So if you want to be the first one to pick one up and to get all the bonuses for free, then make sure to apply for my mailing list and that can be done by using the first link in my description box down below. I’m very excited. Thank you, guys, for the support and now let’s get this video started.
All right, look who came to visit me here in Amsterdam. Some of you may recognize her.
Veronica: High five.
Merijn Schoeber: We’re not going to say we’re from the –
Veronica: No high five?
Merijn Schoeber: You guys are going to have to figure that out. Oh shit.
Veronica: The freaking [0:00:56] [dell].
Merijn Schoeber: The freaking [0:00:58] [dell] girl. I didn’t even fuck about my diet today.
Veronica: No, he’s been good.
Merijn Schoeber: We’re just –
Veronica: Eating steak, 300 grams of steak and corn on a cob and some salad on the side – ah, and potato – and one potato and some –
Merijn Schoeber: You’re leaving out the best part. Yeah. Yeah. It’s going down now.
Veronica: That’s mine. Are we making a vlog looking like this? I had a nine-hour flight.
What? You’re hungry again? What are you eating, man?
Merijn Schoeber: Gains.
Veronica: You’re eating the gains. Let’s – can you please – can you ask them if –
Merijn Schoeber: Hashtag gains.
Veronica: Excuse me, do you have any gains in this place?
Merijn Schoeber: Should I? Should I ask that?
Veronica: Yeah, can you please do?
Merijn Schoeber: Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Veronica: Do you have some gains in this place?
Speaker: A what?
Veronica: Gains.
Merijn Schoeber: We’re looking for gains.
Speaker: Gains?
Merijn Schoeber: Yeah.
Speaker: Gains? Gains? What is a gain?
Merijn Schoeber: Like protein.
Speaker: Oh. What you want, bro? What you want?
Merijn Schoeber: What you want, bro? As many gains as possible. Chicken gains. Yeah.
Veronica: Box McNuggets.
Merijn Schoeber: The gain is right there.
Speaker: Yeah, bro.
Merijn Schoeber: Yeah, that’s it.
Veronica: High five on the gains. Yey.
Speaker: What kind of sauce do you want? Barbecue, sweet and sour –
Merijn Schoeber: So what is your first experience in Amsterdam?
Veronica: It’s wet. Thank you.
Merijn Schoeber: It’s summer here.
Veronica: It’s summer souvenir.
Merijn Schoeber: Oh, that’s actually pretty sick.
Veronica: Yes.
Merijn Schoeber: So we are at Starbucks. Guess why? To keep the fast going. I introduced her to intermittent fasting, didn’t I?
Veronica: Yeah. And now we have to have shitloads of coffee to get through today. Coffee with sugar free caramel.
Merijn Schoeber: Try it out. The best thing ever. Anyway, she’s on My Shredded Lifestyle. And how is it going?
Veronica: It’s going well. I’m not as cranky anymore as I was in the beginning but –
Merijn Schoeber: What do you mean? Like when you’re fasting?
Veronica: Yeah, when I’m fasting.
Merijn Schoeber: Yeah, you got to get used to it.
Veronica: Yeah. It was hard [0:03:17] [for a couple of days] but –
Merijn Schoeber: But it’s easy now, right?
Veronica: Drinking more water definitely helps. Yeah.
Merijn Schoeber: Tip of the day.
Veronica: Tip of the day.
Merijn Schoeber: Drink more water –
Veronica: More water.
Merijn Schoeber: – while fasting. How do you like eating later on the day?
Veronica: I enjoy it because you like – you look forward to it. It’s like –
Merijn Schoeber: Exactly.
Veronica: Like my pants are falling off. You noticed that? The guy is looking for chicken in the wrong – what am I saying?
Merijn Schoeber: Chicken?
Veronica: Chicken. The guy is looking for protein but I suggest it’s chicken. Yeah.
Merijn Schoeber: Yeah, we’re here in the Netherlands and they don’t sell protein bars in regular grocery stores which kind of sucks. They act like it’s protein but it’s only fat in here. Maybe this is protein. It says protein, year. One bar – oh, this is like fucking funny. They call it protein bar. The bar has 10 grams of protein, 12 grams of fat. What the fuck? This doesn’t make sense.
Veronica: It should be a fat bar.
Merijn Schoeber: 10 grams.
Veronica: Just buy some chicken.
Merijn Schoeber: Just buy chicken. Yeah.
Veronica: Just buy some chicken and we’ll have the fruit and the carrots.
Merijn Schoeber: Yeah.
Veronica: It’s awesome.
Merijn Schoeber: We’re doing healthy, healthy stuff over here.
Veronica: Yeah.
Merijn Schoeber: Where the chicken at?
Veronica: Hey, man. You got your gains.
Merijn Schoeber: You got your gains. This is like 130 –
Veronica: Kipfilet.
Merijn Schoeber: Kipfilet. This full [0:04:56] [hippie] life.
Veronica: Well, it’s fast food. You walk and eat at the same time. This is how we do it.
Merijn Schoeber: It’s how we do it.
Veronica: [0:05:01] [Lekker].
Merijn Schoeber: [0:05:02] [Lekker].
Veronica: [0:05:03] [Lekker].
Merijn Schoeber: Yo, pips. So it’s the next day right now and I’m about to fuck about my diet, so I’m about to show you what I’m going to eat. The reason I’m doing this, I haven’t had a review week this week and I woke up in a pretty heavy shape this morning. So I was like fuck it. I just really felt like it. We got Stan the Man here.
Stan: Yo, what up?
Merijn Schoeber: Are you jealous –
Stan: Yes.
Merijn Schoeber: – at what the boys are going to eat? This is the real Dutch cheat meal. Man over there is already killing it. So you can probably guess what it is. We got fries, cheese, döner, veggies. What else? Garlic sauce. I don’t know how many calories. I got a very small one though.
All right, so if you’re ever in the Netherlands, make sure to try this out. It’s called Kapsalon and this is going to help me fuel the workout tomorrow because what are we going to train tomorrow?
Stan: Legs.
Merijn Schoeber: Legs.
Stan: You’ll be needing it.
Merijn Schoeber: It’s always trying to do my [0:05:58] [reefy] day or cheat day before leg workout, a day before so I can outlift Stan the Man.
Stan: Not going to happen.
Merijn Schoeber: Stay tuned for tomorrow’s workout.
Stan: Stay tuned.
Merijn Schoeber: All right, guys, so it is the next day and I’m on my way to the gym preparing for war because yesterday Stan said he was going to battle me on the squats on the leg day. So we’re going to see how that’s going to turn out. But, yeah, I’m also like – I just – I was uploading the footage of this vlog, like the shit that I shot in Amsterdam and last night and it was kind of like unplanned footage. Like I was there with Veronica, I wasn’t planning the vlog. We just did it. We just got like having fun and I thought the footage was pretty funny, so it is on my iPhone.
So let me know what you guys think about that because I think vlogging is really about capturing the moment. So, you know, sometimes you don’t have a high quality camera with you because you’re not like planning on or, you know, something just happened and you want to quickly capture it. So let me know if you guys think that is shitty or if you think, you know, I should keep doing that whenever I feel like vlogging, because I did it on my phone. Quality is probably potato.
But, yeah, with that said, gym time, red Ultrasport and I’m actually feeling kind of shitty, you know. My stomach is kind of hurting a little bit from – definitely from the cheat foods yesterday. But, yeah, that’s what happens. Now at least I don’t feel like cheating anymore for the next coming days. Where Stan’s at?
Speaker: Stan?
Merijn Schoeber: Stan? Stan? Stan? Stan? Stan? It wasn’t me. Stan?
Stan: Yo. What up?
Merijn Schoeber: Stan?
Speaker: Let’s kill this guy.
Merijn Schoeber: Are you ready? What did you say?
Speaker: Easy money.
Merijn Schoeber: I’m ready, game time.
Stan: Why bro, what’s up?
Merijn Schoeber: Game time. Me versus Stan. We’re going to do front squats today. It’s supposed to be hypertrophy day, so about eight reps. We’re going to do 100 kg and just kind of like see how many reps we can get, see who gets the most amount of reps. We are debating whether this is cheating or not, but – yeah.
Stan: I’m not sure.
Merijn Schoeber: I think it may be – it definitely may be a little bit lighter. So, I might have do some extra reps to beat Stan.
Stan: Good luck, bro.
Merijn Schoeber: All right. So, the one who loses the challenge has to do something, something crazy, something stupid and I want you guys to come up with it, all right? So, you guys are going to decide what the loser of today’s challenge has to do and it can be anything. So, come up with some cool ideas. Give the ones a like in the conversation down below and one with the most amount of likes is the thing we’re going to do.
Speaker: Round one.
Merijn Schoeber: Eight reps.
Stan: Okay. I have to do it just to be sure.
Speaker: Round one.
Merijn Schoeber: The last one was smart.
Stan: I had to get that nine.
Merijn Schoeber: You had it easy. Stan is winning so far.
Stan: Yeah.
Merijn Schoeber: All right. So, what we’re doing is the best of three sets. So, total reps, I did eight, first set; Stan had nine. The thing is he had to go second, so he knew how many reps he had to get. So, it’s was more of a challenge. Now, I know that I need more reps.
Stan: Yes.
Merijn Schoeber: It’s time to go beast mode.
Speaker: Round two.
Merijn Schoeber: Fuck.
Speaker: How much? What happened?
Merijn Schoeber: I got 11 reps, no joke. I went a little too beast mode though. That last rep, like, I was holding the weight with my arms.
Stan: So, I have to get at least 10 to even up.
Speaker: Round two.
Merijn Schoeber: Damn, bro. Shit.
Speaker: Not [0:11:42] [steady].
Merijn Schoeber: That was not [0:11:43] [steady], man. It wasn’t even like a second coming [0:11:46] [up]. It was – did you feel it coming?
Stan: I had to get 10.
Merijn Schoeber: It seems like I’m winning.
Speaker: So he got nine, right?
Stan: Nine and a half.
Merijn Schoeber: Nine and a half. Look how serious Stan is taking this.
Stan: It’s been a while since I ate. Knee sleeves.
Merijn Schoeber: All right, all right, all right.
Stan: One more set.
Merijn Schoeber: We’re even now?
Stan: No. He’s up by one.
Merijn Schoeber: No. No. I mean, we’re even because I’m using the knee sleeves and you’re cheating with me on the banana. Do you see what I’m saying? Do you see what I’m saying? So, it’s even now.
Stan: Yeah. Cheating with a banana. Did you see his meal last time?
Merijn Schoeber: Right, so we got to the last set, the third set. This is the final one and I got to say, I’m fucking – I’m stoked to do this shit. But I want to win. So, I’m one rep in advance over Stan and he went to failure. So, I think I have an advantage for that. But he just ate a banana. So, we’re not sure. He got some carbs in him.
Stan: I’m just chilling here, waiting for [0:12:53] [massage].
Merijn Schoeber: And he’s lying down. So, I think he’s going to be tired.
This time, I’m going to go full beast mode, going to full failure. Let’s do it.
Stan: Do it.
Merijn Schoeber: I usually never go to failure. So, I’m not going to like fall down like Stan. I don’t like that, but maybe I am. We’ll see.
Speaker: Round three.
Merijn Schoeber: I could maybe could have done more – one more. My back started to kind of hurt, biceps again.
Stan: Nine reps?
Merijn Schoeber: I’m taking it smart. I don’t want to fuck up like again injury or anything just because I want to beat Stan. I don’t want to beat him that bad.
Stan: I do. No.
Merijn Schoeber: I actually do. But – so, I need to get 10 to even up or 11 to win. We’ll see. We’ll see.
Speaker: Round three.
Merijn Schoeber: 10.
Stan: Yeah.
Speaker: 10, so it’s even.
Merijn Schoeber: We’re even, aren’t we? Yeah. That means Stan, like he won for sure because, yeah, I got the knee sleeves.
Stan: No. No. No. We have to do one more.
Merijn Schoeber: Yeah.
Stan: One more set. I had the banana. He had the knee sleeves.
Merijn Schoeber: All right, guys. So, this is the situation. I had a [0:14:54] [indiscernible] yesterday like I had a cheat meal yesterday. So, I have more calories because we’re both cutting body fat at the moment. So, I kind of had a repeat. So, I’m stronger today. I am using knee sleeves. Stan is not using knee sleeves. I’m used to those. That’s why I wearing them. I don’t want to like fuck up anything right now or squat differently than I normally do. And Stan just had a banana.
And so, I’m saying he actually won because, you know, we did the same amount of reps and I had the advantage of the knee sleeves. But Stan is saying, “Let’s do a fourth set.”
Stan: Fourth set.
Merijn Schoeber: And the winner is going to be the winner.
Stan: Most reps wins.
Merijn Schoeber: Let’s do it, bro.
Stan: Let’s do it.
Speaker: Two good hearted boy, let’s see.
Stan: We’re not excited for this fourth set though.
Merijn Schoeber: Hell, no.
Some music, getting in the zone and I’m waiting for the beat to drop and we’re going to teach Stan the man a lesson.
Speaker: Round four.
Stan: Up, up, up, up.
Merijn Schoeber: Eight.
Stan: Eight.
Speaker: Eight. So, how much to beat?
Stan: You can do the math. You have to get nine. Or, if I do eight, we can do another set. No. I’m going to do a seven or nine.
Speaker: Seven or nine.
Stan: Definitely not going to lose, at least eight.
Speaker: Round four.
Merijn Schoeber: Was that eight?
Stan: Yeah.
Speaker: No, no.
Stan: Oh, no.
Merijn Schoeber: I guess it’s fair to Stan that he won, that I lost because we’re even right now.
Speaker: Even again.
Merijn Schoeber: We’re even again. So, that means I’m really going to take it and you guys can come up in the comments down below what I should do.
Stan: Maybe I’ll join because it’s even.
Merijn Schoeber: Maybe, maybe. It depends –
Stan: If it’s a crazy challenge, I’ll join.
Merijn Schoeber: That’s a sad answer though. That’s a sad answer. You’re either in or you’re out.
Stan: Okay. I’m in. I’m in.
Merijn Schoeber: I’m in. We’re both going to do something. We’re even.
Stan: I’m in.
