How to Get Jacked as a High Schooler

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520 So you're looking to get jacked as a high school student? 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,880 Well, I would follow these four key principles. 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,160 First, wake up early. 4 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,600 Second, become independent. 5 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:08,880 Third, keep it simple. 6 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,640 And fourth, get used to routine. 7 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,360 So let's talk about the first principle, waking up early. 8 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,520 Now, I know a lot of people aren't gonna wanna do this, 9 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,240 but the reality is the first task that you complete 10 00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,520 in the day is the most important task. 11 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,720 So if your first task that you complete 12 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,080 is first period at school, 13 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:28,100 well then that means that that's the most important task 14 00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:28,940 for you. 15 00:00:28,940 --> 00:00:30,280 There's shame in that, 16 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,240 but if you're looking to get jacked, 17 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,120 then that means the most important task for you to complete 18 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,200 is to go to the gym and train. 19 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,360 So with that said, 20 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,320 in order to actually achieve the goal of getting jacked, 21 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,640 you have to go to the gym and train hard. 22 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,240 And to be able to train hard, 23 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,720 you're gonna need a lot of energy, 24 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,200 which good news, you're gonna have a lot of energy 25 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,520 in the morning before school, 26 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,040 more so than after school 27 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,840 because school drains your energy, 28 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,960 but you'll only have that energy 29 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,840 if you get enough sleep every single night. 30 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,200 So that means getting at least nine hours of sleep 31 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,040 every single day. 32 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,040 That means you're gonna have to make some sacrifices 33 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,080 and go to bed early. 34 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,400 Second, become independent. 35 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,080 One of the biggest things when it comes to being successful 36 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,360 in building your physique 37 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,940 is limiting all of the external factors 38 00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:13,960 that you can't control. 39 00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:17,180 And one of those things is your transportation to the gym. 40 00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:20,040 Make sure that you are completely independent 41 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,520 on your transportation to the gym. 42 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,120 So to fix this issue, 43 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,720 get a bike and get used to biking to the gym 44 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,120 every single day on your own. 45 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,520 Bike to the gym, shower, and then bike to school. 46 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,720 The third key principle is to keep it simple. 47 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,880 So keep your workout routine simple. 48 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,200 I would recommend you to follow 49 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,920 a simple push, pull, leg split, 50 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,440 but I recommend you to do leg day first 51 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,520 because legs are the hardest to hit. 52 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,280 So you wanna do that first. 53 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,240 And then second, do whole day 54 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,680 because the main difference between the male body 55 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,760 and the female body is that the male body 56 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,560 has a much stronger back and a much bigger back. 57 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,120 And so you wanna hit back. 58 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,160 Second, the third day is push. 59 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,840 So basically you do legs, pull, push. 60 00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,680 That's your split. 61 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,320 Also, make sure you are hitting every single muscle, 62 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,960 especially the ones that people tend to neglect. 63 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,600 Focus on the hamstrings to prevent injury. 64 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,200 The calves because it is a lie 65 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,960 that calves are all genetics. 66 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,720 Your traps so your shoulders and neck look bigger. 67 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,760 Your long head tricep because it is embarrassing 68 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,040 having a squishy long head tricep. 69 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,800 Your core because who doesn't want a six pack. 70 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,520 And finally, your neck because having a thick neck 71 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,880 makes you look way bigger, stronger and masculine. 72 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,520 So pause the video now to see the full workout routine 73 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,360 that I would recommend. 74 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,400 Another thing to keep simple is your diet. 75 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,080 You should be eating clean and you should be eating a lot. 76 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,320 Here's some foods that I recommend in the breakfast category, 77 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,240 the lunch category and the dinner category. 78 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,520 And some of these foods I wouldn't eat today. 79 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,360 So here's my current diet. 80 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,760 Eggs, white rice, burgers, steak, chicken and fruit. 81 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,720 As for the supplements, I'm not a doctor 82 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,000 so I can't recommend any. 83 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,360 But what I take is salt, creatine, pine pollen, 84 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,200 cistanch and magnesium. 85 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,120 I would recommend to eat breakfast before the gym. 86 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,800 This just allows for another meal for more calories. 87 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,040 And I would also recommend to pack a snack 88 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,080 for after the gym before school. 89 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,840 This can be anything like nuts, a protein shake, a sandwich. 90 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,960 These things I personally wouldn't eat today, 91 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,400 but these are the things that I did eat. 92 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,160 And I would recommend meal prepping 93 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,840 and packing a lunch for school and keeping it healthy 94 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,720 because the school food is not healthy. 95 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,360 And usually it's not enough either. 96 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,760 So pack your own lunch and pack a big lunch. 97 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,120 One of the meals that I had was chicken and rice. 98 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,240 And then another thing that I did do for a while 99 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,240 was a salad of rice, beans, nuts, avocado and lettuce. 100 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,080 So make sure you're keeping your diet simple. 101 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,200 One important thing to note is to stay humble 102 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,360 because inevitably when people find out 103 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,480 that you wake up early and go to the gym early, 104 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,920 they are gonna be surprised 105 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,880 and they're gonna be extremely impressed. 106 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,480 But avoid talking about it 107 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,320 and avoid bringing it up on your own 108 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,640 because you're gone to the gym, 109 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,360 you're waking up early for yourself, not for others. 110 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,920 But if they do find out and they do ask about it, 111 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,920 then just tell the truth because that can be fuel. 112 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,400 On days when you don't want to go to the gym, 113 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,080 you'll remember that other people may ask 114 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,080 if you went to the gym today in the morning. 115 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,920 So that will help fuel you forward. 116 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,160 Another thing is your identity. 117 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,840 One of the biggest reasons why I'm able to wake up 118 00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:21,360 and just get to the gym early every single day 119 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,120 is because it's part of my identity. 120 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,200 I identify as someone who wakes up early 121 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,240 and goes to the gym early. 122 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,200 So this gives me a huge advantage 123 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,160 over someone who doesn't have that identity 124 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,720 because now I'm able to push myself further 125 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,080 because that's just who I am. 126 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,160 The fourth thing is to get used to routine 127 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,680 because you're gonna find yourself doing the same things 128 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920 at the same exact time every single day 129 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,600 for weeks upon months upon years. 130 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,600 That's exactly what it takes to become jacked.
