0:00 hey guys i'm going to be reviewing a video by julia renee it's called day in the life as an ifbb pro yeah yeah yeah yeah

[video] 0:27 yes this is what a winner looks like all right and here she is the winner welcome back to another video today we're going to be spending the whole day together we're going to do some training some eating i'm going to give you guys some updates on my injury and how my

0:51 An injury that's so unheard of. You never hear bodybuilders or people who do sports talking about injuries. I'm so surprised to hear about it.

1:09 The physique, of course. They always talk about their physiques, how they are doing. in the gym, how much metal they can lift up and down. But they never talk about their health. She doesn't look healthy. She looks very exhausted. The dark eye circles and the under eye bags are very apparent.

1:39 It simply shows the health of your skin. Dark eye circles are not impacted by anything else. It purely only shows how stressed and exhausted you are.

2:05 And all just because you want to achieve this physique. Why would you want this? Why do men want these crazy physiques? It's because somebody told you to do that. And then the question is, do you want to live your own life? Or do you want to live the lives of other people? Do you want to listen to their opinions, absorb them, and then live that kind of a life?

2:35 You can choose.

[video] 2:37 For dear life, we just have to see them a little bit, you know, not as much as we did, definitely not as much as we did during prep. My arms are staying, you know, relatively lean. My waist is staying at about like 27 inches at this point, where like the peak, peak of prep, it was about 24 inches, like dried out, leanest I've ever been.

3:07 What can you say to that? Body dysmorphia is very widespread nowadays.

[video] 3:14 Morning. Meow. What are you doing?

3:21 As always, a cat instead of a child or more children, ideally. Of course.

[video] 3:30 Why are you looking at me so serious? Hi, baby. What did you do? No.

3:38 And she calls the cat baby, as always. I know you don't like kisses, but I wanna give you kisses. Okay, bye. She wants to take care of a small being, her children, of course. She wants to nurture. No matter how much you go against nature, it will always stay inside of you because it's your nature. You can never get rid of it.

[video] 4:12 Hey guys, I just did my morning journaling and I did my check-in with my coach. So a couple of things that I have noticed like in this growth phase at least, like that my glutes

[video] 4:29 When you're in a growth phase, it can be really challenging because it is hard to put on quality muscle mass. And it's not as visual as it is when you're in a cut.

4:39 You're not actually putting on any muscle mass. If you would stop working out, then the muscle mass which you are trying to maintain, which you didn't gain, would go away. And that's because you never actually put on any muscle mass.

5:06 Just to be clear in case you don't understand what I'm saying. Look at any animals out there. Look at a gorilla if you want to. Those are big animals. If they would look twice their size, for example, which is almost the case with a lot of people, Eddie Hall is an example of that, then he would look abnormal, obviously, the gorilla, seeing as he would be severely obese, overweight. And all that it means is that the gorilla wouldn't be at the natural weight that it's supposed to be. And that's exactly the case with bodybuilders nowadays. And that's why they cannot actually put on any muscle mass. because they only have their natural muscle mass.

5:58 All that they can do is try to maintain a non-natural physique, but your natural physique will always be programmed inside of you, so to speak. It's the same as your overall nature. It will simply never change, no matter what you do. All that you can do is try to suppress it. When you work out, you are trying to suppress your nature, in this case, your natural physique, or the physique that you achieved by eating the food that you ate. And that's why you developed into the human being that you are now. That's not necessarily your...

[video] 6:42 natural physique seeing as most of you ate bad food when you were growing up but It is the way you will look like for the rest of your life if you're in your 20s already It's easier to stay motivated because there's more like numbers that you're chasing, you know versus when you're in an improvement season You can't just look in the mirror one day and be like, oh like my waist has gotten smaller or the scale went down It's more so slow and gradual. So i have been doing like glute measurements that's been my metric and then my waist measurement and then just monitoring like my scale weight so that it's not like going up too fast too quickly which has been good we've been steadily increasing weight not too fast not too slow which is perfect chef's kiss my calories are at an all-time all-time high and i'm finally feeling so much better in training which i'll you know it's all about working out

7:30 wasting your energy, eating a lot and growing. And growing simply means aging. She's simply describing how she's aging and becoming unhealthy.

[video] 7:43 I'll explain a little bit more once we get to our leg day today, but I'm feeling good with my physique. There's definitely still like some days where I'm like, oh, like I wish I could go back and do

7:56 She's 30 years old, by the way. At least that's what it says online.

[video] 8:00 A lot of people who compete with people that just go through like building phases and cutting phases have this similar feeling where you get into your building phase and you're like, yeah, I can eat more food and I feel stronger. But you're like, but I'm putting on body fat and the scale is going up. And you have this tendency to be like, I should go back into a cut. But this part is so important for that physicality.

8:27 It may seem as if she's trying to motivate the viewers, but in reality, she's obviously trying to motivate herself. And when you try to motivate yourself to do something, then you're doing something that is bad for you. Seeing as you don't need any motivation to do something that is good for you.

[video] 8:49 Good morning! How are you? Good, how are you? How are you? What? She speaks German? Interesting. How are you?

9:24 I have to say, she doesn't look good for 30. You can really see the consequences of this kind of a lifestyle. It's all the stress.

[video] 9:36 Like a turtle.

9:50 and this music as if she's at the beach sunbathing with her family.

[video] 10:17 a lot of weird and inviting shots if you understand what i mean somebody is a copycat and was just so jealous of how good my breakfast was every day that now he's eating it and that person is you look how delicious this looks guys i know this is not the right knife cut it quick but it works

[video] 10:51 There we go. Okay, we have our brekkie. We have grapes and blueberries today.

[video] 11:12 I've also been adding some, like, turkey.

11:14 Grapes and blueberries. That's funny because those are the most sprayed fruits, pretty much. Grapes are also a berry, technically. Just stay away from berries or simply eat wild berries without any pesticides.

[video] 11:31 Bacon or lower-calorie, like, ham to my egg white scramble. Just add a little bit more protein. It also adds a lot more flavor. And then this is the potatoes salsa. I know it is ginormous because it's from Costco. And the Costco day.

[video] 11:47 It's so good. A little bit of honey. Are you jealous? Look who's over there watching mine. He took a strap yesterday. Yeah, yesterday was his first day of prep and he did so good. Mine does it better. You know when you hit the point of like, so there's that point in prep where I get cold all the time because I'm like so lean and all I have to be is cold. And then there's a point in my off season where I'm hot all the time. I have more like weight on me. I have more body fat. So yeah.

12:21 The breakfast wasn't really that bad. She eats some animal foods. The typical red sauce, of course, as always, to imitate blood, raw meat. That's typical nowadays when it comes to slave meals.

[video] 12:37 It's interesting how these bodybuilders try to grow

13:03 I'm kind of doing everything not to grow.

[video] 13:07 You have this food, so you eat this food. Or Lucas will say, come on, eat your food. Like, we're trying to get big. We're trying to go to the Olympia. And I'm like, okay, okay, okay, okay. So then I eat my food. But yeah, there's some days where my appetite isn't as much. And I noticed that after my leg days especially, the day after is when my...

13:23 Of course, everything that you do is counterintuitive. You don't want to go to the gym. You don't want to eat so much food. It's all about forcing yourself. This whole lifestyle goes against your nature. It goes against human nature.

[video] 13:39 If you would be eating healthy food and you wouldn't be working out, then you wouldn't need all of this makeup.

[video] 14:00 So we're just gonna start like touring some and really kind of see what it's like. I have a meeting with my team here in a few and then we're gonna go tour the house and then train some legs. I'll give you guys some updates on how my body's been feeling because it's just so much better. Like it's crazy and it's annoying and it's tedious work for sure, but it's worth it. Okay y'all, we're just doing some client check.

14:24 Like a completely different human being.

[video] 14:29 I can even understand why some women use makeup now and then. A little bit something here and there. You have some pimples, which you shouldn't have anyway, obviously, if you would be eating naturally.

14:52 and you want to cover them up. I get that, but this is over the top. Then your face looks like a doll. It looks very artificial.

[video] 15:05 But just to give you guys an update on my back, my hips and how everything's going. Oh my God, it's so much better. So there was, maybe like the last time that I was training at this gym and I filmed like for YouTube, I think I told you guys, like I could barely get through my workout. There was times where, I'd go to like the first exercise and I was just like done like right off the bat. And with now doing like all of the recovery work that I'm doing, the PT, the exercises that I'm doing, correcting my training, because now I have the awareness that I tend to do a, I tend to like arch my back and push my booty up all the time. So I need to keep like tucking it. So just having that level of awareness that like,

15:40 always these problems because what you're doing is unnatural, but you still force yourself to do it just because of beliefs. Other people's ideas dominate your life. It's insane.

[video] 15:57 i've been doing that and know when i go train like girl stop doing that has really been helping it's been very annoying and tedious because i felt like i have to kind of start from square one with everything and then work my way back up and now i'm finally feeling that i can actually get strong again because i had to drop the weights down like drop the ego for a while and just start from scratch. So now I'm getting to lift a little heavier and that feels great, but I'm still doing all the things that I need to do, like going to PT, doing my recovery, doing my warmup. So I'll see you in there and fingers crossed.

16:29 A good leg day, is that what she said? There's no such thing.

17:04 These shots, man. Don't tell me that this is a coincidence or anything like that. Come on.

17:14 Maybe it's because she's together with that bodybuilder guy. You know what they say about them when it comes to... Whatever, you get it.

17:39 if it would happen once or twice in the video then maybe you could call it a coincidence but even then i wouldn't but it's just over the top it's all the time

[video] 18:07 It's for me? Fran? You're mean!

[video] 18:23 We always fight over who gets the package from the front door, because I love Prezzie's. Even if it's something that I know that I ordered that's coming, I get really excited. So we fight over, like, whose package is it? And he just pulled a prank on me, and it's his package. Fabric cheese. Salsa.

18:39 ordering a lot of packages fighting over them it's a clear sign that she wants children she wants to fill her empty life it's typical actually my favorite mega fit meals which is the chicken chipotle bowl it's so

[video] 18:59 Just a typical garbage bodybuilder meal. Made in a microwave. Some eat with white seeds and flowers.

19:27 just in case it wasn't completely destroyed now you can be sure it's so good i like having people nowadays just eat some slime which was heated up in a microwave at least now one of my meals a day one of the mega fit meals just because it's like so easy my favorite ones are this one and then the go-to meal which is just chicken broccoli and raisins just they

20:02 And there she is, back again. It was her, then some other being with the makeup, and now she's back again.

[video] 20:13 I do like it that she actually shows herself, because a lot of people don't nowadays.

20:32 especially all the influencers, bodybuilders, even health influencers.

20:40 You can see what this kind of a lifestyle does to you. That's good.

20:55 Is that the cat there? Oh, yeah. Huh. Nice family.

21:06 Oh, that was a dog. That makes sense. Cats are kind of like children for sure, but they always get dogs when they want somebody to actually care about you. If they want somebody to love, then they need a dog. It's very common because cats don't show you the same kind of love.

21:35 It's not the same kind of love as you have between humans anyway, obviously. But I guess that you could say that it's closer to it, maybe, when it comes to dogs and humans.

[video] 21:52 I also look really sleepy. I haven't been sleeping very good lately. Okay, guys, that's going to be it for today.

21:57 It's possible that both of them are infertile.

[video] 22:00 Today's video, I hope you enjoyed. Go watch Love is Blind so that I have somebody to gossip about Chris and Alex. They're dinguses.

[video] 22:12 And here's my factory ranch.

22:14 Really annoying character.

22:19 How does he live together with her? I guess that they fit together somehow.

[video] 22:23 Oh, he's eating veggies with a fat-free sauce because he's starving himself.

22:49 Want me as your coach? Apply for one-on-one coaching below. Subscribe. Yeah. Wow, great. There's not much more to add to this. She's clearly unhealthy. I'm glad that she showed herself without all the makeup. Not many influencers do that, especially female influencers. She's going against her intuition and that's why she's suffering in her everyday life, even on the days when she's trying to recover from all the stress and damage. Seeing as you cannot even enjoy your life on the recovery days, you never actually have energy.

23:42 You work out, and then when you try to recover, you sleep 12 hours, then you nap during the day. You constantly need to cover up the way you look like, at least when you go outside. It's all about forcing yourself to work out and to eat garbage food heated up in the microwave, and then you try to recover from it, and you also try to mask the consequences of the lifestyle. That's what your life revolves around. Think about what you're doing to yourself. Thanks for watching.
