+DRAX hey man thanks for watching! That's pretty much what I intended to show in this video. Even gave some tips at the end but I'd be more than happy to make one elaborating on what ever you want. Typically I stay at home and study all day and take a 2 hour break to go to the gym. Without that gym break I feel very restless from sitting at a desk all day. The day I vlogged was actually more busy than my typical day so it may seem like I didn't study a ton but I probably got 6-7 hours of studying that day.

EJ_Fitness np bro, yeahh watched till the end. You should defo keep up these vlogs cos it was how I found the channel!!

That's awesome! Congrats on your acceptance! It is a great journey ahead. Its not always fun, but I enjoy it a hell of a lot more than undergrad hahah

+Nicholas McGowan thanks brother! I appreciate the support! And I'm in my first year of medical school. If you're asking specialty, that doesn't happen until residency 👍🏼

+A Mzad thank you for all the kind words and I really appreciate your support! 🙏🏼 I have full faith that all of you will get me there!

+Blackwiz congrats!! Yeah it's gonna be a struggle. I'm looking forward to the clinical aspect of education but I'm gonna miss the free time I have this year!

If you thought not being able to work out during 3rd year was a struggle, just wait until residency ...... congrats BTW on graduating

I hear the number "100" being tossed around a lot when talking to residents/ faculty describing the amount of hours they put in per week. I do not doubt that this is over exaggerated at all so I definitely cannot imagine getting a workout in and eating right while putting all of that time into your profession. It is a scary thought, but exciting at the same time. You're finally doing what you dreamed of doing... Just probably at a much higher frequency than you would like to practice lol.

Like yourself, I take my health and fitness seriously but as you can imagine, when you're doing 36 hour overnight call in the ICU every 4 days the fitness part definitely took a dramatic hit. But anyways, keep doing what you're doing and good luck on this journey

Oh man I bet. Thank you!

+Cody Swearingen thanks brother!! 🙏🏼

+Matthew Cannings dang im sorry! Yeah we haven't relaxed now but clinicals will be brutal!

+StompLtd first year is pretty chill! Second and third year aren't though 😢

I'm chillin' as a sophomore in Biochemistry lol. Good luck

thank you! Good luck with undergrad!

+Brandon Hoffman hahaha thanks bro!!

+Fredy Mendez thanks Fredy!! I really appreciate the support 🙏🏼🙏🏼 keep grinding!

+Salvador Mena thanks Salvador!! I hope these videos help!

+Kamal Ekermawi thank you very much kamal! And pretty much, I study about 12 hours give or take depending on if we have required clinical activities that day. The days where nothing is required is when I can get a solid chunk of studying done. The schedule I typically show is given to us by the school. I've used google calendars to create schedules before though 👍🏼

+Ruben86vlc that's the calendar our school provides!

+Gage Purdy 😂 she's a smart one! Sometimes too smart for her own good hahaha

EJ_Fitness , 😂😂

+GD.Fit thanks brother!! 🙏🏼

+bmx687 thank you!! I'm not in clinical rotations yet, but the way I'd go about it is to try to be as organized and prepared as possible. Meal prep everything before the week starts so I know I'll have food ready to go while I'm busy!

EJ_Fitness great tip EJ! I am sure to have my meals for each week! I think the tough thing will be the lack of energy throughout the week but as we say, "if we want it we'll get it," right? BTW kudos to you docs and future docs! I've met some incredible folks during the first week of my clinical rotations. I appreciate all you folks do! Enjoy your summer buddy! Subscribed. - mike

+bmx687 thanks a lot mike! I really appreciate the kind words and thank you for supporting my channel! Yeah it is a tough grind on low calories but you just have to remember nothing worth having comes easy! 👍🏼

+Ramzinator24 the schedule I show is provided by the school! I've used google calendar to make my own schedule in undergrad and it worked very well

Thanks for watching! I'm glad this was motivating to you!

+TheAbsoluteTruthzz hahaha thank you!

+lloyd l 😂 you gotta do what you gotta do

+Christine thanks Christine!!

+Ashley Cox thanks Ashley!! 🙏🏼 Christian is an awesome guy, it's an honor to be compared to him 😁

+retsamilo thank you! It can be hard at times for me to focus, but I try my best!

ouch! yeah that is a rough commute! kudos to you!

thanks Anm!

Bro..Im dental student. Bangladesh.. u inspire me a lot... i want to start a vlogging.. and funny dental video

+Anm Bashar you should bro!

It is possible!

+Bogz Tamad thanks! And students only, we pay a lot of money for this 😢

ow i see thanks for responding

+Sheheryar Ahmed thanks! I'll be sure to incorporate more medicine related things!

yes please, it would be great to see videos about your study habits, (techniques), tips, pointers, classes your taking, and things like that! Things you recommend to someone thinking (and hoping) of getting into Med School (albeit not in the US), but maybe there are things that can be interpolated from different countries and approaches to life as a first-year medical student especially! :)

i will definitely keep this in mind and cover this in future videos! Thanks for the suggestions!

+EJ_Fitness +White Coat Chronicles hi im 18 yr old im goimg to start premed but now suffering from depression bcoz i lost my family in a car accident, i need to talk plz replay pll addme on skype or fb

+Raj Kumari hey check out www.betterhelp.com they reached out to me and wanted me to spread the word about what they can do for people in your situation! I sincerely hope this helps!

+Geraldo Medrano between 6-8 pm. If I go later, I don't take a full scoop

+MyJanoskians nice!

+S.lboro yes sometimes I do if they speak too fast!

+Victor Elensi yeah I'll definitely include that in a future video!

+Victor Elensi this isn't 100% related but I posted a video on the 5 best resources for studying in the preclinical years for med school exams. I don't talk about my study methods necessarily in this one, but they are helpful resources if you're interested!

EJ_Fitness Thanks! I actually ran into it right after I commented. 👍🏼

+Victor Elensi no problem!

+Matt thanks brother! And yeah there is a lot of calisthenics out there! Best of luck with your career switch!

+David Monroy coffee in the morning and Ghost Legend preworkout right before hitting the gym 👍🏼

+Nolan Brackenrich yessir!

+aslesh nice! Yeah I would say I attend about 2/3 of lectures/ activities because they are required. Not everything is optional

That's unfortunate, not that it will affect you, but hopefully your school changes the attendance policy. Playback speed and reducing travel time to and from school is what gives me that extra 1-1.5 hours in the day to hit the gym. Don't get me wrong, I still have my sit in a chair all day long and sleep 4-6 hour days (especially leading up to exams), but I try to get in at least 60 min of physical activity a day. It really changes you, mentally and physically. I'm only in my second year, I imagine my time for the gym will be greatly decreased when I start clinicals and residency.

EJ_Fitness highly unlikely but I hope so too. 😂 greetings from the Philippines ✌

+mizzu M 😂😂 I bet

+User 19021473 thank you! I'm definitely interested in that area of medicine and will look into it! Thank you very much!

+Tom Bob hey! I actually have never used the Arnold books so I can't tell you if they're good or bad. What I can tell you is as a natural lifter, you should try to hit your body parts at least twice a week if you have a year or two under your belt. If you're brand new starting out, I would recommend doing either full body workouts, or separating your workout days into upper/lower body days. Get used to all of the movements and executing them with proper form. Don't worry about the weight. Proper form will keep you safe from injury and produce better results. I do a modified version of a push/pull/legs split. So I lift 6x a week and do each day twice a week. Instead of doing all pushing movements and pulling movements in one day, I actually do chest & shoulders on my first day and back and arms on my second day, and legs on my third day. Repeat and rest on the 7th day. I do this for two reasons. 1) I don't like doing chest and tris the same day because I feel like I exhaust the pressing motion and don't get the most out of each exercise, and 2) I want to focus on my shoulders so I do those first in the week coming off of a nice rest. Ultimately there is no wrong/right/perfect program. Do what you enjoy and what you want to focus on. At one point I was doing legs 3x a week and shoulders 3x a week. The current program I'm on now I feel like focuses on my weak points and gives me the best overall balance.

+Stock Girl 😂😂 hahah thank you!

+Louis Haddad thanks bro!! 🙏🏼

+heyimalbert Sony a5000

+tdreamgmail i watch all of the non required lectures online. I typically still go to school 2-3x a week for mandatory lectures/ tests/ quizzes!

+I guess Jose thanks for believing in me and thanks for the support! I'll remember this 🙏🏼🙏🏼

+GeeKey Gaming Aaron smith - dancin krono remix

+GeeKey Gaming and thank you!

+Sergio Torres thanks bro!

+Isaac Khan 12 weeks is plenty of time to make a significant change and you can definitely do it! I recommend coming up with a diet plan that will work for you and sticking to it 100%. Not being committed to your diet will be the number one reason for not seeing results. It will kind of suck but you will be happy you did it by the start of school. One thing I've noticed since I've started school is i didn't realize how much I sit and study until now. So I think it's really good that you've decided to develop good habits before the craziness of school starts. Back to the tips, I have a few dieting videos if you have no clue where to start (check out my education with ethan playlist) the key is to eat at least 90% whole foods, high protein, moderate carbs, healthy fats, hit the gym regularly and get in a few cardio sessions a week. Let me know if you have any specific questions here or shoot me an email. Thanks again for watching!

EJ_Fitness Damn thanks for the quick reply. Yeah my older brother is in Med school so he told me to prepare and get in shape before Starting Dental school so it will be easier to maintain my shape. Definitely will be using your videos for help, once again thanks a bunch!

+Isaac Khan any time bro!

+joshua daniel monachan no problem! You can do it!

Thanks dude

+joshua daniel monachan no problem!!

I was really surprised when you told that you don't attend classes that much but that doesn't necessarily become a drawback in your grades. However where I'm from its mandatory to sit and hear lectures.

+joshua daniel monachan yeah I still watch every lecture! Just not at the lecture hall.

+Matt thanks! I'm from California

+Matt Acker thanks brother! I pay for everything on my own (except cell phone bill and health insurance bc of a family plan) through loans. I could afford every expense if I had to on loans, but you have to keep in mind that everything you borrow, you pay interest on (6-10% depending on your loan). Nothing has to be paid back until residency though.

EJ_Fitness What happens if you end up dropping out medical school? I'm assuming you're still responsible for said loans, right? Loans are scary man. Lol.

+Al H yep you're exactly right. It takes some crazy circumstances to drop out. It's almost never academic incompetence. Usually other life circumstances or just true lack of desire from the student. Med schools invest a lot in you so it's in their best interest to get you to graduate.

EJ_Fitness I think the answer is no. But, do you like you are losing your college experience you paid for while not attending class in person.

+Jeremiah Nieves hahaha absolutely not. I watch every lecture, have every teacher available to me and never miss a thing. Like I said, I still go to campus 2-3x a week and see my classmates a lot. So nope not at all!

+Javiel Ricketts thank you Javiel!!!

Np prob doc
