immobile
little challenge. It left me immobile for 3 days. It got me thinking, I want to do some sort of challenge like that.
Let's do something like 200 push-ups and 100 pull-up challenge. Skip an upper body workout. Do that home gym
body workout. Do that home gym challenge. You know, I did the thousand
challenge. You know, I did the thousand push-up challenge when I hit 1,000 subscribers. What did I do for a
subscribers. What did I do for a million? A freaking, you know, reacting
million? A freaking, you know, reacting to my old No one wants to see that, bro.
No one wants to see reacting to your old FIFA content. I mean, grow up, bro. And
FIFA content. I mean, grow up, bro. And
let's do that for the million. Oh, no.
All right, so we made it to the gym safely. The apples are gone. Had my nice
safely. The apples are gone. Had my nice preworkout carbs, yada yada yada. And by
the way, when I get home, I'm going to show you guys the meal that I usually eat. Just the chicken and rice. You
eat. Just the chicken and rice. You
know, chicken, rice, some fruit. I don't
eat broccoli anymore. It's just so gross, bro. I can't deal with it. I do
gross, bro. I can't deal with it. I do
plan on doing another full day of eating video. Although, it is kind of just the
video. Although, it is kind of just the same meals I always eat, right? Just I
mean, now it's not even a smoothie anymore. It's just a banana, some fruit,
anymore. It's just a banana, some fruit, then I have a protein shake after my workout, some chicken and rice, and some more chicken and rice, then maybe some salmon or some beef, some potatoes. I'll
show you guys how I cook and prepare and what chicken I buy. My mom actually just picked it up for me at the store. Thank
you, mom. She does my shopping. So,
quick round of applause for Mrs. Usada.
Does all the shopping for the USA family. Yeah. Then I will end the video,
family. Yeah. Then I will end the video, start editing, and hopefully upload it by tomorrow cuz it needs to get out for this my protein sale. I mean, it's 50% off until Monday. It is currently 12:53.
And yes, as you can see, I was just listening to some Minecraft music in the car because Minecraft is peak, you know.
Get your preworkout caffeine. Let's get
pumped. Yeah, we go gym, you know. Let's
just get a relaxing Minecraft music for the aura. Cloudy with a chance of
the aura. Cloudy with a chance of meatball. Nice cozy with the sweater in
meatball. Nice cozy with the sweater in the car. These are the vibes. These are
the car. These are the vibes. These are
the winter vibes, fellas. It was a year ago today. Well, not today, but a year
ago today. Well, not today, but a year ago pretty much where I started the winter arc. Actually, no, I started it
winter arc. Actually, no, I started it November 1st, not December. December 1st
was the start of the cut. I was in the middle of the winter arc last year. And
now, look at me. I'm 50 lbs down. 50. I
think I was 221 at like the peak weight.
Obviously, that was, you know, after a full day of eating, but still. I'm 50
lbs down, fellas. I'm 170 right now.
Time flies. Look at us. Hey, look at us.
Am I all right? No, that's not how it goes. Look at us. Hey, look at us. Who
goes. Look at us. Hey, look at us. Who
would have thought? Not me. Something
like that. Okay, you know, let's get in the freaking gym.
All right, last warm-up set here. Oh,
actually, did I turn the mic on? I turn
it off to save battery. And then I always forget to turn it back on. So,
usually for my first exercise of the lift, I either do three warm-ups or four warm-ups depending on how heavy the weight is. This is usually six to eight
weight is. This is usually six to eight rep range. Hopefully, I can get it for
rep range. Hopefully, I can get it for six. So, I'm only doing three warm-ups.
six. So, I'm only doing three warm-ups.
If I start my exercise with like four reps, I'll do four warm-up sets just because that's going to be a really heavy weight. So, I think I started with
heavy weight. So, I think I started with 35 lbs. Then I did a plate and a 25, and
35 lbs. Then I did a plate and a 25, and then two plates and 15, and then I'll go to three plates for my working set. So,
I think I jump about 35 lbs except it's a 30 lb jump for the last set. But
usually roughly equal increments so that I can just kind of ladder up to my heaviest weight. Just two reps here.
heaviest weight. Just two reps here.
That feels good. That feels good. I like
it. I like it. I like it.
Now, unfortunately, I will drop it down for the next set. So, I got to take that plate off, put on a 25, put on a 10. So,
ideally, I should just put like a 25 and two 10 so that I don't have to strip the whole plate off, but it looks cooler with three plates, right? A lot of people always ask me, you know, how do I warm up? You know, I made a video on,
warm up? You know, I made a video on, you know, my dynamic stretches that I do, you know, that 5 to 10 minute warm-up routine. And also, quick tip,
warm-up routine. And also, quick tip, during the winter, heat up your car before getting into your car. You know,
on the way to the gym, you should be nice and warm. Don't sit in a freezing cold car cuz then your body temperature is just going to get freezing cold and then you've got to warm up more and it's just going to be harder to get blood flow to the muscles. Your muscles are going to be stiff. It's just going to be
harder to push. So, heat up your car.
Get like a a car starter. That'll save
you a lot of energy and time. And then,
yeah, just do a couple warm-up sets. No
more than five reps. That's about it for warm-ups. Man, I'm feeling good. Let's
warm-ups. Man, I'm feeling good. Let's
see how I can do without any music for this first set. Can I get six without music? Is music really that important?
music? Is music really that important?
Let's get ready. Okay, let's get focused. Such focused
focused. Such focused Nice rep. Not bad for no music.
Nice rep. Not bad for no music.
Honestly, not bad. Grinded out that last rep. I only do this exercise maybe once
rep. I only do this exercise maybe once every like week and a half. So, progress
is pretty slow, especially because I'm losing weight and I'm already such a low body fat. But, I think there was a point
body fat. But, I think there was a point maybe a week ago or two weeks ago where I failed that sixth rep. So, I just got it there and I'm happy with that.
All right, headphones on for the second set. I mean, maybe I just play some
set. I mean, maybe I just play some Minecraft music, honestly. What is it?
C418 volume alpha. Chris, that's the song that I've been pumped up to recently. Aiming to get eight reps. I
recently. Aiming to get eight reps. I
think I did get this for eight reps one time, although I really, really struggled. So, it's Chris time. Okay,
struggled. So, it's Chris time. Okay,
it's Chris time.
Damn, that was easier than I thought.
Watching the video back, it'll probably look like I struggled a decent amount.
Although, when I tell you I [ __ ] struggled a couple weeks ago with this, I struggled. So, that's good. Nice
I struggled. So, that's good. Nice
progress on this, right? It doesn't have to be a jump and a rep, but that eighth just felt a little bit smoother. Maybe
my technique was a little bit better.
I'll take that. That is progress, especially on a cut. So, obviously start with the chest, then we do a lat movement, and then back to chest. And I
am only resting like 20 seconds in between, maybe 30 seconds in between sets, just because my left is a little bit weaker because of the shoulder and elbow injury. Plus, it's not like a
elbow injury. Plus, it's not like a Bulgarian split squat that, you know, accumulates a ton of fatigue. You're
sitting down on a machine scooping a handle to your hip. I mean, how hard can it be?
That's It's about one rep in the tank.
If I went for nine, it would have gotten a little bit ugly.
I definitely only have one more in me with this freaking sweater. I don't like sweating during my workouts, especially an upper day, because then you're just losing the electrolytes. They're just
sweating out of you, and so the pump just doesn't feel as good. I did
actually make a two-minute tutorial video on this exercise as well as the first one in this workout. So, if you're interested in that, go watch it. But, as
you can see, I'm doing my left arm. I
keep my left foot on and then I hook with my right instead of like hooking on. A lot of people just kind of loop
on. A lot of people just kind of loop their hand here for support. You don't
swing this way. And also, you won't like on the end, you won't go this way.
You're nice and stable to keep that posture nice and vertical. And then you can really focus on just moving with your lap. Oh [ __ ] that's magnetic. Sort
your lap. Oh [ __ ] that's magnetic. Sort
of a little bit. Oh, [ __ ] that.
All right, same weight here. Let's go
for eight again. Might only get seven, but it is what it is.
>> I'm an idiot. I totally forgot to [ __ ] adjust this. All that energy gone.
things that we thought we might get.
>> Come on. Come on. Come on.
>> I don't think I finished that rep, but kind of tells you that first set was definitely one rep in reserve. Oh my
god, I'm dripping in sweat. My hair has never dripped in sweat before. It's not
even cuz like I'm working hard. It's
just [ __ ] hot in the sweater.
>> All right, that's it for that. All
right, pump cover can finally come off.
This sweater made a mess on the compression shirt. But yeah, honestly,
compression shirt. But yeah, honestly, arms aren't even pumped. Chest, it feels good. But like, I've lost so much
good. But like, I've lost so much electrolytes from sweating that I didn't even feel it. Plus, I mean, I only did two sets. What was I expecting here?
two sets. What was I expecting here?
Let's get this pump back in action here, fellas. Get the pump back in action. All
fellas. Get the pump back in action. All
right, so quick programming tip for the chest. I do two exercises for chest on
chest. I do two exercises for chest on my chest focus days, which means I do one upper and one lower. Now, if you're going to do two exercises, always make sure they're training a different portion of your chest, right? Don't just
do two upper and then nothing else because that's just redundant. But even
if it's, you know, a press versus a fly, it's just still training the same position. You don't need to do that.
position. You don't need to do that.
You're better off just biasing something else like lower chest, which is why I'm doing a decline after I started with an incline. I would either do upper and
incline. I would either do upper and lower like I'm doing in this, which I also have on my other chest. I just do a different decline press and a different incline press and then I train the pec fly. I do midchest on my back focus
fly. I do midchest on my back focus days. So that's kind of how I sequence
days. So that's kind of how I sequence it. You know, if you're doing two
it. You know, if you're doing two exercises, do an upper and lower or an upper and middle, right? If you want to do an incline and a pec fly, that's also fine. Or, you know, some sort of
fine. Or, you know, some sort of perpendicular press, that's also okay.
Just make sure it's doing upper and middle. Don't do middle and lower
middle. Don't do middle and lower because that causal region, that sternal region of your pec, the difference in the bias, the difference in the emphasis is so little that it's just pretty much redundant. If you're going to do two
redundant. If you're going to do two exercises, do an upper in something.
Don't do a middle and lower. If you're
going to do three exercises, then yeah, you can do an upper, middle, and lower.
All right, enough yapping. Let's hit
this freaking set. Jesus Christ.
That was heavy. That was pretty heavy.
There was a time where I used to do like 130 lbs on that. I just do 100 now for that was seven reps. Failed to do eighth. Man, I am getting gassed. The
eighth. Man, I am getting gassed. The
[ __ ] sweater method. I think I said this last time in the bump cover.
There's just no point. I'm just wasting energy. Stole a page straight out of the
energy. Stole a page straight out of the neighborhood playbook for this one.
We've got rear delt cable. No, this is not a cable. rear delt pec deck flies.
If you're doing this dual arm, it stops you. It stops you very early. So, you
you. It stops you very early. So, you
just can't even train your rear delt in that length position at all. So, I do these on one day and then the next day, my next chest emphasis day, I do rear delts again and I do I do cable. It's a
good exercise. It's not one of my favorites to be completely honest, but you do feel it in your rear delt so it gets the job done.
All right.
Oo, this one again is, you know, pretty much 30 second rest in between sets. So, this
is one of those just boring exercises that you just do. It's just boring.
on to triceps. Now, triceps are a little bit sore here, fellas, because of that 150 push-up challenge. They're still
sore. I did that on Sunday. Now, I
actually have four different tricep exercises that I do. I do those kneeling rope push downs, which I need to get an attachment for instead of just gripping onto the straps. Like, there's an attachment that you can actually hook underneath your hand. So that it just removes grip from the equation. I need
to get that. Then I do single arm just cuffed normal tricep extensions single arm which I just said. And then I also do the overhead extension on the machine. And I'm looking for a fourth
machine. And I'm looking for a fourth exercise which is on this day. And I
think today I'm just going to do those cuff tricep extensions. They're just
gated, man. It's just it's the tricep exercise. Let's just freaking do that.
exercise. Let's just freaking do that.
And then biceps which today I believe is an incline dumbbell curl. Maybe I'll
just do regular dumbbell or barbell. You
know, [ __ ] it. Who cares? Biceps are
good enough. I don't even care anymore.
Let's just get a pump. Got a freaking pump, bro. We spotted a friend here,
pump, bro. We spotted a friend here, folks. I don't think he sees me. Steven,
folks. I don't think he sees me. Steven,
for those of you who don't know. Oh,
he's coming over.
>> Checking your clips.
>> Maybe it might be recording something.
>> Recording something.
>> [ __ ] He's mysterious.
>> Red's talking absolutely no one.
You're doing pull-ups assisted?
>> Yeah. Oh,
>> I don't think I'd get in a good range.
Oh, assistant goed it anyway.
I think on these specific tricep extensions is where you really see the imbalance. My left is a lot weaker than
imbalance. My left is a lot weaker than my right. And that's just because this
my right. And that's just because this is just purely elbow extension, right?
When my elbow is injured, this is like the one thing I absolutely could not do.
No pain at all right now, which is perfect. A quick tip, when you're
perfect. A quick tip, when you're cuffing an exercise, instead of putting your arm all the way in and then kind of loop it on your wrist, you're just going to get less range of motion. If I do
this, as you can see, it's kind of less range of motion because it's closer up towards, you know, my elbow. You know,
the axis of rotation versus the contact point is very small. So, you're just going to get less range of motion.
Whereas, if you keep it on kind of your fist, this area, you still don't need to use your grip. Even if you grip it, obviously grip is still out of the equation. And you can just get more
equation. And you can just get more range of motion, pull it further back, get a bigger contraction on your tricep.
Just feels better. And it's just more comfortable to press from there rather than just have it on your wrist. You
know what I mean?
All right. So, we put 60 lb. So, 30 each side. I think this bar is slightly
side. I think this bar is slightly heavier than 45 lb. So, we'll call it 50. Could even be 55, but we'll call it
50. Could even be 55, but we'll call it 50. 50 plus 60. That's 110. I believe I
50. 50 plus 60. That's 110. I believe I got six last time. You know, maybe I got it for seven. Let's just say sell the brand. I got it for seven. Therefore, if
brand. I got it for seven. Therefore, if
I don't get seven, I'm a loser. The
great thing about doing triceps and biceps together is you just get a [ __ ] nasty arm at the end of every upper body day. Whenever I post my videos of me posing, everyone always says like, "Bro, your arms are literally
massive." They're not this big. It's
massive." They're not this big. It's
literally just because I get a tricep and a bicep pump every single time I train.
One thing about I definitely did not get [ __ ] seven last time. Jesus Christ. I do swing a
last time. Jesus Christ. I do swing a little bit on that last rep, but it's inevitable, bro. No matter how good you
inevitable, bro. No matter how good you try and keep your form, Going for another one after that is always just kind unnecessary. You know
damn well you ain't getting it up. So
just don't risk the fatigue. If your
last rep is that slow, like more than a five to six second concentric, your ass ain't getting a [ __ ] another one. So
don't even don't even try. Hair is kind of a mess, but the pump is pumping. I
mean, come on, fellas.
Come on, bro.
If you told me this is what I'd look like after a two-year bulk, you would bet your ass in doing that goddamn two-year bulk. Holy [ __ ] Let's pop the
two-year bulk. Holy [ __ ] Let's pop the shirt off. See what we're working with.
shirt off. See what we're working with.
>> Why does my hair look so freaking curly today? I got to get a haircut, man. I'm
today? I got to get a haircut, man. I'm
not really sure where to put this. Maybe
it just What? What am I doing?
Not bad at all for 171 lbs here. The
music in here is way too loud. What?
What are you looking at, [ __ ] My friend Steven's looking at me with my shirt off. Oh, he's coming over. He's
shirt off. Oh, he's coming over. He's
coming over.
>> What?
>> Let's get a comparison so I can show them actually how big I am compared to >> Diary of a Wimpy Kid over here.
>> I'm 220.
>> Um, >> 12% body fat.
>> Yeah, >> this is 300 lb naked in the corner of the gym. Um, embarrassing everyone.
the gym. Um, embarrassing everyone.
Just gonna I'm like pretending to not know this.
>> Let's get some poses. You just finished your workout.
>> Get some poses in. Get some poses in, bro.
>> You'll see my peptide mark.
>> Have a good Thanksgiving.
>> You're out, man.
>> Have one.
>> Enjoy your meal tomorrow, man.
>> Thank you, bro. Yeah, I got lean, man. I
lost a lot of weight, so >> Yeah. Thank you, man. All right. Enjoy
>> Yeah. Thank you, man. All right. Enjoy
your day. Have a good one.
Is that what the kids do nowadays? Let's
make this protein shake real quick. Down
it, then we'll go home.
Nice chocolate brownie. This mixes so well with water. I mean, look at that. I
mean, no protein left over, no clumps.
Chocolate brownie code maxi will be 50% off for the next couple of days. Get
yourself some protein. I mean, come on.
Let's get out of here. All right.
Welcome everyone to Max's kitchen. Even
though this is not my kitchen. This is
my parents' kitchen. But anyway, it is my kitchen for today. We're going to make some chicken here, which is the easiest thing in the world. Literally,
just throw it in a pan, put some seasoning, and wait like 15 minutes.
That's literally all you have to do.
Like people say, "Oh, you know, chicken and rice, broccoli." Like, that [ __ ] is okay. Maybe not the broccoli, but
okay. Maybe not the broccoli, but chicken and rice is gas. So, I'll show you guys how to make it. Let's get
started. These are the ones I get.
Organic chicken tenders. Very easy to cook. You don't even have to like trim
cook. You don't even have to like trim the fat, cut them up. Literally just
stick them in a pan. They're already
ready to go. So, we go with this pan on this burner. And this massive pan we'll
this burner. And this massive pan we'll put over here. So a quick tip when you are making chicken is to get everything ready before touching the chicken so you don't have to wash your hands over and over. I mean you could wear gloves but
over. I mean you could wear gloves but who wants to do that? The seasonings I use are number one Montreal chicken seasoning. We [ __ ] load that [ __ ] up.
seasoning. We [ __ ] load that [ __ ] up.
And then a little bit of where are you?
Paprika and a little bit of onion salt.
That is it. Those are the only three seasonings I use. The first thing you want to do is oil up the pan. Pro tip,
keep your olive oil in one of these spray containers so you can just spray the pan instead of like drizzling the olive oil and then like turning it around. It's just really annoying. Get
around. It's just really annoying. Get
it nice and oiled. If you're super strict on calories, you should probably track it. I would say maybe if I really
track it. I would say maybe if I really wanted to, I could put a scale, measure it, and then spray it and then measure it again and check the difference to see how much oil I actually used. But I
really do not care right now. Next, all
you have to do is just season the pan, right? So, you don't have to flip the
right? So, you don't have to flip the chicken and season both sides. Just
season the bottom of the pan. That way
when you put the chicken on, you can just [ __ ] slap it onto the already seasoned pan and you get both sides.
Let's load it up here. Good amount of seasoning.
So, that is good there. Let's get some paprika.
And then some onion salt.
So, that is what it looks like when it is seasoned on the bottom of the pan.
Obviously, I could have done a better job, you know, making sure it's a little bit more even, but it doesn't matter.
All right. It's just going to turn into chicken anyway. I don't really care.
chicken anyway. I don't really care.
Once the bottom is seasoned, we can actually touch the chicken here. So, I
just grab a knife to open this [ __ ] Rip these suckers open.
Then, all you got to do is just stick them on the seasoned pan. That's really
all you got to do.
That's one package down. So, if you get a big ass pan like this, it makes it a lot easier to cook a lot at a time. And
that way, you can just meal prep like a [ __ ] ton of these things. It'll last you the whole freaking week. You know, I am personally one who just doesn't mind heating up my chicken. If you want to make it fresh every day, I mean, be my guest. It's just going to take you much
guest. It's just going to take you much longer. I mean, you got to cook it every
longer. I mean, you got to cook it every freaking day. Like, who who wants to
freaking day. Like, who who wants to deal with that? Not me. So, just like that, they are all in.
We'll put some spray here where the raw chicken was just to make sure it's nice and clean.
So again, obviously before turning it on, let's season the other side again.
Starting with that Montreal chicken, some paprika, and then finish with some onion salts just for some flavor, some fl I mean, I
just [ __ ] put pound of seasoning on it. But so let's put the lid on. And I
it. But so let's put the lid on. And I
put it just slightly higher than four, which I think is like I don't know, medium to high, somewhere around there.
And then you just set a timer for like eight minutes.
And then you just simply wait. This one
usually cooks a little quicker, so I'll probably flip it at like 6 minutes. And
then this I'll wait the 8 minutes.
So let's get these suckers flipped. So
that will go on for probably another I don't know 5 6 minutes and then they'll be done. Let's flip these suckers. What
be done. Let's flip these suckers. What
do we got? 30 seconds left here. All
right, let's end this.
And yeah, and I don't know. [ __ ] wait again. Flip these bad boys.
again. Flip these bad boys.
Flip them in. And there is the second one. Obviously some pink around the
one. Obviously some pink around the edges, but after another 6ish minutes, they will be done. Just [ __ ] sit and wait and they'll be done. A [ __ ] easy peasy lemon squeezy. Am I right here,
fellas? All right, so these are pretty
fellas? All right, so these are pretty much done. So, before the freaking
much done. So, before the freaking bottom burns to a crisp, let's turn these off.
And to chop them up, I just use this tiny glass cutting board. And that's
what it looks like, fellas.
No pink, a nice white, juicy piece of chicken. Absolutely delicious.
chicken. Absolutely delicious.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Maybe I should drain some of that.
>> Nothing.
>> Are you sure? There it is, fellas.
Chicken is made.
All right. All that's left here, fellas, is to chop them up, put them in the container, and then heat up the rice because I did not make it today.
Oh my gosh, you did so much.
>> I did the two packages.
>> Nice.
>> Yeah, sometimes it makes a lot, sometimes it doesn't, but this time it made a good amount.
>> Did you clean the spot where we put those chicken? Cuz those chicken
those chicken? Cuz those chicken packages were sticky.
>> Yes.
>> Okay. You got to see the cloud. It It
goes across the whole sky. Took a couple pictures of it. I've never seen anything like it.
>> The ominous cloud. Wow. That is
>> It's like black. It goes all across.
>> That is ominous. here. But look it.
>> You got to send me that picture.
All right, so chicken is finally done. I
haven't even tried it yet. I just
finished cutting it up. It took like literally 20 minutes to cut this stuff up. It does not have to be this small. I
up. It does not have to be this small. I
don't know why I cut it up this small.
It's just completely unnecessary. But
anyway, let's give it a taste test here cuz I am freaking starving. All I've had today was a banana, apple, and protein shake. You've seen everything I've
shake. You've seen everything I've eaten. And it's 4:15 p.m. All right.
eaten. And it's 4:15 p.m. All right.
Why doesn't everyone just sit here and make chicken that'll last you the whole like look how much this is? Let's
measure out the rice, heat it up, and then mix in some chicken, put in some cheese, cut up an apple, and let's get freaking feasting, baby. So, we'll do 5
oz of rice.
Usually, obviously, I mix in the chicken and then microwave it, but since I just made this, I'll just microwave the rice on its own for a minute. And literally
the only thing I put on this, I don't use any mustard, barbecue sauce, or any sort of condiments. I use nothing except cheese. Colby Jack cheese. Is that
cheese. Colby Jack cheese. Is that
upside down? Yes, it is. Only got a little bit left here. So, I got to shred some later, although I'm not dealing with that right now. I put 10 g of cheese. And that is it.
cheese. And that is it.
That might be all we have left here, fellas.
That might be it. Oops, that was 13 g.
All right. A little cheesy today. And
last but not least, a tiny bowl of cashews. None other than the cashews,
cashews. None other than the cashews, fellas. One serving, which is 30 g. So,
fellas. One serving, which is 30 g. So,
I do have this with both meals. So, I'll
have 60 g of cashews a day, which is two servings. So, we got carbs, fats,
servings. So, we got carbs, fats, protein. It's a little bit of everything
protein. It's a little bit of everything here, fellas. This is the perfect meal
here, fellas. This is the perfect meal in my opinion. I eat this twice a day.
And you know what? I'm going to have some freaking lemonade. That's what I'm going to do. Hell yeah. That's right. I
am cracking open a cold one. My Proteins
Clearway Isolate Lemonade. This is
actually surprisingly very good. I've
been drinking this with a couple of my meals just because it tastes so good. I
mean, it's like just a nice cold refreshing drink.
It's just lemonade, bro. Who doesn't
like lemonade? I mean, come on. So, the
chicken has been made. We've got the Clearway lemonade, protein, chicken, and rice, some nuts for healthy fats, apple
for carbs, baboom. It is 4:30. Honestly,
it took way longer than normal today because I was getting all this freaking footage, but I am freaking starving. All
right, who doesn't love cheesy chicken and rice? This has got to be the greatest
rice? This has got to be the greatest meal in existence.
You want any of this lemonade? I'm not
going to finish it. All right. Sure.
>> It's good. All right, folks. That is it for meal number one. You know, I don't really count the banana, apple, and protein shake as a meal. You know, in a couple hours, maybe 2 and 1/2 hours. I
will eat this again. Usually, I'll have the lemonade with that meal because I did just have a protein shake after the workout, but I was feeling it. So, I
[ __ ] drank it again. Code Maxi will be 50% off until Monday. That is it for the vlog. Hopefully, we're going to do
the vlog. Hopefully, we're going to do some more very soon. And um yeah, that is it. All right. Yeah, this freaking
is it. All right. Yeah, this freaking stool man.
