00:00No people classify me as a rapper, but I classify myself as an artist
00:03It's like I'm really moving really dancing the whole time. Sometimes my sets are 30 minutes
00:10Sometimes they're 45 a lot of times they're hour long
00:13So you have to be able to be in shape to do the things I'm doing. Yo, what's up?
00:17I'm NLE Choppa and today we're gonna show you what my workout look like
00:30I've always been athletic. I always play sports. I was in soccer when I was yay high graduated to football
00:36I was really passionate about basketball play basketball with a lot of artists play basketball with Quavo, Chris Brown
00:43Babyface Ray I played against him. Who's the best?
00:47You looking at him. I mean like come on, you know when I first blew up
00:51I was used to working out used to you know training going to the gym
00:55But you know after that was in the studio a lot more doing shows a lot more different things
01:00So I wasn't just skinny skinny, but I was slimmed up now. I'm just getting back into it
01:05Just you know getting back in the gym. I'm eating more. I
01:10am vegan simply because I was at a pivotal time in my life where I felt like I had to make a lot of
01:15Changes feel like it was room that I needed to walk in
01:20Growth so I stepped into it. The goal is I just want to be able to not use any
01:27Like supplements not to you know, speak down on them anything, but I just really want to keep an ancestral
01:34Approach to fitness. Yeah, that means just working with everything natural showing that I can still put on muscle mass
01:40But the type diet that I'm on I always go to the gorillas. I mean gorillas only eat fruit
01:47They strong as hell, all right y'all that's a few questions with y'all now, let's get into the workout
01:54Let's get into our warm-up which will consist of 200 push-ups breaking them down by two sets of 100
02:01I think my favorite part about it is like with the way I move. I know like I don't come back to my workout
02:08200 push-ups is accomplished and push-ups also
02:13Works the core so 200 push-ups is also good for the core and now for my actual workout
02:21The first push-up I like to do when I get into my workout
02:24It's something that I call push-ups with a small bit of resistance. So I was asking my coach
02:30I was asking him what is a way that I can feel like my push-ups are heavier so I can add more
02:38Tension to my workout make it a little bit more of a struggle so it don't feel easy
02:43He recommended doing these style of push-ups
02:46After the push-ups with resistance. I like to get into my close arm push-ups
02:51So that's when you kind of keep them close elbows in you just you know, you're doing them when I get into these push-ups
02:59I'm usually doing three sets of 20. So just smooth and simple
03:05Because it's a lot of different variations of the push-ups I'm doing and all of those numbers add up
03:10So you just need three sets of 20. That's it. I
03:13Do some cardio. I do some jogging. I jog around my neighborhood
03:17Sometimes my daughter forces me to do cardio get her she'd be on her bike
03:22She'd tell me come on dad. You got to be strong. You can't be weak. Let's run
03:26I'm like, well, it's kind of cool to say for you because you want a bike
03:30She'd be coaching me and I'll run around the neighborhood
03:34The next push-ups we're getting into are my diamond push-ups
03:38But I like to add a little bit of a twist to it
03:40The Mike Tyson push-ups actually take care of all of this right here
03:45All of that right there and then you also work up here up here up here
03:51So the diamond push-up with the blend the sprinkle of the Mike Tyson is beautiful
03:57I
03:59Everybody want this suspect to be packing. It's getting to the core. It's getting to the core
04:05It's getting to the core
04:07What we like to do right here is plank twist
04:10Plank twist. I like to get real low with my planks because once you twist them you feel the burn a little bit more
04:19So, yeah, I like to get into my conscious we do three sets of 25 of those
04:24Simply because I got a tendency of like going real fast
04:28So I just add five five more because in a space of me going real fast
04:32I know out of those 20, I probably messed up on three or four
04:35So I make up for it with five extra last but not least. These are the ones I
04:42Personally do not like doing I do it anyway, because I feel like if you don't like doing something, that's your key
04:48That's your sign to that something that you need to do
04:52V-ups, I think it gets easier with like like the same way with the push-ups and get a little easier
04:58I think V up to get easier with the more you work out the core
05:01I also seen one that goes even more extreme than V ups
05:04So let me just be grateful with the videos because I seen the guy do a V up
05:08Legs went up then he spread his legs and then tap the middle in between it was some it was some crazy
05:14I don't know how he was doing it. He actually did like 20. Oh
05:18So I'm gonna stick to the V ups
05:21It's my least favorite part of my workout, that's why I do it last
05:25Yo, what's up, I'm in Nelly chopper. Thank y'all for stepping into my world coming into my workout men's health. Let's do it
