Jesse’s Workout Take Over (FULL WORKOUT)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to train with Jesse? In this video, Jesse is going to take you through one of his training sessions and show you exactly what he does in the gym in order to build muscle and get stronger.

[Phone call] Jeff: Hey, what’s going on? Jesse: Hey, man, you’re gone till Sunday, right? Jeff: Uh, yes. Maybe coming in on Saturday, but I’m not sure. Jesse: I actually had an idea.

So, do you remember your 23-minute back workout? Jeff: You mean from, like, ten years ago? Jesse: Yeah, well, I just watched it, but I thought I’d do one myself. You know, take them through a workout with me. But instead of doing just back, I d, you know, pull everything.

Jeff: Yeah, well try not pulling your muscles if you’re going to do that. Jesse: All right, well, I’ll do my best. Jeff: All right. Good shot. Jesse: All right.

Thanks, big guy. Jeff: See ya. Jesse: See ya. [End phone call] So, today we’re doing a pull workout, we’re going to start with my favorite called The Deadlift and conventional, of course. But we’re going to be doing it on the noodle bar over here, which is a deadlift bar, which makes it way more fun because you can lift more weight with it, at least, I think.

But I don’t know the scientific facts behind that, so don’t quote me on that. But before we get started with our warm-up and our actual lifting, take some pre-workout, RX-1. My favorite flavor, actually, my flavor in general, sour gummy candy. That’s the one that I helped develop and is my favorite. And I think you should buy it because it’s tasty and delicious and it gives you a lot of energy, it’s got creatine in it and it’s awesome.

So just take it. Ahh, yeah, that’s tasty. So, everyone’s deadlift warmup is a little bit different. I like to start with pull throughs, get a little bit of glute work in because glutes are probably my biggest weakness, so I like to warm them up a little bit, you know? Good, good butt shot, get that good butt shot.

So, I think a warm-up with the band is a band in good mornings. I like to do this to warm up my glutes again and also my low back because low back tightness and low back weakness is definitely going to hamper me in my deadlift if I don’t take care of it. So, let’s get 12 to 15 reps here. Good thing to focus on if you’re doing this, is the hip hinge. Because if you just bend at the back, you’re doing the whole thing wrong.

I can feel my hammies, my glutes, my low back activating. I completely lost track of how many reps I’m doing, so let’s do three more. Nice and primed. We are deadlifting on the noodle bar or deadlift bar as they’re called by normal people. We’re going to warm up with 155 I think it is?

I don’t, I don’t really know the conversion on the kilo plates too well, but I do warm up with one plate, keep it light. So, we’ll go five reps here. Oh, I goofed up on that, I forgot to pull the slack out I actually ended up lifting the bar off the ground, which is not something you’re supposed to do, but I guess I m feeling powerful today. All right, so warm-up set number two, we’re going to go for the same thing, five reps, see what happens. I got to tell you, if you could see it, but ripped off my callus last week deadlifting and it hurts every time I grab the bar.

So, I think from here out, once we get to 375, we’re gonna have to start chalking up because this does not feel good. Oh my God, I’ll tell you what, I don’t care what anyone says, kilo plates are about 30,000 times heavier than pound plates. You can grab the 20-kilogram plate, which equals, I believe, 44 pounds, and it feels like 90 pounds. It’s not fun, I hate doing it, If I had someone to load the plates for me, I would, but Mama didn’t raise no bitch. Fuck this.

This is gonna be my back workout, not my deadlift. If you want to lift heavy weights, you listen to this music. Tell you what, let me chalk up real fast. All right, we’re going three here, that’s 375 for three. People ask me, why do that hip shoot sometimes.

It just helps me get reset and in position, it helps me take a big breath to brace before I pull again. So, I’m not like in this position here waiting to pull and feeling like shit. You know, a little method to the madness just works for me. Might work for you, try it, see what happens. Paul: You make that look pretty heavy.

Jesse: It’s very heavy. Oh, Paul, you will be the death of me, my friend. So, we’re gonna go 485 next, it’s a big jump, but, you know, we’re just going to go for a heavy single here, so we’ll see where we go after this. Maybe 485 moves, maybe it doesn’t. If it moves smoothly, we’ll go up to 507 and we’ll see from there.

Hopefully we’re pulling 500 today because if don’t pull 500, my whole family will die, and I die. So, not good, so let’s let this weight. All right, so we re at the 485 now, which not going to be fun, even though deadlifting is always fun. I’m going for a heavy single here. We’re going to see how much we can lift today.

Hopefully this moves and if it does, we’ll go to 507. So, let’s, let’s check it out. The power of lifting heavy weight with angry music. Yeah, that went up. So, we’re gonna go up and try 507, see how that moves.

And if it moves any faster than that, which I highly doubt it will, we’ll go up. But this is the way I like to do my training is just kind of pick out a target weight and usually go for either a single, a double or a triple, depending on what that weight is and how I know I’m going to handle it. That’s how I like to do my deadlift workouts, it s usually a single or a double or triple, but today we’re just doing singles and we’re going to see how they move. Oh, man. Oh, yeah, by the way, we skipped a few weights we re go up to 518, not 507.

Oh, man, I m nervous. All right let’s do this. Oh. All right. Here we go.

Nope. Don’t have it. That’s okay. Yeah. So, some days you’re going to fail, some days you’re going to succeed.

Today is one of those days where you fail and you want to, you know, punch a wall, but you got to look on the bright side of things; still alive, still in the gym and I really don’t have anything else to be happy about right now my hand is killing me. Oh, geez. We’ll try this again in, like, five, ten minutes, give another go, because I think I got it. I just, I don’t know, I didn’t have it on that one. But, you know, sometimes the second, third try is the one you get it.

It was also a big jump in weight, so that could be a problem. But who knows? We’re going to find out as, as they say on the Internet, fuck around and find out. So, I’ve learned one of the dangers of deadlifting. It’s not your back, it’s not your hamstring, it’s not your glutes, you’re not going to hurt whatever.

You know, people say all the time that’s what’s going to be the deficit of a deadlift. For me, the thing I’m worried about is about rubbing off my tattoo. I’ve heard rumors saying that if you deadlift too much, you bring the bar up your thighs and you rub against it, you’re going to rub your tattoo off. I spent good money on this thing I don t want lose that yet, but I guess that’s the price you pay for deadlifting, right? Do the things you love and sacrifice in the process.

All right, we’re going to go back to listening to angry music, hopefully this does something for me. Where are my smelling salts? There they are. Game time. Gah, not happy about that.

Very unhappy. But you know what, shit happens. You fail, you learn from it, and you move on. So, let’s go do some other lifts, cause I’m fucking done with deadlifting, pissed. All right, so now that I got my deadlifting out of the way, we can do some pump work, a little hypertrophy work.

I m start with some Seated Cable Rows, because that’s the only thing that’s open right now, fucking packed ass gym, but whatever. Um, yeah. So, let’s see what kind of weight we can move here. Ooh, that feels good, get a good stretch. All right.

So, did not go to failure there, that felt
