0:00 [Music] welcome to a celebratory episode of the careful boys where we get to talk about Bart's bodybuilding competition double gold you did it double swords double swords even though I didn't bring the swords I don't know you asked me yesterday if I brought the swords why the ████ would I bring the swords why wouldn't you bring the swords always bring if I if I won swords I would travel everywhere with it if DSA allowed me he say let you take guns bro but not on you though can you imagine he's got not one but two they're heavy and Bart's traveling the world like this so SI that would be so cool and he says ask me about my swords yeah well try the cross one on your back like Leonardo oh yeah cool yeah you're like Leonardo look at

0:51 that man look keep going keep going back though almost there yeah I can can't get it out I can't get my sword yeah you can Bart like that look at that ████ look at that ████ do ████ Leo so sick dude editor can you slow-mo that real quick cuz that looks I bet it looks sick also undelete it if you can remember remember when you first got a camera when you're like 13 with your friends and you think that you look cool as ████ like that dude I did that with Game Boy camera you had that yeah that's sick it was Rad but man what a way to sell a workout program you win the ████ bodybuilding competition at the end that's insane what what made you decide to actually get ripped um cuz he's always been strong yeah I think like sacrificed his strength for looks and his mind for like

1:42 nine months yeah you became like brain fog Master didn't you brain fog Master yeah I did have brain I think it was just one of those things where like um I don't know when you get old or some ████ like I I remember like in the last probably like the last 5 years I've been like kind of thinking about some of the things I feel like I could have done better or things that I regret or whatever and I'm like when I got into fitness I always told myself I would never do a bodybuilding show like people would ask me and I'm like I would never do a body just because I don't feel like I have to discipline for the diet or whatever and then I started like thinking about like why do I always say that like why do I say that like do I just like hide behind that I'm the the funny guy in Fitness or whatever like do I have these crutches which makes me not really want to do something that's like really hard and then so last year I actually like wrote down a bunch of things that I think I should just do and then that was one of them I think I

2:32 should just get under 10% body fat like once in my life what do you think was the limiting belief that kept you thinking that you you don't want to do bodybuilding or whatever I think milkshakes yeah so you're like a food like your your love for food you you don't want to give up that on the inside I'm David I love ████ food David but two times his appetite like I can eat David to the ground you can e so I can eat David to the so like I love food as much as him but I can also eat two three times more than he can so I think so in my mind it's always been like oh it's not in my DNA or oh I see I see that's not me right and then but then I was like but but I'm in control of who me is or whatever I feel like when you said you wanted to enter your 40s in the best shape of your life that

3:22 was dope yeah and then so I think after deciding that then I started like thinking about what are all the positive things I can come out of and that was one of them so so it's almost like I just chose a theme that I said I was I always said I would can never do just choose to do it and then now the kind of like the reverse engineered reasons why I should do it came after rather than I think trying to figure out the why and then choose it was just like just do it and then the Y will come after yeah did you know that you were going to win ████ swords cuz I think if more competitions had swords as the trophy that do more competition I I had no idea and what did the sword have any to do with the bodybuilding so in that's what I found out in no no in bodybuilding they I don't know why it is but it is cultural across all feder or Trad traditional they all give you swords if you win first everyone wants

4:14 the sword of the night that's what everyone goes for so it's like a thinge yeah how come there's no like Gold Gym pictures of Arnold Holden swords I don't know I thought a trophy cuz he doesn't want to look like Conan again I thought a trophy was going to be like a regular soccer trophy and at the top there's like a gold dude so second place gets a trophy and then yeah second third get gets trophies but then first gets swords that's cool which is kind of cool I guess you going to mount them yeah actually am actually so I'm going to since I got two of them I'm going to get a a plaque made and I'll get cuz I'm never going to do it ever again so I really want to like commemorate it cuz it was like one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life and I'm like okay I'm never going to do this again I'm glad I got it out of the system and I did something that I thought I couldn't do but then inside I am David so I'm going stick to my roots and uh not do something like this ever again

5:04 yeah I mean you've done a lot of hard things what made this one extremely hard so this one is hard for me specifically it might be hard for other people but so like boot camp is tough it's 14 weeks of like hell you only sleep like 5 6 hours a day um but when you go and eat three meals a day which is by law they have to give that to you you're entering into like a HomeTown Buffet so you can go and get a stack of six bread you can ask for like 10 eggs or whatever so I'm one of those people if I have those things during my day I can do anything I can train I can run 20 miles but if if I get to have four brownies I get to recover and I feel good so like the fact that like you can like bust your ass and then almost kind of fill your cup back up it makes boot camp a little bit easier and

5:55 everyone's doing it and there's no temptation bodybuilding it's a self-imposed torture so like when I come to JK news I see all this too you know like everyone see is seeing this I have to tell myself I can't touch that I have to tell myself I don't want Vietnamese coffee I have to tell myself I don't doal with this and I have to come prepped with my own so it's like almost like imagine being in jail but it's a imaginary jail that you impose upon yourself and that's the part that makes it really really really hard so that's like the hard part number one and the second part that makes it really hard is once you get towards the last I would say four weeks of prep your calories are between for my body weight was between like 1,00 and 1300 oh wow that's like one meal yeah so my fats were at 30 which is like the biological limit before my hair starts falling out my nail starts cracking

6:46 before like the last four weeks of prep I had no boners in the morning whatsoever um because your hormones are just getting saving yeah they're just it's just gone they literally um they call it protein sparing starv or protein sparing fast you're technically doing a one month fast but only eating enough so that your cells don't die your body doesn't die and your muscles don't die so that you can get like paper thin skin and so like that part was pretty crazy like even my barber when I came back after this show he like dude you're ████ alive again cuz I kept hearing that from people like Gio M her her mom her brother everyone's like dude you were so ████ dead I was like dude for real like dead like your energy and the your think and everything yeah like I was just the shell of a person no one was there and then even my Barb was like dude you're ████ alive again and I was like what do you mean he goes dude

7:36 the last couple times you came in you're just sitting here like I didn't want to bug you cuz I know you're going through prep and I was like what the ████ even you can tell and I only see you for like 30 minutes at a time yeah so that's what's that's that's the tough part where biologically you're starving and AKA killing yourself but then compared to like Boot Camp or marathon training where like Marathon you can run 15 miles but eat whatever you want after and the next day you you feel brand new this one is just like you go 90% 80% 70% so you feel like a slow death towards the end and then when you're down there and like you're like oh like I would the last 3 weeks I would probably wake up five times every night ████ just from Hunger cuz you know when your hormones are ████ you can't even sleep through the night so I'm like I'm waking up like oh ████ what the ████ and I'm just sitting there I'm like God damn it's ████ 3:00 a.m. holy ████ ████ and I'm so hungry but then I go to the kitchen I

8:26 can't really eat anything cuz all my meals are under 200 calories so I'm like ████ what do I do what do I ████ do then you're just kind of like in this type of like mindset 24 hours a day for like a whole month think I'm just going to buy swords did you tell yourself beauty is pain I don't even know if I was even thinking I was just like this is ████ crazy when you look when you got there right and you see the guys who came in second and third did do you look at them and go like I know why they got second honestly you do I didn't I didn't realize that but like so the difference between so my sport is actually powerlifting and it's one of those where like let's say you kind of had a s█████ practice or whatever now I mean I'm sure even MMA is like this somehow sometimes you can YOLO a win right lucky Punch or that one day like

9:17 you're about to go up and you're supposed to squat or deadlift you see your kid there you get that extra boost of energy and you're like ████ yeah and you have that extra superhuman 10% that kicks in bodybuilding it's all in the preparation so the day that you show up you can't magically drop 5% body fat M there's no YOLO wins it's like a math test yeah it's like either you're prepped or not and then so when we walked in even to this backstage to uh to get sprayed um my videographer was like dude I think you might win and I was like for real I started looking around and you could just see like the condition that people came in like Who had who was leaner who had more like definition you could just see right then and they're like generally okay these guys are top three for sure I'm the most jacked guy in the room full the jacked guys those guys can

10:07 tell also that they're not going to win when they look at you and stuff if I was one of the guys that I saw I would know I'm not winning cuz it like that one meme where the guy's like normal as ████ no there's this one dude that was there I was like as this guy is getting sprayed he's looking rounder and softer oh they put the town on look more defined and hard right cuz you're going to go under these crazy stage lights and it'll just like wipe you out cuz it's so bright there's one guy that was getting sprayed and usually as you get sprayed you just like you get more and more definition I was like dude this guy is just turning into like a Hershey's chocolate bar when they spray you do they go from just neck down or all the way the whole thing the whole thing so even the back of your head your face how' you feel to be that tan do you like it it's weird cuz you like you get

11:00 sprayed and then you kind of just stand there and then you have to like wear pajamas and and a long sleeve shirt to go to sleep because uh you don't want it to rub off the next day like on your sheets you do it the day before yeah you do it the day before so that's coat number one coat number two you go in in the morning again before the show so you can't shower and then they spray you down and then right before you go on stage they do like touch-ups and stuff damn this video is called like why you should never do a bodybuilding comp but you know what's crazy like I I did one and I was like okay okay ████ that never doing this again this just ████ crazy and I talk to people there's people that do it and they can't wait for the next one and I ask them I'm like why like because I I know the last four weeks of prep is always crazy for every anybody and the the answer that I get is they go like when there's no like crazy goal they feel like they're just kind of moving aimlessly through life so signing

11:52 up for something it locks everything in and when that part gets locked in so does their Hustle the relationship like everything gets locked in so they have they feel so much focus in their life and like purpose and purpose so they can't wait to have that feeling again instead of just Meandering around I'm like oh ████ okay I see I can see why people would do it but I would never do it again okay next question you're done with the competition first thing you eat was it so the so during the I don't know why but I had like uh urges for Smash Burger like a really good crispy meat with the cheese Smashburger with the Fluffy bread and then um peanut butter jelly sandwiches so that sounds bomb too yeah so I uh at the same time no those are just my two random urges stacked up yeah so I uh I I uh yelped

12:42 around the the bodybuilding show like if there was a Smash burger place I found a place that had four stars was actually pretty good directly after the show yeah right after the show we're going there wow I got I got one Burger fry and a milkshake and I was like see life is about balance I'm just going to get one Burger I us I'm a two Burger guy I'm just get one Burger so I got one Burger I bit into it I was like God thisam is ████ good I stood up and I went to order another [Laughter] one incredible so I had two burgers a milkshake fries and then I got home and I immediately made like two peanut butter jelly sandwiches that was so good they taste better than anything ever cuz you've just been so deprived yeah like all your taste buds were like yeah because you're you're um you're eating single ingredient be it's like this is like like 20 ingredients right you're

13:32 eating like chicken yeah with no salt sace nothing some some days no salt cuz you don't can't have any sodium so it's like just chicken or ████ broccoli just base food what was the best was it like that moment that you ate cereal was it that moment you at the smash BRD honestly it was a cereal the cereal video was was it the cereal before yeah so the cereal um it was because so you get crazy depleted um your muscles will look flat so so there's a carb up day leading into the show and then so on carb up day my coach Jared CH jar who's coming on in like 2 weeks he's prescribed me a think like 800 gam of carbs and and he'll literally write out the meal plan so you don't ████ around it'll be like uh 250 g of carbs from a kid's cereal so I was like ████ yeah cinnamon toes crunch I dumped literally like half the box cuz I was

14:22 doing the calculation I was like how much ises 250 g of carbs from this and it was half the box I was like ████ yeah and then just eating that it was like Flavor Nostalgia childhood everything like all at once and I was like oh what was the crazier feeling that or sex your first time like as a 15-year-old or like your first time first time oh cuz I didn't have a boner for a month I was like I didn't know if you meant first times having sex coming back I see coming back from like now or a 15-year-old whichever one was crazier which one's crazier whichever is more comparable to the bowl of cereal yeah to the bowl of cereal dude that's ████ crazy he's like I'm going to say the cereal I think cinnamon to grunt for both that's eating it and then like

15:13 feeling ████ Goosebumps down my back like wow I it's probably the sugar too yeah I think I was looking my lips watching you eat it cuz I never seen such like ████ Happ funny dude you explaining your process of finding the Burger Joint I could see your mouth like salivating you're like yeah then ████ that F looked like he farted and came at the same time no cuz cuz like yeah when I was like uh about to make the cereal I was like I think I should record this cuz I haven't I don't even know I haven't had cereal in ████ hella long you know I haven't even had rice in like 4 months like white rice that would kill me so I was like I'm surprised you didn't get like a crazy insulin spike in like fuel ████ up I think I just had an orgasm or whatever it is like a shot of I just nutted that's all it came out in his nut and what's crazy is that day I had 800 G

16:05 of cars and you know just uh dry carb weight will hold water you know like when you eat like let's say a bowl of f the next day you'll weigh 2 lbs heavier because it just holds water I was like oh ████ I think my weight's going to get ████ up tomorrow I stepped on the scale and my weight didn't change I think my body just like evaporated yeah I was like did you gain 40 lbs that was like the next day yeah the next I gained 20 lb so I was I weighed in at 168 for the show the next day after the Smash Burgers and peanut butter jelly and then then we drove back from LA to Vegas we stopped by Eddie's world I had two whole pizzas a bag of two whole pizza yeah and I had a bag of uh yogurt covered pretzels holy ████ a back well cuz you know when you're just driving and eating you just go through the B and then I had uh after two old pizzas exactly how big

16:55 is a whole pizza by the way this big like a medium oh and then I had a chili cheese dog and then some peanut brittle it's like Eddie Eddie's World kind of candy and then the next day I woke up and I was like I wonder how heavy I am I'm like maybe like 5 lbs heavier and I stood on there and I was like what the ████ 187 two and and that was just all food well so that's my so this is why it's really dope to have a coach so that you don't ████ panic and freak out all the time like I was like yo what the ████ going on cuz my goal was I'm going to do this show I'm going stay 10% body like I went down to about like 7% body fat I'll stay 10% body fat that's what I'm going to maintain and then my next my next uh phase of my life I want to get into Jiu-Jitsu and I looked at the weight classes and 180 you have to waigh in with the G so 175 177 was going

17:45 to be perfect I'm just going to maintain this I didn't think I was going to balloon up to 187 so I text him Y what the ████ going on and he goes oh that's uh called the sodium carb rebound and it's not that like this is your actual weight it's just your body is so diminished that it's going to retain everything and it'll take about two weeks to correct itself so even a week after the bodybuilding show I had like the the most insane headaches the entire week cuz my sodium and electrolytes are so off so it's almost like my body has been walking through a desert for a month and then so even when if I'm drinking water my body's not maintaining the it's not holding on to the water so I was like having the craziest headaches you low don't worry that's normal I'm like man ████ are crazy like doing this kind ████ ni dude if you ate all that but then also had a salad you've been fine yeah that's why I didn't have a salad that's why your head was hurting the the only other time when

18:35 you were talking about your weight loss in general that I was like this is bananas was when Joe was like this is the first time in my life where Bart weighs less than me yeah yeah and our friend history it's never happened yeah he's always been bigger by a lot dude seeing you at that weight was a trip cuz it's like you still were able to keep your muscle mass but then you're just like a smaller version and you're like what the your chair looked bigger like like JK chair looked bigger around you yeah yeah yeah I'm just not used to huge there's that constant progression where we would go on walks and you always take off your shirt and just like every now and then we just always get more turned on by you and it was really weird cuz it's crazy bro whistle especially like 233 when the sun's hitting just right it's like w Bart's looking good we're over here biting our lips dude well congrats buddy

19:27 that was awesome thank thank you so the two swords you won was it in two different weight classes or like how did that happen there's two divisions so I signed up for like you could do like different competitions in the same competition so one I signed up for debut which is you've never done a bodybuilding show before uh so I did I did that um division then I also did um novice novice means you've done a bodybuilding show but you've never placed so I would say novice is so like debut is almost like first-time beginner sorry my logic calendar is or meter going off right now so you've never done it before but then you sign up for another one well you have done it before what do you mean no never placed never placed never placed but isn't the debut one you've never done it before that one I never did before novice is anybody can do it if you haven't placed so you do debate debut first we all got so the debut counts as the novice got it

20:18 well so I have to pose twice I go and I pose for debut never done it before and it was like me and I think like two other people and then novice was was more stacked it was like five people and then that's if you have never placed before so if you've done a competition but you got fifth place or sixth place or seventh place then you do that so you qualify for both yeah and then after that um the next division like if I were to do it again then I would have to do this one called open and then it would be like novice would be almost be like amateurs and then open would be like uh like Amro like very seasoned amateur to Pro and then the next goal after that would be try to get like a pro card or whatever that's kind of like how it how it Raks up but I don't think B going to get his Pro card you guys I would never it's too crazy is there any like workout program out there where the guy wins a ████ bodybuilding championship at the

21:08 end that's crazy are you the first one to make something like that oh I don't know I even think about it like because to me that's the craziest thing is that there I don't I never see workout programs where somebody puts up that high of a bet and like cashes it in at the end I didn't even feel like that like from Power Li to that's how good the program is the program's so good like who would say no to that program the guy freaking wins and he's done it all natural but then he makes a whole video where he ████ hates to experience and would never do it again yeah cuz I didn't even wow I didn't even feel like the way I viewed it was just like oh this is a cool Journey let's go do it I don't know how people call us marketing genus that's the part that I'm seeing that I'm like wao because you see all these influencers with their workout programs and it's just a bunch of like fluff but like you're actually like all right come with me on this and see how it goes I

21:59 thought that's why you did the show yeah guys who swim in Lakes they they swim like back and forth on across whole leges I trust those guys
