What's your favorite cheat meal? 

What's your favorite protein source? 

What muscle group is the most difficult for you to grow? 

Wow. 6 million. I've always been a quiet, nerdy kid so making videos for millions of people is the last thing I ever thought I’d be doing. 

I’ll be honest, I started hitting the gym after I saw Ryan Gosling shirtless in Crazy Stupid Love. The way Emma Stone looked at him in awe, I was willing to do whatever it took to get there 😂. 

I went on to study Kinesiology at University and that’s when I was first made aware that they actually publish studies related to fitness/nutrition. I was OBSESSED and I wanted to share the research with other gym bros. That’s when the YouTube channel was born.

To film the videos I’d sneak into a gym at midnight when nobody was there and I’d film until early morning. I did that every single week for years. Eventually I started paying for a small gym to film at and I remember thinking how cool it was to have a key and my very own film space.

Then once the pandemic hit, I bought a squat rack, barbell, and bench and it was the greatest feeling having my own little garage gym. Then, a couple years after that, we built out our very own Built With Science headquarters and full gym. Doesn’t feel real sometimes.

This all couldn’t have been possible without your support. I’m forever grateful. Whether you’re an OG follower or just stumbled across my content recently, thank you for your support! We’re just getting started! 

P.S. - shout out to my fellow pinoys 🇵🇭 ! Yes, I'm half Filipino. Every time I mention it in a video I get a bunch of comments from fellow pinoys who had no idea what my background is haha. 

I remember when I first started my YouTube channel. As an introvert who absolutely HATED the idea of talking to a camera, it was the last thing I thought I’d be doing. But I so badly wanted to create videos that I wish I could’ve seen when I first began my fitness journey, that I decided to give it a shot. Yesterday my channel just hit 5 million subscribers, and the mission hasn’t changed.

Thank you all for being part of this amazing journey with me. I hope I’ve been able to help you in some way/shape/form along the way.

And to those of you who have dreams and aspirations, but feel held back by fear, I want to remind you that starting is always the hardest part. Don't let fear stop you from pursuing your passions. Take that first step and trust the journey. You can achieve anything you set your mind to.

10M here we come!! 

New YouTube video is LIVE! We spent A LOT of time planning, filming, and editing this one but I wanted to create the best deadlift tutorial out there for you guys! Check it out and let me know what other exercises you want to see me cover next! 

Over a year ago I bought a $12,000 EMG machine (a device that measures muscle activation) with the plan to create a series of videos testing and documenting how well different exercises are at activating different muscles. After a lot of planning, testing, and researching, we are finally ready to start the series. We kicked off the series with chest, by testing how well different chest exercises activate the three main areas of the chest (upper, middle, lower chest). You can check out the new video here! 

Only a few years ago, I was just a kid with a camera on a mission. 3 million subscribers later and I’m still that same kid on that same mission; to help change as many lives as possible by simply spreading the truth and providing as much value as I can. Thank you to each and every one of you for being there with me every step of the way. It’s only through your continued support, loyalty, and word of mouth that I’ve been able to come this far. 4 million here we come! 🚀 🙏

P.S - in honour of hitting 3M, I’ve been working on a vid to update you all on some of the behind the scenes and exciting projects coming up since I haven’t really done that ever since I hit 1M on the channel. It’ll be up next week! Stay tuned! 

Wow. Feeling beyond grateful and humbled right now. Today we achieved a big milestone of mine - I was just featured on Men’s Health!! Here's the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBmfK...  . Within the video I go through a day of what I'd typically eat to lose fat, and share some key tips/foods that I use to make the dieting process that much easier. Please do me a big favour by giving the video a like and leaving a comment to show your support! It helps out a ton and means a lot to me. Thank you for all your support and for being a part of this crazy journey with me. This is just the beginning! 

We just hit 2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! I am truly humbled by how fast we were able to hit this milestone, and I’m just beyond grateful for the continued positivity and support you’ve all provided along the way in each and every video I put out. That’s what keeps me going. As I’ve said in the past, I’m not the biggest, I’m not the leanest, I’m not the smartest, and I’m far from the most entertaining guy out there. But I freakin love what I do everyday, and I will never stop striving to improve and finding ways to provide more value to you. Thank you to each and every one of you for your support, I owe it all to you guys. This is just the beginning 🙏. And please comment below what topics you'd like me to cover going forward!
